DANTE BASCO SHIPS ZUTARA! OH NOES!!!
Pulled from a mouse over at [info]wank_report

So, some Zutarians in the Avatar fandom are putting together an animated redo of the Avatar finale that is more friendly to their ship. And a lot of people are just like “Whatever, they can do what they want”

Well then Dante Basco became involved by apparently agreeing to lend his voice to the project. (The project apparently is being mainly organized over at Deviantart)

And the Zutarians are happy and gleeful and excited, and everything is great and wonderful.

BUT WAIT!

The announcement gets posted over at Avatarspirit.net, and then the opposing shippers, Kataangers or whatever, go crazy. (The note, apparently ASN is going through maintenance, so the link may be on and off, i am going to try and screen cap if need be, but as of now the links are working.)


So to start off Lizard Man begins with the questions, and then remarks how it is probably just going to be the finale with stupid Zuko and Katara making out and is just wish fulfillment.

Others bring up that the project could be disrespectful to Bryan and Mike, and other question whether using Dante’s voice is a form of copyright infringement. Some people try to be the voice of reasoning saying to just let it go,

But then bumi3 comes in with this wonderful gem:

"My fellow Avatar fans minus the Zutarian menace. This is the darkest time in Avatar Fandom history. I can assure you that Anonymous would put an end to these rumors and the "project" they are planning. Even as we speak, there are hundreds of people out there sending copyright infringement reports to Viacom. If this fails, we would have to take drastic measures. Let's pray that this shall never come to pass."

Then it kicks up another level when Kaelis Ra overreacts by posting a giant ugly thing (I don’t even know what that is) and brings the capslock overreaction (with bad grammar and spelling still intact):

"THERE IS NOT ENOUGH RAGE REACTION IMAGES IN THE WORLD FOR HOW I FEEL

SERIOUSLY, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

thank you for completly destroying the last tiny shreds of respect i had for the avatar fandom.

i hope you get sued for copyright infirngement

goodbye ASN."

At this display, the mods step in and lock the post.

It is then brought up at TWOP which leads to a couple of more choice bits like:

"When I think of the voice actors helping, it just makes me think of enabling a bratty child."

"this is just tremendously disrespectful towards Brian and Mike"

"the thing is that if these people accept they are ignominious ingrates with a futile bias it would be one thing." This poster then goes on to link to a tl;dr anti-Kataang manifesto and rant about all the things he hates about Zutarians.

As an added bonus, here is Dante Basco reading some lines from Zutarians, apparently he reads or says something about Mai being fat, and I am sure this is starting some wank up somewhere but I am a bit too lazy to really try and find it.

My fellow Avatar fans minus the Zutarian menace.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thought, "Avatar Wars, Episode One: The Zutarian Menace."

Man, these people just can't be happy with open-ended finales, can they?

I'm pretty sure that Basco must know what he's doing, but I still find it hard to believe that he would actually be allowed to do this.

Also: HAW HAW HAW MEN ARE FROM ZUTARA AND WOMEN ARE FROM KATAANG.

On one hand, writing their own ending, whilst as pointless as the Harmonian HP rewrites, isn't in itself anything wrong. (Though if it includes bitchy comments about the canon girlfriend, somewhat petty)

I'm just more than a little surprised the VA is willing to go along, or at least go along for more than one or two lines at a con.

That said, the Kataang people really aren't making their side look good here.

Zutaran Menace! That beats delusional any day. I think I may have to make an icon for that.

THERE IS NOT ENOUGH RAGE REACTION IMAGES IN THE WORLD FOR HOW I FEEL

Never has the phrase 'take a chill pill' been more apt. If they suffer this much rage for fandom randomness, I'd hate see what they get like about some real injustice.

I sort of can't get past the fact that the Zutarians are animating their own ending. Everything else is tame in comparison to be honest. It takes a lot more righteous wankery and fan entitlement to do that than to post a few capslocktastic replies on a forum.

And although I'm sure Bosco is just doing it for the lulz, I kind of agree with this? When I think of the voice actors helping, it just makes me think of enabling a bratty child.

whether using Dante’s voice is a form of copyright infringement

That's actually kind of an interesting question. My gut tells me that if it's a distinctive voice invented just for the character, then maybe, although it'd be more likely to be a trademark.

Of course, it sidesteps the whole issue of the entire project being copyright infringement.

Also, I can't be the only one who thinks bluetarako and the other Zutarans are reading too much into Basco's expression of interest. "Yeah, sounds interesting, tell me more" quickly got turned into "ZOMG ZUTARA IS TEH BESTSEST~!"

I'm just glad that the drama-inviting post someone made about this at the Mai/Zuko community only lasted a few hours before it was apathy-ed to death and the OP deleted it upon realizing that 95% of the community didn't give a shit.

They also made a video advertising the project for any interested talent. Mostly not noteworthy, beyond a lot of butthurt and misuse of the word 'plot hole'. But then at 1:44 there's a bit of hilarity: a piece of fanart featuring Zuko crying on his scar side (which he cannot do because of massive tissue damage), followed almost immediately by the claim that they have 'the best artists on Deviantart'. LOL, alright then.

I'd heard of the project before and shrugged about it, but this bit of wankery has my attention:

there are hundreds of people out there sending copyright infringement reports to Viacom.
