Sorry I Wasnt Trying To Deflect From The Real Issue Or Anything , I Just Didnt Know If That Point Was

Sorry I wasn’t trying to deflect from the real issue or anything , I just didn’t know if that point was factual or addressed in the Roku book.

That's the thing though: it doesn't have to be adressed, because what we already know about the Fire Nation just from watching the show - hell, just from watching the introduction of every episode - already makes it quite clear which nation, and which leader(s), is the obvious bad guy that is disturbingly comfortable using violence towards vulnerable people to get what it wants.

Even if the Fire Nation was this "utopia" zutarians pretend it was, where everyone who was born there gets a great life and women are totally treated as equals to men - that doesn't erase the fact that they commited genocide against the air-nomads, that they've been conquering places all over the Earth Kingdom and killing millions of innocents, or that they commited genocide against Katara's tribe.

The Fire Nation wants well over half the world dead for the simple "crime" of not being the same race as them, and Sozin was the one to make it that way - yet Zutarians are acting like because that fucking book acknowledged "Oh yeah, and the Fire Nation also sucks if you were NOT a foreigner because it was a deeply unfair society from day one" they're being retconned to be the evil, violent and intolerant.

Every time these people throw a fit over how "the Fire Nation doesn't get enough recognition for being fair to women" (because it WASN'T), they casually ignore the fact that they commited genocide - and act like all the women and little girls that were killed somehow don't "count" as victims of the Fire Nation because they were of a different race.

As if it makes a difference to these women if they're being abused, imprisoned and killed for their race instead of their gender. As if a queer woman who saw the love of her life be killed by the Fire Nation would give a fuck that at least her lover wasn't killed for having the "wrong" sexuality, just for being born in the "wrong" nation.

As if it made a difference to Kya that a man invaded her home with the intention of kidnaping/killing her daughter because she was a waterbender but not because she was girl.

As if it would make any difference to Katara if the man that killed her mother would never think to hit or so much as raise his voice to his own mother or wife or daughter.

As if, in the middle of becoming a child soldier because she has no choice but to fight for her life, she'd think the Fire Nation is so "egalitarian" because Azula gets the "privilege" of being a child soldier too.

As if she'll think oh so highly of Zuko for hiting her so hard she lost consciousness, and he then kidnapped her best friend to either be killed or kept barely alive in a cell for decades - after all, at least he didn't refuse to fight her like Pakku did! How considerate of him!

As if all the airbender girls that were burned alive gave a fuck if the soldiers that were murdering them were all men, all women, or if it was a 50/50 split.

As if droping a nuke on a bunch of civilians is only a human rights violation if some insane ruler does it to his own country instead of someone else's.

These people are literally saying that systematic violence towards women somehow only "counts" if the woman is of the "right" race - and that's a DEEPLY racist belief that they just spew out casually and we HAVE to focus on that, not because "Hahaha, more things to mock zutarians for" but because that is a very dangerous belief to have.

(Read the full post before donating anything)

Since my job isn't paying me much and Brazil's money ain't worth a damn thing, my best friend @dragomer has finally managed to convince me to have a Ko-Fi page that he kindly set up for me.

You guys can now assure this unhinged ao3 writer/tumblr user will have enough money to always have acess to wi-fi and provide you guys with fics, metas and memes. You can give me monthly or sporadic donations of at least one dollar ($1) and it'll already be a big help for me.

Ko-fi

Support Hello-Nichya-Here on Ko-fi! ❤️. ko-fi.com/hellonichyahere

Support Hello-Nichya-Here On Ko-fi. Ko-fi lets you support the people and causes you love with small donations

IMPORTANT

If you can't donate anything at all, don't feel bad and don't panic, I'll be fine. If you're using someone else's money ask their permission first.

You will NOT get any exclusive content or see what I'm working on ahead of time if you choose to donate. All of my content, both on ao3 and tumblr, is going to remain completely free for everyone.

I am CONSIDERING doing commissions - but it's not guarateed that I will do it. If you want to commission something from me, send me a private message here on tumblr to explain what exactly it is you want and how much you're willing to pay for it before you give me any money.

I'm still doing this stuff mostly for fun and intend to only write the stuff I want/am comfortable with, and I WILL reject some ideas/set up my own deadlines (because again, I have an actual job) no matter how much money you're willing to give me. Basically don't expect me to write a fic for a pairing I don't like, or to have the fic you want ready to go in one or two days, and, more importantly:

DONATING to me is not the same as COMMISSIONING something from me so, once again, message me privately first if your intention is to try to get something specific instead of just giving me a little help because you like my nonsense.

Avatar Fandom: You’re Not Supposed to AGREE with Ozai and Sozin!

So many posts misrepresenting or even flat-out lying about Aang to make him seem like the worst person imaginable.

I am begging you to remember - THAT’S LITERALLY WHAT THE FIRE NATION DID TO THE AIR NOMADS!

Lies, misrepresentation, propaganda, and brainwashing to justify their hatred.

If you spread that kind of anti-Aang misinformation, you’re not an ATLA fan. You’re a fan of the Fire Nation in ATLA.

Which is a problem considering they’re genocidal imperialists. No matter how sympathetic their individual child soldiers (who are also victims of their nation!) or citizens may be, the nation itself is a monster.

Please stop and self reflect.

Preferring a different ship doesn’t require acting like the villains’ propaganda wing in a story about war, conquest, and genocide.

To the dum and war hungry:

Ceasefire Good. Genocide Bad.

My new "favorite" kind of post: dumbass berating people for not being neutral on the Israel and Palestine thing. Like, my guy:

1 - One side is literally commiting genocide against the other. Hamas being terrible doesn't excuse Israel attacking civilians, kicking them out of their homes, kidnapign them, bombing hospitals, making human zoos, and then saying they'll not stop until all palestinians are dead.

2 - Literally EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE POSTS also get mad at people for wanting a complete ceasefire - not even wanting to free Palestine, just "stop murdering children and violating every human right imaginable". If you can only accept unconditional support of all of Israel's bullshit, you're not "neutral", you're just using "we should all be neutral" as an excuse to bully people into shutting up because there's no argument in the whole world that justifies what the side you're supporting is doing.

Whu...?

Sam's on a bogus journey now.

how is tdp justifying ethnic cleansing?

The show tries to present itself as "both sides in the wrong" conflict, completely ignoring that the situation presented does not call for it. (One group kicks an entire race out of their home and forces them to relocate. Hmm. If only there was a historical event that mirrored that.. OH WAIT)

The show has a huge bias against the humans and refuses to acknowledged how WRONG the Elves are. All while painting the elves as misunderstood victims, and humans as encroaching colonizers (oh the irony).

The show tries to sweep away the Elves' actions by going "But dark magic is evil 👹 and lazy 😞 and if the humans didn't use it, they wouldn't have been kicked out".

The way the show frames Dark Magic is even creepier. It condemns it while also ignoring how it came to be. Its treatment gives me huge "Other Religion BAD, Christianity GOOD".

"There is only way to use magic and that's define by the people in power"

-The Elves and the Dragons define the morality of magic in the show, despite having a history of attempting to genocide another race for practicing it in a different manner and when that fails, ethnically cleansing them.

Yet the show never makes any of the characters have to reflect on this. ACTUALLY. Rayla ends up agreeing with a racist, genocidal maniac and the show never punishes her for this. Her dismissive view of humans is never challenged. Because the show doesn't disagree with her.

There's other users who have delved deeper into this issues, far better than I could. They are under the tag Tdp critical.
