He's probably a little sexist, like many fifty-something men can be. That may disappoint some fans but still doesn't make him a monster.
The fact that he deleted that post and later reblogged some feminist stuff suggests he wasn't intentionally being an asshole and he's willing to learn from his mistakes (he even said some homophobic stuff back in 2008, now he's reblogging pro gay rights entries and m/m slashpics).
Sorry for the OT anyway.

It takes a stereotype to absurd levels. What you make of it is a Rorschach test. It's not any different from, say, the bit in Airplane where two black passengers speak "jive" as if it was a language, or where an African tribe turns out to be masters of basketball mere moments after being shown how it's played.

If it were up to people like you, comedians would only ever make jokes about the weather and even then they'd be afraid of the backlash from overly sensitive weatherman.

When a joke is as poorly thought out as a Carlos Mencia joke, relying purely on "lol racism" than go ahead and be offended. But don't miss the actual core of the joke that an old white lady knew how to speak jive in Airplane! Turning stereotypes on their head or making snide commentary about them is the essence of comedy.

>But don't miss the actual core of the joke that an old white lady knew how to speak jive in Airplane!

Um. No. The actual core of the joke was taking "Jive" to an absurd extreme. Mrs. Brady knowing how to speak it was a follow up joke, but people were laughing when the two dudes were "speaking jive" WELL before she even showed up.

>If it were up to people like you, comedians would only ever make jokes about the weather and even then they'd be afraid of the backlash from overly sensitive weatherman.

The fuck are you talking about? Where did I say that ANY kind of joke is bad? I said it's a joke that takes a stereotype and blows it ridiculously out of proportion. It's not saying the stereotype is true, nor is it saying it's false. It's just a stereotype that's been Hulked Out with gamma radiation. There's no way to tell what the joke-teller or joke-poster actually feels.

Oh my god! Exaggeration! That's like the opposite of comedy, right? We should never exaggerate stereotypes to point out how ridiculous they are!

Considering how terrible you are at comedy, I should inform you that I was being sarcastic.

...Where in the WORLD are you getting the idea that I said that's the opposite of comedy? Seriously, quote me the part where I said something that made you think I was attacking the joke. I'm genuinely befuddled here. Do you think I was hating on Airplane? What the hell?

My stance is simply that it's idiotic to try and take anything away from the joke about how he views women, because the entire extent of the joke is a stereotype inflated to the level of being funny. You can laugh at it if you think the stereotype is true, you can laugh at it if you think the stereotype is baloney. You can't take anything away from it about the guy that posts it.

What the hell, man? What the hell?

The question of how she would be portrayed as a Lesbian as a Lesbian is a valid one, although to be honest for all we know Yue's relationship with Sokka was a full blown 'If it's You it's Okay' type thing
>> No. 107434
>>107425
To be fair, Azula wasn't really portrayed as heterosexual either. In the Beach Azula couldn't be less interested in Chan, she was just trying to add another name to her long list of conquests.

That total lack of interest in boys and her chemistry with Ty Lee is enough for most people to make the assumption that she's a lesbian. Other than Zuko, there's not a single other male that Azula has any sort of possible romantic connection with.
>> No. 107439
I am 100% sure people are going to make a headcannon assumption that Azula is a lesbian in a Tyzula thread. Saying she isn't defeats the purpose
>> No. 107440
>>107434
How can you possibly say she's never shown to have any interest in boys when her entire conversation with Ty Lee in the middle of that episode is about how much it bothers her that she has trouble talking to boys.
>> No. 107445
Eh. This is going to be way too serious and "armchair psychologist" but...

Azula is a "Cluster B Personality Disorder" sampler, with some elements of Antisocial personality disorder, Borderline personality disorder, and Narcissistic personality disorder. It's not well studied, but it does look like people suffering from Cluster B disorders are less likely to be comfortably heterosexual, and more likely to be homosexual, bisexual, or suffering from a sexual interest/arousal disorder. Not something there's been a proper direct study of, however.

(My own pet theory is that it's likely to be something at an epigenetic level, where some people are genetically at risk of developing a Cluster B personality, and an inability to form what society considers a "normal relationship" puts them even more at risk).

Anyway, point was that she displays a bunch of traits we file under Cluster B, and crude indirect data seems to indicate that if you're cluster be you're less likely to be heterosexual, and more likely to be either homosexual, bisexual, or possessing little to no sex drive.

There, I've officially given this far too much thought.

Please people, let's not make this into a THIS IS PROOF discussion. There's no actual evidence that she actually is gay or bi. Likewise, there's no evidence she couldn't be bi. Also, if you really want to see her as gay, plenty of gay people start off pursuing straight relationships due to denial or just being confused; both of which would fit her quite well.

Live and let live. Let's not be Zutarians.
>> No. 107456

Because when Azula actually does have a conversation with a boy (Chan), it's clear she really couldn't care less for him.

The only person Azula has shown care for is Ty Lee. Also arguably Zuko, but everyone gets into that whole "Azula always lies" chant when it comes to him and Azula.
>> No. 107459
She is a fictional character who has not stated an exclusive preference for men or women so this whole argument is fucking stupid. No one cares. Get back to posting Azula and Ty Lee kissing, that is what this thread is for.

also lmao if you think azula is capable of loving anyone at all, in any meaning of the word
