dudebros have disliked this ship (& other non-canon ships) since the dawn of time, that’s nothing new. there’s also plenty of dudebros who advocate for the ship. but the people who are engaging in fandom discourse & analysis of their dislike for the ship AREN’T dudebros.
the rise of vitriol against zk has nothing to do with the rise of conservatism when you consider that 1) it was still much more popular than kataang back in 2016 during the first trump presidency and 2) a lot of the audience who vocally dislike it are queer bipoc in fandom spaces
@I_Am_Orion@AirspeedPrime if they write it off for tax, they risk jeopardizing sega’s IP bc they built a whole track and publicly marketed the characters.
@I_Am_Orion@AirspeedPrime the movie is still happening bc all the merch that’s releasing around that time. the sonic racing crosswords dlc coming in october basically confirms that it hasn’t been tax written off.
no shade how did eric nam get cast as aang when he’s never acted or voice acted before and he didn’t even do a good job? i’d understand a minor role but the LEAD?;):$:!
zuko fumbled mai and jin and they both ended up moving on from those situationships and living happier lives, yet those shippers swear katara missed out by not wanting to be victim #3 of all his emotional baggage
one look at my account and you can see that i will throw every ship under the bus for korrasami and every character for katara. i am NOT digging through your accounts for maiko of all things. you gotta take that up with the actual maiko shippers @notsoleiaa
This is what happens when your entire personality is dating because none of those skills you mentioned are specific to dating. This rlly just proves that dating doesn’t make you more mature at all. What a shame 😔
i’ve called out zuko and his boymoms plenty of times when it comes to both katara and mai. this has nothing to do with maiko and everything to do with katara and korrasami especially because bopal is gen the worst hetslop of all time
mind you the other person you tagged literally came for me because i said firelady was a trophy decorative title in canon (it is). i am NOT a maiko shooter. i only saw the screenshots of korrasami and katara from their tweet so what other conclusions am i meant to draw?
aang boymoms would be so much happier if they stuck to their little reader fics instead of self-inserting onto katara and then maybe years later i wouldn’t have to be subjected to stupid shit like “she’s so dickmatized” by these same people
if you genuinely think the poorly written hetslop that’s bopal where he betrays her to work for a fucking dictator is better than korrasami i’m just going to assume you’re man-obsessed and you hate sapphic romance
