#but ‘benders’ were not oppressors it was always an issue of class & colonialism
Note
You posted about LOK so now I’ve gotta mourn it again. It would be so GOOD if it were good, you know?
What if Korra took the side of the socialist and populist mass movements and realized that Maybe The Weird Privileges Of Benders Are Bad Actually
Korra would be So Good if it were good.
*Maybe The Weird Privileges Of The Neocolonial Capitalist Ruling Class Are Bad Actually. but yes
#imperatorsapphiosa#asks#lok crit#bending in the abstract had nothing do with it#it was the way the cultural artform of bending as unique to its respective cultures was approached within a colonial framework#that actually politicized bending#but ‘benders’ were not oppressors it was always an issue of class & colonialism#which bending was certainly a facet of. but not the system of oppression in and of itself#(which is another thing lok barely seemed to understand. lol)
