The air nomads essentially lived in full luxury vegan communism until the fire nation genocided them. They were also the only nation to not have any homophobic or sexist customs, although weirdly the temples were segregated between men and women.
Lmao it literally sounds like pro-air nomad propaganda
"Yeah the air nomads never did anything wrong and just gave everybody hugs and then they got genocided"
But like... they didn't do anything wrong? They were pacifists who lived on big mountain and meditated
No they didn't do anything wrong which is sort of the critique. The show depicted the other nations as having their flaws and problems, but was ultimately still respectful which is good. The water nation was sexist, the Earth Nation was oppressively, the fire nation is racist and propagandized.
But the air nomads? There was no real lesson or nuance there, they were just depicted as this perfect, lost culture. Which would be fine if they just didn't want to get into that, but by naming people after the Dali Lama they are sort of making it political, and essentially endorsing feudal Buddhism and connecting it to the real world.
Sorry I'm not accusing you of being an air nomad propagandist, I'm saying if someone described a culture like that to me IRL, I would automatically assume they were selling me bullshit.
No you can accuse me of being an air nomad propagandist, they were a glorious and prosperous nation before the fire nation attacked
Also if I knew anything about Avatar then I think a Fire Nation Stan who attacks the entire plot of Avatar as propaganda would be a great bit account
