Arisu: Honestly Sucking Toes Just Isn't Fun. Unless Its Your Own Obviously  Chishiya: Not In Normal

In 1400s a dog dueled who he suspected to be the murderer of his owner

i dont need makoto naegi to be happy or a headmaster or even sad i need him to be an unemployed bum who cant hold a job not for a lack of trying or competency but because he is a terrible luck magnet and can thus only work as either a sugar baby (togami gives him a low risk inconsequential desk job but Grossly overpays) or a freelance detective assistant (kirigiri loves that he is like cocaine to criminals)

The removal of the sexism pisses me off not because it just affects Sokkas character but because it has ruined almost every woman in the show.

Suki takes off her make up often, as if it isn't a large part of her cultural identity and personality, as if her being a kyoshi warior and her destinctly femenine clothes are something to be ashamed off or that hinders her. Because its only her that gets this treat amongst the warriors, and shes the only main kyoshi warrior for the audience.

Yue's entire character is removed. It is replaced with what I think is meant to be a sympathetic princess to the people, she joins the nans in the kitchens and make deserts for the children. Like a disney princess whose quirky and silly and held back only by her title of a princess. Gone is the battle between her desire to help and her duty to be a water tribe ideal woman. Gone is her realising that the best way to help her people is to not be an ideal woman, but to take action and to do what no one else can, to become one with the moon so that she can forever help not just her tribe but the entire world. It is depressing, it is deep, it isn't fair to her but when has the world ever been fair?

Katara aswell. Her bending is forever unlocked by men (Aang and Jet), her defiance of authority is lessened and her naievety is also changed. A lot of her motherhood role is also completlty gone since they have changed Sokkas sexism into elder brother smothering. Her fight with Paku holds a lot less significance since she has no RAGE behind her. No rage that has built for YEARS as time and time again people have said no to her face for being a woman, for being weak, for not being enough simply because of who she is. that doesn't exist for her anymore because the water tribes are just...nice. We see one bad person in the water tribe and its Hadoka and he's mean to sokka! Kataras rage comes from Paku saying no to her, and whilst thats swell, it changes her entire "I'm a master now" moment into just...lame girlbossery. Thats kinda how the entire last 2 episodes felt like for her character. A common girlboss character without the emotional depth to make it femenism.

I think my main issue is that both shows set themselves up as being femenist by nature. The og show wanted to tackle issues with sexism, using book 1 as its main demonstration with it, but the theme still follows throughout the narative. netflix's show outright said they were removing the sexist elements. When you place youself onto that pedastal, any sexist writing you have becomes emphasised.

The og show undoubtably has sexist moments! Irohs comments to June are the most obvious to me, a long with a couple comments from Zuko later on. You can certainly argue that the extreme lack of GOOD mother figures is an issue (Kat and Sokkas mother is dead, Zukos is 'dead', and Toph is awful and rather quite compared to her father). Theres other examples, although currently my brain cannot think of any since I don't often write indepth critisms.

The live actions main point of sexism is its female main characters. we literally meet Yue in the kitchen! Women can be in kitchens but that is certainly a choice! Theres this strange hatred for make up aswell, yes with Suki but also with Sokka. His war paint is removed. Its like saying make up cannot be worn by strong fighters which is rather sexist. Speaking off: not putting Sokka in the kyoshi outfit is just...dumb? If you want to show him learning the style, having him wear the outfit. Its an aspect of the style and philosophy. A man wearing make up and a skirt doesn't emasculate him yet the show makes it feel that way with the refusal to do it. "Oh but then you'd have Sokka and Suki kiss in the kyoshi outfits" who cares. "it will look like lesbians" it won't. Even if it did, who cares? you can't be 'femenist' and anti-lesbian. Putting Sokka in the Kyoshi outfit, having him respect it, is just as important as having Aang learn the other elements, or Iroh creating lightning redirection. Why? because it shows a respect of culture, and how you can blend that into your own way of thinking. It's cultural extchanged based on respect.

When you name yourself femenist, yet have explicitly sexist writing, your GOING to get dogpiled with critism based on that 'femenist' msg.

