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!"

Because Bryke worship Aang like Kishimoto worships Sasuke.

THIS IS TRUTH.

(I felt the need to say that in capslock)


Mostly I'm like "They argue. That's what they do." but I don't think it's fair to place ALL The blame on Katara.

RIGHT. I think their relationship is better for the arguing, honestly. Stuff builds up, they butt heads, they get shit out of their system, and then they have girly bonding moments. Good times.

Katara gets blamed because the fandom loves Toph and she can do no wrong and anyone who disagrees with her is picking on her, how dare they? Well, I love Toph and I love Katara, and I love both of them for their awesome moments and for the flaws that make them human, because neither of them are perfect and with Toph it's not just a physical imperfection.

Basically, I can see where both girls are coming from. So they don't need to be bashed. Calling Toph out of control, that would be justified, but calling them bitches? Out of order.

I agree with this, hardcore.

I'd much rather have Toph and Katara fighting out their differences than bitching about each other behind their backs. Because that's not them. They're the type of voices something the don't like.

Exactly. Also, if someone had a problem with you, would you rather they let it fester and they resented you for it and when it got to be too much they blew up at you for it, or would you rather they told you to your face and you had a chance to fix it before it got ugly? I know which one I prefer.

I think Toph CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF when someone disagrees with her. And Toph DOES NOT get picked on, she has people WHO JUST DISAGREE WITH HER. That is not a crime.

Oh, believe me, you're preaching to the choir here.

I think it's just because people think Toph is the epitome of awesome does everything right, but she doesn't. She twelve. Let her have her flaws, and let people call her out on them. It's how a person grows.
