Anyone else get pissed off when they learned water tribe retards don't teach their warriors how to heal people? Wouldn't that be one of the most important skills for them to have? And if women are so much better at it why not have them fight too? It's not as if women being physically weaker matters in a world were they can turn water in daggers and launch them at people.
Why are water tribe people so fucking stupid?

Because their culture is based on dualities, push and pull, ying and yang, masculine and feminine.

I doubt that since you’re on one of the gayest boards.

Women are better at healing? I thought it was purely a tradition and everyone had a varied amount of talent.

Yeah they also used to burn you at the stake for saying the Earth orbited around the sun and imprison you for being a Christian or Jew

remember when avatar was about world building

>because they are fucking retards
Oh I know they are stupid user, I just want to know WHY. Why is their culture so stupid? You can't even say it is because of the whole martial arts thing because Katara masters both push and pull or whatever the fuck and shes like 14 or some shit. Has the northern tribe seriously been throwing away warriors that can also heal near fatal wounds just due to plain stupidity or is there is reason why they are stupid. Is it because they live in the snow? Does snow make people stupid?
I was hoping that was the excuse. To say they are better at least gives some reason to it. Otherwise they are just throwing away super soldiers for nothing.

what are the odds that Korra is declared non-canon?

I am fine with the culture in theory man, but seriously where is the logic in not letting your warriors use healing magic? They could end the fucking war with that shit, like half their planet is fucking water and they are only in the north and south?? Fucking why? Not including the swamp men but they don't count.
Is it just that? It becomes hugely plot relevant for Katara and her learning to fight and heal is one of the only reasons the fire lord is beaten.

>Has the northern tribe seriously been throwing away warriors
Considering that the last time the FN laid siege to the NWT before the show was 75 or so years prior and they suffered a total defeat, I don't think they have to worry much about losing soldiers.

I meant in the sense of what they COULD have. They COULD have warriors that can slice men in half with one arm and heal their friend with another. Instead we just get meatheads who have to be taken back to controlled zones to be healed by women who cannot fucking defend themselves?? The fuck kind of system is that? Their culture prevents combat medics. For what fucking purpose? Who is this for?

UGH

HE WAS *THE* WORST

SIGH

LIKE, UMMM CAN YOU NOT

IT'S CALLED BEING A DECENT HUMAN BEING

why is there no dismemberment in avatar?

no mortal kombat like deaths?

No wonder Aang did'nt love his other childern as much as Tenzin. I mean a dyke hippie daughter and a buffoon non bender son. Can imgine the disappointments they were growing up.

kill yourself faggot. Pussy is amazing and gay men are mentally ill and should be killed for not wanting it.

wish there was grimdark/serious spin-off

It's a show about Asians and people of color fighting
You know, honor.

Learning to heal takes time away from learning to fight. Healing is all nice and good but you aren't going to stop an invading army by healing them to death. And Katara may have been able to master both healing and fighting but she is an MC and as such she has the writers convenience of being head and shoulders better than her peers, you can't take her abilities as the norm.
You cannot train an entire army of benders to master every aspect of their bending, it's just not feasible. Outside of basic first aid a soldier doesn't need to know how to be a doctor.

Because the show wasn't made for Azula.

The upcoming Kyoshi novel has swordfights that actually draw blood and people bleeding from wounds if that's more up your alley.

>Kyoshi
why did kyoshi live for 300 years while Aang cant

>Fire Lord Sozin: *massacres the air nomads*
>Korra: "..."
>Fire Lord Sozin: *bans gays*
>Korra: "That guy is worse than Hitler"

The idea here being that the norm is only being able to get good with one thing and so trying for both is forbidden? Again it just seems defeatist for no reason. If you have someone skilled enough why not let them try it? Sure maybe not everyone is Katara but why not have women who can defend themselves at all? And teaching men how to heal basic things like bruises seems doable?
It just seems really bull-headed coming from a tribe that is meant to flow like water. This is something I could see earthbenders being like but it always stuck out as odd for waterbenders to be like that.

>Dicks are long, hard, easy to keep clean and recognized as a symbol of power everywhere
How could a blood belching meat pocket even compete?

Earth Kingdom people live the longest I guess (Pathik, Bumi, Toph still being agile and at the top of her game while Zuko and Katara certainly look like they're feeling their age)

No one is shocked or impressed, grampa.

Was Korra always this dumb?

finally someone else on this site that actually read the excerpt

While the medic+heavy combo is considered a no-brainer, not every society is going to have the proper tactical chops and realize it for whatever reason. Even lots of current societies don't value healing abilities as much as damaging abilities.

here's the link in case anyone else is interested

It was only ever established that women couldn't learn water bending. It was probably ok, if somewhat taboo, for a man to learn healing.

>but seriously where is the logic in not letting your warriors use healing magic?
Why not also teach your white mage combat magic? You can't teach everyone everything. The specialist will always be better than the generalist.

Vaginas are warm homes that keep your dick happy and forces out your love juice (aka semen). It's no contest vaginas are the best and feel great.

>better
That's a weird way to say "less versatile".

Real world comparisons don't work so well here. Their tribe already has the tools and means to make warriors that can heal, they just don't use them.
This is true, but still stupid. Why make it taboo at all? And making a rule against women being fighters when they are always shown being the strongest with water bending is just mind numbing.
>specialist always better than the generalist
>in a show where the protag is the protag due to being the only true generalist
I get your logic here but it doesn't work so well in their world. Katara knowing both made her better 90% of the time and the one time she wasn't was because she didn't know that form of water bending, which she then learned and became even stronger.

