Re my last post:'Aang and Katara shouldn't have had to kill Ozai and Yon Rha' wasn't 'Everyone deserves to live uwu',it was 'Aang and Katara are fucking children who are under no obligation to kill for vengeance'.It was never about Ozai and Yon Rha you buncha numbnuts,it was always,ALWAYS about how Aang and Katara's feelings and mental health should come first and finishing O and YR off should've relied on the shoulders of adults,not a 14 year old girl and an entire 12 year old.Personally i gladly would've killed them in their name if i was an Atla character but then y'all niggas would call me a terrorist like you do Jet and Hama,don't even lie-I've read how you(Zutara shippers)write them

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

I AM BANGING MY HEAD AGAINST THE FUCKING WALL AND ABOUT TO CRY I'M SO FUCKING MAD I HATE ZKS I HATE ZKS I HATE ZKS

okay, now that THAT is out of the way. I hate how zutarians treat Jet. I get aang, as he is katara's canon love interest and the one she ultimately ends up with. Naturally, this would screw with zks' delusions so, yeah, I can see where the hate is coming from, I understand (though by no means do I endorse it)

BUT JET??? WTF DID HE DO?? He was never a "threat" to zk, because katara ditched the barely a day long crush on him the second she learned about his plan. Was it the fact that he (rightfully!!!) calls out iroh and zuko and is antagonistic of them for not just being fn, but for straight up being fucking ROYALS, WHOSE DIRECT ANCESTOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE WAR IN THE FIRST PLACE??

It doesn't matter to zks that jetara was obviously never going to be canon. It doesn't matter to zks that jet's anger is justified. It doesn't matter that jet is probably one of the most tragic characters in the whole fucking franchise, who suffers greatly from war, becomes severely traumatized, loses pretty much everything and on top of that has an "honour" to be one of the few characters who DIES ON SCREEN. It doesn't matter to zks that he's just like katara, sokka and aang - a child permanently scarred by the war.

None of this matters!! He's now a sexist (wut) prick who downplays katara's achievements, toxic, cheats on her (wut) and in some cases just straight up abusive. Basically completely takes over what is usually aang's ""role"" in zks' fewer dreams as katara's abusive ex whom zuko saves her from.

WITH MY WHOLE FUCKING HEART - FUCK ZKS. It's one thing if it's projection and something like that for the sake of smut or whatever. I'm proship, I don't give a flying fuck about 99% of the stuff I see. But this is just a disrespect to Jet's whole character. Why can't they just make up a whole new faceless dude for the role of an abusive ex? Why does it have to be one of the characters, especially ones who were never interested in katara to begin with?!?!

1 - Jet has a lot in common with Zuko, but he is still obviously not the same as Zuko - yet Katara had feelings for him, and not for the fandom's favorite moody boy (and she had WAAAAAY better chemistry with Jet than she ever did with Zuko). Can't have that.

2 - Jet HATES the Fire Nation, which is completely fair (even if his actions in his introduction episode were attrocious). And this fandom, for whatever reason, LOVES to pretend "The Fire Nation totally had a bit of a point" and "Sozin was not an evil man, he just wanted to help people, please forget that he chose to use the comet to wipe out an entire race from the face of the Earth." Jet was always going to be controversial because the fandom would take his (incorrect) way of dealing with his trauma as proof he was 100% pure, while excuse Fire Nation characters that did bad things but had a heart/tragic backstory. Double-standards at it's finest.

3 - He antagonized Iroh and Zuko, two fan favorites. This is, apparently, the worst crime one can commit. As an Azula fan, I should know.

4 - The show was not always fair to Jet either. While they redeemed and KILLED him and the Gaang was clearly upset, the only time he is ever brought up again (without it being a joke) was in the Southern Raiders, and it only mentions the awful behavior he came to regret - not his change of heart. Sure, it was not an innacurate comparison at the moment, but it's unfair that the dude DIED to prove he had changed but is never remembered for anything other than his worst action.

5 - Bryke, unfairly, said anyone who ships Zutara is doomed to have awful, failed relationships for liking such a "dark" ship. They did not like that, and thus double-down on making anyone that had any involvement with Katara be the literal devil in their fics. Unlike Aang, Jet actually DID manipulate Katara once and showed he could get violent towards people with no provocation, so they latch onto that to go "See? OUR ship is not the bad one, THIS is!" completely ignoring Jet's regret, growth, and redemption, as well as Katara's forgivenes.