Karube: my mum? Arisu: ew no I was gonna say my math homework  Chishya : you just like seeing people in bikinis at the beach Kunia: no I like pretty people in ball gowns we’ve discussed this Arisu: listen I don't wanna be her I wanna be in her- on her- on- in....Listen I don't wanna be her I wanna be under her Hatter: I want to sniff gods crusty underpants Kuina to Chishya : No, no ,no. you cant put hentai on your godforsaken media presentation about how modern media is rotting the younger generations brains Karube: do your tits have milk? wait wait wait no not like that I swear I just wanted to make boob cheese I swear 

here's some more characters as quotes I've taken from a discord server I'm in cuss i enjoyed going back through our quotes channel and only got like 2 months in :) . Mostly said by me and wildly ooc Aguni: in my defence I'm a gay dad who wants to fuck other gay dads Chishiya: her toes make me wanna choke Kuina: like...on them? Chishiya: fucking obviously not their disgusting have mould on them Kuina: some people are into that  Niragi: I am Niragi holding a doll by its neck: good kid, nice quality, looks like the perfect football substitute  Chishiya: my girl got tiddies the size of mellons and a brain the size of a pea Kuina: jiggle jiggle  Arisu: OEE. OWW. THAT. FUCKING. HURTS. YOU CUNT. I LOVE IT. BUT OWWW. YOU BITCH. I LOVEI T. BARK BARK. FUDISFH. UGHHHH Usagi: I just??? posted a selfie  Arisu: without meeeeeeeeeee Hatter pressing his his hand on someone's heck: awww, cant breath? are your little lungs struggling to pull in air? your all withering and shaking. wanna know how I can tell your suffering? leans down its cuss I'm an empath ann: I hope you fall on your face and choke so up so much blood Edward fucking Collens finds you Arisu: should I give her boobs?

blah blah blah greek mythology blah blah when we imply Grian is the sun we indirectly imply that Scar is icarus in 3rd life. "oh but Sirius that makes no sense" hush now. it does.

Kuina is probably very pro-turtles and I feel like to piss her off Last boss will ONLY use plastic straws. And I mean only. drinking dr pepper? straw. drinking water? straw drinking black coffee? straw eating soup? straw spaghetti? straw  this man has most definitely eaten an entire 3 course meal with a plastic straw to spite Kuina and she just couldn't react other than crying because wtf is this dumbass doing

I haven't slept in like 2 days not the point I have the fantastic idea that Kuina would play a sort of cupid at the beach. She’d pair up couples left and right and centre. the catch? she pairs up the worst possibly star signs imaginable because if they fail she 1) gets good drama ( it isn't like TV is available) and 2) can ‘prove’ to chishiya that star signs are real

Incorrect Quote

Kuina: Everytime I hear someone talking about updog, I’m torn between not wanting to fall for it and wanting to help them complete their joke. Chishiya: Okay, but what is updog? Last Boss: Updog is a long sausage in a bun, often served with ketchup, mustard, onions, and/or relish. Arisu: Not, that’s a hot dog. An updog is when a new version or patch of an application is released. Niragi: No, that's an update. You’re thinking of the fourth largest city in Sweden. Usagi: Surely, that’s Uppsala, where’s updog is the giant spider in Harry Potter. Kuina: That’s Aragog. Updog is a symbol conventionally used for an arbitrarily small number in analysis proofs. Arisu: You’re thinking of epsilon. Updog is an upward-moving air current. Last Boss: No, that’s an updraft. An updog is the modern version of a henway. Chishiya: What’s a henway?? Kuina: Oh, about five pounds.

Avatar where everything is the same except zuko has a glass eye.

I say everything’s the same, it wouldn’t be. Specifically during the water tribe arcs and potentially the desert he’d struggle cuss I assume having a glass eye is dangerous in terms of hypothermia. Like an eye getting to dry or to teary must be dangerous. Plus artificial eyes need to be cleaned and that must be a bit hard in the desert what with all the sand……. This is a fantastic idea for a cannon divergence zuko joins the gang during season 1 fic oh god.