This came out like two years ago. I'm guessing someone posted it on reddit.

.....Go on.

>The specialist will always be better than the generalist.
The specialist will be better than the generalist at the things they specialize in, but being a specialist isn't inherently better than being a generalist. Highly specialized species are at a greater risk of going extinct than generalist species.

Did they ever explicitly say the men don't learn how to heal? Maybe they do but in different ways and different classes

who gives a fuck about the avatar universe anymore anyway?

Yes.

The Avatar is a general specialist. He's not better than everyone because he has more bending options than anyone else, he's better than everyone one because his bending is just that much stronger than everyone elses. And even should his own strength fail the Avatar can then call upon the Avatar State and gain even more power and the skill of all his past lives to put it to practical use. The Avatar can choose to spend an entire life mastering one element of their bending, can specialize to the point of crippling their overall skill, and then any Avatar there afterwards can call upon that specialization when using the Avatar State. This is not something that the average soldier can accomplish.

>Was the writing in Legend of Korra always this dumb?
Fixed that for you. And yes.

In what universe is Korra smart? She is an absolute retard on every level.

They never show it nor make mention of it, the separation seems pretty clear and again, considering we are shown time and time again how much better women are at bending water it just seems pointlesley bullheaded. Not letting women fight makes no sense in their world or tribe. Not even earthbenders have that issue.
I disagree. He is certainly a stronger warrior because he can use all the elements. This is why he was able to defeat the fire lord. Mastering the elements is his goal yes but having the options allows him to be better by default. Iroh even tells Zuko this when explaining lightning bending and using different techniques for different styles. Aang naturally has that generalist mindset that Iroh had to learn over many years. The avatar state isn't like subbing in.

I wouldn't imply the avatar is an average person, just that he is better off being a generalist in their world. But really, your comparison of mages is another issue because they are not comparable. Healing is a part of waterbending, it is not specialist outside of their specialty it is a part of it. Within their style they can heal, choosing to not allow a part of their specialty to be learned for the reason "they are women" is stupid. Katara proves this by showing dozens of times how her knowing harm and heal is a good thing. And I cannot see how it would be bad for the average solider to know their version of first aid.

You don't need to spend years to learn basics, and being able to magically heal even just minor damage would be a huge advantage in most scenarios because soldiers who would need a few days to recover will only need a short rest. It's like saying that you don't have the time to commit to learning cooking when someone tells you to learn to boil eggs so you don't starve when your parents don't feed you.

It still is.
Its just that the worldbuilding is now gay and retarded, you know, like Korra.

What? Girl who spent all her younger years partying had a girlfriend? What a fucking shock.

Honestly korras fuck ups is a perfect setting for a new avatar

>considering we are shown time and time again how much better women are at bending water it just seems pointlessly bullheaded
Now wait a minute here, I know it was stated at some point that Master Paku was the best waterbender in the world. Hell, he's the waterbender guy in the opening. How does the original series show women are way better at bending water? A woman invented bloodbending, but it doesn't imply that she was able to do it only because she was female. Remember Korra doesn't count here.

No it's not because everything moves away from magical elemental kung fu.

God I want to see the next avatar frustrated by the state of the city, frustrated by the loss of culture and tradition, frustrated at being treated like a celebrity, and frustrated that the only other avatar he can call upon for advice is motherfucking Korra. It would be really cool to see him/her to run away and seek out traditional masters and sources of bending, and eventually come to a head with the Order of the White Lotus over this. They could decide the Avatar's become evil and needs to be executed so he can reincarnate into someone new that they have control over. The possibilities are limitless.

>tribe that depends on Luna for strength not leaning female
Fine don't count Korra but it goes back to my main point. Women not being taught aggressive techniques prevents them from showing off how much better on average they are. My evidence is that when we do find a woman who does know aggressive bending she is a bad motherfucker every single time. There are no weak women in the water tribe, just ones being held back. That was Katara's whole thing wasn't it?

>tfw I'm a literal dyke and this infuriates me
One of the great things about Avatar was it's willingness to acknowledge that both sides were capable of error. Wong Shi Tong loses his mind when Sokka tries to defend stealing from him because all warring humans think their aggression is justified, and he was not going to be complacent. The Fire Nation was shown to be surprisingly culturally liberal - they had women officers and women like Mai, Azula, and Ty Lee were permitted to leave home and hold authority in military positions. This was in stark contras to the sexist Water Tribe or (to a lesser extent) the Earth Kingdom. This doesn't mean that the Fire Nation isn't bad, or that they're not worse, but that there is no such thing as an "evil" nation or culture, only individual practices which must be assessed on their own merits.

And this is representative of real life as well. The British Empire justified plenty of invasions by citing things like sati. The Gulf War was justified with things like the Nayirah testament. Real or fake, atrocities turn the opposition into monsters and justify violence. Fire Nation schools likely go on and on about how brutish Water Tribe savages treat their poor, abused women.

But nah, fuck that, Bryke are two hacks who spent their earlier career shitting on teenaged girls on autistic websites, but now they need them so Korra and Asami are lesbians and you can't question it or you're a homophobe. All subtlety is thrown out the window and now Sozin is a fag basher.

