They pretend not to understand what the problem is because it's easier to tear down "implicit perverts expect perfection" vs "the creators didn't even try."
Either they're strawmanning, or they really are that stupid and have bought the lie themselves.
They pretend not to understand because they know they can't actually win the argument headon.
So they draw you out to explain yours in more words than is needed, waiting for a slip up they can pounce on. They even show you how they intend to do it on their shows. They wait for a minor opening, then blow it up to make you lose frame and come across as someone that can be dismissed as crazy/evil.
And if you argue against them successfully enough they shut down into "lolumad" trolling or simply calling you X label to avoid having to engage with anything you said.
One of the greatest evils plaguing us all these days is pride, and with it the lack of humility enough to say "yeah I was wrong on this" or even a simple "you clearly know more about the topic than I do so I'll leave it there." That last one isn't even an admission of being wrong, only that you are outgunned and it would only waste time.
They live in the artic. It doesn't even make sense why they are brown in the cartoons. Hell it would actuallly make more sense for the fire nation to be brown, but then that would make brown people the villains.
The Eskimos in real life are one of the few arctic tribal people and they are all pretty brown/red like all Native Indians are, and were the basis for all of those in the show.
The same way the Fire people were roughly North/East Asians and the Air were SEAsian types. Which is why casting a Vietnamese into the Fire Nation is retarded on a whole different level beyond how ugly she looks.
Tribesmen from cold regions tend to be light brown. It has to do with reflected solar radiation from the snow. The same thing happens for high latitude people in the Andes.
Not just fat but also ugly. The Asian women in South Korea would go through painful surgery to shave their squared jaw.
It's like the Netflix live action series of Cowboy Bebop where Fey Valentine who in the anime is a femme fatale got played by a gassed up mid with flat chest and she was all covered up, acting like a girlboss.

Perfectly reasonable and articulate on some topics, then constant goalpost and topic shifting any time a sacred cow comes up.

Didn't they throw a hissy fit when Katara and Sokka weren't brown enough?

The air nomads are tibetans
True, that's a Geography fail on my part because I thought Tibet/Nepal were south of China and not West.
Rest of the point remains. Eskimos are brown and all that.

Having Mai played by a fat actress doesn't work unless she does SERIOUS workouts right now (something that is seemingly expected of for male actors).
She was a nimble martial arts and throwing knife fighter, one that could even put up a fight against powerful benders.
I'm also supposed to believe that Zuko would want her.

Thos is gaslighting, and very female centered gas lighting at that.
Calling everyone a pederast is the the new nazi/ist/phobe.
That's a hell of a lot closer than some of the abomination adaptations I have seen over the years.
