These things about ''[[{{TOPLEVELPAGE}}]]'' are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Because the characters are countries, and ''no'' country has a clean past, it's not very hard to find [[Darker and Edgier|much]] [[Dark Fic|darker]] interpretations of the characters, especially when set during the past for any colonial power. In fact, the series has [[Alternative Character Interpretation/Anime/Axis Powers Hetalia|its own page]] for the trope.
* [[Americans Hate Tingle]]: While there are definitely Western fans who like Japan, there are also a sizable number of fans who are 'meh' about him at best and [[Fan Dumb|brand him]] as an [[Extreme Doormat]], [[Flat Character]], and/or even the series' [[Creator's Pet]] at worst due to his [[Yamato Nadeshiko|relatively]] [[The Stoic|stoic]] [[Inscrutable Oriental|personality]] and him representing the author's homeland which automatically makes him the character most vulnerable to [[Mary Sue]] accusations.
Line 179 ⟶ 181:
** Lord, what some fangirls do to Taiwan in their Taiwan/any-Asian-male-but-almost-always-Japan fanwork. Japanese and Chinese/Taiwanese fen are especially to blame for this, apparently inspired on how her land was [[Imperial Japan|"the Pearl of the Japanese Empire"]] from 1895 to 1945.
** Japan has been accused of this too by fans who apparently believe that "([[Not So Above It All|mostly]]) emotionally reserved character who gets focused on sometimes and has a [[Love Triangle]] of sorts going on with two (relatively minor) characters" = "perfect [[Gary Stu]] harem lead who has half of the cast falling all over him". Also comes mixed with [[Die for Our Ship]] from rabid Turkey/Greece shippers who bash him for getting in the way of their "far hotter and more historically important" pairing.
* [[Ron the Death Eater]]: Oh, boy. [[Ron the Death Eater/Anime and Manga/Axis Powers Hetalia|Now with its own page.]]
** America may have his jerkish moments in canon, but some people make him out to be an absolute and irredeemable [[Jerkass]], especially when they want to make [[The Unfavorite|Canada]] [[Sympathetic Sue|look better]] or [[Die for Our Ship|justify England hooking up with someone else]].
*** Or a [[Psychopathic Manchild]] or even [[Bespectacled Bastard Boyfriend]] who treats Japan horribly during/after WWII. Sometimes this is done to [[Die for Our Ship|send Japan running off into the arms of someone else]], but other times it seems that the fan authors truly believe that America would ''actually'' act like that towards Japan. Keep in mind that while Japan initially resented America, he eventually warmed up to him during Westernization and is clearly good friends with him in the post-WWII strips. You would think that would signify that the events at the end of WWII are far from the be-all end-all of their overall relationship, right? [[Never Live It Down|Apparently not.]]
