I'm pretty sure the Nyotalia hate is basically "ew vagina". Notice how no one ever bashes Mangary, or any of the other canon female Nyotalia male genderbends?
I'm also sure about that. :/ So far, it's just been all-around squeeing for the Nyotalia males. I kinda wonder why some of these fangirls hate themselves. I remember someone randomly saying that Nyotalia was a "bunch of Mary Sues", which struck me as odd. Is "Mary Sue" just the catch-all phrase for "female character(s) I don't like"?
Still, though, I noticed that some of those who do like female characters tend to hate Nyotalia. I'm really curious about that.
It really pisses me off, especially since all of the Nyotalia guys except Seychelles are just generic bishies =|. Even Mangary's lost his charm if Himaruya really is taking Lake Balaton away from him. And just. Ugh. The internalized misogyny is so gross. As is the misuse of "Mary Sue". It is possible for a series to have a canon character that is a Mary Sue, yeah, but a Mary Sue is by definition a self insert. I'm preeeetty sure Himaruya isn't modeling the Nyotalia girls after himself ='|. (also no, this does not make Japan a Mary Sue/Gary Stu, since Himaruya obviously doesn't intend for Kiku to be entirely modeled after him
( ... )
Mangary doesn't have the flower anymore? :( But yes, much agreement. The sexism depresses me, and no matter how much I try to justify it, it does seem to all stem from misogyny and the hatred of anything with a vagina. And misused words. (And I agree about Japan.)
I get the feeling that is the reason, that Nyotalia gets more focus than the canon girls. Doesn't seem like a good reason to hate it, but I can understand the annoyance.
OH YES, THE IGIKO HATE. I think she looks nice. :( I love her pigtails. (They're actually a pretty common hairstyle for a tsundere character.) Did they want her to be a carbon copy of England? As you said, a lot of the characters aren't what we pictured them to be when we hear the premise of Hetalia. I remember someone saying they expected Italy to be some badass action guy. XD (Not that Italy can't be badass. I like the idea, and there's even the pic Himaruya drew of him.)