You know what would have been bold? Making Sozin gay for Roku. But nah, fuck that, you can't make a homo do anything wrong I guess. Or Bryke could have spares us their Lucas-esque nonsense and not raped the original at all.

Fuck this panel infuriates me.

The trick here is that the question isn't whether women are as good as or at least approach men at waterbending - that's been shown. The question is whether the women are better than the men at waterbending on average, which is very hard to prove because there were only 2 female waterbenders shown in the original series who got the same level of training that the men did, and the one time a female waterbender did face a male waterbender, she got her ass kicked.

What about the story of Wan? Wasnt that the reason human and spirit world separated? Because of the bad mojo and shit?

Listen sweetie, maybe, just maybe, if you were a decent person, you'd appreciate Aang regurgitating modern self care platitudes as if they weren't bastardizations of Asiatic religion.

>tolkienpost
I'm sorry, what? Like did something happen in the new movie? I am legit in the dark.

>screencap
Merci beaucoup.

They separated because humanity kept getting harassed by a majority of spirits because humans need things like food, water, and shelter and also like to procreate so those numbers will move into the spaces that spirits have taken over since they can't be bothered to stick to their own dimension.

>you'd appreciate Aang regurgitating modern self care platitudes as if they weren't bastardizations of Asiatic religion.
So how would Aaron Ehasz have written what Aang told Katara in the actual episode?

Spirits and humans didn't get along for far, far earlier than Wan's time or they wouldn't have lived on lionturtles.
Spirits hating people who came into the wilds and established settlements seemed more of a combination of territory issues, aforementioned deep-seated resentment, and Vaatu rather than about how progress and tech is bad.

Sure, we cannot know what we do not know. All I am saying is the reason we don't know is because the water tribe is dumb as hell.

>This is why he was able to defeat the fire lord.
Aang had his ass handed to him until he pulled out the Avatar State. Aang used Earth, Air and Water bending but it wasn't until his eyes started glowing that he actally beat Ozai. You cannot compare what is essentially a living god to an average soldier. Aang can be a generalist because he is strong enough to be a generalist. Any normal person would take a lifetime to master just one of the bending styles to it's fullest, Aang can fall back on the experiences of his previous lives to help him along.
>Katara proves
All Katara proves is that writers convenience is convenient. Katara is stated to be a prodigy, she went from smacking her own face with a failed water whip to making tidal waves and literally controlling a persons body through their blood in less than a year.
But hey, why not teach all water benders blood bending? Why didn't the Fire Nation just teach all their foot soldiers lightning bending? Why don't all earth benders see with their bending? What about sparky-sparky boom man? Why don't all fire benders just cause explosions with their brains? Ty Lee's chi blocking seems useful. Why didn't the fire nation teach chi blocking to all their soldiers?
Normal people cannot learn everything. Outliers like the Avatar and Katara exist but they are not the norm.
Trying to teach an entire army how to be both a doctor and a warrior would be retarded and it would end in disaster.
Let me put it to you like this, every hour a water bender is using to learn how to heal is an hour they are not using to learn how to fight. Compare that to the fire bender that is using every hour to learn to fight. At the end, the water bender will have effectively only half as much combat experience as the fire bender.

Being able to heal your injuries after a fight is only useful if you survive the fight.
But seriously why weren't there more chi blockers?

>territory issues
Well thats the point, humans cant stop expanding

At some point the avatar will have to separate them again

He wouldn't say "living well" like a bunch of yoga ladies. He'd say what he said in Southern Raiders - revenge is a two headed snake, forgive and let go, etc.

Yes but that is my point, specialists are not always better than generalists. Wasn't saying more than that.
Those comparisons are shaky. Healing using water is a natural part of the waterbending style. It is not like lightning bending which uses water tribe style to fire bend or chi blocking which is not even a bending style. Waterbending as a specialty has healing built in. It is like refusing to teach someone a core part of a skill because of their sex and nothing else. Not because they can't do it but because they are a woman or a man. It is just plain dumb.

No chi blockers because that is an actual specialist skill that requires cartoon levels of agility and flexibility. Nothing to do with it being a basic style of a well known culture from a tribe that is easily thousands of years old like waterbending is.

>spoiler
The same reason why season 1 of LoK doesn't work until they bring out technology. Benders have range. You can't block someones' chi if the user doesn't let the blocker come into fist range. Earth to unbalance them. Water to surround them. Air to push them back. And fire to warm tea to scalding temperatures to toss it at them.

Things aren't the same as they were 10,000 years ago however. Republic City was shown to have adapted to the vines and thriving with them, it doesn't look like those old conflicts are relevant anymore.

It doesnt have to happen right away, it takes time

Lightning bending does not use water tribe style. It is wholey Fire Nation in origin. Re-directing lightning through your body is a trick Iroh learned from watching water benders. Very different.
If a person learned everything about water bending then they would be better than the guy who only learned to make water whip. But the common soldier isn't going to have that kinda time needed to learn all that. Beyond that, healing just isn't useful in a fight. The water tribe is retarded for not letting women learn to fight. But sending women to war would also be pretty damn retarded too. Avatar is a kids show so it's easy for them to gloss over the less savory aspects of a 100 year long war. Just imagine how bad things could get if a platoon of fire nation men captured a platoon of water tribe women.

