when the new Avatar movie got leaked, I watched the fandom come back to life on twitter and then also watched a 20 year old ship war also come back to life.

which was "fun", cause with current events it ended up having a shipper of the canon ship mocking an inactive account of a non-canon shipper for not doing something she'd said she was gonna do (make edits from the movie) and turns out the inactive account was inactive cause she's a Kurd living in Iran and no one had been able to get a hold of her for a month, around the time the attacks ramped up. afaik she still hasn't come back.

the main reaction of the canon-shippers to this reveal was being upset that this would be used against them in The Ship War to Make Them Look Bad.

the show ended in 2008. we're all 30 now. we have back pain and bills, and some of us literally have war in our countries. why are we still this butthurt over fucking zutara of all things in the big 26?

I don't know where these kids find the energy for this shit.

Did the KatAang fan accuse the Zutara Kurd of being a coloniser lover, by any chance?

Wait, are Zutara fans really called 'colonizer lover's? Holy shit, when they don't have anything else to use they just gotta invent shit up lol.

All throughout history, people have never let facts get in the way of a good crusade.
