Horyo is just stating that Shadowbenders are not canon. He is not bashing in any way, just stating his opinion. =/

Canon refers to what is shown on the show. I don't recall shadowbending ever, therefore it is not canon.

You can't be a shadowbender unless you're a lightbender. And If you were a lightbender, I doubt you would be in any way defeatable. Sorry, but... No.

The premise of the show is bending of the four elements, which are water, earth, fire and air. But then later on in the show, there were variations of those elements and those elements only, like icebending (water), bloodbending (water), lightningbending (fire), lavabending (fire, as seen in "Avatar and the Firelord", I think... it was vague after all), metalbending (earth), and spiritbending (because Aang is the almighty Avatar). These are only variations; they don't stand on their own and only masters of the principle four elements can do these things. Like CK already said, shadowbending would have to go together with lightbending, and light isn't one of the four elements. So it's very unlikely that it would have been used on the show if it continued. Not only that but Azula is a firebender so she can only manipulate fire or some kind of variation of fire. Anywho, here's an even better explanation of why shadowbending wouldn't work, taking from Avatar: A Guide for Fanfic Authors:

I also don't see what you can do with a shadow, if you'll be realistic about it.
And please don't bring in Naruto.
Anyway, shadows are the parts that don't receive much light when an object acts as an impediment to the light source. If there were shadowbenders who could manipulate the actions or shapes of their shadows, the best they can do is make funny shapes to try and fool their opponent.
And if a shadow were to be able to "move" out of its normal boundaries, it would be useless, because the object no longer impedes the light source, thus eliminating the shadow.
And no, I'm not bashing your ideas: Like others have said, I'm saying it's not canon, and proved through a bit of logic why it's not practical.

Well its still an idea lol but it could possibly work as shadow bending the benders can bend with no limit so once they take the shadow of a person they can control it and make a twin or something, its still a work in progress so don't judge yet

No, you are missing our point. We are stating that shadowbending is not canon, because it is not a variation of any of the elements, and the show ended. It can't possibly work if it wasn't introduced in the show, because the show is over.
And as Horyo stated, if a shadow moves out of it's normal boundaries like a "twin", it would be useless because the shadow would be eliminated. No point, really.
Now lets get back to the real topic of this thread, the website. ;D

Last time I checked, when my shadow met someone else's shadow, I couldn't control them. And Naruto=/=Avatar. My point was bringing in a certain percentage of the reactions you'll get; I'm not going to speak for the creators, but if you come up with something completely odd, and it only serves as an insert for fans, they might not like it.
