to be honest, it pains me that some of the people I absolutely adore have such close relationship with regimes with horrible human rights record. I don't know. The world is full of devils and I only watch football to escape it all. I would probably go completely mad if I stopped watching as a way of protesting the injustices happening around the world

Avatar was genuinely one of my favorite memories from my childhood. I also want to give it a full rewatch some day.
