If I invited you into my home and you criticised my curtains you would never be invited back omg. Thats a completely rude thing to say someone unless they ask your honest opinion on the curtains. You dont give people feedback unless they ask or you're in a mentor position to them

@SamWhyte
You have some cheek talking about pedophilia and saying you'll "pray for her in church" given how often the Catholic church have covered up for child abusing priests.

@BPSocialAccount
You're the one advocating against the default. I specifically write "constructive feedback welcome" on my fic because the expected social norm is you don't give unsolicited feedback. That's the same no matter where you go or what you're doing

No one can fight to protest for the lives of Palestinians if they are living in a fascist state emboldened by a corrupted Supreme Court. If you care about Palestine you'll vote for the candidate that gives you the best chance to prioritise it.

Oh be for real right now. You may not agree with the ethics of filming it but at the end of the say their "prank" was ordering NORMAL FOOD and eating it. Mom was clearly absolutely disgusted at the idea of it. She's likely spent her entire life depriving her kids of food

Right outside your building you'll still have community parks, graffiti art, rivers, restaurants etc.

When did it become normal to put regular conversations with people on blast. Seems so toxic and self-absorbed. If a guy is boring just unmatch and move on.

Almond moms starve their children and psychologically abuse them even though they mean well. Saw a commenter say
they saw this lady and she told them not to eat ice cream because she didn't want fat daughters. Get off your moral high horse judging these girls trying to cope

@BPSocialAccount
It's not the fault of fic writers that people can't follow basic social etiquette. If they want to stay in fandom they need to learn. Just how we learn not to do this to people in real life

She's an awful actress?? Literally so stiff and wooden with none of Diana's charms. Melissa would blow her out of the water
I was 12 when they did this. The majority of the art they chose likely looked like this because it was made by little girls. Instead of being grateful those children loved the show so much it inspired them to draw, they mocked them at the biggest event of the year
Bryke the creators of Avatar showcased this forgotten ep at a panel in 08 with an audience of children & made fun of their whole shipping community who sent them in their own fanarts. To top it off they told Zutara shippers' children & all they'll never have a normal relationship
@proserpinah
@icyycaIs
If you've ever had an almond mom you'll know that dinner in a restaurant with them can be incredibly stressful and hurtful because they look disgusted like this woman does at the idea of you eating normal food. So they cope by making her seem silly so her disdain doesn't hurt
When did it become so taboo to relate to our own experiences of girlhood. It is a completely normal thing to be a teenage girl with age inappropriate crushes. It's completely normal to still relate to those feelings as an adult and want to explore them in fiction.
@a_h_reaume
My partner and I are Bi4Bi and they're non-binary but we pass for a cishet couple. The discourse is so exhausting. I'm not mad I can't bring a straight bf into queer spaces I'm mad that the community hasn't learned the danger of trying to sniff out and police who's "queer enough"
Imagine writing an episode where the entire conflict is that everyone has noticed the rival and love interest have insane romantic tension to the point the protagonist gets jealous, yells at the LI and kisses her without permission, upsetting her
And going "that'll show em"
Drives me insane that Elizabeth Welch wrote such a beautiful nuanced episode and people come away from it not understanding it at all.
Aang wasn't "right" here. He presented Katara with a binary decision, forgiveness or revenge. Katara chose closure instead!
@emluvshorror101
I'm not self-inserting into the characters and my siblings are nothing like the characters I ship. Reading about vampires doesnt mean I want someone to drink my blood irl. Read historical romance doesn't mean I want tuberculosis or war.
It's all just fiction.
@CronatheSad
No he hasn't actually done anything wrong he just vocally supports Avatar and likes Zutara. OP is mad because they ship Kataang. They're comparing Tom Felton's support of transphobic JK Rowling to Dante being really sweet to his fans and loving the show. It's shameful really
@smolsdarklightr
The backlash to that was infuriating considering they had no problem with a white woman being cast in a role that definitely hinted at being indigenous in the books but took issue with a black child playing a character that was... also black in the books.
@richardsiken
I understand that the person was violating a boundary but rape is such a soul crushing devastating thing to have happen to someone and it feels very uncomfortable to see it used in this context. Diminishes the impact of what it's meant to represent somewhat.

@hawkeyesquared7
Even if Zutara weren't the perfect pairing Kataang is do offensively bad. All women know what it's like for a male friend to constantly pester and nag you for a sexual relationship. So creepy and uncomfortable. Kissing her against her consent as the moral centre of the show 😬
"I don't enjoy K*t*ang because their last private conversation is him pressuring her into a relationship while she's visibly uncomfortable and kissing her without her consent before she resolves her feelings off screen for the finale" should not be a controversial statement
@richardsiken
The impact of 'no' being ignored is very different. To those who've been traumatised by sexual violence seeing that compared to the impact this exchange will have on you feels diminishing of what SA victims go through. You might be inadvertently punching down with this trolling

That's not what she asked, she asked if *every* man on earth could do that. One man out of hundreds of millions probably could yeah. But you could train your hardest for your entire life and never reach Jordan's skill or anywhere close.
You can feel that the harrasment has been increasing because he never used to ask people not to harrass him before.
On the otherhand ZKs best fandom like the effort we put in is so cute
@lizcourserants
I think it speaks to a really unhealthy attachment to fiction as an escape and the concept "comfort characters" almost becoming like real people to them. They don't have control over aspects of their lives so they try to give themselves an illusion of control over fiction
@oiledmywayin

It's kind of a poor joke if one of the biggest discourses of this season was that they got too much screentime, and they also happen to be the only black couple on the show.

