You know, this is really bothering me a lot. I always knew there was a war going on between Kataangers and Zutarians, but I think it's starting to get just a little bit out-of-hand.
For a long time, Kataangers have stood firm in their belief that their ship will happen. Well, season three has proven them right, that at the end of the show, they'll probably end up together.
But what, suddenly Kataangers feel the need to make fun of us Zutarians. I mean, for a long time, one of the Zutarian's arguments that Kataang won't happen is because Katara doesn't see Aang as anything more than a son/brother. However, it's kind of obvious now that she's developed feelings for him.
So now what, suddenly Kataangers have to rub it in our faces? I can't speak for everyone who ships Zutara, but I know that most of us don't go around bashing Kataang and saying it won't happen. We don't complain or go drawing comics making fun of their ship or those who support it.
It's not like I can't take a joke, or laugh at my own ship. Heck, my OTP is Sokkla, and I know there isn't a chance it's going to happen, but really now, it's become not so much an attack on the ship itself, but on those who support it!
I'm starting to see a lot of comics out there that make fun of Zutarians themselves. Often we're made out to be vain and stupid shippers who will ignore blatant fact solely because we believe in "opposites attract".
I don't think it's fair, and I don't think it's right either. It's one thing to make fun of all the cliched plotlines you find in fanfiction, or some of the more ridiculous theories on how it'll happen...
But to attack us shippers, and penalize us, and make us out to be some nimrods who don't have an ounce of common sense? Why? What for? Cause you want to have your little gloat? Because you want to feel better cause you made other people feel bad...?
That's not called being funny, that's called being malicious, and if that's what Kataang supporters are made up of, that doesn't speak much for the ship itself.
