One biggest lies of zutara fandom is Blue Spirit and Painted Lady is similar, but the good part is when the real fans debunk that lie:

Aang/Kataang haters be like âKatara deserved so much better than a SHORT BALD CHILDDDDD REEEEEâ yall are so miserable I swear. touch grass. Katara and Aang were both kids and were peers. Katara also never gave a damn that Aang shaved his head lmao itâs literally part of his culture. please show me when and where she ever made a comment about disliking how he looked? cuz it never happened. Katara loved Aang and wanted to have a relationship with him. She wanted to marry one day and have children and thatâs exactly what they did! Get over it already
I will legit never understand the hatred for this pairing it actually makes no sense lol. Theyâre so sweet and wholesome. Theyâre like the most innocent ship you could possibly ship. Theyâre childhood best friends who end up in a lifelong relationship and they both love each other so much. Literally what is there to hate?
I swear the antis hate this ship based PURELY on how Aang looks. They donât find Aang conventionally attractive or as fitting what they THINK a male love interest should look like so they hate his character and this pairing. Heâs not masculine enough, he���s not attractive enough, heâs too short, heâs too feminine, he doesnât have emo hair etc.
look how fucking cute they are đđđ theyâve never ever deserved the hate and you know what?! I LIKE THE FACT AANG IS SHORTER! ITâS FUCKING CUTE!!!! IT MAKES IT CUTER! SUE ME đŁď¸đŁď¸đŁď¸

Kataang: *fights only 1% of the time and the other 99% is spent standing at each others side, supporting each other*
Everyone: "They are so toxic"
Zutara: *were enemies and hated each other for 3 seasons and were only on good terms for the last three episodes*
Everyone: "omg they're so perfect for each other"

I almost WANT zutara to become a canon in NATLA. in a show that completely destroyed Katara's character, and turned Zuko, a complex and tragic character, into a pale and boring version of a poor, offended boy. Kataang really has nothing to lose if it is not going to be a canon in this dull school play with bad costumes and makeup, Katara with her real character chose Aang, and nothing will change that (just like the canon well-written Zuko chose Mai). if zutara will happen in NATLA, and the zutarians accept it, it would really finally demonstrate to everyone how they treat the real Zuko and the real Katara and how they actually "respect" their characters

blah blah something something about how fandom gravitate towards more individualistic characters because theyâre easier to understand compared to community-oriented characters whose character development is very much tied to their culture/nation because understanding a single character is easier to understand than a character AND an entire culture, especially when said culture is based off a marginalized community that exists in real life đŤ and said fandom is majority WHITE.
#mini rant#fandom problems#aka#atla fandom problems#yes this is about#katara#cuz when am i not talking about katara#and how this fandom does NOT understand her#because yâall donât bother to learn about the cultures the white men took from for this show#and how kataraâs entire character revolves around her community and her role in it#which is also why that horrible ship is allowed to prevail#because this fandom downplays kataraâs loyalty to her tribe#and the cultural implications of that ship#anti zutara#anti zutara fandom#the same can be said for zukka before someone brings it up#in fact#anti zukka#when the tags longer than the post#lmao#iâm not even gonna mention who the individualistic characters are because

Seeing people grow out of their z*tara phase is extremely validating. Cause people were coming up the wildest fucking takes in the fandom.
The fact that most of the fandom demonised 12 year old Aang, a genocide survivor and the literally the last remnant of an ethnic group, was abusive or "toxic" about his feelings for katara or mocked him for his passivity, something that was an integral part of his culture and identity as an airbender.
Or using Katara as a reward for Zuko. Praising that one scene that she hugged him as the end all be all for their relationship despite the fact that she was completely willing when threatening to kill him. There's no way Katara would align herself (through marriage) or her family with the nation that ruined her life.
Aang brought her hope and genuine happiness. He respected her and taught her how to be a child again. Her and cared attacks against the fire nation.

ZKs really be treating Zuko like Man Lite⢠or Diet male⢠or pseudo male⢠or whatever you wanna call it.
"Aang, being male, is inherently complicit in patriarchy.... Not Zuko tho cuz.. hehe"
"Hakoda and Sokka are likely to dismiss Katara being SAed cause they're men... Not Zuko though cuz.. hehe"
#i bet my two cents it's cause there's a silent men âwho faced racial oppressionâ in there..#anti zutara#antizutara#anti zutara fandom#atla#avatar the last airbender#anti zuko stans#tw sa#cosmi's post

After watching all of ATLA how can someone come to the conclusion that kataras arc should end with katara getting with the person directly responsible of her oppression ��đ˝ââď¸

