Welcome to c/writing!
This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.
This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!
Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.
All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

I haven't watched it in a while, granted. Outside of Aangs pacifism, the resolution of which is, I would agree, very lib and one of the weaker parts of the show, I don't recall anything particularly lib. I think it's one of those works where the political messaging in vague enough you could read a variety of interpretations into it.
Honestly I think this need to label all media either "leftist" or "lib" or what have you, is a weird and time wasting obsession of people these days. Yes there's blatant examples of each, Legends of Korra for example is undeniably Lib, but in between those there's a sea of stuff that's open enough for there to be alternative readings. Plus while you can do political analysis of all media, that doesn't mean all media had explicate political messaging.
Overthrowing evil monarch and installing his good bean son on the throne fixes everything
Well... if you read the comics set between ATLA and LoK, it didn't fix everything
Im talking about the show, comics are extended media and have no bearing on the show as a piece of media
glad to hear that tho
Elements of it are incorporated into Korra pretty seamlessly, so I'd say it's "canon-lite"
I don't consider Korra canon
I don't consider Lion Turtles canon then
Thats fine I guess
