A thread for /co/ approved girlbosses.
>>154867012Toph.
>>154867012Jade isn't a girlboss
she's a brat
>>154867012Did she always have those dick sucking lips?
>>154867270what are you trying to say sir...
>>154867161/thread
>>154867161>>154868654>I'm Toph BeFong and I invented metalbending!Riveting stuff.
>>154867012>>154867012First of all, a girlboss can't be approved by definition, because it's a poorly written, overpowered character that you dislike which was created for sociopolitic reasons.Jade isn't a girlboss because she's not overpowered, she the ubiquitous at the time kid sidekick the writers were too dumb to realize a lot of kids would find annoying instead of someone to self-insert as stereotype. But honestly, I didn't hate her at all as a kid. Maybe because she was such a good little troll against Jackie the straight man. She's a brat done right, even if unintentionally.Toph isn't a girlboss because she's liked as a character by nearly all, not badly written, nor is she a feminist mouthpiece unlike Katara.Speaking of which, I take my opening statement back, Katara is a /co/-approved girlboss: she's an annoying, poorly written, hyper-talented, bossy feminist cunt, which a lot of people on /co/ dislike as a character, but /co/ forgives her because she was in a great show and because she's a hot brown girl.
>>154870033I self inserted as Jade as a kid, what are you talking about? I always appreciated the tomboy characters
>>154870033Girlboss = female character I dislike
>>154870156Only to retards. Are you a self-admitted retard?
>>154870156Pretty much.
Is OG Gwen considered a girlboss?
>>154869654No
>>154870064Why? Jackie was right there. Did you self-insert as Robin instead of Batman too?
>>154870156Now comes the cope
>>154870218Not even
>>154870236Then neither Jade or Katara are
>>154870218No. All her cuntry attitude was well-earned by Ben, she's never pushed grrrl power agenda from what I remember, and she's consistently written. You can certainly argue that she's overpowered with her kicks that worked as if she's 4x the muscle mass, and later the lucky charm and magic, but that's the only part where she's even close to the requirements.
>>154867012She was one of the biggest girlbosses of the 2010s but /co/ likes to pretend the pornstar Nicole made by the fandom is the real version of the character
>>154870290>You can certainly argue that she's overpowered with her kicks that worked as if she's 4x the muscle massI don’t remember her ever beating an enemy with those
>>154870252Jade isn't, Katara is. Katara literally spends the show calling boys dumb while herself being a dumb cunt, being fantastic at water-bending despite being mostly self-taught, and proving to all the men how awesome girls are through contrived writing.
>>154870319She’s shit and loser, just one with a job and attitude
>>154870224One word "nuh-uh" reply to a joke that apparently went over your head because you're so touchy. Maybe take a little breather
>>154869654>rivetingkek, I get it.>>154870319Nicole is a single provider mom in charge of two troublemaking retards. She's the only one holding that family afloat. She suffers, is constantly stressed, is often shown to be wrong and is defeated constantly. The only times she gets super-powers is when she's protecting her family. She's not a girlboss. Not even close.>>154870323No, they used them sparingly enough. But that didn't diminish their effectiveness. She more than once kicked a grown man off his feet. A 10yo girl physically can't do that. She also had olympian level jumping power sometimes.
>>154870319Because the porno version is better>>154870325Katara starts a shitter, but then gets properly trained. She's not a girlboss, and she ain't even the best waterbender
>>154870415>is often shown to be wrong and is defeated constantly. The only times she gets super-powers is when she's protecting her family. She's not a girlboss. Not even close.I get it, you didn't watch the show beyond the early seasons
>>154870415Are you really saying Gwen is more of a girlboss than Nicole? Are you kidding me?
>>154870424>properly trainedShe literally mastered the water element faster and better than the fucking Avatar. And how does that fix all her other girlboss qualities?>>154870458>he watches the show after it went to shit>tries to fault me for not doing the sameLOL, fuck off, you masochist.>>154870482Maybe the same as good early seasons Nicole. But that's not saying a lot as they're not girlbosses at all. Conditional low tier super-powers and being smarter than a literal retard don't exactly make you a girlboss.
>>154870614The Avatar is more balanced
>>154870655We're not arguing about who's more balanced, we're arguing whether becoming a better bender at whichever element at a faster rate than the guy who mastered it a hundred times over his soul's existence makes you overpowered or not (it does).
