4:35pm: Strong female characters with powers are just blobs of cliche!
Even the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom isn't free of wank, as demonstrated when [info]fairsmithchild shows the community of [info]avatar_fans when she rants on how the only female main character, Katara, is a useless blob of cliche.

I'll copy the entry in question here, because the community owner believes that the internet is made out of sunshine and rainbows and people shouldn't fight in her community.

Blah blah blah, bashing bashing bashing. )

I'm surprised this didn't turn into a shippingwank, considering the first part of the post.

It seems that everyone politely disagrees with [info]fairsmithchild, until [info]amurderofcrows lays the smackdown on Fairsmith, who apparently does this bashing thing a lot.

[info]chirachira suggests that Fairsmith put this bashing/rant in her journal, to which Fairsmith says "So do you mean I'm not allowed to discuss anything controversial on this forum? What is the forum for but for discussion?". A few commenters decide to set Fairsmith straight on what is a "discussion" and what is "bashing".

Fairsmith then whines about opinions, where she gets served by [info]amurderofcrows, who calls "Troll". Fairsmith does the classic "I thought we were friends!", which doesn't seem to work on Crows.

[info]akavertigo steps in with the Troll calling in the form of a photoshopped image. This spurs the usual "Haha, you winz!" vs "SO immature!" miniwank.

There's a little bit of everything if you look at the rest of the wank, but Fairsmith stopped responding to them all (lack of witty comments?).

D'awww, the Avatar fandom is growing up!

Edit: It appears that Fairsmith has been deleting her own comments and her friends are coming to her aid (in the comfort of screened commenting, of course). There might be more to this wank than what we see!
