Anime is anime, and the characters will never be more than that. (Depressing as it seems, the sooner it is realized, the better.) The characters started out as somebody's thoughts and ideas, and then came to exist on paper. That's it.
So when I see another person outwardly trying to bash and '1 Up' another person just because they don't agree with their tastes and opinions, well... I find it sort of stupid. There's a very fine line between discussing and bashing. Discussing means that you can accept this other person's opinion, AND express your own at the same time with no hurt feelings. You can have an intelligent conversation. Everybody walks away in a good mood. Bashing is going out of your way to put this person down, this person that has opinions, just like you do. If agreeing with another person's opinions about something that doesn't even exist upsets you and makes you want to hurt another person's feelings, well... then there's a problem there. If a person doesn't like yaoi pairings, that doesn't make them a homophobe. (Yes, I've seen people call others homophobes and the likes, just because they don't find any of the yaoi/yuri pairings in Hetalia appealing. I've seen the hetero pairing fans bash the yaoi/yuri fans, calling the yaoi/yuri fans mean names. For example: If a person doesn't like USUK but likes FrUk, that doesn't mean that this person is 'biased' and 'isn't a true hetalia fan' or whatever. I've seen way too much of this stupid fighting. We should try to get along with the people that are a fan of Hetalia, not put them down and be offensive and mean.
Bottom line is: Don't agree? You don't have to. Just don't hurt somebody's feelings over something they like and you don't. Hetalia, at the end of the day, is just an awesome anime that Hima-papa came up with. So let's learn to appreciate Hetalia and all of its fans, because, after all... they like it too, right?
