So, apparently, some idiot Hetalia cosplayers thought it might be a good idea to perform a Nazi salute during their photo shoot in public, in front of a church, during Easter weekend, DURING PASSOVER AND MERE MILES AWAY FROM A HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL ( Read more... )

is this really happening?, fandom, crushing time now, probably wankbait, stop waving that privilege around, failboat

The post is locked, so I can't see it. But I'm rather surprised this hasn't hit CosFu yet. :/

I've had lengthy conversations with my friends in Hetalia fandom (I don't participate in the online fandom, so I have no idea how it goes over there) about Lines You Don't Cross. And... yeah. That's... Hetalia fandom should have a conference.

They must have locked it after realizing they were crossposted to unfunny_business on journalfen, as well as a whole bunch of other places. Most likely trying to do damage control, but it's way too late for that. You can see the picture here. I think Norway sums it up for everyone.

And yeah, DEFINITELY a 'do not cross' line. There are a bunch of really offensive things you can do with WW2 versions of the countries, and that one was at the top of the list.

That Austria with the folded arms looks like she's calling bullshit.

In a more broad pop culture coincidence; this was on racialicious today.
