It's the thing I dislike the most about the LoK series (I haven't seen the last two episodes, so maybe all this is resolved. Fuck if I know.): the non-benders, who are clearly the underclass of society unless they are entrepreneurs or friends with powerful benders, have ample reason to resent benders. Recently, they've been terrorized by criminal benders and the elite police are especially powerful earthbenders. At least three Council members are master benders. And the Avatar has just joined the probending circuit, which means she's focusing her time, which she owes to the world on a game.

Yet, we never see the Equalists in a good light. Amon's public energy bending has been against known or suspected criminals or bullies. Bending is likely seen as a semi-religious power in that world, so Amon, a nonbender, being able to do something only some Avatars could do has to be seen as a sign that something wrong in society needs to be fixed.

But the first thing we see is Korra picking on an Equalist who basically tells her she's privileged. I'm not an SJ Warrior but that was messed up. Korra never recants her stance that Equalists are universally bad. The only nonbenders Korra has been seen to tolerate/possibly like are directly connected to the Air Temple. The only time she takes pity on an enemy is when Tahno's bending, which he openly abused, is taken away. And then she vows to get Amon back for taking it. The power. Tahno abused. She thinks about the welfare of benders first, when she should be focusing on how Equalists hurt everyone, including other nonbenders.

I thought I was going to like a rough-and-tumble Avatar, but Korra is a disappointment. She abuses her privilege, associates with very few nonbenders, and can't mediate issues in the least. All she is is a bully.

Wow. I had heard about the series' flaws, but it being problematic wasn't something I knew. Thanks for the comment. Now I know for sure that the writing and the plot would drive me crazy!

Did you miss the episode where she stood up to Tarrlok for abusing the non-bender population?

[(Anonymous)]

No, I didn't. I said she thinks of benders first, not that she never thinks of nonbenders. Even then, although she goes into the situation mad, she's about to back away until one of the women pleads with her, saying, "You're our Avatar, too."

She is literally the most powerful person in the world and she's about to back down to an injustice.
