I love to laugh.

If anyone would like to give me a fandom that you'd like me to share three of my unpopular (or "likely to piss off someone somewhere") opinions about, feel free to comment.

I've done this meme before, but I never talked about the fandoms I wanted to talk about. The last time, it was just Disney and Teen Titans. HIT ME UP, PLEASE?

(If you don't know my fandoms, just look through my userpics. If there's something you think I'd be familiar with but isn't in my userpics or interests, go ahead and ask!)

Most of the time when I saw comments about how Azula HAS to be gay, it's mostly because of how much of a villain she was, which ... yeah, I don't even know. Her friendship with the girls is one of the main factors, though. Either way, I'm all right with Azula being gay or bisexual (I do like Azula/Ty Lee), but I also enjoy her with male characters from time to time. The fandom assumption that she should only be paired off with girls is really annoying. :/ (And yes, fandom is stupid. Extremely stupid.)

The boy slash, yeah, you're right. It's boring. I like boy slash from time to time, but I get bored with it if it isn't done right. In Avatar, it's practically nonexistent for me. Like, Zuko/Sokka I enjoy. Roku and Sozin is another one I don't mind, but I prefer thinking of them as friends. All in all, the fic has to be REALLY convincing for me. If the guys are just reduced to yaoi stereotypes, I lose interest fast.

Oh no, it wasn't so much the emotion of the finale that bothered me, that was great! I love that everyone got a happy ending. It was some of the details of the finale that started to bug me, or how the story ended for some of the characters. Little things, like how I preferred for Zuko to find out about his mother instead of having that left in the dark.

I didn't like it when people bitched about the finale in a tone that it was THE WORST FINALE TO A SHOW EVER though, because it's stupid. Especially when they complained about Ozai's fate. Aang agonized over it. He didn't not kill Ozai because he was a wimp, and I hate it when people say he was. He didn't do it because he genuinely couldn't live with himself if he killed Ozai, and he felt like there was another option available to him, somewhere. He found a way to stop Ozai without having to murder him, and to me, that speaks of his strength more than just settling to kill him. It was also a bigger punishment for Ozai, who was so used to being powerful and controlling others (such as his children).

I have never seen that, but I have seen people be extremely butt hurt over their Azula/guy pairing not be as popular as say Ty Lee and Azula, and then whine and whine about how Azula isn't gay and whatever and TOTALLY LIKES THE MEN. And it is like dude, shut up.

But then I don't read Azula pairings in general, like with Azula, she is my least favorite of the Dangerous Ladies, and outside of Ty Lee/Azula, I have very little interest in her by herself.

I do have boyslash pairings that I like a WHOLE LOT, but not in Avatar. Avatar, I am very much women focused.

The only things that got me in the finale was I felt the thing with Azula slid a bit too much "give a woman power, and she goes crazy" complete with the hair cutting. That bothered me, and the lack of women in The Order of White Lotus.

I am not a detail oriented person which is why things like that don't bug me as much, which I think makes me odd in fandom, because a lot of people seem to be detail oriented.
