RT PLEASE !!!!!!
Hi I’m writing a paper about AO3, fanfictions in general, community in fandoms etc. I’m looking to talk to people who read fanfictions, or engage in any type of fandom work (fanart, discussion on reddit,etc)
If you’re interested you can DM me !
Thanks !!!!
@mooneraze i’m not saying what choice she should have made i’m saying the writer did a poor job writing her and justifying that choice in a way that doesn’t make her just a trophy wife, but i really like Mai that’s why i’m saying this
that !!!! + i think it’s so sexist of them to have that 360, Mai deserved a real arc where she’s conflicted. Not have her change her mind bc she’s in love with zuko or whatever. It reduces her to just a love interest when she is not !!!!
@The_Blue_Rose69 That’s why it’s so strange for the writers to show Mai not being unable to comfort him, making weird jokes he doesn’t like (ordering servants, council joke, I didn’t ask for your life story, etc), and even having her call him a traitor lmao. Then, a 360. No arc dedicated to them
@lennnyyyg that’s so crazy omg. And yeah there on my ass now too i guess ? bc for some reason someone quoted me with a thread ??? do they search for the word Mai just to find tweet like that ?? bc wtf ?
@lennnyyyg that’s crazy + so what if she’s done bad thing ??? it’s misogynistic to think a women has to be perfectly good and that all her actions have to be justified for her to be a good character, it’s pisses me off so bad that women can’t have any nuance in their development
@commuknit Ye I agree like I think it’s because they had a vision of Maiko as Zuko’s past but then changed their mind last second (and consequently forgot what they had Mai say and do before that). She doesn’t have an arc unlearning anything in the show, she just does a 360 bc Zuko won lol
@zkdokies never knew "self insert" until i saw ka tweets against zks 😭😭😭 apparently i want to be a cartoon now? just bc i like a cartoon character who is deeply similar to irl me??
