I've been thinking a lot lately about how so many people miss the point of TSR completely. Like Katara did forgive Zuko because forgiveness is earned and no Katara didn't forgive Yon Rha because she can choose who to forgive/ who not to forgive and no Katara shouldn't have killed Yon Rha because the whole point of the episode is that you don't have to forgive someone to show them mercy. That's why Bryke insisting that Katara "forgave Yon Rha" after the fact is not only fucking stupid because she literally says something exactly to the contrary in the episode and it doesn't just remove her agency it removes the complicated moral theme

#such a complex message its honestly my favorite episode #but I feel like a big chunk of the fandom missed the point one way or another #there is an argument that they perhaps didn't consider the social factors involved in implying katara was just as bad as Yon Rha if #she decided to kill him because that's obviously not true #but still I just feel like with all the people dissecting the episode over the years the overarching theme was kind of missed #we all just focus on the smallest of lines we're ignoring the bigger picture #katara #zutara #tsr #atla #avatar the last airbender
