Funny how ABSOLUTELY NOBODY ever said anything like this about Toph until now. And I'm fairly certain absolutely nobody disliked Toph to any major degree (in TLA, Korra might be a different story). A very powerful little girl with a severe physical hindrance, but also somehow obtaining the Daredevil sense (exclusively through the earth). The series not only went out of its way to make sure she had her limits and weaknesses despite her amazing control over earth, everyone treated her as an equal to the point that they forget she's blind, such that most of the "blind jokes" are literally just her reminding them of that fact. Her greatest weaknesses? Twinkle-toed Airbenders, flying objects, and SAND (part of her own fucking element!). She had an endearing snarkiness to her, barriers to overcome (that weren't buzzword politics), and goals to reach.
She's what we call a WELL-WRITTEN CHARACTER.
I'd argue she was one of the better characters in Korra, albeit a little on the comic relief side despite being a teacher role. But to be fair, that can sum up a lot of the characters of Korra and all its contrivances.
