overlooking all the other reasons why the show went downhill: katara’s feminine rage missing, aang getting guilt punched every episode, bumi being ooc, almost zero gaang bonding episodes, three episodes compiled into one (done twice), azula being introduced too early + given too much screen time, the cave of two lovers being in s1 when it was a s2 episode— all of that is valid but the show can really be pointed out in two ways where they went downhill:
aang never waterbended once during a season where it is literally called book one: water.
yue’s wig.

when barbie thinks that she's ugly and sad, the narrator breaks the fourth wall and is like if barbie wasn't played by margo robbie, this scene would be more believable and i am just, jfc

Just gonna drop this before I go back to my inconsistent posting schedule

[ID: a coloured digital drawing of sokka from atla, the composition mimicking a barbie (2023) poster. inside a glittery blue starburst, he’s lying on his side with a wide grin, his head propped up on one hand. the other hand is also behind his head, holding his boomerang. he’s wearing his regular blue tunic and gloves. white 3D letters standing before him read, “Sokka”, the S curly and elegant, and the O containing a seemingly carved water tribe wave symbol. the background is a blue, slightly cloudy sky. text above reads, “This Barbies first girlfriend turned into the moon”. text below reads, “Thats Rough Buddy”. the “buddy” is in lettering similar to his name. /end ID]

Sokka:It's so unfair that you, Aang, and Toph have all gotten wanted posters, and I haven't
Zuko: I technically got 2, but why are you bothering over it now? We're no longer enemies of the fire nation
Sokka: It's the principle of it, and plus, I feel underappreciated. Wait what do you mean you had 2?
Zuko: That's unimportant, *thinks to himself for a moment*, what if I made one for you now, I'll even give you a bigger bounty than Aang with a cool nickname added on to it for you. Would that make you happy?
Sokka *tearing up*: You truly do care about me
Zuko: Great, when you leave the fire nation, I'll release it and have it circulate for a few weeks, then call it back so that you're not constantly being hounded and chased by bounty hunters.

i make fun of zuko a lot for this but really, what are you supposed to say when you're hot air-ballooning to a rescue mission and your new friend/former enemy tells you that his first girlfriend turned into the fucking moon

I think a lot of this 'religion is necessarily oppressive' stuff honestly is kind of like the confusion about ppl thinking that like, slavery and scientific racism and etc came about BECAUSE OF beliefs that Black people etc were not fully human rather than those beliefs -- those ARGUMENTS, really -- being JUSTIFICATIONS that were invented to allow white ppl to continue to engage in slavery which was at its core about economic exploitation. Like that most systemic bigotry serves a Useful Purpose to those in power and that's why it exists; the policies aren't put in place because of the beliefs. The cart isn't pulling the horse. Christian stuff was used to justify the same things that later, "scientific progress" was used to justify in the west (e.g. scientific racism, eugenics, etc. Very very very much rooted in the idea of certain beliefs and cultures as inherently more rational and forward thinking because BEING RATIONAL AND VALUING SCIENTIFIC PROGRESS WERE CULTURAL VALUES AT THE TIME.) (This does not say anything about Science. It says things about Institutes and power and oppression.)
Similarly, you see a lot of people saying "well religion is used to justify oppression by the people in power" and its like yes. Religion is not unique. Beliefs about what is true about the world -- ideology -- can always be used to do this and frequently is.
When there are common beliefs held by a majority of people in a given culture those beliefs will be used by the people in power to explain and justify the things they do to maintain power and control in society.
This isn't a function of religion. It's a function of power.
When people say "well, this religious rhetoric is/was used to justify misogynistic legal standards in this society" the answer is yep. And if it wasn't that it would be something else because that society had an investment in that specific kind of oppression of women. We have seen this morph into 'rational' 'scientific' explanations for women's inferiority and justifications for making women second class citizens once the cultural values swing more towards rationality and science, as well. Thats... regular.
Like... love to have a good faith convo about this with someone who doesn't get weird and reactionary about "Religious People" but sure not seeing much of that going on. Weirdly.
Anyway.
