Seems like the netflix avatar made Azula seem like a victim cause women can never be evil by themselves

As that blurb mentions the closest anything came to abuse came from her mother who thought Azula was a "monster", something Azula then says is correct "She was right, but it still hurt".
Azula was a psychopath in every sense of the word, jealous that her brother had so much of her mother's love and that he was the heir to be until he spoke out of line.
She had her own 'team' who she not only saw as extremely useful but loyal to ONLY her so when they 'betrayed her' (In reality Mai said it herself, she loves Zuko MORE than she fears her) and then she is stopped from killing Mai by Ty Lee this makes her less restrained because she's now on her own directly under Ozai.
When Ozai goes off to burn the world, she no longer has any restraints and just loses herself in her own ego, it's why Zuko for once ACTUALLY had a chance to beat her in a straight fight, she was 'slipping'.
She wasn't a victim that was made evident in the media featuring her but she was so wrapped up in her ego that her own delusions made her BELIEVE she was the hurt party.
I always get psychopaths and sociopaths mixed up--even after looking up the definitions of both.
Azula was fucking NUTS. And that's okay for a character to be.
As Iroh said, "No, she's crazy, and she needs to go down."
Seeing her finally become Fire Lord, at the very instant it becomes a worthless figurehead position, was so fucking satisfying. One of the many reasons I adore those 61 episodes as much as I do.
Its because they are made up terms made to evoke emotional responses in the courtroom. They aren't real or even diagnosable, its literally just "she's crazy!" with a fancier sounding word.
There really isn't a distinction between these terms
The music at the start of that final Agni Kai is sublime.

Also for anyone who was paying attention throughout the series you can see just how much control Azula has lost since her first appearances, going from precise two-finger points when firebending to entire fist thrusts. She was an obvious prodigy as seen when her flames turned blue but still ended up losing to both herself and her brother who in the end took firebending to a completely new level by combining his existing skills with the knowledge from both the progenitors of firebending, the dragons, as well as what his uncle taught him who developed novel techniques observing other bending schools. How he moves his body during the Agni Kai highlights this with his fluid movements, like waterbending, his deflections of incoming attacks, like airbending, and then during his own push the unrelenting force behind his attacks, like earthbending.
Also you can't forget,
Same retarded woke writing that “all women love each other and are victims of a man.” Someone needs to make a list of some tropes.
People REALLY don't like the fact that some people are just bad eggs.
That she's daddy little SS agent doesn't make her abused. You might as well claim Ozai is just a victim of abuse because he grew up in the same way.
Their entire world concept is build around it though. If everyone is just the result of their environment then personal fault doesn't exist. And everyone can be saved.
So if you forgive the most evil person that might change them, right? It also shows the people around you how virtuous you are by being able to forgive even the most evil person.
Oh and even when people see you as the bad egg. Still not your fault ;)
Azula was easily the least likable character in the whole show. I remember it made me so happy to see her finally get beaten.
All three of them form the pudgy brigade. Those are some big heads. Knife girl tops it off. And Kitara is a pudgy little bugger as well.
