Hetalia WTF?

transemacabreSo I was browsing the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hetalia_kink meme, and what do I find but jaw-dropping little gem. Allow me to quote it in its entirety:
Okay, recently I found that a good number of states were going to secede or gain sovereignty depending on the outcome of the health bill (request is not about that - by the way) so that made me think of this.
I'd like to see the Southern states breaking away from the Union and America not wanting to let them go, but doesn't want a war over it (as legally, the states are in their rights to secede according to the 10th Amendment).
More specifically I'd like to see the following states (for genders):
- Male Texas
- Fem!Louisiana
- Male Mississippi
- Male or Female Alabama (doesn't matter to me)
- And Male or Female Florida.
Those are the states Anon really wants to see, but feel free to add more states.
I'm also a Texas!Anon so, yeah, much love for Texas-kun.
Bonus:
- America gives Texas his glasses (back?)
- Union/Northern states are divided (as in, some want the southern states gone while others believe losing them would be harmful to the country).
- America considers them all his 'children' and that's the reason (or part of the reason) why he doesn't want to let them go.
- America getting "advice" from the states other "parents" (ex: Texas had Spain, France, and Mexico as three of the six flags of Texas - therefore they are his parents)
- Southern accents for all the southern states except Florida (as they are the only southern state to speak with a general American accent)
- The Southern states get their own Nation-tan (Confederacy-kun?)
Anon can make the reason for this whatever they want (except the health bill because I'm tired of that), you can make it in the future - so long as it's after the Civil War.
I'd like angst please as well.
I know I'm picky, but I'll love you for life if this is done!
Okay, putting aside the fact that the Supreme Court ruled back in 1869 that states DO NOT have the right to secede from the Union (except through "consent of the States")... a Neo-Confederacy? Really? REALLY? Is that really the first thing you think would happen? The Southern states secede and of course they automatically form a new Confederacy, because it worked so well for them the first time what with the mass graves and Reconstruction and all. I'm half-surprised the prompt didn't include a request for a chapter in which the Neo-Confederates enslave all the black people.
'But Mipp', I hear you say, 'this is Hetalia fandom. This is hardly the most offensive or inaccurate thing ever requested on this kink meme. What justifies you getting butthurt over this?'
You know what, fuck it, my feelings are valid and I'll get butthurt over this just like Russians and Canadians and probably Sealanders get butthurt over stupidity in Hetalia fandom. This prompt is insulting to me as both a Southerner and a rational human being. The kink meme has instituted a 'no wanking' policy, so I'll refrain from bitching there, and keep my feelings to my own lj.

I mean I watch a fair bit of news and I have heard nothing about states threatening to cede. So obviously, there sources are questionable.
Lord, I just don't even know...
Yeah, because we'd all just band together and reform the Confederacy for no apparent reason.
"HELL YEAH, THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN"
*facepalm*

Obviously there would be a reason. The reason is the same as last time, Independence.
It may not be the same, states can be granted Sovereignty rather than secession.
Hell, some people have a lot of Southern pride. Some people have pride in just one state. Some people have pride in America. I have pride in all three, personally. I see the threat of secession as just that - a threat. That if things don't change for the better, we will leave.
Desperate times call for desperate measures. I doubt it will come to that because the American people seem to be figuring it all out now... but don't think people these days are above Civil Wars.
If people want to break away from what they see as tyranny then they have every right to attempt to do so.
I watch the news everyday, my whole life practically revolves around it - I've seen what the people think, I've watched it, I know it.
If worst comes to worst, I would rally for secession if that was the only other option. At this point in time, there are other options.
Back then, it was either fight or be oppressed.
However, I would think people would want to get rid of us - to be honest. I mean "Hell yeah, let's just get rid of the Red States so we can make America 180 degrees the opposite of what it's supposed to be!"
Ah, but, that would be obvious... wouldn't it?
