As someone who has read the book thirteen reason why in around 7th/8th grade i knew i wasn't going to watch the show because when i went back and thought about the book i remembered how stupidly fucked up it was

i didn’t even know there was a book…wtf though i heard so many good things about it when it first came out, but i guess critics don’t actually give a shit about mental health and suicide prevention ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wait what are the "obvious problems in atla" :O sorry for sounding silly by asking!

no worries! I probably shouldn't have said "obvious," I know a lot of people watched atla when they were younger and the issues are less glaring than they were in lok, which tries to take a more "mature" (lol) look at politics.

atla has some of the same pro-status quo/anti-radical activism issues as lok but on a smaller scale, since it's a kid's show. fighting back against your oppressors makes you a bad guy (jet and that blood bender katara meets, I don't remember her name) and they do the whole "this group is oppressed so they're standing up for themselves, which is good, but uh oh now they're burning down an orphanage for some reason!" thing.

they also "redeem" war criminals like uncle iroh and zuko with little to no consequences. meanwhile jet is killed offscreen. it seems like even when people are aware of these issues, they tend to ignore them because nostalgia.

the addition to this post does a good job of explaining what's wrong with atla with better examples imo:

Did you just call King Dedede a twink? He obviously surpasses twinks and goes full on into whatever penguin furries are into

you put “penguin furry” in my inbox and expect me to give a rational response??¿?
