I just need everyone being increasingly toxic and negative about NATLA to realize that the OG cartoon has a gazillion problems too. The original creators are white, the only POC of the main cast for voice actors were the season 1 villains(Zuko and Iroh). Guru Pathik was voice by a white man doing an Indian accent. The SWT and NWT sexism has consistently be pointed out as inconsistent to the cultures it draws from. Sokka and Katara's names are randomly derived from Arabic because it apparently sounded good. Sokka's face paint has also been criticized. The show and concept, fundamentally, has a LOT of issues.
NATLA would also have similar issues but they're trying to fix it the best they can. It is by no means perfect in it's rep and I doubt it'll be perfect in storytelling but everyone manages to give grace and dismiss all the disrespectful things going on in the original but can't seem to do the same for NATLA.
No one points out the actual issues in the OG because we saw it as children and the overall quality of the show outweighs the flaws. Again, you need not praise the live action, be interested or bother watching it.
Just, don't act like the OG was a perfect piece of media that never did any wrong because I had to live with the only show with a dark skin female protagonist also depicting my identity in one of the most racist caricature ways ever.

"Following the release of Scottish wildcats into the Cairngorms National Park last year, this summer 'Saving Wildcats' are getting ready to release more into the population 🐈
Tracking their movements using GPS radio collars, we know 17 of the 19 released last June, have stayed within the project area. With some starting to settle down but most continuing to roam about the countryside, scoping out different areas.
As Scotland's last remaining native cat species, we're proud to support this project and make progress towards vital global conservation."

Mount Jupiter catches on fire right after being logged. I feel like somehow those two are connected.
