My sister’s favorite western cartoon is Avatar. She recognizes the themes of war, racism, and colonialism.

My brother’s favorite movie is Avatar (James Cameron)

They’re both racist conservatives lol. My brother is even a Reaganite even though he never lived through his presidency. ( I feel like it’s one thing to be a fan of historical figures you’ve never lived under like :lenin-sure: but Reagan is a modern figure lol).

    I mean the earth kingdom is clearly supposed to be China and the whole theme of Ba Sing Se is like "oh wow this is just like 1984 damn" you can get whatever you want out of it. It's a children's show. Have you considered you were seeing something that wasn't there?

      It’s a children’s show.

      Avatar discussions aside, that should never be an excuse for bad shows, bad ideology, or for that matter lowered expectations for what is presented to people in their most crucial formative years.
