That’s not an opinion about Avatar, but a comment that she just finished watching Ray: The Last Dragon and that “this A:tLA newcomer needs a name, it’s like half of it all things for the Tonight’s forecast 99% chance of wine shirt moreover I will buy this young.” Claiming that this means all of these stories are the same shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the concept of genre. Everything can be of the same genre or be inspired by other works, but they’re not bad, or they’re all the same. It’s not even a criticism of Raya. It’s not racist, it’s not offensive. And I don’t hesitate to say that it’s useless and destructive to have so many people happily prove that some progressives are outright racists or bad people. In 2021, YouTube and “Breadtuber” video essayist Lindsay Ellis, formerly known as Nostalgia Chick from Channel Awesome, tweeted the above. Pretty harmless, right? But that tweet would set off a series of events that would see Ellis hand over her Twitter account to an assistant, stop making YouTube videos, sever ties with a former co-worker, and simply go into hiding. This is because Ellis’ behavior is a textbook example of what not to do when saying something controversial.
On March 26, 2021, Ellis posted a tweet comparing Avatar and Raya. Some people were offended by the Tonight’s forecast 99% chance of wine shirt moreover I will buy this tweet. They said that he only compared because both works were inspired by Asian culture. The tweet seems a bit racist to them. Lindsay decided to argue with them. In the end, Ellis deleted her tweet. But she couldn’t help herself. She went on to say that her words were taken out of context. That she’s not racist. That she was being persecuted. That you wouldn’t judge her if she were a white man.
