Pretending to be a non bender does make sense as his dad was a wanted mob boss and not being known as a bender helps conceal his identity and avoid attention.
The main way the show ignores this sympathetic backstory is by narratively treating this kind hearted character who wants to help people weaker than himself as a power hungry monster. Despite the obvious fact that if you are power hungry you would cater to the interests of the powerful not the powerless
Reminds me of my lib relative in Seattle saying something disapproving about how Kshama Sawant "is all about her self and just wants to build a career with her 'antics'" or something like that.
I didn't want to explain how a socialist party operates, but now she's fucking retired lol. Idk running for a state office isn't totally out of the question which would disprove my point, but it's still nonsense to call out a political leader who isn't a fucking empty suit careerist lib over nothing like that.