Ah that is true! Sorry, i've been drinking a bit you are right. The women in war argument doesn't work in their world. Its a kids show isn't even the excuse. We know what happens when a fire nation man finds a water tribe woman. He kills her. Canonically there is no rape in their world. And I still assert that if a group of water tribe women knew aggressive waterbending they wouldn't have to worry about that unless they ran out of water. Which I will state again, is another reason the tribe is stupid. A planet with the near same amount of water as us should have waterbenders on every fucking coast, 100 year war or not.

>but what if a platoon of fire nation men
You mean the same Fire Nation men who work alongside with women and come from one of, if not the least, sexist culture in the Avatar world? The same Fire Nation men bound to a bizarre honor system that likel prohibits rape? The same Fire Nation that considers itself the "superior element" and probably considers racemixing disgusting?

>platoon of water tribe women
Because only women get raped in war. Gotcha.

Consider their world with an R rating. Waterbenders would wave their hands and have groups of fighters drop dead in seconds due to brain aneurysm. Waterbending is broken when you think realistically.
There is a reason the most frightening character in the show is the bloodbending witch. The concept itself is fucking horrifying.

Stalin noooooo

Remember koh he face stealer and that owl librarian, there are just some spirits that are hostile

It wouldnt be a surprise if koh stole asami or korras face

That's why blood bending is scary. And it wasn't until Korra that it became normal. In A:TLA you had to be a skilled water bender and the moon had to be full. The power creep in Korra was real. Makes me wonder why they nerfed the Avatar State. No, wait I know why. Because the Avatar State is so BS strong that it could solve any problem with brute force in one episode and they didn't want to have to write around it.

Amon would have been a better villain if he wasn't a bender

their was a reason they lost the war and had to have a literal god come and save them

I hope the netflix atla bomb, bryan and mike just cant take a hint

>bizarre honor system that likel prohibits rape
That's a funny way to say "no way to confirm that rape runs counter to fire nation honor"
For all we know on the subject rape could be seen as very honorable. Or maybe beating someone in a fight makes them honor bound to accept your sexual advances. We know that the Fire Nations has a huge emphasis on honor and maintaining that honor but not what that honor is. Honor varies from person to person.
>The Fire Nation that considers itself the "superior element" and probably considers racemixing disgusting
It's just as possible that they see race mixing through rape as the best way to bring Fire Nation greatness to the rest of the world. Fire is the superior element so it only makes sense that every women should have a Fire Nation baby.

And that reason is stupidity.

Does anyone remember that one where combustion man repeatedly engaged in anal, noticed he kept getting sicker and sicker and was eventually diagnosed with an incurable blood disease by the herbalist? Wasn’t that the reason he was so angry?

If anything, they buffed the avatar state.

But then the avatar state became a raw power boost instead of the temporary XP vault so even Little Miss Fuckup could still punch things harder-ish.

So after a cursory google search... Multiple institutes give relatively the same number. 4.5% of the U.S. population identifies as LGBT. Not just L. Not just G. Not just B or T. All combined, the population adds up to 4.5 percent.

Why the fuck are we pressing so much? Why are comics and cartoons and other media showing that fucking 1/4 people are fucking LGBT? StarVS for example. Looking at all the couples that show up, 40% of those depicted are fucking homosexual.

>don't seem political or virtue-signally at all.

If you can stop fucking your sister long enough to comprehend, it's because LBGT folk have been oppressed, marginalized, and demonized in the West for centuries, but not so in Japan, you insufferable gobshite. Gay people have been allowed to live their lives as themselves, and not forced to hide, pretending to be straight, or be bashed with baseball bats, wrapped in bobwire, doused with kerosene, and set on fire. Jaysus Aitch Christballs, it's still legal to discriminate against gays in almost 30 states in the USA, you fucking mongoloid. Of course it's going to seem political, especially to shitmartens who have never had to worry about being curbstomped or raped cos they're attracted to their own sex.

Stop being whiny entitled cunts.

If that was the case then they would have made a shitload of Jesus movies after Passion of the Christ. Instead they blacklisted Mel and seethed for years because they didn't want Christshit to make money and be successful.

Gay shit is getting pushed as hard as it is because gays happen to be heavily concentrated in media occupations and they have a huge chip on their shoulder about being gay, and even the people in media who aren't gay want to suck up to the ones who are. Their shit makes money because they have a monopoly on the technical know-how that goes into making the highest quality entertainment; they could put any agenda imaginable into their movies and tv shows and people would swallow it after much bitching because there is no alternative that comes even remotely close in terms of quality or quantity.

To be fair to Korra, this is a world where Black people don't exist and God is a white carpet thing. Maybe there are more faggots in Avatar world than in our world

>It sells. It makes money.

Holy shit you know Jack shit about Japan. My wife is an Ainu and lived in Japan for 10 years. Gays are treated much, much worse in Nihon land than even the most homophobic Western nation. You are fucking delusional. Anime is a fringe hobby there you fool and not reflective of their society.

In the azula thread there are just image dumping and shitposting

*I lived

Prove it does not. Or fucketh ofeth.
So new then.

But Aang is right.

Social circles. Across the overall population, the number of fags may be 4.5%, but they are densely, DENSELY concentrated in a few select areas and rare to the point of nonexistence elsewhere. 40% of couples in these cartoons are depicted as gay because the writers live in cities where there's a lot of LGBT people, so it seems realistic to them because 40% of the people in their social circles identify as LGBT.

>Prove it does not. Or fucketh ofeth.
Not him but the burden of proof lies with you to prove that it makes money.

Isn't that more on Aang? He was the last Airbender, he should've been knocking up every woman around instead of just one.

