UHM, GUYS AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER WAS AMBIGUOUS~

[turtleyurtle1]

I MEAN HELLO, IT IS AN ANIME AND ALL ANIMES ARE AMBIGUOUS.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "CONTEXT" WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. WHY WOULD THE "DEFAULT" RACE CHANGE WITH THE PLACE IN THE WORLD IN WHICH THE ART PIECE WAS MADE? ART AND LETTERS AND CULTURE AND CRAP DOESN'T MAKE IT LESS AMBIGUOUS!!!!1111

DUH, AANG REFLECTS WHATEVER YOU WANT HIM TO BE, GAWD.

Have you met Ichigo Kurosaki? He's Swedish.

[turtleyurtle1]

Ichigo Kurosaki is a ttly swedish name.

TTLY.

I MEAN, IF THESE CHARACTERS WERE ASIANS, THEY'D HAVE SLANTY EYES OR SOMETHING. SO CLEARLY, THEY'RE QUITE AMBIGUOUS~ STILL.

[summerbutterfly]

Ttly. Just ignore him speaking Japanese like he was born there. Or something.

[turtleyurtle1]

I MEAN, ASIANS SPEAK ASIAN NOT ENGLISH, DUH.

[turtleyurtle1]

I mean, JUST BECAUSE THEY USE CHOPSTICKS DOESN'T MEAN THE GAANG IS ASIAN. I USE CHOPSTICKS. THAT DOESN'T MAKE ME ASIAN.

SERIOUSLY AND EVERYONE HAS THOSE STUPID POINTY STRAW HATS LIKE ZUKO

YES I AM A BITCH IDGAF <3

[franzetta]

HOW DARE THOSE ANTI-CASTERS

IT ISN'T EXPLICITLY STATED THAT ANY OF THEM ARE, IN FACT, INUIT, ASIAN, WHITE, HISPANIC, ETC. THIS IS ALL GUESS-WORK DONE BY FANS BASED UPON WHAT BRYKE HAS SAID OF WHICH ETHNICITY INFLUENCED WHICH TRIBE/NATION/KINGDOM/ETC. AND IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY IN THE MOVIE, YOU CAN TELL THAT NO ONE RACE (IN OUR TERMINOLOGY) IS REPRESENTED SOLELY IN ANY OF THE NATIONS.

DO YOU WANT THE CHARACTERS TO LOOK LIKE THEIR CARTOON COUNTERPARTS BROUGHT TO LIFE, OR DO YOU WANT SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO ACT?
