Talk:Kataang vs Zutara

From Fanlore
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I'm not in this fandom and thus have not participated either way, however I do feel that at the moment this page leans heavily against Kataang shippers and could use more citations. For example, "more extreme shippers launched smear campaigns against Bryke, who they felt "ruined" the series to satisfy their own egos" is a bold, very negative statement that especially could use some citations. "Some even went as far as to say all Zutara shippers were delusional idiots" is also a very aggressive statement against Kataang shippers. Due to this, and because I feel it also lacks a Kataang perspective, I'll be placing a PPOV template on it. Patchlamb (talk) 22:07, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Removed those statements and edited some of the others, added more citations and examples.Sj2014 (talk)
Thanks! That looks a lot better and the citations should help the article a lot. Patchlamb (talk) 20:27, 1 April 2021 (UTC)


Dead links

Re: the Deadlinks that Sobqjmv sphinx marked (thanks for flagging those!), are these links suitable replacements?

1. "and claim Zuko "understands Katara better".<ref>[https://drunkzutarafeels.tumblr.com/post/34766976921/and-so-a-lot-of-katara-hate-a-la-southern-raiders And so a lot of Katara hate a la Southern Raiders arises.] {{Dead link}}</ref>"

Suggested replacement: https://www.tumblr.com/sokkastyles/655152960103432192/is-it-just-me-or-when-katara-says-aang-dont, Archived version

2. "In turn, some more extreme Kataang shippers began to accuse Zutara shippers of projecting onto Katara because they want to hook up with Zuko themselves<ref>[https://ssapphicmara.tumblr.com/post/647031294684954624/just-bc-zuko-was-older-had-a-scar-and-a-bad-boy just bc zuko was older, had a scar and a “bad boy image” doesn’t mean that katara had to like him] {{Dead link}}</ref>"

Suggested replacement: uhhhh haven't found one w/ a half hour of looking, sorry

3. "Kataang shippers have become far more aggressive in their defense of their ship, due to Zutara fans who they believe to willfully misinterpret the characters and the show. <ref>[https://neurologicaldamage.tumblr.com/post/646946267815182336/aang-was-infatuated-with-katara-not-in-love-with Aang was infatuated with Katara, not in love with her]"

Suggested replacement: uhh,these are both from the anti-kataang side, but seem to cover some of the same keywords as the link. still need to find actual kataang defense posts, but here

I haven't carefully read all of these posts (I really don't enjoy shipwank in this fandom) but hope some of these are helpful. -- Quaelegit (talk) 12:00, 24 April 2023 (UTC)

Deleted ship war history content

Hi Zion, thank you for your additions to this article, but please do not remove other fan opinions. Fanlore follows a policy of PPOV, where we strive to include many fannish POVs on our articles. If we think some of these fan opinions are being presented as factual rather than as opinions, or the article is written in an inflammatory way, let's discuss that here instead of deleting fan opinions. For now, I have restored the removed content. Thanks! -- FBV (talk) 00:24, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

Zutara Week & Zutara Forever FB group

Hi Ephemform, thanks for the numerous improvements to this page. I noticed that during the changes, the links section + two links were removed:

==Links==
* [https://zutaraweek.tumblr.com/ Official Zutara week]
* [https://www.facebook.com/groups/2752843924967592 Zutara forever]

I think these links are still live and on-topic, I'd like to restore them if possible. Let me know what you think, thanks! -- FBV (talk) 23:53, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

I added them back in under Meta and Further Reading. --MPH 18:06, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
Whoops, I'll add them as "Links" instead, as that's what they were. --MPH 18:07, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I moved both sections further down on the page.--MPH 18:08, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
