No white characters
Lots of strong female characters
Blind 12 year old girl is one of the strongest fighters in the world
Vegetarian main character
Several feminist plotlines
Several "save the environment" pltolines
Killing is le bad message
Interesting how this gets a pass when it's unironically more woke than some of the stuff you complain about on this board. It's even more woke than Korra.
You were doing fine until the end
Korra is more woke but you're right about everything else
it's literally a kid's show
protecting the environment and discouraging violent solutions are inherently woke, you retard
Its funny how chuds will give something woke a pass if its already well liked and popular and also made before 2015 ("they didn't actually mean to make it woke, its all about the intention!")
>No white characters
Lots of strong female characters
well written characters were never a problem.
>Blind 12 year old girl is one of the strongest fighters in the world
bending is magic
>Vegetarian main character
he is a monk, not a modern hippie
>Several feminist plotlines
no fourth-wave feminism is present in the show.
>Several "save the environment" pltolines
not in a "west bad, industry bad" kind of way.
>Killing is le bad message
not in the show.
It really isn't. You've got Korra losing all the time and a last minute hand holding scene barely counts as woke.
I hate modern woke shit because it feels like it was written by Twitter and not by writers. ATLA doesn't feel this way at all.
industry bad
The Painted Lady says hello.
white people's dragon ball
not in the show
Did you not watch the finale?
"west bad, industry bad"
the show has several moments where the heavily industrialised fire nation ends up destroying the environment
also guess which nation is in the west?
Safe anime
if the message you got from the ending was "killing is le bad" then you have an actual sub 100 iq
The past avatars are all presented as good guys and they're all in favor of killing. The finale is about Aang finding a solution while staying true to his personal principles.
Interesting how this gets a pass when it's unironically more woke than some of the stuff you complain about on this board. It's even more woke than Korra.
Fire Nation, Aang, and Toph are all white phenotype even if their respective background culture are clearly Asian rooted.
Even if we ignore that literally nobody gets upset when races align with culture. For example, nobody is watching Shogun and going "WHERE DA WHITES AND BLACKS" similarly if a movie is set in Africa, we expect the majority to be black. Woke is when races are swapped or unnatural character ethnicity/race is forced in to creative fake diversity.
Yeah and I remember the past avatars telling Aang that he would be justified in killing someone like as evil as ozai.
Aang's personal principles include "killing is bad."
Its because of when it came out. That's always the answer. Most of the people who complain about this shit were either children at the time or it was before all this "culture war" shit when people started to pretend like this shit mattered. People only complain about this shit when it feels like its made to serve an agenda, as long as it's not too pushing its fine. Korra's entire character in the beginning was about shoving it in everyone's face that she's the avatar so of course people felt like there was a certain agenda being pushed.
No white characters
Yes they had teenage asian sex kittens instead of obese mutt abominations
I don't like the fact that the villains were Imperial Japan-Coded.
Imperial Japan had strong honorable virtues

If you watch it in bad faith like you do everything else it does. Azula is literally a mary sue until the final episode through these lenses. Katara and Toph even more so.
Yes, and they're presented as absolute. Other good guys say kill. Therefore, the message is not "killing is bad".
Aang was a Christ-like figure in many ways, and the show's messages were inherently Christian. The whole point is to cast aside the old ways of thinking and act with mercy, love, and grace.
No white characters
It's an original IP, not some raceswapped classic filled with obvious references to modern pooolitics
*they're not presented as
see
It's even more woke than Korra.
Lol Korra was the inspiration for Rey, except Rey is not bisexual (yet)
Azula is literally a mary sue
Part of the definition of mary sue is "liked by everyone" so no she is not, and that's not even talking about her character flaws (protip psychopathy is a character flaw).
No white characters
I dont see any gook eyes
Theres zero asian characters, just white people with raidan hats
Asians aren't as ugly as other enthnicities than are pushed for woke shit, and have actually interesting cultures.
Everyone knows China and Japan, the native tribes like the inuyts, Tibet, SEA etc
its a kids show based in fantasy asia
imagine liking this shit while lookin down on japs
gaijins have no shame
The "you're just being biased when watching nuslop" cope.
No nigger, kys. It is measurably worse.
You’re forgetting the fact that Aang was ready to kill Ozai and would’ve done it if not for that random fucking turtle to give some last minute power that was only created because this was a Nickelodeon program so they couldn’t have Aang literally execute Ozai.
I would argue that all of the characters are white. Even Katara because she is cute and has blue eyes.
You're forgetting the heavy Christian symbolism and themes present throughout the entire series.
The coolest side characters in the show by a long mile as well.
japs
It doesn't take place in a white, western country, you fucking retard.
Other than that, the show was primarily watched by children and left-wing manchildren, who wouldn't complain about stuff like that to begin with.
It's still utter trash, though the nostalgia-ridden faggots who grew up with it will obviously refuse to accept that.
Reminder that Korra managed to DESTROY THE WORLD
It's literally just worse naruto, and naruto is absolute fucking dogshit to begin with.
old good, new bad
Well you posted one true thing in your post.
It seems more Bhuddist to me TBQH
Vegetarian main character
Aang is a pacifist pussy also
not a pacifist, he just doesn't want to intentionally murder people
Or should I say safe “anime”
Everyone will give anything a pass if it’s good.
The real problem people have with woke media or political themes or social justice or whatever you want to call it is the hamfisted writing.
If you can feel the author clumsily trying to force their own viewpoint down your throat, you instinctively rebel. And if, as an author, your highest priority is pushing propaganda, you will probably fail.
Killing is le bad though
The fire nation killed lots of people
I hate christkikes and christcucks so much. The show literally has a guru teaching about charkras.
its not woke messaging because the characters aren't one-dimensional vehicles designed to push a hamfisted message
aang
presented as a child and a coward but eventually not only shoulders the responsibilities of the avatar, but elevates beyond what anyone expected (everyone, even previous avatars, tells him he needs to kill, but he shows the world how to bring peace through mercy). still doesn't lose his innocence and child-like nature
sokka
total failure by the standards of his father and clan, eventually surpasses and champions both while still retaining his humility and humour. holds the team together while being the only non-bender
katara
totally insecure after having to step up early because all the elders are away/dead, becomes aang's first teacher while still being a child, leads the entire team avatar while still being a child, defeats a bloodbender but doesn't succumb to being controlled by it
toph
turns her disability to her strength, peak earthbender, invents new forms, dominates her entire discipline. learns the strength of being in a team but ultimately still ends up alone
yes i know im arguing about a childrens cartoon on an anime forum with other weak virgins
I'd bet you'd have zero issues if the propaganda was right wing.
Faggot breadtube argument
Katara really struggles with waterbending and seethes about Aang’s natural talent. Eventually, through hard work and sheer force of will, she becomes the master. She’s also frequently poked fun at for her motherly nagging tone.
Toph is naturally talented due to her unique circumstances, but has her own weaknesses as well. She has great difficulty learning to mellow out and rely on others.
Azula is extremely talented and driven, but she’s a hollow, sociopathic shell of a person who eventually loses her fucking mind.
They all have flaws and challenges to overcome, or fail to overcome. The definition of Mary Sue is not “strong woman,” as much as disingenuous third wave feminists would like to pretend otherwise.
CHARACTER BEING HIGHLY COMPETENT DOES NOT MAKE THEM A MARY SUE YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING CHROMOSOME BURGLAR
In the world of psychology, they call that “projecting.”
What about it is projecting? I just made an observation.
It’s not an observation if it’s based solely on your own prejudices and preconceived notions of how ‘the other side’ will behave.
