aang and his scary dog privilege
watching atla for the first time
The news about Sokka not being sexist in the Avatar Netflix show took people by surprise. After all, Sokka overcoming sexism and starting to drink his respect woman juice was a huge development for him. But I think people are misunderstanding the situation.
Sokka's sexism wasn't taken away to make him less problematic, it was taken away to not let Katara be a feminist.
Let's all be honest here. Netflix doesn't care about equality or being righteous. They take inclusivity and use it as merchandise. They take problematic characteristics away so that they advertise their shows to kids. But most importantly: they take away just causes and political speech or wash it down for it to be as profitable as possible.
Sokka isn't a sexist anymore because Netflix doesn't want people to be offended by him. Sokka isn't a sexist anymore because if he was Katara would have to be the angry feminist that she always was and Netflix doesn't want people to be offended by HER.
Because Katara was revolutionary. She called her brother a "stupid maschilist" in kid's show as her second line. She is the first one to believe in change. She inspires a bunch of adult men into rebelling against an occupational force by raising her voice and being flashy and loud. She insulted a 70 years old dude to his face and fought him because he was a sexist jerk and she challenged traditional gender roles. She tore down a factory because it was destroying the ecosystem.
THAT is Katara.
A loud and young girl, feminist and ecoterrorist that quite literally changed the world by believing in change and being loud about her ideas and hopes.
She is a NIGHTMARE for most folks of the older generations and conservatives fucks.
Toning down Sokka means toning down Katara and that is what they want.
why do I see people complaining left and right aboout them cutting sokkas sexism arc but not about them completely cutting sokka out of the jet arc??? which in my humble opinion was much more important to sokkas character development overall and as a leader. sokka being the only one not blindly believing jet and his heroic act and instead trusting his instinct and revealing jets twisted morals and cruel plan that could have led to the death of a whole village full of innocent people??? no one???

[ID: A digitally drawn comic of Toph and Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender talking about Zuko’s scar.
It begins with Toph approaching Zuko, who is sitting near a campfire. “You have a scar?” she asks. Zuko replies, "Oh! Uh, yeah… You didn’t…?“ Toph cuts him off and says, "Came up in passing with the other guys.” Toph casually makes herself a seat out of rock and sits down next to him. “Must be pretty badass if everyone assumes I know it’s there, too,” she continues. Zuko looks aside awkwardly and says, “… It’s on my face.” “Ah.” Toph replies.
Zuko says, “Maybe you could… feel it?” “Huh?” says Toph. “I guess, if I concentrate hard enough.” Zuko reaches for Toph’s hand. “Uhm, just with your hand, if you want,” he says. “I don’t think I can describe it.” “… Gotcha. Guide my hand then, boss,” Toph says. Zuko does so, and there’s a pause as Toph touches his scar. The fire reflects in her eyes.
As Toph pulls her hand away, Zuko says, “…. You know, my left eye is almost blind, too.” “Seriously?!” Toph exclaims. “Why aren’t we a tag team yet?! The blind bandit and the half-blind dweeb!” “Come on…!” Zuko moans. End ID]

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy,” she said. “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends,” was the answer.
