lolā¦that acc finally being held accountable ā¦ā¦.still doesnāt erase all the weeks of vile, horrid, racist/misogynistic dogpiling and harassment towards zksā¦..still doesnāt change the fact that thousands of kas supported her behavior and enabled her through constantly acting like her henchmen and justā¦. happily joining in her echo chambersā¦.downright supported her racist behavior until it was undeniable and in-the-face then reducing it to āship warsā or āboth sides did too muchā or āletās not be as bad as zks nowā ā¦ā¦..u all move so weirdā¦ā¦. canāt apologize for shit without stumbling to save face
iāve only followed from the outskirts, but itās crazy how many people are surprised that the zutaranti story ended this way. the last few weeks have been such a mess of cruelty towards zutara artists and bloggers, harassment, bad faith engagement, trivialization of real life issuesā¦ it was obvious that someone was going to take it too far. zk accounts were WARNING zutaranti&co that that certain jokes were problematic and harmful, that mistagging was inappropriate, that the use of real life issues to āwinā arguments was hurtful, insensitive and racist. fell on deaf years until it got to such a bad point. and kas are still insisting with this stupid lie and justification of āfine, one of us got too far but zutaras are bad/annoying/harassers and started it!!ā yet they can never name one guilty account unless they are taking a screenshot of someone who HAS THEM BLOCKED and dogpiling on them. theyāve spent so much time insisting with this narrative that zks are the ābad applesā of the fandom and therefore deserve any and all harassment that their space has turned into a cesspool and they donāt even notice.
same. i didnāt want to involve myself knee deep into that horrid hellhole of repeated, hateful, illogical discourse. the reason why zutaranti was given such a huge platform to spread her bs takes is that kas - on a general scale - agreed with her! they loved the numbers and the ratio and the constant dogpiling that targeted any notable zk acc - they loved infiltrating zk spaces and harassing users and using real life issues to justify their awful, toxic behavior, all in the name of propagating the Superiority of their Canon Ship. zutaranti did all of that - the minimization of real life issues to fit their narratives, the constant harassment and bullying, the problematic jokes and memes - for aā¦..cartoon shipā¦ā¦.that aired in 2000sā¦ā¦.like thatās whatās flabbergasting to me. you do not see the same kind of anger or vitriol or dedication in advocacy for actual, real-life issues! they bank on their Moral Superiority Tug of War when atla itself was created by orientalist white men who smushed varying asian cultures into stereotypical portrayals and called it a day! theyāre backpedaling now by saying theyāve always called on her bs (but was too afraid to āspeak upā, whatever the fuck that means) or that it was two-sided, both zks and kas are at fault - or somehow they go as far to stretch that they look āas badā as zks now. well, no, they look fucking worse. even now, their apologies are half-meant and barely apologies at all. theyāre genuinely weird people who are so convinced of their own superiority and Rightness that itās just - polluting the fandom. zks take to their own spaces - kas have no idea how to do that. this was a lesson in the making but iām pretty sure barely any of them will pick it up. lol
it's interesting how now they have let their friend discover where the line is drawn in the sand, they have happily denounced and distanced themselves from any association with the behaviour that they themselves enabled.
the normalisation that has occurred of treating zutara fans as if they condone real life genocide and colonialism (when zutara fans like to imagine a world where katara falls in love with a banished prince who turned his back on his nation, his abusive father, the only home he's ever known, in order to dismantle said ruling power) is absurd. flattening real people, real atrocities. for what? cartoon ship discourse? are we serious?
the joke that account made crossed a line. but why was any of the behaviour before that point even fostered in the first place?
have yāall noticed how our tags have been getting flooded with anti-zutara content and constant cross-tagging lately? thatās not a coincidence. on twitter, some kataang shippers are literally encouraging people to come onto tumblr to āfight backā against zutara shippers; and, as you can see from some screenshots, to straight-up bully them.
these people are not in our tags looking for respectful debate or polite conversation. theyāre here looking for fights and excuses to harass people over a cartoon ship. (saying that out loud is honestly embarrassing enough already).
another important thing to note: zutaranti is a genuinely problematic person, and you can read more about it. her little bootlicking followers arenāt much better either, constantly copying her behavior, eating up everything she says, going through the trenches to defender her, moving like an actual cult sometimes lol.
and she constantly screenshots our posts to post on twitter so people can dogpile us. a lot of those screenshots are intentionally cropped or taken out of context just to push a narrative. she even screenshots posts from people who responded to her. because her goal was never to have a civilized discussion, clarify her points, or genuinely engage with what zutara shippers are saying. sheās just here to screenshot, mock people later, and encourage her followers do to the same.
so seriously: just block them. donāt engage. thatās exactly the reaction they want.

apparently there's a new massive anti in the zutara tag causing shit and listen, from a fandom old:
don't argue with them, starve them.
don't respond to their shit. don't give them air. don't argue with them, even when their arguments are infuriating bullshit. ignore them, block them. if they send you hate or send their friends to attack you, delete the messages and comments and block them. free blocklist. they don't "win" if they get you to block them, they win if you engage.
don't feed the trolls.
trolling like that is not a thing that, like, okay people do. it's either someone who is genuinely just an asshole looking to hurt people or someone who is going through some shit and making it everyone else's problem, and either way, arguing with them accomplishes nothing. just ignore them. block them. delete the comments, the asks. block the people who reblog the post with their shit. it's not your problem. they're the ones being the assholes here, but engaging with them - even when you're making good points - just gives them more air to set fire to.
block that asshole. block them until the whole tag has blocked them, and block every sockpuppet they make, too. this is our sandbox, and if they don't like it, they can go to a different one, not take a shit in ours.
she quite literally respects no personal or online boundaries. it started on twitter with her screenshotting peopleās tweets and reposting them to turn those people into laughing stocks. then it escalated into stalking old tweets, obsessively monitoring certain users 24/7 (because sheās always very quick to screenshot brand new tweets), and of course she also does this to people who have blocked her. blocking someone is already an online boundary, but she clearly has no issue violating it and continuing the harassment anyway.
she even screenshot a minorās tweet, someone who had her blocked too, and turned them into a target for mockery, which then led some of her followers to go harass that minor directly. thatās genuinely unhinged behavior.
she also mocked an Iranian woman who had been inactive for three months because of the war, making fun of her lack of edits. and more recently, she made some ājokeā involving a zutara fan, asking her followers who would āfall in love firstā and yada yada. her followers then (and her going along with it) started creating romantic and sexual scenarios involving this person, purely to mock and humiliate her. and mind you, this zutara fan openly expressed discomfort with the whole thing. honestly, iām not even sure it can be called a ājokeā when they arenāt even friends, and when the person involved was clearly disturbed enough to question whether it counted as sexual harassment (and yes, thatās sexual harassment). she obviously did not consent to being used for this weird parasocial humiliation ājokeā.
so no, do not expect any good faith from her. if sheās using our main tags, itās because she wants attention. at this point, it honestly just feels like sheās either deeply unemployed or deeply weird, maybe both, and that picking fights, acting like some online Regina George, and publicly mocking and bullying people is the only way she gets attention and validation. so letās not give her that.
