If you don't ship anything in Avatar, then GTFO!
This wank has a couple of days behind it, but since I know that everyone here enjoys a good 'ol batshit paring war with delusional shippers, I thought it'd be okay.

Anyway, the resident Harmonians of the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom called the Zutara (Zuko/Katara) shippers (or Zutarians) start wanking on Wiki for not allowing any Zutara material to be posted or discussed on their website.

It all starts with Prototime stating that he's tired of the mother fuckin' Zutara fans on his mother fuckin' Wiki. But things heat up when he says the following- "Zutara" is a purely speculative relationship that has no valid basis, despite attempts of some fans to throw together circumstantial evidence and interpreting it in a way to support their fantasies.

Like little shipper bees to honey, the Zutarians show up and 3, 2, 1... wank.

A mouse states that if Zutara is "band", all other parings for Avatar should be "banded" as well. H2P steps in and gets all JKR on the fandom by calling all hints of Zutara to be delusional. This makes the mouse think that clearly H2P has never shipped an Avatar ship before and that the thoughts of Zutara happening was on par with the Theory of Relativity. (Oh shippers, you're just trying too hard!)

The mouse later gives herself the name of "DJ Zutara and Taang FOREVER" and proceeds to hound H2P about oppressing the gold that is Zutara. A couple of other people respond to DJ telling her that Wiki is not the place, but she only comes back for more to ask H2P to answer her questions.

A second mouse kindly tells DJ to pack up her bad grammar and leave, but this only results in more fansqueeing, complete with "OH NO U DI'NT OPRESS ME!".

A second Zutara shipper steps in sometime later. Arowen Half-Elven boldly proclaims "And, hate to break it to ya, I'm an American, this is a FREE country, we have freedom of speech and press, and you CANNOT keep us from posting Zutara or other parings on this talk page". Someone should remind her that the internet isn't only America, thus American rights only can go so far.

And it's a downward spiral of wank from there. DJ just keeps coming back for more, while others attempt to stamp Wiki = FACT, Zutara = FICTION (as of right now) into her brain.

It all ends with this lovely gem-
Geez, using Wiki to push your shipper delusions is beyond sad. You should all be embarrassed.


I know I'm embarrassed for my fandom.

Edit: The Zutara fandom explodes. Would you like some cheese with your whine? (WARNING- there are spoilers to the second season finale in that post!)