Great post

Nice anecdote.

Aang used up a lot of his life expectancy by being in the Avatar State for 100 years keeping himself and Appa in suspended animation in the iceberg.

There are plenty of documentaries that describe the shit state of faggots in Japan. For example, you do know that only in Tokyo and in only a certain part of the city recognizes same sex partners for emergency visitations? Oh wait you don't? Well that's because you are a delusional faggot.

No it does not. For I am the dumb son of a bitch not making money.

It makes money despite it, not because of it.

I'm making it my head canon that Fire Nation nobility were very libertine and Sozin didn't have anything against gays but made that law as a way to imprison opponents and seize their wealth .

>Because their culture is based on dualities, push and pull, ying and yang, masculine and feminine.
Literally the ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF YIN AND YANG IS NOTHING IS PURE EITHER.

Full blown AIDS is his issue, it really took a toll on his mental as well as physical health

Feed him mungo

You have an excellent head canon based on historical reality and nuance, which Bryke don't.
This actually happened in Post Revolution Cuba. Yes Che was a raging homophobe, but it's pretty obvious Fidel and others, most notably his brother Raul, really didn't hate gays beyond the fact 99% of them were in the liberal arts and criticizing them.

Alright, then draw me.

They're still marginalized and attacked based on who they are. And before you come at me, yes, there is a sizeable anti-gay sentiment in America. Look at Mike "If Guys Make You Jerk It, You Complete The Circuit" Pence.

They're so prevalent in shows and stuff because creators want to show, hey, these people exist, and that's OK. They're normal people like you and me. It's the exact same way every cartoon from the 70s through the 00s had at least one black character. To show kids that they exist and they're just normal people trying to live their lives.

She isn't "dumb", she's been sheltered as fuck during nearly her entire life life, told she the greatest thing since seal jerky, and is more important than the Pope and all his cardinals. She goes out in the world impetuously at 17, under-educated, and socially-and-emotionally-stunted. She stubbornly bangs her head into every wall she comes across, makes almost every error possible. The Avatar is supposed to come to their knowledge of what they are uch later than she did (age 4), and supposed to travel the world, gaining life-experience in addition to training. Aang was raised in a Monastic tradition, was more traveled, and level-headed at age 10 than Korra was at 17. She has decades of maturing and seasoning ahead of her.

Having shit writers doesn't help, either.

No, they aren't. They're trying to use their influence in media play the victim in order to gain political power. Why do you think nobody gives a shit about gay characters in anime? It's not being used as a corrupt political advertisement.

Another dyke here. I'm actually really disappointed they actually went through with Asami/Korra because when the show was airing everyone was just fucking joking about it. It was a funny way to deal with how fucking bad Season 2 was.

It makes reasonable sense to only let women (non-combatant medics) be the healers in an honorable warrior culture. It's a good standard that ensures healers won't be attacked, and healing itself won't be abused.

You could argue that they should have abandoned their principles in the face of a Fire Nation invasion, but it's hard to throw away military conduct practices that protected them from such degeneracy. Even changing the "no female soldiers/male healers" rule, I would still ensure that it's illegal/taboo to allow a waterbender with healing capabilities to serve as a combatant.

that is a baseless claim. try to find literally any evidence for it and you'll end up at tumblr.

the trans guys suiciding are biological males. basically your stats are deceptive in that its men in general with the highest suicide rates. It may be that men who have mental illness and cut off their cock and think "what have i done" are more likely to suicide though. similarly gay men are often abused by other gay men or led into drugs.

>Having shit writers doesn't help, either.
It's this.

Sokka and Katara were written to not have so many problems and they only knew the Southern Water tribe single community their whole life. There is no reason that Korra should have been doing half the things she was doing other than the writers are stupid and love to take the easy way out of forcing someone to an action despite what their information gathering and observations were prior to the action, and to seemingly write the ending and then write the rest of the season leading up to that ending regardless of how they get there.
They also can't balance things so Yea Forums puts the blame squarely entirely fully on Korra instead of making sure all the older cast members also get their share of blame.

>Sokka and Katara were written to not have so many problems and they only knew the Southern Water tribe single community their whole life.
Sokka and Katara also shouldered a ton of responsibility growing up and matured ahead of their time because of it.
Korra had everything catered to her in her isolated compound since she was 5.
Similarly, why does everyone insist that Korra never learns or keeps making the same mistakes? Did all of you stop watching after S2?

Stupid question here: can a work of fiction star an LGBT character and not have every aspect of it be about them being LGBT? I know, as a straight person I have privilege, so maybe I don't see how stuff featuring a straight character has every plot point revolve around their straightness. Is that really the case?

Reminder not to consider anything post Airbender canon.
Jesus this retarded diversity shit

what characters revolve around their straightness? anna from frozen? johnny bravo?

anyway, yes, make a character who just happens to be gay instead of a Gay Character(TM)

The LGBT as an org? Generally no because people want to make a profit. Indie work that is more focused on the story is capable of not having the LGBT's influence sure but what you are asking otherwise is can a gay character be gay without being gay, the answer is no.

I agree, who reads Korra shit?

Now if they are LGBT it dominates and devours the story and leaves no room for anything else. Woman focused story are suffering this too.

Alternatively, Europeans could have lost or never had bending and thus have increased technology (so if Avatar is primarily medieval - Victorian with smatterings of World War technology) would that make the """"Europeans"""" here WW2 to 1960s? Maybe later?

