Overhated - Tumblr Posts

Katara is overhated. Yes,I was annoyed when she said,"Then you didn't love her like I did." I used to hate her for it even. But,you have to keep in mind,she's a kid. A kid who was forced to grow up by the world and forced herself to. The world that they live in,considers them adults.

Katara: "I haven't done this since I was a kid!"

Aang: "But you still are a kid!"

Zuko: "You're just a child."

Aang: "And you're just a teenager?"

Plus,not only did she step up and therefore didn't process it in a healthy manner,it's implied she saw her mother's corpse.

Edit: There's also a point that @azulserszzp made,that the entire Gaang made bad decisions! For example,Zuko almost burns down an entire village. Katara is mean for ten seconds AND EVERYBODY HOLDS IT AGAINST HER.

dare I say his hate is so undeserved

I feel the need to defend Aphrodite. She gets a lot of shit and I find it to be massively unfair. She is consistently characterized as an irredeemable bitchy mean girl, when in reality she isn’t any worse than ANY of the other gods. Many of the male gods have done worse than her and they are less slandered and ridiculed than her. Keep in mind every single god was designed to have flaws to them, so that they would better reflect humanity, plus many things that are significant wrongdoings in our eyes now we’re normalized at the time. About the Hephaestus thing, I’m going to be honest… I don’t care. Gods in all mythologies have affairs all the time, Greek gods especially. Her extramarital escapades are nothing special. Plus, her marriage to Hephaestus was an arranged one that she had no choice in. It was just to get the other gods to not go after her because she was taken. I’m gonna say it… I think a lot of the Aphrodite hate is residual misogyny/internalized misogyny and everyone else just goes along with it because it’s the popular opinion.
