# 103

I agree to some extent. But the romance in the show did play a part in the characters and their journeys.

As someone who ships canon, I loved seeing Mai turn on Azula because of her love for Zuko. And I loved seeing Aang wrestle with being the Avatar and his duties vs. trying to love and be loved. Seeing them go through those aspects made the characters that much more enjoyable (not that they weren't enjoyable already) and added other dimensions to their stories and to their personalities.

But what I think clouds it is the utter venom spewing from the different sides. Why cant people just enjoy their ships? Why do they need to attach such negativity to it.

Kataang/Maiko happened, but that isn't any reason to behave poorly towards the non-canon shippers.

And just because the canon ships happened there is really no reason for the non-canon shippers to degrade the characters, the story, etc.

The ships wars are nasty and a focus because a) people choose to act that way rather than taking the high road and b) people allowed it to go on.

Exactly. Romance was part of the plot, but not the most important thing ever omg!!1!- there was a pretty good balance. &hearts

Unfortunately shippers took it too far. I mean I've read some stuff by shippers and have been left wondering if we were even watching the same show. I've read comments made by shippers even here that have left me wondering if we are watching the same show.
