I'd love a TV community for my Korra struggle sessions

    Korra is a wonderful show but it's not just shitlib, it is deeply fucking reactionary.

    Something about the cartoons of that era, like 5-8 years ago, they were all pretty much openly right wing in outlook.

        Each villain in Korra was a caricature of various political ideologies (socialism, environmentalism, anarchism, and fascism, in that order). The first three all boiled down to a complete and utter lack of understanding of those ideologies in favor of "tHe SoCiAllStS wAnT tO tAkE yOuR sTuFf"-tier shit takes (socialists are all evil, envious people who just want to take things away from those better off than them, environmentalists are hypocrites who want to burn down society because they don't like change, anarchists just set stuff on fire and nothing else, etc), and the only villain that was portrayed sympathetically was the fascist.

        This guy does a real good job of breaking down each season and how the politics are just utter trash, but that's basically what it boils down to.

          Kay's Korra videos are dope as hell. I found them here and I concur 100%.
