#came across a tiktok today shitting on thalia tran and elizabeth yu (mai and azula)

[burst-of-iridescent]

the way atla fandom is treating the actors for zuko, azula and mai in the netflix live action is genuinely disgusting. you do realize real people aren’t gonna have perfect knife-sharp jawlines without an ounce of fat, right? or that making unwarranted comments about the appearances of teenagers because they have the audacity to have actual human proportions is really fucking gross? saying that they should lose weight or that they look too soft or nice or whatever the fuck it is, as if their resemblance to 2D characters is more important than their health and mental well-being, is a fucking asshole move.

these are real people, not stand-ins for your fav fictional characters. get a fucking grip and grow up, jfc.
