@FH14: Oh yeah, that's another kicker for that one. The act itself was WTF, but those added bonuses made it even more unsettling. It was a Holocaust memorial, if I remember correctly. I remember the Prussia that apologized acted like what they did was only bad because they did it in that location, as if it'd be acceptable to go "lol, heil hitler" anywhere else? @_@

@WA: Cons can actually be fun, but yeah, between some cosplayers and some other people at them, experiences can be rough. Between the AB incident and some other Hetalia fans doing inappropriate things, it's become the in-thing to use Hetalia cosplayers as a scapegoat for why cons suck and/or to blame all of them for con problems (even if none of them really did anything then, fff). When I was younger, it seemed that Trekkies were the most mocked/hated/butt of fanboy jokes, nowadays it's anime fans due to certain types. This is kind of funny though too, since I've been trying to gravitate more towards Star Trek out of an interest, and it's annoyed some Hetalia fan-people I knew. Funny how that works!
