i oppose Hetalia on the grounds of it being pro-Axis propaganda, and it teaching young Japanese and Americans to support Nazi and Fascist causes.
It should be banned in the US.
No, seriously, it should.
I am offended personally by the content, since I dislike anything that portrays Nazi Germany, Communist Russia, Fascist Italy, and Military-Run Japan as bishonen and bishojo moe anthropomorphism children, and teenagers, which makes it even more offensive, as I find bishonen moe disturbing when used under these circumstances.
Do not make a mafia of it, please, as it distorts the truth about WWII.
I think the concept of Hetalia is fucking stupid, but stupid or not I don't think it should be banned. Saying it causes young children to support facists ideologies is the same as those people who say video games should be banned because they endorse violence. First get some actual proof it does that to children before you make such statements please.
As for the distortion of history, have you ever seen a WWII movie? Most likely that distorts the truth about WWII as well. For instance, why is it always the Americans that are the saviors in such movies, with the Soviet-Union nowhere to be found? Last time I checked they also had quite a major part in the liberation of Europe. Want to ban those movies as well? Heck, almost every form of media you'll ever see about the Roman empire (just one example) is a distorted truth, should we ban all those untill they're historically correct too? And other cartoons that portray the roman empire or the medieval ages or whatever era historically incorrect (spongebob, fairly odd parents, the smurfs, etc.), should those be banned as well?