>"No, not retarded"
>says a bunch of retarded shit
Retard, if you watch the show, there is a plot point where Northern women are not allowed to train waterbending for combat, only healing. I'd have to rewatch but I'm pretty sure they're not even allowed to be soldiers in general. I seriously doubt this rule wouldn't also apply to torture, as if they'd get a bunch of grandmas stab you over and over with their knitting needles or some shit.
That means that as a standard, if you see a female waterbender tending to wounded or recovering their dead you should leave her alone because she isn't a threat.

If they let warriors learn healing, and you're in the middle of the fucking fight watching this tool kill your buddies and heal his own, what do you think you're going to do? You're going to prioritize killing him just as a logical goal to end the battle quicker, AND you're going to cut the head off of every enemy incapacitated soldier you find so they can't rejoin the fight later. Even if the fighting is over and the only now are warriors allowed to heal their brethren (a pretty cruel rule), battle is messy and they may still be attacked in confusion.
Meanwhile, if you see a woman healing soldiers after a fight and try to kill her, your own comrades would tear you apart to stop you.
It would signal to the enemy and your allies that you're huge dishonorable faggots that can't be trusted to exist.

You'd have to be a complete fucking moron to think that letting warriors heal would create less deaths rather than turn every skirmish into a slaughter clusterfuck. It would be a nightmare, all the soldiers would rather risk learning some fucking first-aid and letting the healers save who they can.

>healing your enemies means they aren't a threat
How ya figure?
If everyone of the enemies can do that you would prioritize all of them? Well yeah, you want them dead either way, whats your point? You're saying if they can't heal you would want the enemy less dead than if they could? How ya figure?
>Meanwhile, if you see a woman healing soldiers after a fight and try to kill her, your own comrades would tear you apart to stop you.
Evidence of this being the case in the show? From what we see no one had a problem with Kataras mom getting killed.
>first aid
That is their first aid, it is a part of their culture and way of life, literally built into their bodies.

Makes sense. You need to breed soldiers to keep the machine going.

It's true though

I can't tell if this is bad faith.
1) I've already answered this in paragraphs of detail. Also if every single one of your enemies is a healing waterbender, then you're probably fucked if you can't stop them.
2) The Southern Water Tribe allowed females to fight, and the Fire Nation has no honor. They have less reason to follow rules of conduct the North established within their culture, and that the South ignores anyway.
3) Again, there are a lot of non-benders, seriously dude they're the majority excepting Air Nomads. Ignoring first-aid because you have healers is just retarded.

I mean fuck, consider that it isn't modern war. A huge chunk of fatalities isn't going to be on the battlefield, it's going to be minor to moderate wounds getting infected and diseased. Having healers help after a fight saves a lot of lives, having healers participate in a fight is going to not only going to create more brutality to ensure enemy wounded can't rejoin the battle, it's also going to kill healers that would have otherwise been able to save more people on both sides as off-limits non-combatants.

>probably fucked if you can't stop them
So then why is it a bad thing to have them heal and harm?
>fire nation has no honor
Were did you get that impression?

The argument being that you can't have it both ways? If someone can fight they must? If someone can heal they must?

I just re-watched The Last Airbender, and there's a number of things that seem odd to me, that i never realized before. But also some things that are secretly brilliant.

But anyway, during Sozin's comet, WHO came up with the idea of teaming up Toph with Suki and Sokka, who were going to board the airships and stop them?

It would have made infinitely more sense to have Zuko team up with Toph to fight Azula (can you imagine it? it would have been epic), while Katara goes with Sokka and Suki to stop the airships

Even as a kid that irked me. My fixation with Toph and the consistency of her abilities had me asking out loud to the screen why she would be going on the airship.
What did you notice that you liked? Did the fearsome foursome joke get you good?

Yeah, that was a good one. Also, "boomer aang" gets a whole new meaning, due to the Yea Forums boomer memes.. Aang is literally the world's youngest boomer.

Another thing I liked was the episode with the theater play, where they recap everything that happened in seasons 1-3 up until then.
Normally, tv shows do these recap episodes when the writers are lazy and can't think of a good plot. But here they put a nice spin on it, by turning it into a comedy routine.

They were going on metal airships where Toph would still be able to feel the vibrations and bend the earth within the metal.

Everyone loves the theater ep, it is most peoples favorite next to the anthology episode in the second book. And yeah, Sokka's puns mostly have new meanings due to age and memes which is nice since I thought he was annoying as shit when I was younger.

“Ugh, I hate it when hot magic kung-fu lesbians make out with each other and start scissoring.”

It means it doesn't matter if they're attractive if their personalities are so horrible it makes your dick go limp just by observing their body language.

Not really. If anything Toph was one of the few who made it out of Korra well off.

I joke that Zuko and Suki are going to become a thing but at this rate that shit might fucking happen! Really what the fuck is wrong with the writers?

How so? Toph was fine in Korra.

she's miserable, i expected her to be like King Bumi

She never stopped being the cage breaker she was. How is that bad? She always wanted to be free as a bird and her life reflected that 100%. She never gave a fuck. Not once.

she's not the royal type. Living on her own doing whatever the fuck she wants is exactly like her.

she likes living in seclusion? i thought she likes having the Gaang around

How did they even get away with making Toph a character?

