#even non-zks admit that katara was forced into taking a maternal role at a young age

[azula-hates-men]

idk why kataangers are so resolute in denying that katara wasn't parentified at an early age when it was a crucial part of her character and it's pretty clear from watching the show that katara was forced to take on a maternal role from an early age. i honestly believe that their insistence that katara wasn't parentified stems from not wanting kataang to be viewed as having "mother-son" dynamic (doesn't help that bryke compared kataang to having a crush on girl who's like your older sister or babysitter).
