Why Naruto Fandom > Avatar Fandom

Because when a poster in [livejournal.com profile] naruto_rants  bitches about female character for no reason, 95 percent of the comments will be like, "Thigh high boots are hot, bitch, and we like our murderous healer chicks."

You pull that in Avatar fandom, and you'll have the majority going "burn that waterbending bitch for having a spine! BURN HER IN THE FACE!"

My thought upon reading this sentence: Unless your Aang. And then I got to the end of the paragraph and was like 'hee!'

Grrr... You've seen my rant about it. I can't do it again.

And what's great about Katara is that she has a REASON for being the mother-figure -it's not because she's a girl. I love "The Runaway" for two reasons: it's basically a love song to Katara and how awesome she is, and it calls Toph on her shit and issues.

I don't think Katara's always in the right with Toph, either, but especially in that episode Toph is acting like a child and Katara was totally within her right to put her foot down.

Can you give me an example of Katara being in the wrong with Toph? Because I'm usually siding with Katara during their confrontations.

I can't point to specific incidents mostly because it's been a while since I've watched some of these eps and I don't remember, but during The Chase I could see things from both of their points of view and I couldn't really decide who I though was right. I think I mostly agreed with Katara but I had a foot on either side of the fence.

During The Runaway I mostly sided with Katara but Toph had a little bit of a point when she said Katara wasn't her mother. I think Katara had every right to put her foot down with regards to the gambling, but there was a little bit of something else in how she lectured Toph that I've had happen to me with older people who are essentially my peers and it pissed me off, so I could sympathize with Toph a little.

Okay, I see where you're coming from.
