"None of Katara and Aangs kid share Katara's Complexion ;_;"

 

Basically, Bryan struck back at the Anonymous with a wall of text, explaining his opinions on Racebending/Whitewashing of characters of color (both his own and others), his frustrations with certain aspects of the Airbender and Legend of Korra fanbase, fanart, and why he feels it is important to portray characters of color on television.

Well we never saw their daughter and didn't really get a good look at Bumi. So this guys argument, if you'll excuse the pun, doesn't hold water. It would make sense for Aang and Kataras daughter, who is a waterbender, to have her mothers complexion.

 

Edit: Just saw the pic. When did the 2nd season start!? Aww man, I missed it! Is it on On Demand? I have to go look!
