I’m considering rejoining the fandom, but part of the reason I left it years ago was because of how toxic the fandom became. A lot of the blogs I used to follow aren’t around anymore so what’s the atmosphere like in the hetalia fandom right now?

How I look at it is that you choose what content you want to consume within a fandom. I honestly could care less what other people think about the fandom because of its reputation. What you do is not a reflection of that. Right now, we have a major problem with plagiarism, but not so much bullies like before. There’s also lots of accusations being thrown around with incest and pedophilia, some of which does exist and is inevitably problematic, but there are times when the label is being wrongly applied. Again, since the fandom has dropped, the sexualization of minors hasn’t been as much of a problem. 

                                                   Oops.

                                                     Aiyaa

Instead of a ne ne apocalypse, I’m now calling for a total renaissance of the fandom…

I want more heartbreaking historical literature 

I want more Slice of Life AUs 

I want more trivia and headcanons 

I want more silly video edits and snarky political  jokes

 I want more blessed fanart 

I want more international friends 

I want more knowledge about different cultures 

I want my FANDOM, my COMMUNITY back
