"Katara is Aang's trophy wife"
"Katara is Aang's incubator"
"Katara and Aang are never equals!"
"Only Zuko cared for Katara"
"Katara is forced to deal with everyone's, ESPECIALLY aangs, emotional turmoils"
"Katara is the gaang mother"
"Aang is abusive/misogynist"
"Kataang is forced"
"Katara had to deal with Aangโs problems but Zuko came along who could deal with his own and saved her"
Zutaras are basically the same dumb bitches telling each other "EXACTLYYYY"
Excellent speech and facts.
I think the reason I'm a bit iffy about most zutara shippers who call themesleves "pro Katara" (and lets be honest the tags pro katara/katara deserved better are mainly people building themselves a moral highground of "if you disagree with me, you clearly dilslike Katara and want her to suffer") is just the hypocrisy of it all.
Katara's consent was violated by Aang, yes. But Zuko threatening her and being a fucking creep in the "I'll save you from the pirates" scene was sexy and not at all the nightmare of any sane woman.
Katara's role as a healer is treated as her acting subservient and her loosing her feminist icon status. Unless she's healing/offering to heal Zuko.
Aang is immature and childish. But we will handily ignore Zuko, a whole ass 16 year old who's heir to a country throwing a temper tantrum because his girlfriend dared to speak to another man. [Frankly, in my opinion, Zuko isn't really ready for a serious romantic relationship, but yall arent ready for that conversation]
Aang is supposedly misogynistic, but Zuko's many instances of actual misogyny are swept under the rug. Aang is shown in canon to be incredibly supportive of Katara defying the patriarchy.
Supposedly Aang makes Katara do all the housework. Despite there being evidence to the contrary. Zuko has just recently learnt to brew tea.
Katara being the Avatar's wife is supposedly degrading. But if she were Zuko's wife, I'm sure she wouldn't be just a baby maker. (What a horribke thing to call a woman btw. Tall call your own mothers baby makers too???) Despite the fact that Izumi's mother hasn't even been mentioned by name in tlok. But yeah. She'd be afforded the respect she deserves I'm certain.
Aang is, on most accounts, supportive and respectful of Katara's opinions, even when he disagrees with them. Zuko openly mocks people who oppose him. I am going to make a longer post on the Southern Raiders episodes and how all of you watched that episode blindfolded or smth.
Aang comparing Appa being kidnapped (his last connection to his genocided people, the last vestige of his happy past) to Katara's anger over her mother is bad. But Zuko comparing mommy leaving his ass to Katara's mother getting brutally slaughtered in front of her ? Silence.
Aang supposedly needs Katara to mother him and that's a bad thing. But Azula, Mai and Ty Lee having to gentle parent Zuko almost everytime they interact is never talked about, despite the uncalled for verbal abuse that trio goes through from him.
Aang and Katara's 2 year age gap is creepy. But Zuko and Katara's 2 year age gap is fine. My bigest gripe with Zutara lovers is them completely erasing Katara's childishness and immaturity, in order for her and Zuko to have this mature, sexy relationship. She's 14, guys. 14.
This post really isn't meant to decry Zutara. I just want people who ship Zutara to get off their high horse of feminism and to accept that they're no better than the rest of us ship loving freaks. Wanting the main girl to bump uglies with the broody emo twink doesn't make you a modern day suffragette. Disliking a main canon pairing isn't a measure of your love for a female character.
Grow up.
Enjoy your ship like a normal person.
Sheโs such a sweet pie I love her very much than I do with Mai๐๐๐๐๐

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF ELIZABETH AFTON HATE!!! MY GREGORY DEFENSE POST WENT WELL SO I AM LIVING UP TO THE TITLE OF ELIZABETH AFTON DEFENDER AND CEO
first of all. letโs start with what her home life is like. she was abused. period. โoh but wage was williams favouriteโ shut the fuck up. she could not control that. if sheโs the favourite, thatโs not her fucking fault. she was abused and if weโre going the neglected route all she wanted was her father to love her. because he should love her and treat her with affection because heโs her FUCKING FATHER.
second of all. ITS NOT HER FAULT SHE GOT KILLED YOU DUMB FUCKS. SHE DIDNT KNOW. SHE JUST WANTED TO SEE THE ROBOT. SHE WANTED TO MEET HER. AND SHE GOT KILLED. END OF STORY THATS NOT HER FAULT.
third of all SHE DIDNT KNOW IT WAS MICHAEL. THAT IS A MAJOR PLOT POINT IN SISTER LOCATION. SHE MANIPULATES AND SCOOPS HIS ASS THINKING HES WILLIAM. SHE LITERALLY BRINGS HIM BACK TO LIFE AND SHE DIDNT KNOW ANY BETTER. Itโs like Charlie stuffing the MCI. Elizabeth felt guilt over that she felt guilty she wanted to leave she felt guilt so she BEOUGHT HIM BACK TO LIFE SHE DIDNT KNOW IT WOULDVE BEEN BETTER TO LEAVE HIM TO DIE.
last and not least, โsheโs a psychopathโ sheโs a scared little girl. yeah. SHES A LITTLE GIRL. SHE WANTED TO BE LOVED SHE WANTED WILLIAM TO BE PROUD OF HER SHE DESRVED TO BE LOVED SHE DIDNT DESERVE ANY OF THE HELL SHE WENT THROUGH. SHE DOESNT DESERVE TO SUFFER. SHE WAS TRYING TO MAKE HER DAD LOVE HER AGAIN. SHE DID BAD THINGS BUT OF COURSE SHES MENTALLY UNWELL SHE IS AN ABUSED CHILD A CHILD WHO WAS STUCK IN A BUNKER WITH A BUNCH IF PSYCHO CLOWNS AIS AND THEN SHE ACCIDENTALLY KILLED HER BROTHER AND THEN SHE WAS ABANDONED IN THE SEWERS AND THEN WHEN SHE MET HER DAD AGAIN HE DIDNT GIVE A FUCK SBOUT HER OF COURSE SHES MENTALLY UNWELL.
anyways. reblogs are appreciated spread the word Elizabeth Afton is awesome and if you hate her you stink
They way certain people here want Katara to be a woman with no agency over her life and marriage, miserable, unhappy, abused and used as an incubator by the evil monk Aang....so sad.
She's a hero, powerful, the master of water bending, in love and happy :) And sheโs loved and respected by Aang
If she was unhappy with Aang, she would have dropped his ass in 0.5 seconds. Yes the real Katara can do that, unlike your cinderella self insert
You all reducing one of the strongest, most interesting, and dynamically written characters in the show to misogynistic tropes and theories just because you don't like the boy she ended up with. You are literally making up things to be mad about. This is hilarious
Well you can stay mad forever lol
She deserves better Iโm getting sick of morons saying she donโt deserve development ๐๐