>>154870614You mean that the girl who spent her ehole life training in secret and then learned from a White Lotus member an possibly the strongest waterbender alove in her age is a prodigy? Oh, but all those times she spent training her techniques in book 1 and when she didn't girlboss her way on her foght with Pakku and how Aang got the hang of waterbending faster than her and all those fights against Zuko she lost? Nah, that didn't happen. Bet you'll say next that her beating Azula is a girlboss moment
>>154870688>fanboying this hard>over KataraShe had no one to teach her, she literally played around. Then she had one (1) scroll, and then she had a few months of training. She was better than the Avatar, who did that for the hundredth time, by the end of it. I don't get how you can even pretend she wasn't overpowered. And your defense to her being a cunt is "she wasn't a cunt to everyone all the time"? Wow. Do you want to talk about how she apparently came up with the concept of feminism while living in a patriarchal society isolated on the North Pole?
>>154871000>She was better than the AvatarBitch, did you watch the series? Everyone was better than Aang, but the sum of his parts made him stronger. Like, do you think Katara would've solo'd Ozai? Toph? Zuko? Be for fucking real>She was better than the Avatar, who did that for the hundredth time, by the end of it. I don't get how you can even pretend she wasn't overpoweredShe is stronger than Aang in his normal state, but not in Avatar state because it's a boost of 180 times, moron, and only her waterbending is stronger than Aang's>And your defense to her being a cunt is "she wasn't a cunt to everyone all the time"? Didn't even mention that at all, dumbass, but since you did, i'll say that yeah, she is a cunt, but she's a teenage girl, like, come the fuck on, dude. Biggest cunt move she did and didn't apologize for was telling Sooka she missed their mom more than him, and not apologizing for it, but for the most part, she's the bond that keeps their group together>Do you want to talk about how she apparently came up with the concept of feminism while living in a patriarchal society isolated on the North Pole?She lived alone for most her life in the fucking boonies where all there was were women and little kids, and ghe biggest figure of authority is an elder woman, how do you think thatwould've turned out, little incel?
>>154871419You're delusional. No, no one is better at water bending than Aang except grandmasters who practiced all their life, and Katara. That's enough for her to be considered overpowered, she doesn't need to be the strongest in the world. And Katara living in a place with no men wouldn't make her a natural feminist. Obviously the women would be sure to teach respect and obedience to their female children lest the men beat the shit out of them when they return and discover a generation of girls who won't listen or pay respect.>she's overpowered>she's annoying>she's nonsensically written as a feministThese are all the the pieces of the puzzle, she's a girlboss.
>>154871712She's not all that you puked, but you do you, i guess. Not use in trying to change a moron's broken mind
>>154870033Girlboss is Gaston with a cunt.>self-important>toxic>acts like a villain>everyone in universe loves them despite all of the aboveKatara isn't a girlboss
way I see it, in order for a character to be considered a girlboss, they need to:>always be pissed or on edge (specially towards male characters)>be bossy>be self-important>treat others as lesser beings (specially male characters)they also share a lot of intersections with the mary sue type.
>>154872953Ah so Korra then? Who else? Hmm. Probably ever female character since around 2015?
>>154870319She's only a girlboss when it's funny to have her be le heckin scary mom. Otherwise she's a failure that can barely succeed in her small corner of life
Jade is a tomboy
>>154875086Jade is sex
>>154870033No.>>154870319No.>>154873079No.They're not "tough but fair", they're tsunderes. Purely bitchy by nature.Bunch of idiots ITT today... I'm glad that school time is arriving in the next few weeks so that you summerfags can better your intellect more...
>>154875519Jade is loveJade is life
>>154870688Not the guy you were originally arguing with but...>You mean that the girl who spent her ehole life training in secret Katara's self-taught skills were at the level of an absolute beginner, worse than Age 4 Korra.>and then learned from a White Lotus member an possibly the strongest waterbender alove in her age is a prodigy?The show went out of its way to claim she was a hard worker and not a prodigy.>Bet you'll say next that her beating Azula is a girlboss momentFunny how you had to cast this as defense, because Katara's shitty writing meant three months of hard work non prodigy>prodigy with a decade of training and hard workIs she a girlboss? Not necessarily, but her bending progress is is ass.
