And Homer replies...
"So, just to be absolutely clear, Helen runs off with Paris, a thousand ships are launched to get her back, an entire civilisation spends ten years slaughtering itself, Achilles dies, Ajax dies, Troy is burnt to the ground, countless young men are hacked to pieces, all because Helen wanted to get her leg over with a Trojan...
Then Odysseus, who's never even met her, spends another ten years trying to get home, loses every one of his men, gets blown from one end of the Mediterranean to the other, is imprisoned by Calypso, nearly eaten by a Cyclops, enchanted by Circe, tempted by the Sirens, chased by Poseidon, washes up naked on beaches, arrives home, his dog dies, he's missed his son grow up and has to kill a house full of blokes trying to shag his wife and you think I should, *checks notes* 'make it a bit more about Helen?'"
Toph is a girl and no one hated her
Kuvira is a girl and also a villain but no one hates her
Azula is a girl and probably more dangerous than Kuvira but no one hates her
Katara is a girl and the most powerful water bender but no one hates her
But you think people talk down on Korra because she’s a girl. lol

Not many people could destroy three different franchises in less than 10 years, but this woman managed it. Proof that you really can do anything if you put your mind to it.
