Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about Zutaranti, including one where I felt like you were implying them. I’m kind of out of the loop, what did they do?

It’s an interesting little case study in fandom behaviour. Essentially, that Twitter user has made a name for themselves through a pattern of antagonism towards Zutara shippers, and have gotten embroiled in several controversies as a result. Critical to this matter, is their popularity. They’ve amassed a number of followers who like to orbit around them, and this has led to more than a few instances of them implicitly sending their followers after smaller accounts.

One such incident involved them spurring on hate towards an Iranian Zutara and making fun of them, only to later learn that this shipper was living in an active war zone and was indeed a victim of a violent conflict. They backtracked and apologized, to the ends of: “I didn’t know, I didn’t know…but—“ which satisfied their followers, but confirmed what Zutara shippers already knew: that this anti flippantly and performatively used progressive rhetoric to advance their own amusement, and likely cared little for the substance of the principles they claimed to believe in.

There are other controversies, but the last straw was a very recent incident where they invoked the KKK to create some joking “slander material” tags that were a play on words of Zuko’s name with that group. Recognizing instantly that such jokes were racist and offensive given the KKK’s lasting legacy of violence in America, they were quickly called out by Zutara shippers and their followers alike, which led them to backtrack and apologize for their actions. BUT…once again, they relied on the defence of ignorance, claiming that they didn’t know very much about American politics and weren’t familiar with the mechanics of Tumblr’s tagging system.

Many of their followers condemned them and claimed that they could no longer support them, but I want to ask them: what was it that you were supporting up until this point? They were more than happy to bond through dogpiling and deride Zutara shippers for supposed fascist and colonial apologia, all while actively poking the bear and inviting more conflict through deliberate antagonism.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. One of their own went too far, and now the curtain’s been pulled back to reveal the culture all of them played an active role in creating. OOPS! Uh oh guys, are we the baddies?

I find it very offensive that the more unwell you are, the more things you have to do to maintain your health. Things like following special diets, going to medical appointments, making big and important decisions about what treatments to use. At the same time, the more unwell you are the less energy you have to do all of these extra things. It seems grossly unfair.

[bulletproofteacup]

You forgot the part when the more unwell you are, the more people expect you to just have the energy to do all the things you need to do to be “ better.” If you’re even lucky enough to have a “better” in your future.
