Zuko's biggest fan

I mean, wasn't that time the creators of ATLA said that girls who preferred Zutara would suffer in their relationships a little... crazy? Doesn't that imply that Mai, his semi-official partner, is with a bad guy? Did Zuko's redemption arc mean nothing?

When Zuko joins the gaang Katara constantly antagonizes him and he never tries to pick a fight with her over it.

He confronts her at the beginning of the southern raiders, presumably at the end of his rope after weeks of one-sided (and deserved imo) animosity, and for the rest of the episode is nothing but caring and respectful to her.

He goes OUT OF HIS WAY to sit next to her in ember island players (he practically hip checks Aang out of his seat lmao) and she teases him the same friendly way we’ve seen her tease other members of the gaang. They’re friends, full stop.

Even though Katara yells at him for attacking Aang for seemingly no reason at the beginning of the phoenix king, she’s also the one to invite him into the group hug.

Why would she yell at him if he gives her no reason to? The same applies in reverse.

Most of the time Katara gets angry, it's because people don't listen to her, they do things that not only get them into trouble but also involve her.

Since I'm both a Zutara shipper and a K//taang shipper, I've looked for content from both. And K//taangers take EVERY opportunity they can to give A.ang hair.

Modern Au? GIVE HIM HAIR

Genderbend? GIVE HIM HAIR

There are some exceptions, but the word itself says it all, EXCEPTIONS, it's not the norm.

Seriously, you all just have to look it up and you'll realize.

They even make edits of when he had hair in Book 3 just to say how much BETTER he looked that way. They also have this weird obsession with taking any of his scenes and drawing hair on him just to prove he's more handsome than Zuko.

This comic is quite concerning to me.

It's framed as romantic. Aangsty.

I think it's anything but that.

Aang tries to pry an answer out of Katara about their kiss before the invasion. She avoids the topic, as she has done so before. Aang’s frustration produces a dangerous lava blast. Katara has to hide behind a pillar to avoid getting singed. Its dangerous. Its reckless. But Katara immediately redirects sympathy toward his fear of him being the one harmed.

Once again, it's Katara - despite nearly getting walloped - that reassures him. That she's 'fine'; even praising him. Her fright and the recklessness of what he did are barely acknowledged.

Now it's worth noting Aang doesn't deliberately try and hurt Katara, but its absolutely a point-blank showcase of Aang losing control and endangering Katara because he cannot consider her romantic boundaries.

Does he apologise? Yes. But in the end his actions are still framed as 'valid.'

A.ang said in the series that he would never use firebending again since he burned Katara, but when she does something he doesn't like, this is his reaction?

And it's not the first time that Katara, instead of getting angry or pointing out certain behaviors he has that aren't right, feels empathy for him and tries to comfort him. Remember when he hid her father's letter? S.okka was furious and decided to turn his back on him, while Katara just showed sadness and compassion for him.

Also, going back to when he burned her hands, she never brought it up again, while S.okka knocked him to the ground and manhandled him, furious.

I once read in a comment section of a Zutara video where someone said to the creator something like "mind you, Katara had three children w Aang" and the video creator replied w "and she would have had more if she didn't give birth to an airbender"
