What's getting my goat at the moment is that everyone on k_z agreed Katara's aggression in the Puppetmaster was cool and better developed her character by giving her bending a sinister aspect, yet now people are complaining that Katara mocks Zuko too harshly, saying she's a bitch.
Dude, people, MAKE UP YOUR MINDS. If you want her character to be assertive and aggressive in bending battles, if you want her to be "dark", then you can't look down your nose at her when she's angry in a non-battle situation. She's not being a bitch, she's legitimately angry, just like Sokka is.
And even if she were being bitchy for the sake of being bitchy... well she can pull water out of your blood and kill you in the process, so is it really a surprise that she has the capacity to say mean things? And say them to someone who deserves some hassle before he's accepted?
Argh. I just hate the whole persecute-the-female-character-for-being-vocal-with-anger thing, and its especially hypocritical after people celebrated that same behavior in the Puppetmaster episode.
minor rant on this topic
