the Sokka thing is victim of todays "political correctness" in terms of "we can't show characters being sexist, assholes etc.) and these writers completely miss the point of it. The point being to show flawed characters that learn from their mistakes

[Snakeskin94 13]

"Sokka is sexist!"

"Yeah, that's the point- he changes and gets better."

"You can't have your character be sexist- that's sexist!"

"I just said-"

[Liftea 12]

having characters like this is fine as long as they are either portrayed as assholes or flawed/willing to change

[Snakeskin94 13]

Keep in mind, and I'm not defending this idea at all Tea, but-

[Noleen#7811 3]

it doesnt matter in the end, the character is still the same

[Snakeskin94 13]

I have known people who have seen sexist characters and when they change and develop they're like "don't care they were sexist."

"But they changed."

"But they were sexist."

"I just said-"

[Liftea 12]

💀

[Snakeskin94 13]

Not even just sexist, but any kind of bad.

[Daz_4th 7]

that makes no sense 💀

these peopIe are definiteIy twitter dweIIers

[Snakeskin94 13]

Within reason of course some bad actions are more able to over look than others; when talking about character development.

[Snakeskin94 13]

But like

Sokka isn't a firetruckin war criminal or sexual predator

So what the fucj

So what the firetruck

Let him be sexist lmao

It was in the cartoon 20 years ago

oh God that was 20 years ago

I'm so old-

[Liftea 12]

man I still remember the day after the final episode

I couldn't watch it

and the next day we went to school via public transport

and this one asshole kid yelled spoilers that everyone could hear

this firetrucker

Madge

[Snakeskin94 13]

You should have stomped his ass in the school yard

[-Kye- 10]

I feel having those flaws for the character to develop is important to character writing. If anyone says that the sokka change was good they never watched the og

[Snakeskin94 13]

Yeah like Sokka changing is good

When he has something to change from

[Liftea 12]

 

"DID YOU KNOW THAT AANG SEALED THE FIRELORD'S POWERS?!!!!!!"""

 

[-Kye- 10]

Hey but nah let's just make him perfect

[Snakeskin94 13]

Actually it's worse Kye

Let's make him deadpan and disinterested

[-Kye- 10]

The side episodes that actually didn't feel that way were amazing development. WHEN YOU CAN WRITE A FICTIONAL ANIMAL GREAT YOU WIN

That's what the og did

I saw who they casted as Mai and I was like

[Snakeskin94 13]

I liked the look of Shamalyan's Zuko more

Really captured the angry moody teenager

[-Kye- 10]

Boomy looked aight

Ozai is great

[Snakeskin94 13]

The Jet episode from Book 1 is still like one of the best ones

[Snakeskin94 13]

And that's not even talking the Canyon episode.

[-Kye- 10]

I remember I saw that there saying firetruck ba sing sei

[Snakeskin94 13]

Yeah Ozai is the best looking one lol

Ok that actually pissed me off
