What made the sexist plot so funny is how he got his ass handed to him by woman very early on in the series iirc

afaik Toph doesn’t appear in season 1 of the liveaction, which makes sense since she also did not appear until season 2 of the actual show

so I don’t know how they’re going to handle it (but it seems to me that they could trivially just have him be ableist towards her?)

Now that I think about it, him beint sexist was used a lot, for example the haiku’s with the women, being beaten by woman, probably some more

My point isn’t whether toph is in the show yet, I just think Sokka’s sexism and journey feels way different if you cut that out of his character

I know Troph made a bunch of blind jokes but I dunno about the other way

as a random tangent, there’s a “screenshot” of an “article” about how they’re cutting either the war in Ba Sing Se, or the governmental coverup of said war, depending on the specific screenshot

and those articles were just completely fabricated, they have said no such thing

well I mean they might cut the war in Ba Sing Se if it doesn’t get renewed for a second season, but

I think that by that point, Suki kinda beat it out of him, and his relationship with Yume probably helped him grow up.

Toph and Sokka were important because of Sokka’s realization of a woman’s talent in combat. He also learned to work with women while fighting alongside toph

if they cut the Main Plot of several episodes yet still feature the other story beats from said episodes I would be Very Confused

I think if you’re writing something for very young children who haven’t had substantial experience with sexism yet, it’s ~reasonable to not want to depict it and inadvertently become an introduction, but you are kidding yourself, live in a bubble, and/or are a cis man who genuinely just doesn’t notice this shit if it’s not directed toward you if you think Avatar’s target audience have never heard somebody be sexist before

That’s doubly true given the show’s creators wanted to make this show a more mature experience overall.

One of the reasons Sokka was an important character is that males 11-16 hear a lot of what Sokka heard growing up. Saying that it should be cut because young people watch is such irony

“Sexism is bad” is something you can’t really tell children if it’s Problematic to depict or mention sexism!
