Reacting to Hetalia axis powers funny moments by I like things 

To be fair it does play the stereotypes as big dumb caricatures. It knows these stereotypes are silly but it never really comes across as hateful. Stereotypes are bad pretty much a vast majority of the time but I think they can also be fairly harmless when played right. The big thing with stereotypes is they're really only funny if they have truth to them rather than just completely baseless stereotypes that clearly show you don't know anything about the thing you're poking fun at. Then it just comes across as ignorance rather than actually understanding the culture enough to poke fun at it. I feel like Hetalia is one of the few things that manages to do it well.

@@Pragabond owe yes they do do it well. Not only do they petray it in a harmless way they even use real true facts to back up there clams. Showing you that there not trying to insult anyone even though some people think they are and the writers really care about history and did there resurch to and found a way to make it funny and fun to learn things to. I enjoy laughing and learning things while watching this and reading the manga and learning and paying attention to the deep, sad and beautiful meanings the show and manga have to offer if you pay attention to it😃

You can take what’s presented as fact or go there and figure it out yourself. “Is it the norm to drink a barrel of beer and then bust it on somebody’s head?” I don’t know, go to Germany and find out!
