No worries! It didn’t come across like that at all. 

I know you were referring to the fandom 🙂 My only point was that when a series is based on stereotypes, it would be a miracle not to find more within the fandom. People work with stereotypes and incorporate them into their work. 

You’re entitled to your opinion, but headcanons are subjective. Veneziano being seen as a player isn’t the most harmful trope out there, even if it is contrary to what he’s like in canon. I’ve seen France, Spain, and Prussia be depicted as players too (just to name a few), so I wouldn’t say it’s exclusively applied to Veneziano or Romano. At the end of the day, it’s other people’s content and their re-imagining of the characters.

While I’m of the belief that some things shouldn’t be incorporated into a characterization out of respect, most headcanons shouldn’t be intruded upon either. There’s always going to be discrepancies in how people envision the characters.

H3H3 said it best: “Just because you’re offended, doesn’t mean it’s inherently offensive.”
