Every Kataang vs Zutara argument since the start has been only 2 things

A Zutara shipper attacks a Kataang shipper,often on a properly tagged post

A Zutara says something extremely bigoted and a Kataang shipper calls them gross for it and the Z/K shipper whines 'it's only fiction'

That's literally all this is.That's all it's ever been.All Kataang shippers have done is exist and have a moral backbone and all Zutara shippers have ever done is ignore and shit on Atla's radicalization messages and positive representation because they were so focused on their crush on Zuko they refused to absorb any of it and same goes for his redemption arc that was about him unlearning propaganda,giving reperations and breaking the cycle of abuse by becoming a pseudo-dad to Aang so he could heal his inner child,help out traumatized kids like used to be and grow up to be his abuser's opposite to twist it into liberal 'Privileged people can never be abusers because it's just the way they were raised and shouldn't be blamed' bullshit and never have to self-reflect even though that was the whole thing that started the famous 'Zuko style redemption arc' phrase and show they asses as poser comrades since they think anarchism and activism is 'violence good' and nothing else

Zutara shippers do not have a right to start fights with Kataang shippers for posting anti Zutara or pro Kataang if the posts are tagged properly and i've noticed a certain few specific users on here who deliberately seek out those posts to 'debunk' and condesend the ops when nobody asked,nobody cares and nobody likes them and this is exactly what i mean with Z/K stans' extremist bigotry.Aang may not be real but the buddhists and tibetans and traumatized children you're insulting with your words of him are.Zuko may not be real but the asian men and mentally ill parental abuse victims and physically disabled people you're fetishizing with your potrayals of him are.Katara may not be real but the native women and punk women and adultitified girls you're degrading by erasing her radicalism are.Atla is not just a fictional cartoon,it's a mirror into our world's minorities told as a story and if it just a fictional cartoon,why don't Zutara shippers let it go?Zutara was never even offered to them and Zukka is not only not 'just Zutara but gay' since the dynamics are super different and Sokka is Katara's opposite but also a point in Zukka's favor seeing as Z/S shippers always ship Kataang,Korrasami and pretty much any combo of the TLA era girls and sometimes even perfer them to Zukka so it's plenty obvious they don't hate women and literally half of them ARE women with a fair amount of trans women specifically so they're's way more feminist Zukkas than they're are feminist Zutaras,who mind you are one thee definers for gender essentialist and ciscentric ships and shippers groups

Zutara shippers are not a minority.Nobody hates Zutara out of internalized misogyny because wanting Katara to date Zuko is not rooted in feminism and neither is having a crush on Zuko yourself on it's own and i say this as a Zuko selfshipper that made an Atlasona to be with him after reading the comics.New Atla kids don't deserve to have their experiences ruined by oldies who think ageism and gatekeeping is a term only for adults and when people not to be bigots and roast you for it because bigotry is a very,very,VERY real thing in every context and you don't get to get away with it because you're saying to someone online or about depictions of real minorities.If somebody insults you for being a Zutara shipper,then you definitely used Zutara as an excuse to do something to earn it first.Zutara is not activism and Aang was and still is more revolutionary than your palpable ship could ever be and you hated him for it because you're jealous of him just like you are irl anarchists,activists and poc like him because we prioritize being good people over being normal and you were taught that's bad and that it means we must be 'on the wrong side' for it because you want him to be once again,wished to date Zuko too much to learn from him instead or to let Katara be anything at all.Kataang shippers aren't to blame for that-You are.It's time to grow up

Singing for her 💙💙🧡🧡

Oh my, your art style is absolutely gorgeous!

Could you possibly draw more kataang?

I'd die a happy girlie 🥹💙🧡

I know this is a repost because it's my favourite Kataang art I've ever made and I don't have new art at the moment. But there's surely more to come. Especially when they were in the Fire Nation because I think The Headband is the superior Kataang episode. 🧡💙

[coconutsaiyan]

people who pretend like all zutara shippers are women of color are delusional.

i have seen MANY cishet white male zutara shippers who project onto zuko and fetishize katara's skin color and indigenous background on youtube and reddit.

no shipping demographic is morally pure. there are bad apples among the shippers of every ship in existence.

It's really funny that a lot of zutara's have a katara profile picture but they don't care about her at all, they care about their fanfic self-insert damsel in distress "badass" asshole katara

[coconutsaiyan]

Zutara's are NOT pro katara, being pro katara means supporting her as both a person and a character AND respecting her choices, zutara's do none of these

[coconutsaiyan]

Just being a woc dosen't make it 'proggressive' for you to ship Zutara because Katara isn't just a woc,she's native.So non-native woc being pro Zutara is about as relevant as nonblack woc's opinion on what is or isn't misogynoir,that is to say,it's overstepping and intentionally malicious overstepping at that and i'm saying this as a black woman who's met tons of native women in the Atla fandom and literally of them have hated Z/K and it's shippers with a passion because they think it's anti-native propaganda and strips Katara of her native girl identity so they're right and they should say it.Stop talking,start listening.You don't get to speak for NATIVE women on Katara,who's like them,not like you and BET y'all talk shit to asian women who're lesser known kinds of asian like Aang too for stanning him because they rarely get to see their heritage potrayed at all much less potrayed positively and they already have to deal with your orientalist pick me asses whitewashing their rep that's actually canon unlike thee symbolism over dynamic ship as if Aang dosen't take more pride in being a poc than y'all do and same for Katara but you find that part of her to be 'not like a real girl' cause she's not doing any of it to appeal to men yet you accuse her of doing it anyway,just for the 'wrong' one??????

