Yes. This. I said the same thing farther down, but I have always wondered what people have always expected Mai to do. If she went against Azula, everybody was in danger, including her family.

Re: 103

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

Someone said elsewhere that Mai may have just trusted Azula to take care of things -- I think that's also a valid way to look at it. But yeah, whether it was "Azula's going to do what she wants and there's no way I can stop her without putting Tom Tom in danger" OR "Azula knows what she's doing and if I don't work with her I'LL put Tom Tom in danger"....either way, Mai did what seemed like the smart, safe thing, and I do not at all blame her.

Re: 103

[lalachoy.livejournal.com]

I'd never heard that one, but that does make sense and I could see Mai thinking that way. Either way, I don't blame her either. She played it safe and in the end, everything was fine. I can't find it in me to dislike her over something like that when there are characters in the show that did a lot worse.

Re: 103

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

Haha yes! Like Zuko! WHO HIRED AN ASSASSIN TO KILL AANG XD

I mean, I love Zuko to iddy biddy pieces, obviously, but the fandom double-standard kind of blows my mind a little.

Re: 103

[lalachoy.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean. I like Zuko too, but my God, he did so much worse than Mai ever did. But he 'redeemed' himself (and he really did, so I'm not saying he didn't, y'know?), so all is forgiven. Mai saving Zuko will NEVER be enough. NEVER.

Re: 103

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

I remember watching TBR the first time and saying to my friend, "Mai just saved Zuko AND Sokka AND Suki AND Hakoda and EVERYONE IN FANDOM IS STILL GOING TO HATE HER."

Arg, I hate being right about fandom DX

Re: 103

[lalachoy.livejournal.com]

If Mai hadn't done anything, the entire world probably would have been doomed. STILL. She didn't act heroic enough in the beginning! Let's hate her forever!

I know, right? And no matter how hard you try to explain, it never gets through. Ever. Depressing stuff.

Re: 103

[ali-wildgoose.livejournal.com]

*cheers herself with further TBR icons* <3

Re: 103

[lalachoy.livejournal.com]

*is over here jealous* I seriously need some Avatar icons. Period. I don't even know why I don't have any since I love the show so much.

Re: 103

[pkbitchgirl.livejournal.com]

But, but, she stole Zuko from Katara!!!!!

Seriously, can you think of any other reason why a lot of fans don't like her?

I'm in the Stargate Atlantis fandom and there's one probable-basement dweller who bashes Torri Higginson (she's old, ugly, a hag, Torri's in secret 105 of today's post, on the left, would you use any of those words to describe her?) because the character she played was a threat to the idiot's OTP, and whilst not stooping to the idiots level and bashing the actor, plenty of people bash Elizabeth Weir for the same reason.

I'd say it's pretty safe to say that its also true of the Avatar fandom.

As Mai says in an infamous deviation on Deviant Art: "They're just jealous because I'm hitting it"
