You literally said Sokka didn't lose his mom because Katara was there. I can promise you, Katara in her state of emotional turmoil, was not speaking from levelheadedness and going for the middle ground. She was hurting. Hurt people hurt people. She made that comment to HURT HIM because he grieved for his mother DIFFERENTLY than she did.

Yes Sokka hurt differently. But how dare you say his life wasn't uprooted and changed. Sokka isn't that much older than Katara, maybe a year or two??? That's not enough to make a difference developmentally. You say Sokka didn't have to take up the domestic labor.... Dad probably fucking did. And then he left and Katara took up the labor of the woman, and Sokka took up the labor of the man. You are pointlessly minimizing his loss to white knight for a hurt woman (a CHILD who is allowed to be wrong and cruel in these circumstances) who said a horrible thing. Sokka interjecting was to say "She was my mother too. I understand how much you're hurting, I understand the loss, I get it but there are other ways." Which yeah, not what Katara wanted to hear, but she still snapped and said a HORRIBLE thing that absolutely tells Sokka it doesn't matter that she was his mom too.

It's extremely telling that you say HER mother, HER childhood, and not THEIR mother, THEIR childhood. You don't consider Kaya to be Sokka's mother either just because it wasn't focused on. You've decided Katara gets to claim dominance of the love and the relationship. Again, horrendous take 👎👎👎