Anyways, Jet isn't even among my favorite Avatar characters, but Jesus, does the fandom love to crucify that boy for things they'd absolutely forgive characters like Zuko and Iroh for.

[ecoterrorist-katara]

It annoys me that fans & even the ATLA narrative treat Katara’s crush on Jet as if she was simply being silly and shallow. Yes, he was tall and attractive…but he’s also responsible for an entire community of orphans? Maybe after years of parentification, she feels very connected to someone who also had to think about feeding and clothing people and generally keeping them alive? Maybe she admires a boy who seemed to have taken on both her and Sokka’s roles (caretaker and protector), and was really successful at them? Maybe Katara saw a competent boy and liked him just for that!

ATLA narratively chides Katara for liking Jet. He’s coded as this untrustworthy smarmy bad boy character in opposition to sweet friendly Aang. I mean, it’s not subtle: Katara makes a hat for Jet, and after she discovers he’s cool with killing civilians, Aang’s shown wearing the hat. But maybe Katara liked Jet because he had his shit together, while Aang was trying to ride giant fish despite being the saviour of the world! Maybe!

ATLA fandom and removing Katara’s agency and POV

Recently, I came across the following thread where OP proceeded to uplift the following ships to diminish Kataang, on the supposed basis of Katara’s agency and pov (or lack thereof).

I decided to keep all their points and pictures to show a holistic analysis of the show, which they themselves fail to do.

Firstly, on the topic of loss, Kataang has multiple moments where they connect over their losses.

At first, Katara tries to tell Aang that his people may be lost by opening up about her mother, but he is obviously in denial. It is only when he sees Gyatso’s body (like Katara did when her mom passed) that he accepts the loss of his people and her comfort.

I also want to note that this is a recurring pattern of Aang struggling to accept Katara’s comfort at first, despite these shippers’ claims that he easily accepts her “coddling/mothering”.

Kataang as seen in Katara’s pov:

This is easily the most inaccurate part of the thread and shows how shippers fail to acknowledge Katara as a character unless she is with their preferred love interest.

Kataang’s relationship is framed in Katara’s point of view multiple times, especially in these episodes.

Next, Katara’s boundaries:

Once again, they exclude the frames where Katara exercises her agency — pushing him away and telling him off, removing her pov from the scene all on their own. Furthermore on the issue of being violated, what is her point of view when she’s tied to a tree, or when her grandmother is being roughed up and tossed around?

This is part of a greater issue where shippers genuinely believe the misogyny in the writing room is exclusive to a single ship and would somehow be resolved if the female character ended up with… another man.

On Katara’s grief,

Honestly, this has to be the second most dishonest and laughable part of the thread (don’t worry we’ll strike gold soon), so I’m not even going to validate it with more than these pics:

Lastly, the ship in question:

I just find the lightning pic so funny in this context like what?? Like I said earlier, Kataang is shown from Katara’s pov multiple times, but here’s more pics because when your ship has the material!

Aang has seen Katara at her worst multiple times, either stepping in, comforting her or giving her advice (just like Katara has done for him many times, unprompted I might add) because he knows her and has seen her very hostile reactions towards Jet and Hama when they tried to use her as a tool for their revenge. Mind you, this same advice her literal brother and eventually Zuko himself agree with.

Also I always found it pretty weird how Zuko (ahem the writers) set this up so that she can forgive him right after he failed to understand why she was the last one to do so in the beginning of the episode, but anyway…

Lastly, both Aang and Katara have opened to each other in incredibly significant ways. Aang opens up to Katara about the monks and why he disappeared. She is the only person to know this side of him. Meanwhile, Katara tells him about her mother and opens up her family to him, and even in the most platonic interpretations, how is that not the most significant way to open up to someone?

[tachiha3]

I don't know why some zutara shippers (heck even non-zutara shippers) make Katara out to be some tsundere type of whatever. That girl is a massive SIMP. If she likes a boy, you bet she's gonna follow him around everywhere, suffocate him with praises, and tell everyone just how great he is.

