Can he be a pervert? Yes. Is he a pervert? No. There is a big difference from being a pervert at times and actually being a pervert. France can just see the beauty in things.

He's a pervert...though he's not a rapist...anyway, France is naturally going to be a perv since he's the country of LOVE! And love can be a little rounchy. So, yea. He is a pervert, but being a pervert isn't bad unless it goes to far and you turn into a rapist. So yea, like him as a character, but he is a pervert. Wouldn't run away from a cosplayer (I would actually hug him if he were real), but he is indeed a pervert.

Stupid americans, learn what a real pervert is and not just someone who acts pervy. If that is the case, then we are all perverts.

I don't act pervy :/ and I'm not stupid T_T I hate anything pervy thank you, and I hardly doubt someone who goes down naked a lot isn't a pervert. That is nit morally correct, making him a pervert. Oh! Know what a pervert is stupid english girl! Pervert is some on who is morally wrong, not just saying innapropiate things, he has gone naked before, that is morally wrong to do. So yea, think before you post things. Nice try, but you didn't prove me wrong >:D besides, its. My. OPINION. GET OVER IT. I think he is one and nothings going to change that, at least I'm not calling him a rapist T_T

You support Yaoi and watch anime, you have to be pervy to like those. The French believed the body shouldn't be hidden, that is what Hetalia is trying to show for France's history. They thought the body was beautiful. Also opinions can be wrong, since Himaruya has only said France is a romantic and a big flirt.

I like yaoi, but I don't like it being innapropiate...I like it when it's nice and cute, not like when it is wrong. I hate anything innapropiate. And your saying opinions are wrong, doesn't that mean what France believes could be wrong. Oh, you still can' t prove me wrong.

Judging by his thought process he usually has regarding others, yeah, I do. But then again, whether they say it or not, aren't a lot of guys pervy? xD

But he's definitely harmless, I just see him sort of perverted in a... dorky kind of way.

Ikuyomi_T: Well actually opinions can be wrong to some point. Like what if you say England isn't a tsundere? It's an opinion, but it's not correct. And it is true Hima-san has said France is only a romantic and a flirt. He hasn't called him a pervert yet.

...wait...you hate innappropiate things? How do you watch Hetalia? XDDD

Well, if you watch hetalia, it's not as innapropiate as American television (cough, cough, south park) so yea...I ignore the innapropiate and suggestive parts (except episode 23 with the phone call to Germany XD that was funny) yes, he's perverted. But what you guys need to understand that any character other then the younger characters and lichentstein are perverted. In some way, shape, or form, there all morally wrong so yea. I don't mean France is a huge perv who talks about boobies, I mean it by being moraly wrong, which is the actual definition. So yea XDtrust me, hetalia is not as bad as things like south park and family guy. XXXDDDDD

I don't believe he is a pervert. Yes, he acts pervy at times... So I'm stuck in the middle.

France just sees the beauty in thing....and respects it....that's not a pervert...

He has his, um~ *coughs* moments, but he is defiantly NOT a pervert

OK, so someone who isn't a pervert would group someone and then proceed to try and undress them? (One of the Christmas scenes in the webcomic) yea, OK.

Ikuyomi_T: The Christmas scene was actually for fan request. The fans asked Himaruya to have France strip the requested characters. Just like on the April Fools comic was full of fan comments and request for France.

You'll learn soon that being pervy at times is different from actually being a pervert.

No it isn't, if you do pervy things what. So. Ever, your a pervert. I don't see what the big deal is, I don't think he is a rapist, I only think he's morally wrong, like over half of the hetalia characters are!

Ikuyomi_T: Again, you'll get it when you're older. Because by your logic, everyone in the world is a pervert it. Being pervy at times and being a pervert are two different things.

I look at it like everyone is a perevrt, because were all morally wrong, it goes to show how imperfect we truly are. Being morally wrong is not wrong, it just means some things you do aren't th e best things in the world to do. I'm morally wrong, I do things that aren't right like cus, hurt other, and probelly stuff I can't think of. So yea, everyone technically is a prvert since we all are morally wrong. Eo get over it. I'm done here since I'm tired of this what you would call a "debate". I believe what I want and someone like you can't change that.

Ikuyomi_T: Again, come back to me when you grow up some. Being a pervert doesn't mean 'morally wrong' google it. It means being inappropriate all the time, things like that. Which France doesn't do 24/7. Meaning he can act like a pervert, like everyone else on the planet. But that does not mean he is a full titled pervert. You can believe all you want, still isn't true

I think some of us really need to cool our jets here.... really.

The responses are pretty old, but yeah, I agree, IllusionDolls. This is just a fictional character that won't get his undies in a wad over being called perverted.
And besides, Francis is a pervert. He goes over the line sometimes. He likes sex a lot. He likes sexually-appealing things and people. Holy shit, we are fooling ourselves if we keep saying that Francis isn't perverted after he literally joined the Olympics only so that he can get naked. But the great thing about characterization is that sexual perversion isn't his only aspect, so of course that isn't the only thing that defines him.
And the even greater thing about sexual desires and such that drives Francis into his more passionate and happy state is that liking sexual things is not bad at all as long as it doesn't promote endangering others, so can we not continue pissing ourselves over how thinking France is a pervert is bad?

I do realize a huge majority of these comments are over a year old but, I'm speaking up anyways because this completely bothers the utter crap out of me and I'm getting real tired of it.

Francis is not a pervert. He is at times. That's a big difference. He's passionate and enamored by things and people that are beautiful. He see's the world and the people in it as beautiful. Hence that he see's the beauty in everything and has great respect for it. He isn't fueled by sexual desires or perversions. Half the fandom thinks this man is a raging flesh bag of hormones and perversion. France thinks with his head NOT his dick.

Let me just be a bit of a know it all and quote this: "France often seems infatuated with most of the nations and is known to make blatant sexual comments at every opportunity and is very affectionate, often shown streaking or touching other nations inappropriately. However, he believes love is not something to be forced on others and, if given a firm no, will usually avoid touching or stripping, and he will stop if what he's doing isn't enjoyed."

Taken from his profile. That says a lot if you ask me.

Anyways, I think as long as people continue to claim France as a pervert others will still continue to "piss themselves" over this subject. Like myself for example~ -smiles sweetly- I realize there's the "just ignore it" option but, when you've ignored it for so long and you see this being said over and over with no let up, the last straw gets pulled.

To all people who think that my opinion sucks: Let me just say that calling France a pervert is not exactly a bad thing. I call my bro a perv sometimes, and he doesn't care. I say it in a joking manner. I even call MYSELF a pervert. Say, if France did something perverted, I would be like, "he's such a perv. XD' BUT I wouldn't mean it as an insult. No, I do not believe that he really is a pervert. But he does perverted things. I think the proper term for him would be more like, "Perverted." I'm not saying it as in he's perverted all the time, but yeah, he can get perverted, and I bet that he sometimes does get perverted thoughts. That's all.

Also, a certain someone said opinions can be wrong above. That's BULLSHIT. *face palm*

I only call him such in jest.