>>154870424>and she ain't even the best waterbenderHmm...Katara vs Azula during the comet: Katara can somehow winPakku vs random generic fire nation goon firing a single attack: Pakku has to be saved by Jeong JeongThe show absolutely says she was better than Pakku by the end of season 3.
>>154875751>Katara vs Azula during the comet: Katara can somehow winAzula IQ dropped down to 50 and she missed a river grate under her
>>154875726Ironically if she wasn't explicitly evil Azula would have been the perfect girlboss example.So I guess "Azula except the show insists she's a good person and always right" is a good definition.
>>154875627>Nicole >Katara>tsunderesRetard
>>154876149that's the point, girlbosses are bad ,therefore ATLA shows this by making Azula evil
>>154870458I wonder how these people would react if people started going around with "Smash the Matriarchy" picket signs
>>154867012All of themI love girlbosses
>>154875086This>>154875519This>>154875692This
>>154876285Tard
>>154876188>DyslexiaPot, meet Kettle
>>154876273They will say "matriarchy doesn't exist" or something
>>154867012>>154870033>>154870319None of these are girlbosses. Jade is a bratty kid that constantly gets in over her head and scolded for it.Katara is the team mom and while she can be bossy, she also shows a kind and protective side towards Aang. Something that many "2010s Girlboss" characters don't do, especially towards male characters.Katara isn't a bending Prodigy. She eventually did need a proper teacher and on top of that, they're running around with the fire nation's prime target during war time so they ALL have to get good, and fast.Nicole is only any kind of "boss" when dealing with her family. Otherwise she's a loser in a dead end job.
Can we just make this a brat thread
Jade wasn't a Girl Boss. She was subordinate to Toru, Uncle and Jackie.
>>154876700>Nicole is only any kind of "boss" when dealing with her family.In the first two or three seasons. Now everyone is afraid of her and she can bully and beat everyone and everything in the town without consequences >she's a loser in a dead end job.They tried to justify this with shit like "men and the patriarchy keep her down" or "The Void keep her down" or "her husband and kids keep her down".
>>154870458>respond "I act nice to Women that are nice."
>>154867012How did Jade do karate with those tiny little legs?
>>154877094Most of her blows should have done almost zero damage.
>>154875726 #>but her bending progress is is assNah, she had training from two of the most experienced masters, and even managed to bloodbend without a full moon>>154875751 #She outsmarted Azula, you egghead. Did you see the episode?
>>154877124she blows in general
>>154867012Girlboss is just a female character that does more than just be a love interest for the main male character that self insert cucks self insert into
>>154867175>>154867249This, in that order. Correction of facts is almost as fun as correction of brats.
>>154878006You are the cuck
>girlboss thread>no girlbosses in said thread>gay retards just purposely mudding the definition of itgreat
>>154867012jade is a brat that jackie obviously corrected offscreen.
>>154867012GT Pan but better written
>>154867012More like Bratboss
>>154877644>Nah, she had training from two of the most experienced masters, There's no suggestion Hama is good at anything except Bloodbending, and Katara could just outmuscle her because of superior bending strength within the episodeIt is written like ass, Billy.>and even managed to bloodbend without a full moonNot during ATLA she didn't. If you are talking about the scene in the Southern Raiders, that was a full moon.>>154875751>She outsmarted Azula, you egghead. Did you see the episode?And Pakku still got owned by a single firebending attack from a mook in the finale.Azula by all means should have been able to exhale flames to vaporize the water around herPoint is still: Katara could subdue one of strongest, greatest waterbenders in the world during the comet, and Pakku needed help from his Firebending buddy to handle mooksBtw, Katara had Azula dead to rights in the Season 2 finale too.Again:>Three months of hard work non prodigy beats a prodigy with a decade of training and hard work
>>154878067Someone post Korra so this fella doesn't pop a vein
>>154877013Delete it
>>154878751both times Katara beat Azula was not because she showed some superior water bending technique(same season 2 finale she couldn't do shit to Zuko), but because Azula fell for most obvious traps
>>154881038>a usually powerful and smart character gets caught in a box propped-up with a stick so Katara can winThat makes it worse for Katara's girlboss case.
Let's be honest, a waterbender should never lose against a firebender if there a decent source of water on the battlefield.
>>154867012That's not a girlboss that's a little shit
>>154867012can she really be a girlboss if she's so helplessly ticklish
>>154867012bump
