Most Americans are too dumb to realize the allegory in ATLA.

[-] Siegfried@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

There are a lot of assholish nations that could easily take that place, but imo there are enough references to Dalai lama in the show to assume that the fire nation is china

[-] OscarRobin@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

The Dalai Lama references are from the Air Nomads, not Fire Nation

[-] Kalothar@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago

That’s because the air nomads are basically Tibetan monks, also annexed by China in the 1950s

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Yes, that's how the metaphor follows through. The fire Nation destroys the air nomads the way the Chinese destroyed Tibet.
