Fandom secret 841:

122: Right, because dropping the character with the most and most realistic character development is a good idea. As for his skill at bending? And fuck you for taking a shot at his bending. It's called working for your skills, instead of getting them god-modded to you.

159: You're still waiting to find a female character that you like because you have problems with women. YOU have problems with women. Try therapy and then talk to me. Because, I'm sorry, if in a group of women with such diverse personalities as Katara, Dax, Mulan, Buffy, and Orihime you can't like even one of them? You have epic fucking problems.

*sigh* I do like Aang. I have nothing against him and my handful of issues with his arc are the fault of lazy writing, not the character himself. But you don't make a good series by obsessing over just the main character. Supporting characters, especially antiheroes, can be downright fascinating, even run away with a fandom (see: Wolverine)...

And if you must complain about Zuko, word your complaint more skillfully so it'll be less obvious you're just butthurt about people liking Zutara. >.>

Srsly. I shipped and still ship EdWin as one of my dearest OTPs, but while I may eyeroll from time to time about the difficulty of finding good doujin for them in the flood of yaoi, I deal with it by sticking to the comms I know produce good work and getting over myself. I have never once suggested Roy Mustang or (God help us) Alphonse be written out. They are good characters and what the fandom makes of them does not affect their incredible value to the plot! That's just fan-daft in the worst way. -_-

See, through most of the series Aang was just Not My Type Of Character. And then the end of the series happened, and I just HATED him.

Yep. And that way you broaden audience appeal, when there's something that just about everyone can enjoy.
