AN: Is it wrong to ask for a more accurate stereotype? As a show that bases itself of stereotypes trying to interact with each other, it angers me that some aren't even accurate (first that comes to mind is Sweden). That and some things need to be addressed correctly if Himaruya also wants to educate people.
Italy and Romano are two halves of a whole stereotype, they simply don't work as different characters if you actually want a stereotype of Italy. Italians are kind at first and let out their stubborn side once you've gotten to know them, not simply kind or simply an asshole. And while Belgium can work as one character, the divide between the north and south should be mentioned, especially since it's the exact reason why Belgium had no fucking government for several hundred days. And then there's Sealand, I searched everywhere and nowhere did I see Sealand being purchased, with the closest thing being the Pirate Bay merely wanting to purchase it for a new base of operations...
As an older fan (being an adult), my aim was to make something people would see as controversial concerning the characters and hope for good reactions from younger or newer or simply overly-forgiving fans. Turns out I'm doing a good job so far.
Humans make mistakes, but if they don't improve from them, then they have no excuse. So why is Hima this godly exception?
"...What? Why does it say I'm emo in the summary?" Emil asks himself out loud.
Andersen pets his shoulder. "It's because 12 year olds that think they're emo want to relate to you. I mean, these are the same people that villianise Ivan for no reason, you know!"
"Denmark, since when was your name Andersen?" Berwald suddenly asks.
"Since when was my name Mathias?" Andersen asks back.
