Listen folks... I love Sokka's feminism arc as much as the next gal, but if we have to choose between his character development arcs I'd rather have his sword arc where he wrestles with the feelings of being useless amongst all the benders. If we're pressed for time, I think it's fine to make him less misogynistic. I know the point of his misogyny in the original is to showcase how you can literally be surrounded by badass women and not even see it, BUT we have that lesson in the original and we don't have time for everything

That being said, I do NOT endorse making Aang's reasonings for leaving "clearing his head". His guilt is tantamount to his character. I would argue that Sokka's story can be told without him overtly facing his misogyny or lack thereof, but Aang cannot exist without running away willfully

i hope we continue to see more protests within the US military. i see a lot of leftists and folks who are anti-military who have such an open disdain for the people who are in the military, yet neglect to considering the conditions this country makes to produce ideology, poverty, and the illusion of choice to make all kinds of people choose to enlist in the military. You ever see those videos of ROTC kids recording each other asking why they joined the military and everyone's like, "healthcare", "it helped me go to college", "I was bored" or "free ptsd lol". I hate to remind everyone but folks who are in the military are people, too, and they are the same victims and perpetrators of violence as the rest of you, we have all been shallowly conditioned to view each other as enemies just because one person is wearing army greens and the other is not.

some of the biggest anti-war advocates are those who engaged in war. Veterans who genuinely believed they were protecting the US against "terrorism" come back with blood on their hands, and they choose to realize that it was US imperialism that forced them to carry out violence, instead of doubling down and shielding themselves from the fact that they too are capable of atrocities... This is a class of people who are intentionally conditioned to be as poor and as ideologically aligned to US imperialism so that the military has a never-ending pool to send their youth to destroy other country's youth. The only people I have ever heard say "do not join the military" are those who ARE military.

This is in no way to ever excuse or explain away any of the atrocious war crimes and violence this industry and its people have committed against others. What I am saying is that we absolutely cannot cast aside the individuals who have been victimized within US imperialism, even if they are wearing army greens. I was speaking with my Palestinian classmate last week and another classmate--a member of the US air force-- walked up to me and struck up a conversation. My military classmate showed me her new bird, bid both of us goodbye, and left. My Palestinian classmate asked me if I was close with her, and I said we talked quite often, and she said, "I never met a person who's in the military. I still hate the military, but I never knew that they did, too. I didn't realize that they were also victims."

If my Palestinian classmate--one who is actively watching her own community die--can understand that it is not individuals who are the problem but it is in fact systems, US imperialism, white supremacy, capitalism...why can't we all? And she has EVERY reason to hate any individual military member. A lot of online activism just creates more barriers. if your optics look bad, complicated, or contradictory, you are cast aside. Everyone has got the be the perfect activist, you can never make a mistake or share a half-baked thought, you should always believe every word from a marginalized persons mouth (because being marginalized doesn't mean you're not entrenched in white supremacy too!) and you should never question what you see...Do you know what you sound like? The very imperialists who are convincing poor whites to vote against themselves. Perfectionism is white supremacy. Black & white thinking is white supremacy.

I'd rather have a military member who genuinely believed in the US imperialism machine but was disillusioned after being deployed as my comrade than some leftist who cherishes the performance of "being a good person". I don't want "good people" in our movements. I want humans who care. I want humans who make mistakes and who learn from them. I want humans who accept the messiness of a person. I want humans who hold others accountable and allow themselves to take responsibility for their actions. I want people who change for themselves and others.

fight systems, not individual people. we can change each other, but if we're too preoccupied looking like the World's Perfect Activists, we will only consume each other alive. Connect to your fellow humans, forever and always.

I know we’re primarily focused on the byler-milkvan specific questions but here is the video of Finn talking about Mike’s mental health!!!!

[transmascissues]

silly little pooner... when will you realize that the reason you are oppressed is because of MISOGYNY? because you belong to the FEMALE sex class.

your brain may be gaslighting you, but your ovaries and fallopian tubes will ALWAYS know your truth.

alright, let’s see what we got here…

✅ immediate infantilization/condescension

✅ calling me a slur

✅ trying to explain my own life to me…

✅ …using clickbait-style CAPITALIZATION

✅ egregious misuse of the word “gaslighting”

✅ personification of my organs?? that’s new

anyway, idk what all this talk about a sex class is or who enrolled my gay ass in the female sex class, but you must be new here because you’re talking to the guy who regularly talks about how trans men still experience misogyny. the only difference between what you said and what i’ve been saying is that mine is actually based in the real life experiences of myself and other trans men, while yours is just based on a bunch of transphobic bullshit that happened to be half-right about one thing. something something broken clocks and all that.

nice try, though. you might have more luck next time if you do literally anything other than being weirdly obsessed with a stranger’s body.

Sorry I'm gonna be ramping on the differences in the live action once again. This is where they just flopped so hard! It's crazy how they revamped this arc (in an actually cool way), but made Usopp a side character in his own arc!

You can see this stark contrast in the original. First off, Luffy and Zoro don't do ANYTHING and WOULDN'T have ever done anything if not for Usopp first giving his all to warn the village, being reduced to humiliation and tears for it, and STILL wanting to protect them. Usopp inspired them! And during the fight against the Black Cat Pirates, he commanded the situation! The others did as he said and moved after he moved. This example I have pictured here is when HE, despite being injured, still took command and directed the kids and Kaya away from the situation, saving them. Then we all know after this, he defeats Jango, saving Kaya's life and completely foiling Kuro's plan, and while Zoro got Usopp there, he stepped aside and just aided Usopp because he knew and believed that Usopp would win.

Luffy may have been the one to take down the big bad, but Usopp was the hero of this arc. They wouldn't have succeeded, or even begun, without Usopp. Usopp is INCREDIBLE and they screwed up conveying that in the live action!! and I'm mad about it! 😭