[coconutsaiyan]

PLEASE That post you made in response to the Z/K anon showed on my dash because a mutual rb'd it and i immediately thought of this when i found it

-ahh anon💀But anyway i'm sorry they attacked you with their weird ass strawman feminism,you make great posts and you seem very nice!Zutara shippers are literally just pick mes and i'd know cause i'm a super feminine woman and so're most of my Kataang mutuals and i have some nonbinary Kataang moots too and i even hc Aang as genderfluid and Katara as transfem

And i mean,Zutara seems way more sexist to me seeing how often Z/Ks talk about 'males' and 'females' when it comes to it🤷🏽‍♀️Maybe Katara has a personality outside of her gender idk

LMFAOO no that pic is sending me 😂

Zutarians are fuckin dumb as hell trying to call me a sexist for shipping kataang just because I’m a man like in what world 😭 as if most kataang shippers active in shipping spaces aren’t women ??? like LMAO help it sent me

I’ve also had them say that I must be a straight man for shipping kataang but I’m literally gay 💀 and most kataang shippers I talk to are also in the community so that makes it funnier

“Apologize to women” goofy ass anon 😭😭😭

[coconutsaiyan]

Katara and Aang shippers are unhinged while zutara shippers are like this

Number one thing I learned since coming to Tumblr about the Avatar the Last Airbender fandom:

[coconutsaiyan]

Shout out to the best hetero ships out there

(Zelink is barely hetero link is such a gender non conforming twink he’s basically a girl but whatever)

[coconutsaiyan]

katara x aang

they are so cutee

[coconutsaiyan]

here's an underrated moment from 'avatar day' (s2e5): katara almost combusts from laughing at aang as he is making fun of sokka.

she was down horrendously

[coconutsaiyan]

hope this doesn't come across as rude, but there don't really seem to be all that many unhinged zutara shippers?

Oh anon, how I envy you for not running into them. Let me tell you, the death and rape threats are not only unhinged, they're also VERY repetitive. Consider yourself lucky for dodging that bullet, most of the fandom was not that lucky.

[coconutsaiyan]

zuts call kataangs incel men/pick me woman .. me: reminded how zutaras drove me to the kataang fandom and into being numb to a ship i did enjoy in the past they are far to angry and hostile and then wonder why people keep calling out their bs and play victim over/over im tired of the zutara fandom being so angry all the time. they treat shipping way to seriously and refuse to just ship for fun they are allergic to fun im tired of the fandom so tired

"They are allergic to fun" truer words have never been said, and it makes it all the more ironic that whenever they get called out for shit like doxxing or threatening people, they try to spin it as "Bitter canon fans that don't want anyone else to have fun."

[coconutsaiyan]

A lot of ZKs say that ZK (and by extension Zuko) is better than KA (and by extension Aang), because Zuko is held accountable for the bad things he does and learns to grows from them to a better person. Whereas Aang supposedly never does. I don’t understand the sense in this claim. Zuko does grow a lot and he is held accountable for what he does, but he did worse things than Aang, objectively speaking. He suffered a lot, but also did some pretty horrible things. Aang was genuinely a nicer person than Zuko from the get go (and no not a “nice guy”, a genuinely nice kid). So he didn’t need to go through the same arc as Zuko.

Not to mention Aang is usually held accountable for his mistakes. The worst thing he did was hide the letter from Hakoda and if memory serves he is called out for it, accepts the consequences and then regains his friends’ trust. When he accidentally burns Katara, Sokka ain’t afraid to throw some hands and Aang vows never to firebend again. He feels ashamed for letting his rage cause him to enter The Avatar State, heck when he kisses Katara in EIP he clearly felt bad for it (it just really wasn’t as big a deal as people make it out to be TBH, But that’s another story).

IDK. What do you think?

I've already responded to a simmilar ask. It's just a classic cope of people who like to ship the Hero with the Villain but are too cowardly to accept that Villain = Evil. They want the aesthetic, but not the actual content, so they pretend the bad guy was secretly an angel all along while the good guy that threatens their ship is the devil.

Anon who is annoyed to find zutara everywhere, I'm with you.

I got interested in Ty Lee and I'm looking for posts about her - I get zutara AU idea featuring her as a suporting or even background character.

I'm looking for posts about Hakoda whom I love very much - I get another zutara AU idea featuring him as a horrible egoistic asshole of a father to Katara (but not Sokka, of course) because it seems that "god forbid ANY character OTHER than Zuko is even the tiniest bit nice to Katara" is a mandatory rule for zutara plots.

I'm so fed up with this. Maybe blocking the tag will help, even if just a bit.

The Hakoda slander will never not piss me off. Zutarians will scream from the top of their lungs that they want Katara to be appreciated, but they go out of their way to make everyone who canonically loves her suddenly become abusive just so she has no choice but to settle for Zuko.
