/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

So we have a new strip, Hetalia Day is coming up -- what are you up to, Hetafags?

Does anyone do anything for Hetalia Day any more?

Also requesting nyotalia if anyone has some.

Sorry for being so long winded, but I do have another story to add that gives me hope! While at A-kon, the girl next to me in the cosplay contest was dressed as Hungary. She was 14, but quite smart and really aware of the fandom. I have never met a more mature 14 year old Hetalia fan. Hopefully she is not a rarity, but even she felt like the rest of the anime community was against her for liking Hetalia. She described herself as a "sane" fan, and knew about the incidents (she mentioned AB) that had given us the bad reputation.

Of course, I met plenty of weebs (saldy, 18+ weebs) at the Hetalia After Dark panel, but even some of the younger fans are history lovers instead of the other kinds of fans.
