How We Quit The Forest
So, on
atla_unspoiled, there was a poster talking about how, typically, Zutara shippers ship Suki/Sokka, and Kataang shippers ship Toph/Sokka. (Which I think is true, based on my totally unscientific experiences). She then suggested that this was because of the shippers looking for 'viability.' (Which doesn't make sense to me.) I think it's more likely the that similarity in character interactions and relationship dynamics is what makes it more likely for a Zutara shipper to like Suki/Sokka, and for a Kataanger to like Toph/Sokka.
(And of course, there all the various permutations of who ships what as a primary ship, and I KNOW that there are people who like Suki/Sokka and Kataang, and Zutara shippers who like Toph/Sokka, to name just two.)
Your thoughts?

For some people I think it plays a part? A high proportion of Taang shippers are also Zutara fans (though maybe they ship Zutara as a secondary ship because it gets Katara out of the way?).
(Personally, ever since The Headband I've shipped Aang/On Ji.)

I agree, I do think there's a symmetry there that attracts people.
