What is the most overrated thing in Hetalia (pairings/characters/etc.)

Pairings, and how it seems that more than half of the fandom is convinced Hetalia is all about that. I myself ship a lot of stuff, but to me shipping is no where near how much fun and feels I have just by watching Hetalia. I mean, sure, I fangirl when I see hints of my ships in the manga/anime, but you know what? I don't think I'd be as happy shipping them if they became canon. Hetalia is about history and comedy, not about romance and drama, and I'd like better if it was kept as such.

Shipping wars.
Ugh. They make me sick. Who cares if someone doesn't ship your precious pairing, it's not as if it's the end of the world as we know it. That's part of the reason I'm not a shipper. And the fangirls tend to act obsessive over it, if their pairing gets bashed they will defend it to the grave. I ship a couple pairings mildly but at least it's for a reason, not just eye candy.

It should be "What are..."
First things that hit my mind:
1. UsUk (the pairing)
2. England (the character).

OMG the time has come! FrUk! I saw this video on YouTube called 50 Reasons to Ship FrUk, and even though a few were legit, the person said some like, "They sit on the same log in Paint It White." Rlly?

frUk aND UsUk.

Pairings and people's love for the characters.

I don't have to explain the pairings, someone else already did, but I think sometimes we go a wee bit overboard with love for characters.
I remember one time on tumblr whenever the "Though I may depart, you shall remain" episode came out, and everyone started feeling sad for France. Yes, I understand, a sad episode in Hetalia, but jeez. After this episode, some people joked around some, kidding around about France, someone saying maybe, at one quiet moment, France was thinking about England, a couple people went to their inbox and messaged the people posting the "bad" stuff about him to go and die, you wouldn't understand his feelings, you don't understand what the episode is about, etc.
But, they sent people death threats, just because of that little joke.

So yeah. I think that's just ridiculous, in my opinion. Not just for France, there have been many others like that as well.

ENGLADNENGLANDENGLANDENGLAND...I'll say it once more, England.

I love Iggy, don't get me wrong, but most people seem convinced that he's the perfect character and you should live him more than others. And his two main pairings, USUK and FRUK are overrated as well. There are other pairings besides these two!!

I like England, but geeze, people just need to calm down.

The other thing is yaoi. I love it. I'm a fangirl. I'm on both yaoi spots here on Fanpop. But geeze, people in the fandom treat it like there is nothing else to the fandom. I've seen people hate on straight pairings for absolutely no reason (well, the reason is that they're not yaoi).

I love it as much as the next girl, but the straight pairings exist, and it is possible to ship something that *gasp* isn't yaoi!!

Pairings. Why must it all about pairings? Seriously. Our fandom is tearing apart because of this..[in my opinion]
To be honest, England is kinda overrated because he's 'that lonely grouch we could all sympathize with,' and the fact he's not that bad looking just made their reasons even clarified. Though I have nothing against him, he's still just..a character..a fictional one at that..

Oh yes...Germany is kinda overrated now..I'm talking about the whole 'doitsu' religion thing..It used to be funny, but now it's just getting old.. I mean, did you know that they actually made a 'Doitsu day,' where you have to answer every question with 'Doitsu'? I mean, seriously? What if someone's having their exams that day? -__-;

oh my god I can't believe anyone hasn't said this yet. SHIPPING WARS!
Holy crap I get so sick of UsUk and FrUk fangirls fighting over the dumbest little things! Shipping wars are seriously overrated. That and people who go around saying "Oh Hetalia is history, therefore if you support this pairing that isn't historically accurate, than you're disrespecting the actual countries itself!"
Pffttt seriously? How dumb can you get? Hetalia is based off of stereotypes. STEREOTYPES. Not to mention it's a Japanese cartoon/anime so who gives a f**k.
God, fangirls and history fangirls drive me up the frikkin wall. If YOU respect the CREATORS of hetalia, than maybe you'd be a better person and respected other people. I hate it when people respect a frikkin anime character more than they respect actual people. That's just straight up sad.

I would say that England is overrated. (No offense Iggy fans, I love Iggy myself, but eh. He's not my fave character.) I would also say that the shounen-ai is overrated. Way too many people ship shounen-ai. What about straight couples? What about shoujo-ai? Those need love too. (Though shipping characters together is overrated itself.) Heck, my brother is afraid to watch Hetalia because he's afraid that it's gonna be only about shounen-ai. (And no, he's not a homophobe. He's friends with a gay guy.) And people act like shipping is everything. NO IT ISN'T. Hetalia is not a yaoi show. (Or a show to pair characters, on that matter.) It's a comedy show that is meant for laughs. Seriously guys. We can do better than to start shipping wars. They're so fricking pointless. If you think about it, a shipping war is just a war over two FICTIONAL characters. that's why I hate arguing shipping wars so much. They are so pointless. And a waste of time too.

In my personal opinion it is three simple things~

1). UsUk

2). England ( I quite like England myself, however)

3). Pairings/Yaoi (I must be honest, I have not seen so much yaoi in one anime that isn't about yaoi. It undermines the anime immensely and makes a lot of fans forget what Hetalia is about.)

Pairings, and the Yaoi people create...Escpically between Fruk and Usuk...the fan arts are horrible, along with fanfictions. Plus, the two couples are at each others neck ALL the time. This is my second account since in my last one, I was tired of how I ended up getting on ther ebad side just because I wasn't a full out Fruk Fan (I fan both couples...)

I also think the hatred towards characters are over-rated...I mean, France is considered a rapist by a lot of the fandom. And Russia is always some abusive person. So sometimes I must wonder if people do this on person. Even Spain, who is one of the sweetest characters on here is considered a pedophile, along with England. Really?

FRUK

I like it but still...
I have seen more bashing by FRUK fans than any other pairings. I don't know is it cause France is considered a perv and people are trying to back him up in a lovable relationship, they're cute together or what but dude the bashing should stop.

it would be the damn USUK.. i don't see any reason why it became so popular!! and why are there many shippers of the pairing..

Ugh...I just want to say it,.,ENGLAND!!!!
I mean, i love iggy myself, but too many girls are falling for him, saying "he's the hottest guy ever", and making too many CRAPPY fanfictions that are usually about THEMSELVESx England. I hate it, but dont get me wrong...I love iggy too.
So,the thing that pisses me off is when a fangirl (to me, its the American fangirls) says they love England, and then they say "OH, i HATE being an American! I want to be British!" JUST BECAUSE OF FRICKIN ENGLAND! I mean, seriously guys! Just because you love a character doesn't mean you should stop being loyal to your OWN country! I hate it! Hate it hate it, hate it! I love APH America and I love my country as well, also UK too, but not so much that I start hating MY OWN COUNTRY.
Also, whenever I see a video like "Hetalia's hottest guys" the number one hottest guy is ALWAYS ENGLAND!! Actually, i dont think that you should be categorizing characters either. That will eventually lead to arguments and overrated characters. Seriously, he's not the hottest thing ever to EVERYONE. we should be free to think what we want instead of forcing people to LOVE ENGLAND. To all you iggy lovers, I know you. I personally love iggy too, second to america. But to you fangirls who overrate him a tad bit too much, STOP. STOP forcing people to love him and STOP categorizing characters. Its wrong and it stops people from thinking what they want.

Rant is over.
