Despite these criticisms, and considering Hetalia's subject matter and the massive activity of its fandom, [[wank]] is relatively uncommon. This is possibly because many fans choose to vent their frustrations in a separate [[anonymous]] [[meme]]<ref>http://aphanon-meme.livejournal.com/</ref>, where they are allowed to rant and discuss anything, Hetalia or otherwise. Fans of the show tend to address criticisms gently, maturely, and with understanding. The most drama the community gets usually involves conflicts with the maintainers.

There, however, is a general perception that Hetalia is a wanky fandom by outside observers. See, for instance, [[inkstone]]'s [http://inkstone.dreamwidth.org/85246.html post] about the Hetalia [[cosplay]]ers doing a Nazi [http://www.journalfen.net/community/unfunnybusiness/243927.html salute] at [[Anime Boston]]: "It's funny that all these people are coming out and saying, "I'm not surprised about the Hetalia fail!" Not because they're failing, but because I really have no explanation for why I have such a negative impression of the fandom despite pretty much never having been in it or interacting with it."
