I will never believe Zu/tara shippers when they say they hate Kata/aang because it's "heteronormative" since one of the main complaints Kata/aang gets from them is that "no 14 year old girl would wanna date a bald boy who's younger and shorter then her" or how Aang gets called a bald lesbian as an insult. Idk man I think Katara ending up with the bad boy with anger issues who is most stereotypically masculine of all the Gaang boys and who she spends most of the story hating for hurting her and her friends (who also personally betrayed her trust when she tried to help him). Idk man I think if these two got together that'd be a lot more heteronormative, especially since they only became friends an ep before the finale started. I think Katara and Aang's relationship has writing issues too (I have a lot of gripes I'm not coming at this as a shipper) but it takes a particular kind of ship brainrot to argue Zuta/ra end game would have made more sense or been a better end game with the canon we are given. And arguing it's somehow less heteronormative to make Zuko get together with Katara. I can't with this fandom.

if either of these two ships fit the definition of heteronormativity, it’s zvtara, not kataang. Aang does not fit the western male character type. He is short, shaves his head, is pacifistic, and quite feminine compared to the other male characters. He gets insulted for doing things that characters deem as “feminine”, like weaving jewelry for one.

the show doesn’t actually support this idea that femininity is bad, but characters like Sokka who have narrow viewpoints early in the story try to ridicule him. toph also makes jabs at Aang’s femininity.

Zvtara shippers argument has never been about heteronormativity. It’s always been “misogyny”. The only reason they’re adopting heteronormativity in their list of vocab words they still don’t know the definitions of is bc most of us kataang shippers on here (tumblr) are gay, bisexual, etc. And because we, as majority lgbt ppl have stated that their ship is heteronormative, they just want to flip that to use against us even when it doesn’t apply.

Kataang simply doesn’t follow a typical m/f ship in terms of writing, characters or how they interact with one another. Which is by and large why it has been so hated by these idiots. They wanna say “muhhh heteronormativity” but in the same breath ridicule Aang’s femininity, say he isn’t masculine enough for her, call him a lesbian etc to undermine the ship. Just as they say “muhhh male gaze” when most kataang shippers are actually women, because most ppl involved in shipping communities and fandoms in general are women.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I only know of a couple of male kataang shippers on here, myself being one of them. Ships and fandoms are very much and have always been a female dominated community. That’s for any fandom or any ship I’ve seen.

Their arguments are ridiculous and make no sense. It’s just like when some zvtara idiot was in my inbox harassing me for being a man and was saying that I’m an incel and that I hate women and want to rape women….. when I’m fucking GAY! Nothing they say makes sense or is canonical, so I’ve long since stopped taking anything they say seriously. It’s just free entertainment at this point.

Full offense but I don’t need a bunch of straight girls to tell me what heteronormativity means 😂

The Shrimp (die Garnele) draws Katara again, and I love her progress. It was a question in the ask about whether Katara kept the necklace Aang made for her in "The Fortuneteller".

And this necklace scene resembles a literal Northern Water Tribe proposal, actually. The fact that Katara happily accepted Aang's gift and wore it as long as she could makes the whole moment extremely sweet.

I really dislike when people argue there's canonical proof that Katara dislikes gnc people. "She made rude comments about Sokka and Toph's gender non-conformity" yeah almost like both Sokka and Toph were continuously misogynistic towards her and put down her own gender presentation and womanhood. Pointing out your misogynistic brother isn't the pinnacle of masculinity himself and teasing him about it isn't hating him for being gnc, it's saying "stop being a hypocrite and mocking femininity when you yourself are flamboyant". Same goes for Toph. She doesn't hate Toph's gender non-conformity, but she does hate when people put down her own gender expression and so she responds by being rude back. Toph deals with internalized misogyny due to her upbringing and Katara is often a target of a lot of her sexist comments. Because guess who she doesn't make fun of for being gnc? Aang. While Aang's gender non-conformity is largely just cultural differences, the way he presents himself is still objectively non-conforming in the eyes of other cultures and Katara never makes fun of him for it, not once. Almost like Aang is extremely supportive of her and doesn't look down on her gender or put down her gender expression.

I don't know why this fandom has a fascination with turning the most openly feminist character who is extremely empathetic who passionately speaks out against injustice and continuously stands up for oppressed and marginalized groups into a bigot. Even if it's just for the memes, I've seen way too many people genuinely argue there's textual proof to this headcanon/fandom joke and I don't vibe with that.
