I don't like Seychelles, anyone who even tangentially knows who I am knows I don't like Seychelles. I admit I acted really stupid about that fact when I first got into fandom and since then have apologized for it and now prefer to ignore her existence. And before everyone goes "Sexist yaoi fangirl" on me, may I say Taiwan, Belgium, and Hungary are some of my favorite characters.
That being said, those DA hate groups are stupid. Why focus your energy on something you don't like? I'd rather spend my time doing and paying attention to things that, you know, I do enjoy

Considering the nature of the Gakuen Hetalia PSP game, it's much more of a Visual Novel than a Dating Sim by itself. However, the form of the game was close of an Otome one so I can't really tell.
But as I said, not everyone is forced to like Seychelles for different reasons. She's not my favourite Hetalia character, but I hate when people go and bash a female character with the infamous "Mary-Sue" term.
True, but even if it was a visual novel I feel like it could have been done differently...I vaguely recall a mini game-like thing a while back where you play Picardy, I think? And you can talk to France or something...but I don't think their face was ever shown and you could enter any name you want. That's the kind of fannish thing I'm talking about. I just feel disappointed and a little slighted they didn't so something more similar to that, and instead made a game where you play a character I don't really care for, rather than a blank slate. But that's me, and not everyone so, different strokes for different folks

I get what you mean on your point about the Visual Novel.
That part with Canada changes the whole story, then. Since I only saw bits of the game, I thought it was more neutral. I get why it maddens people, now.
I too don't see the point because it will be obviously spammed by the one who also don't get the point of its existence. Those have also a short life expetancy so it's really trying to hit the wind.
The Seychelles hate has been around ever since the first Gakuen game. That said, I've NEVER understood the Seychelles hate. I don't find anything in her remotely unlikeable

I agree with all the points you made. Besides, because France groped boys in the original series deosn't mean he hasn't a fondness for girls. It's actually quite the opposite when you re-read the Christmas Bloodbath 2007.
Some claim it's because it didn't allow them to self-insert themselves in the PSP game, making it more Dating Sim-like. TBH, I would have liked it way less had it been like that. Because I prefer to watch interactions rather than being myself the one interacting with the boys, lol.
Anyway, if it should ever happen, if I can't go out with Turkey, the game will suck 8D. *headshot*
The Mary-Sue argument is weak... it usually go out of some mouths because their owners don't like a girl's personnality or the way she's behaving. Duh...
Mostly it seems to come up because of shipping, which is pretty annoying. I'm not sure how she's paired up with everyone; she's pretty minor. I'm sure there are other reasons, but that's usually the one. That, and she has a vagina.
(I must say I LOVE the comments on the club's page. XD)
Belgium is hated in there because of her voice. And they're also jealous because they heard strange noises in the Oyabun CD when Belgium ate churros.
Maybe they're just jealous because Belgium wants secretly Boss Spain's mighty churro. But they seem to forget one thing since vol. 3 was out : EVERYONE WANTS TO TOUCH BOSS SPAIN'S MIGHTY CHURRO.

And that's the result of doing something against something and not for something. I'd love to explain more, but I should sleep, now.
