I agree with ConcreteAngel! I don't hate Toph because of this new ship. I hate her because of her persnality. She is rude, unfriendly, sassy, and her " Act without thinking " ways are going to get her killed. You obviously didn't watch the second half of the show then. She actually opened up to Aang later in the episode. She was full of resentment over her life, but she obviously began to feel different later in the episode and became very friendly. And I REALLY don't have a clue as to what you mean by her "Act without thinking ways" are. Heck, her entire fighting strategy is based on thought.

Well, we're all entitled to our opinions...I actually kind of like it when there is a mixed reaction to characters- it makes debates intersting! It's actually kind of funny sometimes though; you take Zuko and say you don't like him and suddenly you have no taste but, if you take someone like Haru and dislike him suddenly you make sense...Boy oh boy. >.< Like I posted before, I really enjoy Toph and am glad she is a member of the team right now. She adds tangy-ness! XD

I know people are entitled to their own opinions. It's just that she said that Toph was "unfriendly" as a sort of generalization, and I was thinking that she became more friendly later in the episode. Sorry.

Grandfiresage, what's wrong with sassiness? It makes character interactions fun!
And, PureSimplicity, you're right-there aren't any set established couples in the show at all yet except for Sokka/Yue. If there were, there wouldn't be as many shipping wars or debates.

XD You know, I like Tophs body language. She looked down quite a lot which seemed very realistic....*Squeals* They seriously need to put out some Avatar character plushies already....

Toph is really sweet. She loves her parents very much and would like to obey them, but she realizes that it would be a far more noble thing to do to go with Aang and help him save the world. Toph also is sassy and sarcastic, brave, and smart. She has her flaws, but that just makes her more real. Toph, in my opinion, is extremely well rounded. Personally, I like her! I think she is definitly worthy of Aang if something between them blossoms.

The thing with characters like Toph is...
Roughly 95% of people like sassy, headstrong little girls. They think it's cute and precocious, and can't wait to see more.
The other 5% are like: "What a little brat. I wish she'd shut up already."
That's why some are bashing her. I can understand we're they're coming from. I still love Toph though ;D (although if she were real and I had to baby-sit her...I'd probably kill her)

X( I actually wish I had seen this response to a few other characters, but que sera sera. I agree Storybookgirl- she is very well rounded! For all her flaws she has a 'good' heart. :3

Toph said she had "Never had a real friend," and Aang had to leave all his friends behind when he ran from the Southern Air Temple. Toph left her family to join the Avatar, and Aang left his "family" to run from his Avatar duties. They're both stubborn and naïve. They come from similar backgrounds, have similar personalities, and they're both twelve years old, which makes them easy to stick together. I don't think anything is going to come of it (AangxKatara is the way the show is gonna go), but I can see why one might support it.

That's for sure........Zutara forever ;D *cough* Ahem, shipping Zutara or whatever you wish is all well and good but please don't bash other pairings. On second thought maybe you weren't but you may ofend some people talking like that so I sugest you don't do so. Anyway, after a rewatch I liked the pairing more but not like a "OMGOTP" thing just an "Aww" thing. *sigh* I feel like a disclaimer. Also for future referance: I love Toph and thinks she rocks the house. Just because I ship Katang doesn't mean I hate Toph. I feel like a disclaimer again. I'm confused, who's bashing what? I said I like Zutara and the other person said that they do not like Kataang. How is that bashing? To me that is two people expressing their opinions.

I respect your'e oppinions, and I apreciate that some respect mine. I do find sassiness unatractive and I saw the whole episode. I still don't know where Tophaang ship came from.

You said "Zutara forever!!" and that's fine with me. I was talking about meninwhite who said "It's better than Kataang!!" in a negative maner she/he could have said it more kindly and the fact that she/he didn't I was upsat a little. I'm sorry for the outburst though the ship wars have got me more annoyed at these kind of things. Again, I'm sorry. Im all for Toaang im sick of Kataang! See this what I'm talking about. She/he could have said it in a nicer maner but didn't. [/rant]