Did none of the directors or producers or writers speak up and say "hey, so, we have experience with this whole anime thing that we're mimicking here, and i can guarantee you that people will create hentai of Toph"

She likes whatever the fuck she likes dude, she is Toph. She does not give a fuck. Greatest earth bender to ever live.
Their constant jokes about sex in the show means they knew. The fact Toph was so r34 heavy was just natural really. Toph was going to be some lame dude bro originally but then they decided to not be stupid and made a bomb ass character instead.

yea sure but she's a grandma now. She was a lone wolf before she met the gang, now the gang kinda drifted apart she isn't the type to just go make new friends out of need of companionship.

So shes still bottling up emotions, no improvement whatsoever

Wew.

what emotions is she bottling up? If Ty Lee pops over I'm sure they'll hang out, but Toph just isn't the type to run over to the fire nation and start a convo. She's always been a stubborn type.

I feel like Firelord Ozai's plan to burn down the Earth Kingdom was a silly plot device to add a "ticking clock" element to the story.

Because they already conquered Ba Sing Se and Omashu, the two biggest cities, and they easily have the man power to subdue the rest of the kingdom. Logically, they should use Sozin's comet to wipe out the Northern Water Tribe, which still remained undefeated and didn't show any signs of getting weaker.
And furthermore, Aang straight up says that it would be best to defeat Ozai after Sozin's comet passes, because Ozai is too powerful during the comet.

But if all of this happened, there wouldn't have been an epic battle like there was.

Yea, and Toph still helps out her friends and such, she calls Korra 'twinkle toes' still and trains her. She's a distant mother but is she really bad? Both daughters are pretty successful, sure they don't get along well but being nurturing mother is more Katara's thing. Neither daughters are fuck ups, her husband situation, sure she's shit at love but I never saw Toph as a romantic type.

I like to think that on the other side of the planet you find the Dragon Prince continent.
No. They have magic.

We can tell. Shitty moms tend to be like that.

>Both daughters are pretty successful, sure they don't get along well
Thats cause shes a bad mom, by the way her parents or the Gaangs parents treat their child she could have learn a thing or two from them

Very true, she was a fuck awful mom. Which is perfectly in her character. Korra did right by being realistic to her personality.

> She always wanted to be free as a bird and her life reflected that 100%
>Living on her own doing whatever the fuck she wants
Was I the only one who saw "Tired-of-this-shit" Police Chief Toph or what? It is like you anons are talking about a version of Toph infinitely better that what Korra portrayed.

>tired of shit shit toph
You mean every second she spent in a major city? Yeah she hated rules, of course she got tired of rules even when she was the one enforcing them. That is only natural. The fact she wasn't the same character is reasonable, it had been fucking decades.

>Which is perfectly in her character
Yeah if thats from her 1st official apperance, but the Toph in Korra has tons of experience by that time. It feels like they just flanderize her stubborn personality

>flanderdize
It was a core personality trait. She despises rules and hates cages. Being stubborn about things is in her nature and we get maybe 5 or 6 brief moments where she is soft. Every other second of her character is built around the idea she is a rock, unmoving and uncaring.

>The fact she wasn't the same character is reasonable, it had been fucking decades
That is what I'm referring to. Anons are speaking as if Toph always existed in a state of "Living easy,Living free" when the comics and Korra straight up says she didn't (Metalbending teacher and Police Chief). In both Toph decided to sacrifice the wanderer lifestyle to adopt big responsibilities that cut off much of her freedom to contribute to a greater good of shorts.

>It was a core personality trait
Yes it is, but being stubborn for toph means rising above the problem not being apathetic or uncaring.

Toph resigning from her post early on her career is her not facing the problem head on which in itself is contradictory to her past and present actions

I hate Korra centered threads. They always remind me of how bad this series got.

The worst part is that prior to that scene, the S2 finale was pretty hype. The siege on the southern portal, Bumi befriending a spirit and breaking into the camp, spirits possessing the mecha tank and going haywire, Bolin/Mako vs Unalaq and then Korra vs Vaatu, all of that was good to great and would've made a satisfying season finale if it kept up.
But then the Dark Avatar shit happened and the quality nosedived right off the glaciers they were fighting on.

If the atla netflix fails, then maybe theyd consider retconning it

>retconning
user at this point I just wish they let the Avatar series rest in peace. We already made amends with everything that happened, there is no need to keep parading this poor series corpse.

>Rule against women being fighters
>Strongest with water bending

To be fair, we have a confirmed count of this actually happening with, what, a whopping two people? Katara and that Bloodbending Innkeeper. I guess you could make the case for Katara's mom, but she gets a grand total of 30 seconds of screen time.

That's as opposed to the other water tribe, where we get plenty of shots in the battle of men waterbending and women not being present for the battle. Its also worth noting that the tribe where the (three) remaining waterbending women were doing the fighting had them stuck in that position because the men and the more talented benders had been taken away by the fire nation. I see no indication that this is the standard in the water nation at all.

>Why make it taboo at all?

I'm sorry it bothers you that cultures and societies have rules, user. Establishing common rules, and enforcing them so that everyone is treated equally, is an important part of social cohesion. We see by these rules and traditions that we are all equal under the law, every day.

Except of course in societies where everyone isn't actually equal under the law. Then they just breed resentment, very much like yours. It doesn't mean they don't serve a purpose though.

sisters fight, that's not on the mom. They're not complete fuck ups though and fairy successful so she did something right

she's retired, you still expect her to live in the city at her age? Her daughter is doing her work for her

Yes it is, the sisters bicker like katara and toph. Knowing that she experienced it firsthand she should she be able to mediate and sympahise with them

user you're expecting LoK to ponder things when that is not how this series works.

