I don't know what really "scares" me about Hetalia…
"That can be a little weird when you take a step back and realize you're slashing not fictional characters (as per usual), but fictional representations of real life countries"
Maybe it's this XD I'll see. I'm fine with the jokes against Italy (hell, it's called "He-talia" X3), actually, it usually deserves them…
Yes, I agree about the rest. With yaoi is probably more obvious than in het-stories because 1) they are more and 2) many people tend to present very male, even virile characters as "girlish"… Either it's harder to keep them in character, or fan-writers are too young and female and have a very idealized version of just everything.
God, so it is a funny word! XDDD I thought I felt it as funny because I'm Italian. When I was younger and found the word "cock" in a fic I went to check on the dictionary just to be sure… and the first meaning was this (http://www.correrenelverde.com/animali/images/gallo.JPG). I mean. What is the semantic connection? … wait, I don't wanna know.
