I Do Think One Important Piece To Add Back To OP's Post Is - Pay Attention To Nuance *in Real Life.*

I do think one important piece to add back to OP's post is - Pay attention to nuance *in real life.* Someone liking fiction that has zero nuance doesn't mean that they ascribe zero nuance to their real lives any more than people liking fictional villains makes them villains in their real lives. Sometimes people get exhausted of the gray spaces they inhabit every day in the real world with real people, and fiction is their pleasant escape from that reality for a while. A way to de-stress that harms zero real people. And this, too, is as valid as any other story preference.

Nuance is far more important as a tool for remembering the equal humanity of someone who loves the kinds of stories you hate, then it is as a tool for writing The Best Kind Of Literature.

(Though it can, of course, make for some damn good literature, too!)

90% of arguments about media could just be solved by saying “different people like different things in their stories” and leaving it at that

by decree of fire lord Zuko, first of his name, son of lady ursa, and prince Iroh, the burned, the phoenix prince, the aggressiv peaceful, bender of the colourful flames and wielder of the dual swords (if you know what i mean), master jerk-bender, the blue spirit, your friend lee with the good cup of tea, tea server during the weekend at the jasmine dragon open from 7:30 am to 7:00 pm from Monday till Sunday, ginseng 50% off and every 10th cup of tea free what a steal, daily heart attack for the kyoshi warriors, defeater of sleep, most comfortable living heater according to the avatar and his allies, best ichy spots scratcher; herby declares!

that if this post is granted 1000 notes, he permits princess Izumi first of her name, born under the south star, the peaceful, the sun drop, the sun flake, the soft wind, the gentle fire hazard, mini sparky, the living sunrise; to rise and keep lily pad frogs in the pond next to the turtledecks!

Sokka and suki are supposed to help him keep the fire nation in check. not teaching his daughter argumentation tactics and how to formulate contracts!

Sokka arguments that they are raising the future fire lord so technically "we are we are working ahead of schedule!" btw the lily pad frogs in question

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand
