@ignitesthestars true! the beauty of zuko's character is his redemption so idk why people try to ignore what needed redeeming. also of course, most fn citizens were complaint to/were in agreement with the fn's imperialism but it's not comparable to a member of the imperial fam being any of those
@ignitesthestars came with being a descendent of fn imperialists and passively being one and in that breath, i cant with good faith water his character down to just being a propagandized prince
@ignitesthestars care to fn soldiers being using as pawns without the knowledge. he does not extend this same level of concern to civilians who might face harm or whatnot. zuko, of course, redeems himself and goes against the fn but for the longest time, he was fine with enjoying the benefits
@gabdecafe@cimarronbgtn im not going to speak over you as an indigenous person but as someone is who also actively enduring colonialism i can tell you that i find the piece WEIRD
@praiseliyah the absolute lack of awareness it takes to use a blanket as the prop for a colonization joke involving an Indigenous character is staggering
