Toughy Tomboys and Mary Sues

Something I've noticed about Yaoi fangirls is that they will always hate on one of the most annoying-looking girls in anime that oppose their one true pairing just because this Mary Sue is romantically involved with one of the characters in this one true pairing.

For example: In Hetalia, a lot of fangirls tend to hate Seychelles or Liechtenstein because they interfere with the "undying love" between America and England which happens to be the most popular pairing in Hetalia as the anime supports it a lot just because of some freaking dirty storage room that America had to clean by himself.

However, Vietnam who is usually in a pairing with America because of the Vietnam war, does not receive that much negative attention. Why? Because she appears to be the kind of toughy tomboy that every girl wants to be but can't achieve. It's the same for Hungary when a girl ships Prussia and Austria together. They all look like they have killed several men and still look smoking hot which is something that Seychelles/Liechtenstein lack because of the angelic and pretty little girl way they appear.

It's also the same for other anime. Yes, including SHOUNEN aka Naruto, Bleach etc. (Though I would certainly appreciate it if Orihime Inoue from Bleach tries to stop making herself a target)

Honestly, I don't like Seychelles that much either. But she only appeared once in the anime (from World Series), a few times in the manga and I don't think I can ever play Gakuen Hetalia, so I can't judge her from her personality. So yeah, I admit I don't really like her because she interferes with the "undying love" in my OTP. This rant is dedicated to somebody on YouTube who hates Seychelles with burning passion...because her OTP is USUK. (cough cough cough)