????? creepyâŚ? Aang didnât view Katara as a mother or mother figure within his life, lol. Like, ever. Show me when and where Aang ever thought of her in this way?
Yâall are invalidating the love Aang had for his father Gyatso who actually raised him from the time he was a baby. Aang viewed Gyatso as his parent. He loved Gyatso as his parent. He proudly states to Katara and Sokka that Gyatso âtaught me everything I know.â Stop erasing Aangâs bond with his actual parental figure in canon. Aangâs love for Gyatso and grief over losing him is what everything else in the story revolves around. The disrespect you idiots show to this relationship is ridiculous. We need to start gatekeeping this show Iâm so serious
The first thing Aang did when he met Katara was to ask her to go play with him as the children they are. He then reminded her that she was still a child, too. Aang always viewed Katara as his peer and equal, his best friendâNEVER his parent.
If Aang viewed Katara as his parent, that means he would view her as having authority over him. Which he doesnât. That also means he would expect her to care for him, which he very much doesnât.
In fact, the exact opposite is depicted. Aang actually canonically struggles with and rejects Kataraâs affections toward him, multiple times. It is portrayed as difficult for him to allow her to show him love, something he has to get over as the show continues. Aang never asks Katara for anything, and he doesnât expect her to do things for him. She does all of these things of her own free will. Katara also hates that Toph views her as motherly. The only time Katara even speaks on this is when she is arguing with Sokka and Toph. Guess who isnât a part of this in regards to viewing Katara as motherly? Aang. He doesnât speak on any of this and the episode doesnât focus on his and Kataraâs relationship because they donât treat one another the way Katara treats Toph and Sokka. The only time Katara ever acts âmotherlyâ toward Aang is in that very episode, and itâs played for laughs⌠because she isnât his mom lol
Also, the EIP episode wasnât âinsaneâ đ and it definitely wasnât proof that Katara didnât love Aang. If anything, sheâs verbally affirming she does love him romantically. She just set a boundary, because she was afraid he might die and she would be unable to revive him like she had in the book 2 finale. Itâs really not that difficult to understandâŚ
Also.. if Aang getting broken out of the ice is a metaphor for âŚ. ChildbirthâŚ. Then did Katara birth Appa too ? đđ help itâs sending me

I talked about this on my Pinterest account but I'll say it here. Calling Aang a "simp" is a gross misunderstanding of his and Katara's characters. "Simp" implies that he doesn't truly love her. Aang aggressively loves Katara. He gave up the avatar state for her ffs, chalking that beautiful declaration of love down to "simping" makes me sick.

AANG ďź OZAI PARALLELS: DEBUNKED
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because apparently the true villain is the sole survivor of a genocide of his entire nation, and not the imperialist colonizer.
Where do I even begin?? Because Iâm genuinely holding in laughter writing this, itâs absolutely insane how certain people can make such egregious parallels that arenât even found in the first place.Â
AH, so a little backstory on how this fucking shit stained idea even came to existence, well our dear z^tara fans pissed their pants over Zuko and Katara not tying the knot, so, as a way of retribution for their supposed âhonourâ They take any chance to jump on the Aang hate train and make him into some irredeemable abusive demon, aaand they got that perfect opportunity because the LoK decided to take a lick out of the great âMain Characters Must Be Bad Parents In The Sequelsâ Trope. Which personally, does absolutely nothing to the protagonists resolution aside from cheap family drama but I digress.Â
Now, Iâm not behind the idea of the writers trying to make Aang a âflawedâ Parent, I think it really makes no sense by how they went about it, (I might touch on this in another post)Â
((And itâs so very clear that theyâre trying to give it a soft âretconâ And even taking extra steps saying that Kya and Bumi just âremember wrongâ Which Iâll actually take, because season two of LOK was hell on earth anyway so you might as well give it some saving grace.))Â
--------------------------------------------------------------
Thereâs three main parallels that they got from Ozai and Aang: (god help me)
Favouring a child
isolating the rest
leaving pressure On the golden child
Iâm going to debunk all three of them while trying not to fall into complete lunacy over how ridiculous they are.Â
Favouring a child + Leaving pressure:Â
OK, so people are clearly blind with context clues and media comprehension, got it. No surprise whatsoever. I canât be disappointed if I didnât even have any expectations to begin with.Â
Letâs compare the treatment on how Ozai treats Azula, and how Aang treats Tenzin. (Holy Shit)
Beginning with Ozai, well.. It doesnât take much of a rocket scientist to understand that Ozai essentially could not give two fucks about Azula, as she in essence, serves the role of an attack dog, as long as it does its job, itâs worthy.Â
Ozai favoured Azula because she was molded to match his ferocity and hunger for power, she was a prodigy bender, and was cunning and calculated, all traits that Ozai found endearing and someone worthy to be crowned the next âfire lord.â His âfavouringâ Of her didnât come out of genuine love or care, she is his tool who serves a purpose. In short, she showed more competency and more ruthlessness and callousness in comparison to Zuko. Which earned her, her place as the âGolden Child.â Â

