Kataang shippers point out the actual misogyny and colonialism in popular Zutara shipping without saying they’re “delusional” for their ship not being canon challenge (failed)
#the problem with Zutara shippers is not that they like something that’s not canon and yall know it#and there is never an excuse to call people ableist things#that’s not what delusions are#the problem with Zutara is that the anti-Aang sentiment that often accompanies it is deeply rooted in colonialism and infantilization#and that fire lady Katara is a deeply colonial interpretation#where she is living in the palace of the people who wiped out most of her culture#all things that can be pointed out without calling the shippers DELUSIONAL#and no it doesn’t matter how much they try to insist canon supports their ship#it is not a delusion.#bad media literacy exists everywhere.#anti zutara shippers#shipping critical#atla fandom critical#avatar the last airbender#ableism
