Not so friendly reminder that you CANNOT be an Avatar fan (I’m talking about the movies but it works for atla as well) and be a zionist, or a white supremacist, or a bigot in any way shape or form.

I know most of you people in the fandom are actually white supremacists and absolutely refuse to admit the very clear metaphor of the movies, but whether you like it or not the Na'vi ARE inspired and are supposed to represent real Indigenous peoples of Earth. If you seriously think that “it’s just fiction” and “they’re aliens so concepts of our world don’t apply to them” I beg of you, please turn your brain on and try watching the movies with your eyes actually open.

Even ignoring the obvious white-savior plot of the first movie (another fact you are not ready to discuss nor willing to admit), nothing changes that the Na'vi are real in our world, they simply exist in a different form, and news flash: they’re not white! And if you love the world of Avatar so much, but you refuse to acknowledge the struggles of Indigenous people, the real “Na'vi” of Earth, then you don’t care about or understand the movies in the first place. If you are enraged by the RDA destroying Hometree and slaughtering hundreds of innocent Indigenous Na'vi and their land, but you don’t spare half a thought for the actual existing Indigenous people that are currently facing the same and even far worse issues, and who the Na'vi purposefully parallel, then you have no business being a fan of this franchise.

[Quick note: I know many people believe fandom places should stay “untouched by politics”, and I agree to a certain extent. It is more then right wanting to escape this world, but categorically ignoring real life issues is a privilege. When talking about a franchise like this that has specific themes, it is impossible to never bring up real-world issues, because that’s what the entire message of the movies is rooted in. Art is not separate from real life, and while you should absolutely enjoy your passions with little worry of everything else, maybe sometimes a few thoughts on these topics wouldn’t be bad, even if they only stay in your mind]

If you feel called out, then you should ask yourself why.

Real😭 it’s almost as though some people in the audience saw beautiful blue people and lush landscapes and were blinded to the explicitly decolonial message of the narrative. Writing fics about the RDA or making Recom OCs or whatever is fun and all in the realm of fiction, but any ounce of media literacy and engagement with the text shows that they are the objective villains of the story and the in-universe analogs for real-life oppressive and colonial forces and technologies of hatred; Avatar is a story with an over-arching moral to it.

And it is an inherently political story. It is not an escapist fantasy for any of us who have to contend with histories of colonialism and imperialist violence. It is a fictionalization of real-world atrocities, of real-world traumas. If you think Avatar is non-political escapism, that is a blind spot caused by your overwhelming privilege and insulation from the suffering of your fellow humans.

You can’t have truly understood any of it and also be a colonial apologist.

#txt #If ‘earth is our pandora’ and the RDA are the invasive powerful who steal from those less powerful than them #Then the Na’vi are our oppressed. Our colonized peoples #The indigenous peoples of turtle island and the pacific islands. The Palestinians. All the indigenous people all over.

Meet Zuri of the Zeswa!

I- I don't know if text in na'vi is correct grammatically but translation has a slightly different meaning that's intentional

I usually don’t make OOC personal posts or talk politics on this page but it must be said. It is often bewildering to me just how many people watch avatar and truly truly believe that if they were in that world, working for the RDA that they’d end up on the side of the resistance upon learning how the RDA treats the Na’vi and their homeland; that they could dedicate their entire life to a job and a mission and go to an entirely new planet in service of that mission only to then defect from it, at great risk and personal cost, out of pure moral conviction... some of y’all can’t even boycott Starbucks😭✋🏽
