citrine18 asked: Bryke is a bit like Sokka-great ideas, but then they sit down and start painting out the picture in their head and everyone around them looks at it and sees a completely different message.

...Eaux...: on korra and the removal of bending →
pulpofiction:
i’ve been meaning to make this post for a while but here we go, i might as well do it tonight
[tw: discussion of rape, assault, violation]
The scene where Korra gets her bending taken away makes me uncomfortable and disturbed on a very raw, visceral level and it’s because to me, personally, de-bending reads like an analogy to sexualized violence and assault due to the...

Hello everybody. My name is Allison and I’m the original poster of this content. It’s taken me some time to figure out what it is that I want to say and I don’t want anyone to think that my silence up to this point has been from a lack of concern. It has not.
I am truly and very deeply sorry to anybody who was offended and/or hurt by this content. The intent...

What they say: Why can't we all be equals?
What I hear: I don't want to listen to your problems and am perfectly happy ignoring that your minority are being left to drown in the current society

Reblogging because of the excellent analysis.
I fully agree with this, but let us not forget that while FMA is a manga/anime, A:TLA/LOK is an american cartoon, and the narrative and concepts of heroism, epic, and badassness are different in both genre, in my humble opinion
I would say that’s not true, and even if it was, the rest of...

theamazingfaggotchan asked: Hey! I don't mean to be rude or anything... but um... Korra has dark skin right? So could someone with light skin cosplay as her? Or is that against the rules? Because if you say that they can't, then that means I would be unable to cosplay as a fair-skinned person.... And that a fat person can't cosplay as... well... anyone... :<

The hyperfocus on the romantic subplot in the lok fandom is kind of astounding to be honest I mean I’ve practically composed informal essays on my problems with the first season of lok and honestly other than ep 5 just feeling like an absolute waste of time, my biggest problem with it was that Asami was introduced as a love interest instead of as a character which lead to the...

It seems to me like there’s a lot of mental calesthetics going on, to make it ‘ok’ that Korra’s getting the crap side of the stick when it comes to Avatar power. And it’s confusing as heck at how wide the stretching goes. Toph kicks ass as a Master. Avatar Kyoshi kicks ass as a Master and an avatar. But the moment the WoC is actually center, the protaganist,...

Pause for a moment.
Does it seem weird to anyone else that the shrinking habitat of polar bears due to global warming gets more attention than the disruption and danger posed to Inuit communities by same?

I’m convinced Asami was once an Equalist but they scrapped that when the series went from six episodes to twelve.
Some random rich girl just happens to bump into a kid who’s friends with the Avatar? She just happens to be a Korra fangirl and her dad is an Equalist?
I’m guessing Asami was meant to be an inside agent for the Equalists. Probably her dad was meant to be too, though...

bropezu asked: WAIT WAIT WAIT. So you always rant about how blackfacing for cosplay is a big no-no, right? That the cosplayer should cosplay as the PoC and can as long as they don't alter their skin tone. But then you reblog someone doing JUST that, cosplaying a PoC but not changing skin tone, and still you give them flack? That's so low. How rude of you, and hypocritical.

Like, white guilt?
You’re talking about white guilt, right?
I don’t know, man. Being an ally isn’t about drawing up a list of all the terrible things your people have done, and then sitting in a corner for a certain amount of time every day and feeling bad about it. That doesn’t help anyone, and it doesn’t change the system. Worst of all, it redirects the...
