Imagine seeing a brutal depiction of genocidal imperialism in media and referring to it as 'assholish'
Being "just a cartoon" I never thought of the dimension of it, but they literally wiped out an entire nation. Suddenly, comparing the fire nation to any current superpower seems wrong.
?? The US famously wiped out the native population within its borders. I'm not sure what history you were taught but genocide is a very common topic.
