✨Let Katara Kill Yon Rha✨
Fuck the docile, innocent, gentle female character archetype! Let women be angry!
Let’s stop this narrative of “forgiveness is the only way” and “killing will only poison yourself and make you just as bad as them.” This rule seems to only apply to women, and that needs to change.
Ones personal experience is not singular, and just because someone else may feel darkness from killing their oppressor doesn’t mean the other person will.
Let women define justice on their own terms, without unwanted male interference.
I honestly think that making Yon Rha a sniveling little pathetic guy is the only way they could justify him not being killed.
It wasn’t like he was some random mugger who killed her mom in a moment of desperation, or a footsoldier who killed Kya on the battlefield, he was a brutal, high-ranking (remember he was the commander of the whole Southern Raiders) officer of imperialism who seemed to relish in his job killing a civilian.
If he had any sort of more “gentle” fate, like becoming a noble or becoming a famous local for his service or even just a dude happy in his retirement, content with what he had done to get it, then the question becomes “well, why SHOULDN’T she kill him?” (Aside from her being 14/15 and that maybe being a bit too young to kill, lmao).

We should make a petition for Katara to murder Yon Rha in the live action show. Get thousands of signatures and send that shit to Netflix. Make our voices heard!! lmao
Seriously though, all of the above is amazing and I couldn’t agree more. Tired of women being told we’re deficient if we can’t forgive violence against us, then applying that shitty logic to fictional characters.
We don’t owe our perpetrators forgiveness (we don’t owe them anything!) and I won’t apologize for wanting Katara to freeze her mother’s murderer solid and then shatter him into a million human ice cubes. Hell, if she wanted to sink the Southern Raiders’ boat to the bottom of the ocean and skate over their watery graves I’d applaud her!
Yes, I am an angry victim of abuse, and yes I’d love to see fictional girls merc their oppressors and perpetrators. Sorrynotsorry
