My bestest friend told me I was stupid for watching such an unbelievable show like Avatar. To which my response was "If I'm stupid, then how stupid are people who watch SpongeBob?" ~*points to her*~ Unbelievable my a$$. I would find a sole surviving 12 year-old with a a blue arrow tattooed on his head waaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy before I find a talking yellow kitchen sponge under the sea.

I have a friend who HATES Avatar just because the rest of our clique is into it. She shuns my agenda/bookback just becasue it has Atlab stickers on it. >< She drives me absolutly INSANE, I hate it when people dislike something when they've never even seen it/read it/listened to it. But, what can I do?
Otherwise the general public accepts Avatar. Everyone always thinks Toph is a guy though....><

No one really makes fun of me. Maybe it comes from the fact that there are much weirder kids than me at my school. Friends will lightheartedly tease me, but they love it too, so whatever. However, there is one very annoying thing. One friend thinks he is a genius and has to save everyone from themselves. So, upon finding out I liked Avatar, he concluded I must be obsessed and that it could not be good for me. He then insisted on giving me a lecture about the evils of obsessions and who knows what else. I was too busy looking at the avatar pictures on my binder to notice

my parents make fun of me for it. Also at school too. Once you read this story, you'll know how mentally challenged some people are at my school in hillbilly hell. In my flex class (it's a thirty-five minute class where you can do your homework or go to band etc, before the school day ends) I was drawing some ATLA art with markers, pencils, colored pencils, etc. This kid came up behind, took the paper and said "Your such a spaz. You watch Avatar?!" In front of my crush! My crush looked at me, but he didn't laugh he just smiled (I melted right at that point) When he started to laugh out loud (everybody heard the joke and was looking in my direction) nobody laughed. They looked at him like he was a alien or something. His friend (who was my crush) said,"Shut up and sit down. You watch Dora the Explorer." Then everyone started to laugh even me. I looked at the boy and said,"You're such a spaz" Revenge is soooo sweet (PS, my crush eventually asked me out a couple of days later!We are now sharing our first anniversary)

I'm too outspoken to get made fun of. That, and university people tend to be a lot more openminded. ;D

Surprisingly a lot of people like it at my (high) school. But no one really admits to watching it until you ask them about it. It's certainly not in vogue, but it's not like a bona fide nerd show either.

There is only ONE guy that makes fun of Avatar, not me really just Avatar. I ignore him though because I know he's going to die of alcohol poisoning or get busted for drug abuse Other people just make fun of anime in general and its pointless to try and explain so I just sigh and carry on. But I liked it when one guy was like "Is that a website for Avatar?" (I was here on the forum) I was like yes and he said "I watched it some, but it just wasn't my cup of tea." See how hard is that to say? I watched it but I don't like it that well. HOW HARD IS IT?! You know if people don't like what I do that is just fine with me everyone has their opinion, but don't make fun of it! Thats just stupid and shows how narrow minded you are. I mean people who diss Avatar watch movies or shows that kill your brain cells with their stupidity and have no plot whatsoever. OH WAIT! Now I remember I was in lunch and this "friend" was making fun of me for being nerdy because I had just found out the news that Avatar was going to be made a movie then get this; The high school principal talked to me about Avatar AND defended me!

Wow...some of your stories seem really embarassing. I'm fortunate I have yet to have faced a school embarassment of ATLAB. I know to other people the show can seem childish, but really, what shows on nick arent? Everyone has something they do/watch that is someone childish, so everyone who makes fun of us for watching avatar, ooo i wish i knew what they watch cuz its prolly worse. It really bugs me tho how people make fun of it when they haven't even seen it. My friend the other day was like that show is soo stupid with the kid with the blue line on his head and the big dog. I was like wow, you prolly just flipped past the channel and saw Aang's tatto and Appa. If someone sits with me and watches a full episode and still hates it, i will respect their dislike of it.

some dude went into paint at my school and drew the avatar. He was making fun of it because Aang was wearing a dress and a Water Tiara. I told him the arrow was blue, and he was all No it's not. I watch Avatar and it's not. I was all dude so do I and it's blue.

omg, One time, in my Yearbook class, when we were free exploring (whatever we want on computers), I went on DH forums and these 2 kids who look like pigs and who always try to annoy me saw me on it and they just kept laughing like ret***** hyenas and that really pis*** me off! And another time, during lunch, one of the pigs were like "Ooh! You watch Avatar? I think firebending is the best!", but I could tell that he didn't mean it, he was like sarcastic or w/e, and I was so embarrassed that I just said that I don't watch it (what else what you do!)!!! I agree with you guys 100% that some ppl are just so stupid that they can't even have the decency of trying something (in this case watching) before dissing it, if they even have to diss it! *gives karma to the poster...*

Oh masterpakku93 ~*blushes*~ When I was in high school no one would admit to watching it, give or take a few people, but yeah, in college, you can openly admit to still watch Sailor Moon and people would be cool with it.

My friend made fun of me because I like it. Which is odd because he likes Dragon Ball Z which is like 10 times worse than Avatar. And not to mention DBZ is just gay. (no offense) Well one day we were and class and I told him not to tell anyone, and he shouts across the room "Hey, did you see that new Avatar episode last night". So then everyone was all asking about it and was making jokes.

^I hate people who do that! Those 2 pigs I talked about... every time I try to be friends with them, they shout on purpose so the teacher could hear and so I would get in trouble or something!
