This post is fucked in many ways.
First of all, it's obviously a pompous soybitch looking for some blue haired they/them dame to suck his dick. SJW youtube "SRS movie critic" too. Oh, joy, I do love to hear the sassy snaps of dudes like that.
Second. LE DISABLED. Fucking what sort of disabled? I absolutely hate how they conflate whole chunks of humanity that have nothing to do with each other in function. This character is blind. She doesn't have a debilitating food allergy or a missing leg. She (I assume) doesn't have some mental issues. She is fucking blind. Say it. Stop with this wishy-washy, non-sepcific language. I think this is one of the biggest crimes of the leftoid zombies; they use so many fucking words that are just vague, mushy nothing.
Third. Nobody has an issue with a small/female/supposedly disadvantaged person gaining the upper hand in a situation if it's explained and it's explained well. Make it make sense. Does she have some special abilities? Did she learn something that can be useful? HELL, she doesn't even need to be physically superior to be useful and beloved. For feminazis, they love to judge women like they are men. Which is sexist in so many ways. Then again, it also doesn't hurt if she has an actual personality, motivations and backstory, instead of one more iteration of "and she Whedon-speaks at all the male characters and totally cruches the patriarchy because someone told her to make a sandwich that one time". Nobody likes a bitchy person who is about nothing but one upping the men she assumes all just exist to spoil her perfect badass princess fantasies.
The whole love interest thing. Jesus, that is so stupid. First of all, this person looks like a child. I just looked it up, she is motherfucking 12 years old in The Last Airbender and 86 in Legend of Korra. So what is this faggot talking about? Then again, it's not us who need to find a "queer" romance in children's shows and movies about underage kids, but his people. You know, infinite amounts of gay porn about every single underage character ever. No conservative/right wing/not insanely left wing person wants to see a 12-year-old as a love interest or else. Shut your whore mouth. Besides, I love how they claim every female character is a love interest. Just get into not awful mainstream media. Even there, it's not true, but I guess they can't get into anything that doesn't have a fucking Funko Pop made of it. These people seem chronically unable to look for entertainment they like! Terminally online and don't know how to operate IMDB, Goodreads, MyAnimeList or whatever. It's baffling.
But hey, he is a MOVIE CRITIC with a whole ass Youtube channel, so he must be right about his insanely insightful media essays, instead of sounding like his dialogue was written by some foot fetishist Hollywood pedo.
It sounds like you haven't watched Avatar, so I want to confirm your suspicion that this character is absolutely being dragged through the mud here. I'd practically recommend watching the first series just for her (if you think it would be up your alley)
Personality, flaws, charm, humor, etc...she has it all. Her special ability is basically that her other senses have developed quite a bit to compensate for the blindness, so she's a real badass at her style of martial arts - and she never has to whine and moan about being blind or being a girl.
Gee...almost like a well-written character that the audience can relate to no matter their situation. Imagine that.
Once I tried and watched like 20 seconds of ep 1. The... other girl, whatever her name is, was annoying. :D
To be fair, I am a super bad show watcher, I can never finish anything.
Oh, that's quite, quite deliberate. Their intention is to turn everything into a vague mush, so that they then get to choose what of that mush - ultimately - lands you in prison or is deemed so minor it gets forgotten about. That way the justice system, with it's focus on laws and facts, instead would become a political system based on obeisance and favours.
They say "disabled" to get missing limbs or food allergy people grouped together and support. Its like trans and pedos grouped up with gays and bi.
The official term is "Motte-and-Bailey" Logical Fallacy or Argument.
They attack on one ground, but defend on a completely different ground.
And on that note, she still did have somewhat romantic interests. It was a kids show, but it never went past the type of things that are essentially a schoolyard crush. Same thing happens with Aang and Katara. The idea that she "wasn't a love interest" isn't even accurate because it wasn't like she wasn't somewhat trying to be at times.
The reality is this loser almost definitely found ATLA through either the shitshow that was Korra or after the fact when it came to Netflix and the fandom got a massive boost. This person definitely jumped on the bandwagon after the fact, just like every other entryist.
