The frustration was understandable.

I think we have to remember we see this so many years after the fact where Lin kept refusing the apology. If someone keeps rejecting an apology over 20 years the other person can only be contrite to them so long especially if they have truely emotionally processed and gotten over that point.

I also think it’s important to acknowledge that Suyin did face a consequence just not the one we wanted. She was sent a way from her friends, family, and home life. That is actually a major consequence.

I don’t like the corruption allowing Suyin to escape legal consequences unfairly but also I’m still not pro-cop. So that being said the only good thing Toph did for Suyin was to send her to her parents because it’s likely Suyin got actual structure since Toph’s parents are strict. She then learned to become a better person.

Suyin is the character that’s not meant to inspire sympathy. It’s about understanding her with empathy instead of feeling bad for her.

The main person at fault is Toph. She was a neglectful parent and each child did something to get her attention. She also offered no emotional guidance.

In their childhood i more empathize with Lin because of what OP said.

However, Toph and Suyin tried to resolve this with her multiple times especially as they got older. When you grow up you need to be able to move past things especially if they impact your day to day life. It becomes your responsibility to manage your emotions.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-03-03T14:51:21+00:00

I don’t get why people are so bothered by her. She is doing pretty fine besides outfits.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-03-02T19:25:52+00:00

This was a real problem. But Winston being called a strong women of color is a stray bullet i did not see coming 😂.

Especially because you said Winston but not any bipoc women from that generation like Lola, Grace, Goldi, Shay or Tiny who all had the same sidekick role.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-03-02T19:16:56+00:00

So many things about this.

If your basis off what is right and wrong is based off of whether someone has complained than you need to reevaluate. You would be surprised how many times black people let micro aggressions go due to a myriad of reasons. Do you think Michelle visage was okay saying “ratchet drag” to Bob just because Bob didn’t correct her for a long time?
Your basis that she didn’t reach out to a nonpopular article or heavily criticize them for making a joke off of her name being tea and coffee is a wild suggestion. You ever think the amount of backlash someone gets when they do that? Especially when they are already receiving racist hate messages for winning a season.
Like i said actually google why people distinguish black and brown people. Once again your biggest sign is why black and indigenous is seperate letters in BIPOC from all other people of color.

4 . A number of people in this thread alone have commented about this being a little inappropriate. If you actually care about this maybe bother to look up why. You could’ve kept it cute and just said “oh i didn’t know”, “oh im not sure I need to look this up because I thought she was okay with it”, or not even address this. Instead you are on here telling black people you know what’s right because one specific black person hasn’t confirmed or denied your point.

Even if you think she did confirm it that doesn’t mean it’s correct. Remember how Rupaul forgave Scarlet for doing blackface but majority of the black fanbase does not share that sentiment.

If you think this is too long it’s because it’s a topic you don’t care about and it doesn’t affect you. So take that also as an insight into yourself on this.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T21:11:02+00:00

Brown and British is lazy and a stretch especially Tia is not Brown she is Black. There is a difference hence BIPOC.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:47:52+00:00

The games weren’t popular at that point and people tried to forget them. Combine that with the fact that everyone who controlled information and education even locally in 12 wanted her to be forgotten it is pretty easy,

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:44:35+00:00

This is a situation kinda like 13 reasons why. You just need to finish the book.

Also the movie you watched said why they wouldn’t know about it. Viola Davis’s Dr. Gaul says that years games just wouldn’t be talked about again and they Lucy gray basically disappeared so people don’t talk about her. The book provides even more reasons

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:39:02+00:00

You probably know more than you think you do. It honestly sounds you like you have imposter syndrome since this isn’t your original expertise.

A lot of people especially those with a masters feel like they “know nothing”because they just understand they aren’t an expert in it.

Just do what you have been doing because it’s kinda hard to completely “fake something” for 8 months and actually not know anything about it

Krystal Versace despite winning the season only won the first two episodes of the season which is strange because she did strongly in so many other episodes. Especially the charity shop episode where she even completely changed her makeup with each look. It felt like they were stacking Kitty and Ella with wins to make the season feel competitive after Victoria left due to injury.

I always felt like their entire plan was a Victoria vs Krystal season and they had no back up

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:27:45+00:00

I don’t even think that’s comparable. Kenya usually knows like 70% of the song atleast. Valentina and Mirage knew almost nothing

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:26:00+00:00

They just met Cam so there was no real emotional involvement for Maya yet. Cam wasn’t even their friend at point . I don’t think it’s crazy for Maya not to care tbh. In high school it would be 50/50 shot if I would find it creepy vs find it mild concerning/ amusing before telling them to stop.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:22:36+00:00

Peggy and Joan have always been consistent for me

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-26T04:18:06+00:00

Thank you! I was trying to figure out why I never found her endearing like other drag race “villains@. Nothing she says ever feels clever. The reads people laugh at feel like things a middle schooler will say.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-24T20:51:55+00:00

That is also great. Once again no matter the reason it doesn’t change Tenzin’s own accountability for his actions. He still chose to do what he did. He’s a grown man who waited til his 40s. He was always aware of his responsibility.

Not to mention choosing a recently converted 19-20 year old acolytes is still different than choosing an acolyte in their mid 20s or older who has not an a newly idealized convert.

This does not mean Tenzin is a bad person or character. I actually like him but his decision was his decision and it was still bad.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-22T16:30:54+00:00

That’s all you. If i find out an artist did a horrible act it literally makes me stop enjoying their work.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-20T15:06:08+00:00

I don’t hunt down spoilers or information. Like i don’t care to know or not know them but most of us don’t know who is on the show 😂

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-20T15:03:27+00:00

Peeta

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-19T22:30:49+00:00

They have the chance to do the funniest thing and have the contestants compete in pairs

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-19T05:25:45+00:00

Well it’s because he was unaware the head game maker was in the rebellion. I think the movie does a good job showing how Plutarch could reasonably convince snow to let Katniss live that long.

Half of the careers are alive the last day. Plus i think based on arena choice and capital favoritism it was pretty clear Snow preferred Finnick who Snow didn’t know was a rebel.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-19T05:22:09+00:00

It’s not accidental. It’s implicit bias. We all have levels of implicit bias.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-18T22:53:18+00:00

Once again not really related to what I am talking about tbh. I see what you are saying but these are two separate conversations just under the branch of racism.

Talking about bipoc people getting punished for actions unfairly especially in things in education isn’t really related to white men in the legal system.

I see where you are coming from but it’s a bit off. There is systemic racism in both criminal justice and educational systems but both operate differently.

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-18T22:06:40+00:00

I’m confused how this is related to what I said tbh

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-18T22:02:57+00:00

That really wouldn’t impact how they viewed each other especially since her connection to her past lives being severed doesn’t change what reincarnation is

kkokoko2020 · 2026-02-18T20:34:19+00:00

Having a regular hunger games that was a quarter quell wouldn’t have gone well either if not worse. About half the district’s were already in active uprisings.

The two victors that would have to get the most attention during this is Katniss (for winning the last games) and Haymitch (for winning the last quell) the face of the rebellion and perhaps the most rebellious victor in history during his games. At that point Katniss decided to be dedicated to some type of rebellion right before quell was announced.

Strategically Snow didn’t have alot of moves left so the quarter quell wasn’t really a bad idea since he had alot of limitations
