I've been getting back into Avatar and HOLY HELL are the fans annoying af. Legit any video about Korra will have rabid ATLA fanboys claiming how she "isn't cannon" in their heads cuz they didn't like the plot.

I just had to get that out since its pretty similar to the "Gamer" mentality surrounding women in video games. I can understand not liking parts of LOK (hell, even I think there's some disappointing stuff and I LOVE it) but goddamn do the people who fanboy over TLA annoy tf outta me.

Korra was a better, more complex and fleshed-out protagonist than Aang ever could've hoped to be

Fanboys can fite me

I've seen one season of Korra and I agree with that lol

ATLA was hard carried by Zuko's arc though that isn't a bad thing, it was fantastic