[jasontoddssuper]

A big reason why i hate Zutaras is that you see,i'm a multishipper yeah?So i have no problem with noncanon ships.I think they're super fun and interesting actually!But the problem is Zutaras are always stealing the dynamics of other noncanon ships and passing it off as their own's. Katara isn't the water tribe character that's close friends with Zuko to the point where you'd think they're a bickering couple instead,that's Sokka.Zuko isn't the cool slightly older bad boy that Katara immediately had a huge crush on and who she bonded over being hurt by the Fire Nation's colonization's with,that's Jet.Katara isn't the soft uwu ray of sunshine pastel girl who's also a huge badass that Zuko had a wasted potetional romantic dynamic with,that's Ty Lee.Zuko isn't the black haired rich kid that Katara butted heads with at first over their opposite personalities but quickly became loving but vitriolic besties with,that's Toph.And i wouldn't be surprised if there are even more examples than the ones i listed.Like can't they just ship things that have those relathionships *in canon* instead of acting like obvious two found siblings who never showed interest in eachother that way not being eachother's twu wuv is oppression or whatever(Sadly:The awnser it no)

I’m tired & I’m gonna say something. If you guys must ship Katara with a guy she had a canon interest in Jet & yes he was planning something she disagreed with but conflict makes a ship interesting & he did grow & change after that. They had a lot of chemistry & there was clearly something

#anti kataang #anti zutara #jetara #tbh this isn’t anti Zutara I don’t mind Zutaras at all 💖 it’s just that I’m more pro sapphic Katara??? you know?? #but IF we’re doing Katara with a guy it goes like this: #choice 1: Jet. choice 2: Zuko choice 3: there is no choice 3 can she please please please be with a girl 🥺

Summary:

When Jet walks back into her life after a decade, she can’t believe his timing. She’s married now, unhappily but married all the same. He was the one who chose to leave and she hasn’t looked back since.

She must face the question: Is an unhappy relationship worth fixing?

Are memories enough reason to stay? And if they are, which memories should she choose?

All of a sudden something about the smell of a rain-soaked world clicked in her mind. Time and reality fell away to reveal a memory. Old sensation unlike anything in the present took hold of her and she remembered:

“You’re an idiot Jet.”

He reached forward and grabbed her hand, holding it gently between his two larger ones. “You make me crazy.”

And all of a sudden, they were kissing but it was odd and new- their wet clothes rubbed at her skin in an unpleasant way and the rain on his nose was rolling down into the curve of her cheek.

She hadn’t thought of Jet in a long time. But all her old feelings rushed back with the blood in her face.

Aang exalting Air Nomad culture above everyone else’s Should Aang’s introspection have followed Buddhist tenets more closely? Rewriting energybending to improve Aang’s character @terminaschosenone Should Aang have had a more prominent teacher or guide?

[zvtara-was-never-canon]

Regarding that other anon bringing up ZK shippers bashing Jet and making him this ooc abusive rapist to Katara; I wonder if Zeets hate Jet because they think he "stole" Zuko's chance of being Katara's bad boy love interest (even though that wasn't the reason Katara was initially attracted to Jet). Also, ZKs probably hate that books two and three had more recurring female characters besides Katara. Suki and Yue weren't much "competition" for fanon Katara in book one being in only a few episodes and Sokka's love interests, but I guarantee you if Zuko had crushes on Toph or Ty Lee or even a returning Suki, they'd get just as much hate from the ZKs as Mai does.

Oh, you have NO IDEA how correct you are. I remember seeing some Zutarians that were cool with Suki as a character and with Zuki as a ship - until that ship started getting some popularity. Not much, but just the slightest possibility of Zutara not being THE "preferable choice" to Maiko made them want heads on spikes.

I've seen PLENTY of anti-Maiko/Mai metas that talk about about how Ty Lee is totally the superior character and better suited for Zuko - and it's just painfully obvious in every single one of them that the reason why they picked Ty Lee as the "totally neutral third choice" is because she is BY FAR the female character Zuko has interacted with the least. They know there's no way the fandom would colectively latch onto that as "the perfect ship that we could have totally had", so it's not really a threat to them and allows them to pretend that their hatred towards Mai is not 100% because she "gets in the way" of their ship.

It REALLY wouldn't surprise me if it was the same with Jet - after all, unlike Jin, he wasn't a one-off character that is never mentioned again. Katara's past interest in him WOULD absolutely make him a threat in their eyes.