-------
None of this is even remotely similar to how Aang treated Tenzin and his kids, aside from the fact he supposedly âfavouredâ Tenzin more, but that is such a baseline statement and has absolutely no relation with Ozai's reasons.
You have to understand that an entire FUCKING NATION IS DEAD. History, Culture, Tradition, is at the BRINK of being wiped out, Tenzin is quite literally the only Airbender that will be left after Aangs passing. Why do people devalue this concept so much?Â
âB-BUT THE AIR ACOLYTES1!!â Still have limited knowledge, airbending is so heavily tied to its spiritual roots, you LOSE your ability to AIRBEND, if you aren't inclined to your spiritual side. Which is a core part of the air nomad culture. Tenzin is... Literally the only god forsaken part left of that, so yeah. Itâs a pretty big fucking deal. Aang values his culture and teachings to such a high degree, he is literally the survivor of a genocide. His favouring of Tenzin was done out of necessity and love, not out of a need for power and a new attack dog to send orders around.Â
Tenzin will literally be the future âDirectorâ Or guide for the next avatar to learn airbending, people still forget this, and itâs hilarious. He needs to know all the moves, all the teachings because he will be the next avatar's personal guide.Â
Aang constantly reassures him, and apologizes for the pressure that may be put upon him but he always reaffirms that heâll be there to guide him and theyâll âlearn togetherâ
---------
So yeah not the same thing at all. Fuck you for being so inept at understanding the different reasons and perspectives of those situations, just for some petty ship discourse, genuinely disgusting.
Isolating the children:
OK this part, I have to say that the writers definitely messed up with aangs characterization, but I think the execution came out way differently than the intention, so I will try to look more into the intention of each decision.
Ozai isolated Zuko, mistreated him, belittled him, PHYSICALLY ABUSED HIM, but yeah totally on par with Aang actually.Â
I donât wanna touch on this part much mainly because his treatment was literally explained all throughout the show, and granted, while I understand most of these people havenât touched the show aside from reading fanfic 300000 Where Aang is revealed to us as satan himself, but perhaps, even a small peak at Ozai's parenting would reveal the laughable contrast between the two.
Zuko was a slow learner, and much more of a softie, and a âmama's boyâ To Ozaiâs heavy dislike, he was thus treated as such, he was belittled, turned down, and literally burnt alive for showing âweaknessâ He is meant to serve as a direct contrast to Azula, âThe everything he isn't.âÂ
Kya and Bumi on the other hand, donât show any actual signs of trauma aside from some petty jabs they threw at Tenzin,Â
Bumis talk with Aang at the statue was *very very* Clearly, meant to highlight his own inferiority complex that he internalized growing up. His need for proving himself to be capable of doing just as much if not more than a âbenderâ Probably happened because his two parents were both prodigy benders and him being a first born son who was a non-bender mustâve hit pretty hard for him, and Iâm so sure that katara and Aang reassured how special he is but that kind of thing doesnât really go away.
------
------
Kya: [while healing Bumi] I told you those rocks were slippery. You're lucky you didn't kill yourself.
Bumi: You done with the lecture, mom?
Kya: Oh, grow up. You haven't changed one bit since we were kids. You're still trying to prove you can do everything a bender can. Well, you can't. Deal with it.
----------------------
 That talk with Aangs statue was very much meant to unveil an internal struggle rather than a conflict he had with his father. Kya even doubles down on this, telling him âof course heâd be proud of youâ Basically spoon feeding to us, the viewers, that this is much more of internal than an external conflict that he has to overcome along the show.Â
âWhy Didnât he share his culture with them 1!!1!âÂ
He most definitely did, or tried to, but itâs clear they didnât show much interest so he didnât pester, this is shown many times throughout the show.Â
âYou know I could never keep all those gurus straight⌠There were like a million of them!
remember that long boring story about the guy who never ate?â
This is literally Kyaâs remark to Tenzin just after he tried teaching the airbender students this story, basically telling us that Aang DID try to tell them about his stories and culture, but much to their disinterest, didnât try any further.Â
And Bumi, literally could not pay attention to the story to save his life, and instead decided to fool around in his literal 60âs!! I mean Imagine what he was like when he was a kid!!Â
I could imagine their dynamic was very similar to Jinora with Meelo and Ikki, Tenzin being the only one with actual interest and care, whilst Bumi and Kya goofing off and not putting much focus onto it. WHICH IS FINE BTW!!Â
It only goes to reiterate that Tenzin was the only one who was actually giving interest and attention to the air nomad culture, and it was of Kya and Bumiâs own personal choice to not partake in it. To each their own I see.Â
âBUT WHAT ABOUT THE VACATIONSâÂ
This.. I agree, weird for the writers to decide this, but given how they low-key are retconning it in interviews, my best guess is that each of those trips were side-quests during their journey to teach an important lesson that mightâve just drowned out because Tenzin may not have remembered it as well.Â
Also keep in mind that Tenzin was put into a lot of pressure, Aang probably saw this, and as a way to still keep it enjoyable, he took him to trips that would help ease the mind for a little kid whilst also learning something valuable. That seems pretty on brand for Aang actually
And given that Kya and Bumi are literally in their fucking 60âs it wouldnât surprised me if they didnât have the greatest memory. Hell, they didnât even fault Aang as a parent until Tenzin started boasting about âtripsâ That Kya and Bumi gave petty jabs but werenât actually showing genuine hurt, just annoyance.
Kya even comments how Aang was too busy âTrying to save the world, and doing his duty that he didn't have much time for themâÂ
Phrasing as if it wasn't anything "important" But it's clear that this was Kya's own personal irritation towards Tenzin rather than an actual evaluation on Aang's duties.
A continuation comic best explains it in a deeper way:
----------
Literally showing that âneglectingâ His kids wasn't up to him, and was out of a sense of necessity, trying to cram as much knowledge onto Tenzin, the only one who was basically putting his lessons into practices. Kya and Bumi were left feeling neglected. But that wasnât out of his decision; he still loved them dearly.
-------
This. Literally highlighting how much pressure was forced upon Aang, so yes, as any person would, he struggled with making time for everybody. Holy shit who knew??Â
GASP!! IS THAT⌠A REALISTIC BUT UNDERSTANDABLE FLAW!!?? HOW DARE YOU! ITS OZAI #2Â
The fact that the smiley energetic person forgets to SMILE, is a big deal, man was put through hells amount of stress but he never cracked.
So tell me, how is a genocidal freak, who treats his golden child like a tool and abuses the other both physically and emotionally for showing âweaknessâÂ
Even remotely comparable to
 the sole survivor of a genocide, trying to withhold his teachings and culture onto literally his only child that showed actual effort in doing so, while also maintaining the balance of an entire fucking world and being literally the biggest âadvisorâ And âMentorâ For society, OH! And also building and managing a literal city, but along the way struggling to make time for his children.Â
Guess what, theyâre not. And if you think they are. You are an idiot, with bias and headcanons.
So the conclusion is, Aang is a flawed parent, but he isn't a "bad" Parent - confirmed by the literal writers.
Comparing him to Ozai a literal dictator, is absolutely sickening, just for your petty shipping discourse when this show's been over for a decade is insane. Indulge in what you enjoy, but stop projecting delusions like they're canon.
:D

