Ah, yes, the infamous Zutara and the infamous shipping wars. I’m glad that I stayed out of the fandom and didn’t get involved, because the shipping wars sure got ugly at times. Zutara is basically the Harry/Hermione of the Avatar fandom. And it didn’t help that the creators of the series got involved and mocked the fans for liking that pairing. I mean, it’s one thing to disagree with fans or wonder why they don’t like your ship, but it’s another thing to needlessly antagonize them. But, to be fair, people have been extreme on both sides. Oh, well. I still like this ship no matter what.
