@ElliotSullivan_ Ngl, I had a busy day and didn't notice the image was AI. Good catch, thank you. I'll be more mindful next time.

Ragebait or not, Katara and Sokka aren't Black, White, or Asian. They come from an indigenous tribe directly inspired by Inuit and other Indigenous North American peoples.

Katara est la plus grande femme noire de l'histoire des animé sans débat

@Emmafromtwt Who have you already made, if you don't mind me asking?

@koral_primrose @naMnaSYt I know AI can be wrong, but I verified that summary against the interviews. Whether it's an 'opinion' or 'headcanon,' it still contradicts the actual story direction. You’re arguing semantics because you can’t argue with facts. tinyurl.com/5abnmy6r (Page 2)

@deityofdorkss @naMnaSYt Also btw, no one headcannoned, it's an opinion about the story's directions. Headcanons are like "Toph got bar piercings at some point"

although I think Zuko and Katara would be a bit better together, I do think this is a good relationship and a great ending to an amazing series
namnas@naMnaSYt
now rewatching

@Solid_Primal You literally just proved my point, and you don't even realize it. Have a good night.
English
@deityofdorkss Your stupid ass dont but everyone else knows when you say Native American you are talking about Indians and white Americans you are referring to descendants of Europeans. Fucking liberal mind set with that dumb ass "modern identities".
English
@Solid_Primal News flash: most white Americans are genetically European. We don't use ancient migration history to erase modern identities. The Inuit are a distinct Indigenous group.
English
@koral_primrose @naMnaSYt Fair enough, I used the Google summary to save time. But the AI was repeating what the creators said. Here is the direct interview confirming their position on Zutara.

@wurikunahkuy You are contradicting yourself. You can't spend a whole thread arguing real-world geography to justify a label, then retreat to 'they are just fictional' when your logic fails. Overwriting deliberate Inuit representation is literal erasure. I'm done here.
English
@deityofdorkss I never said Katara being Black was a headcanon of mine, actually. I'm not grasping at semantics, I'm specifically referring to you pretending to dignify me with acknowledging "Afro-Indigineity," — the canon is they are a fictional group. A Black hc is not erasure.
English
If we are going to reject in-world racial/geographic categories then we must also reject in-world political categories because the Southern and Northern Water Tribes are not "indigenous" in the same way peoples in our world are.

English
@wurikunahkuy You're grasping at semantics. The Water Tribe isn't based on Aboriginal Australians or Melanesians, making that irrelevant. Forcing a broad umbrella label onto a specifically coded Arctic Indigenous group is literal erasure. Your personal headcanon does not rewrite canon.
English
@deityofdorkss You do realize though that there are Indigenous people who are Black but not of African descent + I really do not think referring to someone as Black truly negates or erases such visual cues like you think unless you feel as though they are entirely seperate from the discussion.

@wurikunahkuy Yes, Avatar blends Asian elements globally, and Afro-Indigenous people exist. However, the Water Tribe's core visual and cultural blueprint is undeniably Inuit. Calling Katara simply 'Black' or 'Asian' erases the specific Indigenous representation she was designed to embody.

@manoravui @Art_Leonidaz Até onde eu saiba nenhum dos 4 povos é baseados ou tem referências a África, eles tem várias referências porém focadas na Ásia e povos indígenas
As Principais referências de cada nação que eu lembro são:
Terra-China
Fogo-Japão
Água-Inuit e os Yupik
Ar-Buldistas

@ElElcapitaninca Having distant ancestors from Siberia 5,000 years ago doesn't make a modern group 'directly Asian.' The Inuit are a distinct Indigenous people. Ignoring that nuance completely erases the specific culture the Water Tribe is actually based on.

@daisukinadarin Like if they wanted me to root for Kataang endgame more via the movie’s gratuitous displays of PDA, they failed. Because all the writing issues in ATLA were even more glaring in the movie. It’s minor, but why does Katara wear Air Nomad colors yet Aang wears no Water Tribe colors?
English
"zuko is the type who would save anyone, friend of not" but in relation to katara/in zutara's context ONLY, he is somehow, STILL, perpetually a coloniser and abuser... something doesn't add up, so do you think he's altruistic or an abuser, can you make up your mind? 🤨😒
