I’m the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!
People make fun of 9/11 now not because 3000 people dying in a terrorist attack is funny, but because the utter fucking self-righteousness and sentimentality with which Americans treat it and have used it endlessly to justify mass violence and misery on a scale that dwarfs 9/11 ever since makes its anniversary worthy of derision.
I think viewers needs to find a middle ground between having sympathy for Rue because she suffers from a sickness and very clearly needs help and just excusing all of her actions and blaming other characters for the things she does.
Like yeah she might not mean the things she says and does but the hurt they cause is real.
