Yeah. Though I'd like to point out there are also the odd bunch who will refuse to even watch FUNi's streaming because it's supporting the racist American "[insert trigger word here]" of Hetalia. Their choice, but the people who loudly dictate that they'll be pirating torrents and stuff to stick it to the man are giving me secondhand embarrassment in this whole situation.

Nobody has to like the dub! And nobody should feel pressured to love it, or even feel pressured to hate it all because of fandom peer-pressure that some people are sporting on either side. I'd say it's more of a fandom thing than just the dub's existence though, shipping causes this kind of controversy and side-picking at its worst too.
