I don't like Zuko/Katara so I don't frequent katara_zuko, but I'll occasionally follow a link there from atla_press, and from what I've seen, it seems to be a breeding ground for batshit insanity.
I cannot ever help defending Katara. She does not deserve any of the shit fandom gives her, she's an awesome female character of the kind there should be more of. Calling her a bitch or immature beause she dares to have her own perspective and behave in a totally human way just gets my goat up.
(And yeah, calling out KATARA for being bitchy in The Chase? Seriously? Toph was so, so, much worse, and she was the instigator. I mean, I can understand why she acted like that, but OMG, I wouldn't have reacted any better than Katara.
Besides, it's not like anyone was behaving normally in The Chase. Lack of sleep had taken a toll on everyone. I mean, hell, Aang called her fat. Everyone was bitchy as hell in that episode)
