Zutara shippers pointing out the mysogyny, the sexism, the direspect of real cultures throughout the writing of the show instead of kissing the creators's asses is not being 'disrespectful'; Zutara shippers suggesting how Zuko's and Katara's arcs were mirrored and could have been a good conclusion if they had been canon is not 'being toxic', Zutara shippers criticizing that the writing and 'development' of the official couples left much to be desired is not being 'malicious'.
You know what is disrespectful, toxic and malicious though?? - Zutara artists being harassed, quoted with toxic comments, compared with 'better' or 'more accurate' representation from other ppl's art; - writers and shippers whose own Zutara post are being screenshoted across all social platforms to mock and further their harrasment of the Zutara fandom; - WOC whose sexuality and ethnicity are being questioned and called into doubt; - making a poll for your little followers and (sexually) harass an ZK user who gasp! has the audacity of not keeping her head down and is actively replying to your insults and harassment. I could go on and on with numerous examples but thats the irony here: it could go on and on (and it will, of that i have no doubt), it wouldnt matter because it stopped being abt fictional characters a long time ago, now Zutara 'problematic' dynamics is just a piss poor excuse to bully ppl off using morality brownie points and call yourself a good little sjw behind your screen.
