Bender Amon Sympathizers

[Leaf]

Just as there are non-benders who don't sympathize with Amon or The Equalists. Are there benders who do? Perhaps even benders who want their abilities taken away?

There are always outliers in every system, but I do think there are legitimate reasons for a bender to support Amon and his cause.

Bending is an art one needs to master before having full control, and as such that makes it easy to cause unintended collateral damage. This has been expressed with all the bending arts, (such as Katara accidentally destroying an iceberg in an angry rant) but it has been shown doubly so with firebenders, such as when Aang burned Katara while playing around with firebending.

Although there could be many more reasons to support amon besides this, one good reason for a bender to support him is guilt. What if an earthbender destroyed his friends shop on accident? What if a firebender hurt her best friend while playing around?

I could see some voluntarily losing their bending, even if its not a healthy one.