Palestine is not a person. It is a country full of diverse people including gay and trans people. We can hate transphobes and also be against war crimes they're not in opposition with each other. JKR is a transphobe but I wouldn't condone war crimes against her or her children
@zutaraslife
People enjoy hating things these days more than they enjoy liking them. Negative reviews get more engagement and it creates disingenuous reviews like this. I gave the first episode an 8/10 and I'm a harsh critic!
This edit is the BEST!!?! FOREAL!! The parallels, shots, pacing, the choice of which audio from the show to keep—heck they even kept sound effects from the show and it all fit in so well with the vibe!! I love alexa lexie’s edits pls follow her youtube
It's not just that she was a healer in old age but they don't show her at anything important in flashbacks, the only accomplishments they list is healing and banning blood bending and she's not even at her own grand daughters master ceremony. Foul!
We talk about how much diligence the og creators put into getting details like the food right, but they couldn't resist projecting their white biases onto it. Ethnic food is disgusting and a joke to them
When the story being told includes actual natives, they tell it differently
Unpopular opinion:
I think so too, for instance
a scene that doesn’t sit right with me is when Aang visibly yuck on Katara’s favorite food, sea prunes
But in NATLA he’s seen to be curious and respectful on Katara’s cultural food. He’s a kind & wise monk, it makes sense for me

Jamie Lee Curtis played a small gag role. Stephanie Hsu was the emotional core of the film alongside Michelle and acted a challenging part brilliantly. Their performances are just not comparable. If you don't think so just watching the film then there's no point arguing it
The conversation around The Southern Raiders is so interesting to me because its like people can't break the kids show morality lessons programming. Colonised people have the right to resist violently and its morally good to do so. She thought she was taking out a general still
You don’t understand how weird it is as an Indigenous person to come onto twitter and see ppl call Zutara a Colonizer x Colonized ship.
While we’re on the topic, what is your outlook on Republic City?

@BPSocialAccount
Your profile picture is in a public space so am I allowed to comment on your hair/makeup/use of filters? Or did you not want that feedback and not ask? You're acting as though "if you don't have something nice to say don't say it" is a hard to understand rule
Part of my aversion to KA is that "messiah figure with Godlike power x normal woman" is a dynamic that makes me automatically uncomfortable.
Every episode opens with Katara saying "But I believe Aang can save the world."
That's a huge power dynamic to pull off

Doing this on fan fic is the equivalent of giving a 1 star review to the dinner your friend brought to the pot luck when you didn't even bring napkins. They are graciously sharing with you and owe you nothing. Unless they ask for your advice zip it or tell them it's great
PSA don’t do this
Fanfic is written for free and so is not being an asshole
Leaving “awful characterization, OOC, plot makes no sense” comments across dozens of authors’ fics for a ship they claim to hate
Why not leave comments on fics you like instead

@LolOverruled
Because Stephanie Hsu was nominated from the same movie and was so clearly more deserving. Its so much harder when the performance/roles are so directly comparable side by side

As with anything this popular you get a wide range of people. I personally think its so silly to be offended that someone took inspiration from your character for their own private game. I'd be flattered!
I ship zukka because it’s cute & fun to think about. Never have i believed it should have been canon, endgame, or that they have more chemistry than their canon ships (because they don’t). Z*taras & their delulu takes & mindsets are ruining the shipping experience for everyone

I have a bachelors in sociology and social policy. 100 participants would been seen as a good sample size, especially when they are part of vulnerable hard to reach groups. We also recognise the validity of qualitative data. There are also multiple studies I gave one example
Its not voyeuristic or sinister to relate to young girls in stories and explore the depth of what their girlhood might feel like. Whom among us has not had a crush on our English/History teacher. I'm not 14 anymore but I remember what it felt like. I can explore that if I want to
i gave these folks the benefit of the doubt at first but all the receipts actually prove their "innocent reviewers of color who left honest reviews and thought it would end there" narrative was a lie, like they were encouraging other ppl to rate the book lower etc

My dad was 55 when my sister was born. My sister was approached multiple times as a toddler by busybody women and they'd scare the crap out of her.
Can't imagine how frustrating and scary it is for mixed race families.
dallas on his initial reaction to landing the role of prince zuko:
"i did everything in my power to research as much as i could about zuko. i studied his life, the small details other fans may have noticed about him in the series and even his mannerisms. but one of the first
I can't imagine being 8 - 15 years old, around the same age as the characters or younger, and loving the show so much it inspires me to make and share art about it. Only for the show creators to humiliate me at SDCC. Two grown men so threatened by little girls they do this

It is what people are doing with them. They are emailing them to creators threatening to blackmail them and emailing them to sponsors to try and fuck up their income. Gibi ASMR did a video about it on twitter.

My dad taught this in Ireland when I was very young without any of the vocabulary and it stuck with me. I was complaining that being confident was seen as stuck up
"When you're forced for 100s of years to diminish yourself you internalise it and it becomes part of the culture"
Watching shows like ATLA is what inspires young girls to want to draw and maybe even animate themselves. Being the creator of a show for children is huge responsibility. Pulling shit like this could kill a young girls desire to continue art. All because they loved your show
You think LG people would have the sense not to position part of our community as dangerous predators but I guess not.
Well done for adopting the exact same rhetoric homophobes use to isolate and persecute our community. Let's do the bigots job for them.

The NATLA writers are such a breath of fresh air. So happy to see so many cool as hell women on the writing staff. I hope we all show them the love and support they deserve
A creative (who I will not retweet) posted a tweet dunking on fans who are shippers. ☹️ I strongly disagree w/ the idea that we should dictate who gets to enjoy art & how it it should be enjoyed. Personally, I feel honored if anything I write brings someone joy in ANY way. (1/5)
