#turning occupation and imperialism as a teehee joke about Russia just wanting friends <<<<<<<

[kornealla]

Does anyone remember *those* Hetalia fans that used to draw personified versions of the post-Soviet countries as a one big happy family with Russia being “the father” (barf)? And the countries that now actively hate Russia as “the rebellious teenagers”? Or worse when they would make cringey comics/fanfics about the fall of the Soviet Union and turn into a fucking pity party for Russia and his “ex-friends” (colonies).

Why the hell did the fandom encourage that shit?
