“LOK Just Reduced Katara To A Healer” Is Such A Tired Take Because It Simply Doesn’t, The Fans

“LOK just reduced Katara to a healer” is such a tired take because it simply doesn’t, the fans do.

Katara is 80+ years old, she’s not going to be the frontlines of every battle anymore, and the fact she still uses her healing abilities to help those in need is nothing to scoff at because “well that’s what girl waterbenders are expected to do!”

Which yes, Master Pakku does make sexist comments about how the ‘healing huts are where women belong’, but that doesn’t mean no women is allowed to pursue healing in the name of feminism, it’s about choice. Katara didn’t chose to learn healing back then, but chose to in LOK.

And furthermore, I feel like this plays into how people buy too much into “show don’t tell” where if it happens off scene it ‘doesnt count’ which takes away from all her accomplishments that aren’t explicitly “i just took down 50 bad guys single-handedly”.

Like it’s stated, in the show, that Katara made bloodbending illegal, which at the very least implies some that she held some political power.

I just think it’s silly how people take one episode of Katara, as a teenager who’s actively fighting a war, saying she doesn’t want to be a healer, because of said war, when she’s being pushed into that role by a man and think it applies to 80 year old Katara who’s doing that role of her own volition

I feel like this should probably be considered.

(this being like. the actual writer of Ashes of the Academy.) Absolutely you can criticize Bryke and their handling of Azula's arc in ATLA all you want, but the parasocial "the writers have it out for us specifically" is a little bit over the top.

While I still understand the frustration with Azula's (lack of) arc and handling, I think that acting like everything is shade thrown against us and harassing the writer over something like this is not fair. The ATLA fandom has really been treating the writers (especially the smaller ones, because they are more reachable than Bryke) like shit lately, and it sounds kind of similar to the author of Penquan Island getting harassed because she didn't center Korrasami. I think it is important to consider the perspective of the different characters the writer is, well, writing, and stop acting like that makes someone irredeemable.

I know ppl are hoping that the upcoming comic is a maiko reunion but considering it's mai focused I hope she get a new female friend or rival or something. And I hope it's not just kiyi

I love how The Search had the dumb plot line of "omg what if Ozai isn't actually Zuko's father?!" and actually has Zuko doubting it for a while, when he is literally the spitting image of Ozai.

The writers deliberately created Zuko to make him look like Ozai, who is pretty much the adult version of Zuko without a scar, and who Zuko could have turned out to be just like if things went differently for him.
