* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: Indirectly Referenced in "[[https://satwcomic.com/you-have-my-gun You Have My Gun]]": "America of course has a tendency to make their own versions of foreign films, but they also edit foreign film covers and posters to make them look more aggressive because apparently Americans respond best to that sort of thing."

Bishonen is Definition-Only fan-speak term used only for Japanese/East-Asian media. No examples allowed. Per TRS. This comic isn't East-Asian or Japanese.


* FemaleGaze: Once when asked why, if she is a feminist, most of her characters are male, Humon replied that as a (mostly) straight woman, she likes drawing men for herself to ogle. She has also expressed irritation with fanworks that present/describe all the male characters as {{Bishonen}}, since she went out of her way to depict numerous different types.

''[[http://satwcomic.com Scandinavia and the World]]'' is a webcomic by Creator/{{Humon}}. It is a comic about stereotypes, history and culture in the form of [[NationsAsPeople national personifications]] interacting with one another, à la ''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'', and focusing on, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Scandinavia]]. The main characters are Denmark, a cheerful, but culturally naïve party boy; Norway, a friendly and calm nature lover; Sweden, the uptight technology expert; Finland, a quiet drunkard with psychotic tendencies; and Iceland, a sparkly, larger-than-life pretty boy.

* NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization: In [[http://satwcomic.com/hetalia-personality-swap "Hetalia Personality Swap,"]] Norway and Finland [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin switch personalities with their Hetalia counterparts for a day]]. [[spoiler: Though she never says the word rape, Hunon does say in the description "Sweden was just minding his own business and watching the news when Finland suddenly got all cuddly and kissy kissy. Sweden was scared for his life but ended up doing things he regret, and which Finland will kill him for if he dares ever mention it again." In the followup comic [[http://satwcomic.com/the-day-after "The day after"]], Sweden says "... I didn't start this!! I didn't want to, but suddenly you were all over me, and I didn't know what to do!! ... I tried to stop you, but then you started kissing me, and it rather surprisingly turned out you're a good kisser!!".]] This example is odd in that Sweden is using it himself to rationalize what happened, rather than Finland using it to justify his actions.

* NorseByNorsewest: Being a comic about stereotypes, each character shows varying shades of this trope. The classical Hollywood stereotype isn't that prominent, however, due to the stereotypes coming from a Danish viewpoint. The comic's premises actually inverts this, as it shows the Scandinavian perception of other countries.