Toph was the only one capable of taking out the airships and she totally fucking did despite being blind.

Katara can do that too

I remember when people were mad she was a police chief. I'm mad that she became a police chief and then fucked off to become a vagabond again for no reason. She was also a shit mom to her 2 half-sister bastard children.

Her being a police girl makes sense if you think about it. She hated rules and cages, so what better way to live above those things than be the one enforcing them?
The fact she was a terrible mother also makes sense, motherhood isn't the kind of thing you can just bullhead your way through.

So how does it work?

Korra threads make me feel as if I was on a depression support group were instead of trying to get better we just sank deeper and deeper.

Yes it does, think it over.

>She was also a shit mom to her 2 half-sister bastard children.
She didn't seem that terrible, at most somewhat negligent and even that was intentional on her part. In the end both of her daughters wound up being successful people exactly in the places they wanted to be.

>Make sequel to profit on successful IP
That's the whole Ethos of LoK.

No it doesnt, read the thread i answered it already

Clearly it doesnt because mike and bryan is going back to atla AGAIN

Link me to what you answered then.

That just proves how they intend on piggybacking on the success of TLA for the rest of their lives.

Lesbians really just ruin everything.

Earthbending animation is hard

Also mike and bryan likes to play wih our feelings

That's not in character when one of her greivances in ATLA was that her mother wasn't very supportive of her real self. Why would she do something to her children something her parents did to her?

Also, Azula would go down in an instant.

>Haha, so you want to be firelord, Zuko? *the earth starts trembling* wait, what's happening *Azula gets pulled into the ground, so that only her head peaks out*

how was she not supportive? One daughter is like the lord of the metal bending cities and the other is chief republic cities

You should see them over at MarySue. They are so mad about GOT.

>and would've made a satisfying season finale if it kept up.
I can't see any way that it would have been satisfying with all that you described. The whole season was shit.

We all are, user.

Yup.

You know better than that.

Roku said in Book 1 if Aang didn't defeat Ozai by Sozins comet he would be invincible.

Inuits do not have blue eyes or are they universally attractive. The other 3 nations are varying kinds of asians while the water tribe are a made up race.

Earth Kingdom is the biggest nation there is, Northern Water tribe is just in the north pole

The Earth Kingdom is a big place, so it could take a long-ass time to conquer even if they have the manpower. I think the idea is that the fire nation army was going to use the extra firepower to grab as much territory as they possibly could and significantly speed up the invasion to the point where it couldn't really be stopped anymore.

it's gotta satire by this point, I swear to god.

Just as irresponsible and selfish to be a fag in spore-induced apocalpyse...and you're the only cure to it.

she went too far in the other direction. she wished for more freedom when she was a kid, so when she became a mother, she let her kids fend for themselves. that's pretty common to overcorrect if you have shit parents.

cause no one here (in the west) that says they are gay is actually gay, they just do it for points. or to piss their parents off.

real gay people don't put on a show to announce to the world how gay they are. we actually have cities teeming with flamers that go out of their way to show it off. that's why genuine gay people here are so hard to find. they don't want to be associated with those kinds of faggots.

She probably can't have airbender kids anyway. It seems like everyone has only one set bending potential and if your parents have two different ones you get one or none of them and are stuck with it.

I agree completely.

According to Bryke and the leaked I.P. bible, zuko and katara teaming up for the final battle was planned from the start cause they wanted to have the contrast of red/blue fire/water working together

Yea of course they need more soldiers for their imperialist wars of conquest

I don't get this. If the air nomads were tolerant of same sex relations in the temples, why are the temples gender segregated? You're led to assume its for some ascetic monk reason but if they let you suck dick in the temple what gives?

They could conscript Earth nation people to go fight the north. Fill up whole Junks with soil and prepare to annihilate the north pole. Maybe research magma bending to set off volcanoes to really fuck up the pole. Like are the water benders weaker when the moon is covered?

Because she still has a responsibility that comes with the position, and it obviously was weighing her down. The bee haiku from Fight Club is a good example.

Yes, I am still mad about Whorra. Couldn't care less about her lesbian endgame, though.

>wearing clothing in a sauna
Philistines!

The out of nowhere lesbian endgame no less. That's what you get for kowtowing to shippers, man.

its not so much about rape, but women are necessary for making babies ie. new generations of warriors and citizens. sending your baby factories off to die in a foreign land or worse, having the enemy keep them and make their own babies is the most retarded thing any group of humans could do.

Eh, it was hinted at, but the reasonable assumption was that it was shipbaiting. There certainly wasn't enough buildup for it to be believable.

>it was hinted at
no it didnt

Read his whole post. Maybe he should have said "it was teased" which goes in line with it being shipbaiting. Like how Toph said that Katara had a thing for Haru when that would never be believable.

there were no teased about it

Sporty athletic girl turning out to like chicks is almost a meme in and of itself. Besides, she was attracted to Mako but it didn't work out. Female sexuality can be fluid.

Enforcing gender roles is retarded. Too bad every culture ever does it.

You are still making shit up no matter what.

gender doesnt' exist, only sex does. If you can't tolerate your birth body, you aren't "a gender", you are mentally ill, and carry a genetic defect that should be cleansed of the genepool because it's against the survival of the specie.

You are in denial.
