It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I think it's important to the vibes of the show in general. The point of Aang's journey isn't "grr the fire nation killed my family now I need revenge." The catalyst for his fight against the fire nation is Roku telling him that Sozin's Comet is coming soon and that Ozai is going to lead another major invasion with it. Until that point Aang mostly just wants to help Katara learn to waterbend.

I see, these make a lot of sense. It also helps to create a slow burn for pay off of a battle with Ozai. Thank you! @[email protected]

Edit: You'll cringe for this, but that sort of makes sense for Netflix to not have an elephant koi detour. I think the impetuous being the air temple + a vision for the comet would be a snappy pace befitting a few seasons of a Netflix show.