I just got reminded of the craziest thing and I had to share it
but basically oomf showed me some post where a zk said sokka would brag about his brother-in-law being the firelord and i was like???
why would sokka brag about his sister marrying into the people that tried to wipe out their tribe â ď¸ got their mother k***ed? not to mention itâs canon that sokka brags about aang being the avatar.
then it slowly started to hit me: most of the zk headcanons i unfortunately come across is just things that already relate to aang in canon. even things that donât make sense when it comes to zuko.
another example is their imaginary childrenâs names: why the hell would one of their childrenâs names be bumi???? â ď¸ and even when they try to be creative, they go naming their children after zukoâs ancestors, you know, the ones that tried to have katara k***ed? like huh??
third, they always try to copy the kataango or say zuko wouldâve blown up that factory in the painted ladyâŚ. how do you say kataang sucks because aang is a horrible person and then give your ships all the kataang scenes, particularly things AANG does?? using the AVATARâs love theme for your edits?? just a bunch of leeches
next, sometimes i look for kataang fanart and iâll see something with appa or momo and think itâs kataang AND THEN ITâS ACTUALLY ZK â ď¸ why the hell is anyone drawing fanart with momo or appa that has nothing to do with aang??? much worse when you donât even like him??? make it make sense?!
lastly, i havenât actually seen this but apparently they even started giving ole boy tattoos on his chi lines?? just like aangâs???
like iâm sorry if aangâs such a horrible person, why are they so obsessed with him? where is the creativity? theyâre lowkey hijacking things that belong to aang/kataang and then when you go searching for this stuff that WACK ship comes up. itâs pathetic.
