as a certified woman-lover I understand the instinct to say there's no such thing as a woman who isn't beautiful or all women are amazing etc. and i take a lot of comfort in loving women. and beauty is in the eye of the beholder etc. we can't say anyone is objectively attractive or not and "ugly" is a loaded worded riddled with a history of fatphobia, racism, and ableism. that all being said, all women don't have to be beautiful to deserve respect. women are allowed to be "ugly". if we hinge our respect for women solely on how much we love them then what happens when there are women we don't find attractive or nice or pleasant or who actually have no desire to be seen as attractive either. what about grandma? idgaf if you find old women hot, what about their unpaid labour? their rights??

We all have our tastes. But women should be beautiful to you in, like, a universal philsoophical sense

bebsi-cola

but they're not. sometimes women are bigots. or blonde. there is no one on this god forsaken earth that thinks all women are beautiful, but even if there was, that is entirely, fully, completely separate from the personhood of women and the respect they deserve as human beings, and the rights they deserve as people, and the work that needs to be put into combating misogyny. we will literally never be free until beauty is not a factor in how we treat people

If you're in the "all women are beautiful camp" the second you find a woman NOT beautiful (which you will) you will inevitably start treating her in the the ugliest fucking manner. "All women are beautiful" puts women on a pedestal that's punishing to step down from.

Zuko said, “When I saw the Dai Li attack you, I didn't think. I just helped.”

And I heard, “When I saw Azula attack you, I didn't think. I just jumped.”

Just saying, the amount of fans getting mad at about Netflix adaptation for being different to the original series this season specifically and not last season is a bit telling. Mate it completely departed from the original series last season and I believe they have continued it in a way that fits the storyline they are establishing and the condensed screen time they have to work with. It was always an AU, getting upset about it now tells me Y'all just triggered by the ships, not the actual faithfulness to the original show.

It's a different show. It's an adaptation. It essentially is Fanfic of the original. It always has been. And that's all I have to say.

Hey so can you explain how Mai abused Zuko constantly in the comics, I haven't read them and I don't intend to because people told me they're a waste of time, but I have read that Mai abused Zuko and even tried to murder him, what was her motive in trying to have him killed? What else did she do to abuse Zuko?

Yeah, I don’t recommend the comics other than morbid curiosity. It wasn’t that Mai directly tried to murder him. Her father is the leader of this group called the New Ozai Society. They want to put Ozai back on the throne and they are trying to assassinate Zuko because they think he’s a weak leader. So, Mai apprehends the leader and it turns out to be her father. He basically convinces her to let him go by bringing up how bad of a boyfriend Zuko has been to her. So, her relationship problems get mixed into her decision to release her dad who is trying to kill Zuko.

Then she lies to Zuko about her dad being involved.

The whole time, she knows he is still out there plotting to kill him and his entire family, but she doesn’t inform him of this. Her dad really means business.

And here’s the real clincher. She thinks Tom-Tom is better off if their dad in NOT in jail, so she is weighing the options. She puts Zuko’s picture away and looks at her and Tom Tom. She seems to be saying to herself that it might be better if she doesn’t not try to stop her dad, and she is kind of saying “goodbye” to Zuko. They have had an on-again-off-again relationship, and she’s got Kei Lo now in her life. So she seems like she is preparing herself that her dad is going to eliminate Zuko.

She finally tells Zuko the truth, and twists it around to make it seem like he isn’t understanding enough. She knows her dad is “evil” in her own words. But she couldn’t “betray” him. And it is pretty insidious that she says “you of all people should understand that”. Especially because Mai had no sympathy whatsoever for any of the things Ozai did to Zuko in the show…

She literally aided and abetted an attempted assassin. She witnessed her father attempt to set Zuko, Iroh, Ursa, Kiyi, and Ikem on fire– burning them to certain death, and she LET HIM GO. That is a direct aid in the murder of Zuko AND his innocent family, including a five-year-old, little girl. Yeah.

Oh, and Zuko DIRECTLY asked her if her father was involved, and she said NO, protecting her father, and DIRECTLY endangering Zuko’s life, and his family’s lives. This is a direct acceptance of Zuko’s likely murder. She knows her father seriously attempted to kill this boy she allegedly still LOVES. She KNOWS that he plans to continue trying to murder him until he successful. Mai STIL lies to Zuko to his face, keep in mind this is treason as well as a personal betrayal as he is the head of state, helps her father hide, lets him go, and keeps this up until she finds out her dad has Tom-Tom. She has no guilt at all whatsoever for how Zuko feels, his family, what she did to him. She doesn’t apologize, and worse yet– she MANIPULATES HIM INTO APOLOGIZING.

For…?

Oh? Not empathizing that they both had evil dads? And diminishing Zuko’s abuse by comparing it to hers…?

Mai’s father was a villain, but he was not a bad father. In the show, she was NOT abused. Her dad was a “bad guy” but not a “bad father”. There is a huge difference. There are plenty of villains who love their own kids. Mai is EXTREMELY, IRREFUTABLY, and INEXCUSABLY abusive to Zuko in Smoke and Shadow. It makes NO SENSE he forgives her. I could see Zuko, due to his struggling self-esteem forgiving her for trying to have him killed (which she did, by allowing her father to go free, lying, and keeping her father up to keep trying to kill Zuko) but he would NEVER forgive her or be able to trust her again when she assisted, IN CANON, if you don’t believe me, I’ll get the screenshots, the murder of his beloved Uncle Iroh, his beloved mother he searched the ends of the earth for for years, and his baby sister who he loves dearly, and an innocent, good-hearted man who loves his mother.

It’s literally horrific and if you like Maiko, you should hate more than I do as an anit because… your ship was bad before, but c’mon… now it’s just implausible.

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

the "milkman" is a common figure in stories depicting a woman's infidelity and adulterous affair.

this implies that the ability to provide milk would both decrease the likelihood of a man abandoning his wife and children, as it would eliminate the need for leaving to get milk AND would secure that man's marriage, as his wife would have no need to seek milk from an extraneous source.

therefore, all men should produce milk, through various means such as:

- being a cow

- being an almond

- being a woman

- being a coconut

- being in the omegaverse

- being an oat

(list is exemplary and not finite)

in this essay, i will redefine the nuclear family and explain the seductive and inflammatory nature of the 1993 "Got Milk?" commercials.

I think its pretty in character for zuko to ask someone to kill him if he """becomes like his father 🤡🤡🤡"" like ok Fine, whatever. but pre-lobotomy katara wouldnt just be over there like 🧍‍♀️. she would have doused him with ice water, actually.
