All right. I’ve seen this pop up every now and then, and this
is what I have to say. I can’t find anything that would confirm this. You would
think that if Hima revealed something as
big as that, there would be screenshots to prove it. Any fangirl would leap
at the chance to prove that their ship is ‘better’ than others.

That said, there is no evidence that Hima ever said this; it’s
all just hearsay with contradictory statements that don’t line up. Likewise, there’s been many similar
instances where fans make posts, claiming to quote directly from Hima. This is disrespectful
on so many levels, and I highly encourage that it stops.

However,
and this is a big however, I’m pretty sure I know where these rumours came from.

Some fan likely used the transcript of this video
made my Hima and changed it in order to promote their ship and spread false
information.

In it, Mochi America says, “He is a British, and he is gay.” 

Can you see how easy that would be to manipulate?

Personally, I wouldn’t consider America x Italy to be a crack ship at all 😊.
They get plenty of interaction together, and even share a few commonalities.
For example, there’s the running gag that they’re both supposedly unable to
read the atmosphere.
