Bryan Konietzko has been on the record saying that he self-inserts as Zuko and calls Aang hot. Zuko in the movie finds an airbender very attractive. Coincidence? I think not. Zukaang is real.
Can NOT believe you beat me to saying this. Whoever you are, thank you.

I can understand not caring for Kataang or any ships in action shows in general but the Way “Anti Brykes” go go about it is so funny” 💀
Like imagine if you did the same talking points about Full Metal Alchemist or some shit sksskskk
“Arakawa clearly made Edward Elric tall and hot to force EdWin down our throats. She is jealous of her other OC Alphonse and uses Edward as her Aryan Gary Stu self insert that attracts his emotional labor Medic Friend”
(basically his sister/replacement mother and literally incest)

My two cents in the whole ka vs zk debate is that I would've rather had no canon ships w/ Katara. (A barely disguised anti bryke and pro Katara mini rant/essay)
The problem here is there is an issue with the way bryke tends to write romance but you, like most people in the anti bryke tag, are either not smart enough to delineate it or too parasocial with them to make any legitimate arguments.

Zutara shippers are apparently saying that Bryke made Aang hot in the new movie just cause they wanted people to ship Kataang
ZS, the world doesn't revolve around you, Bryke have their own lives.

Aaron Ehasz watching the fandom criticize Bryke and never him:

In the wake of Bryan and Mike doing interviews that will unfortunately be picked apart by the dumbest people you’ve ever seen, I wanted to say this:
It’s insane how we as a fandom do not trust the writers and creators of the original show to create anything beyond it, yet we DO trust things like NATLA and poorly-written fanfiction to do it instead.
Fanfiction, bad adaptations, etc. would not exist if it weren’t for the quality and lasting importance of the original series. And yet here we are saying horrendously OOC and flaccid interpretations of it are more high quality somehow because they better fit into tired tropes and predictable story beats we see in everything else. Anything in the subsequent comics, movies, shows, etc. is a “mistake” and “bad writing.” And it all comes back to Bryan and Mike, and not the dozens of other creatives that had quite a bit of a say in the original show and everything else.
There are three really important things I think the fandom needs to understand:
1 - The quality of the original ATLA and the continued franchise is because of the team of people that worked on it. Things that you both like and do not like were created by both Bryke and not by Bryke.
2 - Bryan and Mike did not hire these people to tell them “no” all the time. These people didn’t “get their ideas through despite the tyranny of the creators.” Showrunners get these people to collaborate with them and be extra opinions on hand that they can trust. That’s why many of them have stuck around in the franchise for so long.
3 - Despite both of these prior points, everything that involves Bryan and Mike’s direct input has been the most high quality releases in the franchise (i.e. not just being credited for creating the original story or exclusively as producers).
The hatred towards these two to the point of implying (or explicitly stating) fanfiction and NATLA’s superiority over them is nonsense. Your limited scope of media and childish inability to consume stories that don’t exactly follow your headcanon is clouding your judgment. Really take a look at how many “bad things” Bryan and Mike have done, and then look at what they’ve actually said and done. It’s almost like you’re writing a fanfiction about them and then subscribing to that being true as well.
Katara is canonically ableist btw confirmed by the creators
I need a comp of these instances or bryke commenting on it bc I can't remember a single thing besides the "the stars sure look beautiful tonight, too bad you can't see them Toph!" comment (which WAS pretty fucking ableist of her. But like, that's only instance I can recall rn)

The issue with NATLA is that there's no point in doing a remake of an already well-told story unless you want to significantly change it and tell something new. Bryke wanting to make massive changes makes sense.
