Be honest, the 2-11 bracket wasn't the source of hardcore Kataang and Zutara shippers. That was all teenagers or older. It's fine to call out Bryke for trolling their fanbase, because that was mean. But lets not pretend that they decided to side against a bunch of seven-year-olds in a shipping war. For starters, the seven-year-olds all knew that Kataang was endgame. AtLA wasn't subtle.

Not hardcore shippers, no. But you never shipped anything as a preteen? I definitely did. And one of my ships from that age that I still ship to this day didn't become canon. I can't imagine how hurt preteen me would have felt if the creator for that had used fanart to mock my preferred ship and then said "Thanks for most of the fanart through the years."

Not in the fandom-accepted "my ship is my life" sense that would have been crushed if a creator gently teased about it, no. If 10-year-old you would have been destroyed by a video pointing out that Zurara would never happen, then 10-year-old you needed to take a step back. I liked Danny/Valerie better than Danny/Sam, but I knew damn well it wasn't going to happen. Having that pointed out in a public setting is less offensive than you think to people who have some sense of perspective about shipping cartoon characters.
