this is a very random thought, but one of the worst arguments against kataang I've ever seen has to be when someone essentially said that Aang tearing up when Katara yelled at him out of jealousy in season one meant that he was too immature for her. like you're not gonna convince me that a boy being emotionally vulnerable and a bit hurt when someone he loves is short with him is a bad thing

#this is beating a dead horse but so many of the old ant¡ kataang arguments are wrapped up in weird gender role obsession #where aang is a bad partner specifically because he's not masculine enough by their standard #it's all about him being shorter and younger than katara and the more passive one and the one who's more easily hurt #meanwhile all of those traits are magnified in katara when it comes to the most common portrayals of ztra #fandom bs #shipping #rant
