The fire nation did nothing wrong

>>92410509
Except that they took all the land by military force, and attempted to destroy all types of bending besides firebending.

>Except that they took all the land by military force
And who said that land belongs to the earth nation? the answer is no one. Taking land is self-entitlement, in whatever form it takes. There is nothing wrong with that. But there is nothing wrong with defending it either.

>attempted to destroy all types of bending
No. They imprisoned waterbenders, for instance. They only wanted the avatar.

>>92410509
Shut up Azula.

>No. They imprisoned waterbenders, for instance. They only wanted the avatar.

They killed all the air nomads, who also didn't have any real land of their own, just scattered temples. They had several massive prisons set up for all kinds of benders, not just water benders. They had several raids where they attacked small villages where their specific goal was to capture or kill any benders they found.
None of that was done to improve the lives of others. They just wanted to be the only ones with any power.

>NO ONE has claims to any land in the first place

In that case, the fire nation has no right to try to expand their territory at all, because they were saying that land now belonged to them

"Taking land is self-entitlement" applies just as much to the fire nation as it does the earth nation, except the fire nation also killed other people to take said land

I really wish The Avatar had had the balls to kill your precious emperor so you'd stop being such entitled faggots.

And they have no claims to be there in the first place. Your point?

>>92412225
Just more proof that any Op that starts a thread with "X did nothing wrong" is invariably a shitposter.

You are correct, OP.

>Air benders were a bunch of savages without technology
>Waterbenders had literally two villages
>Earth Benders had the rest of the world

The fire benders simply wanted to expand and educate the rest of the world.

Is that so wrong?

>>92410509
Shitposting aside, Ozai literally wanted to destroy the Earth Kingdom by razing it to the ground. Is that really civilizing it? Hell, he isn't even trying to conquer the Earth People, what he was doing would have made the lands in the Earth Kingdom unlivable.

Yes, might is right and borders are mostly arbitrary but that doesn't make the Fire Nation good. Were the Mongols the good guys? Were the Communists good guys? How about the actual imperial Japanese?

You may disagree with their methods, but there is nothing wrong with what they wanted.

>>92411891

Azula would never do such a thing. She doesn't have it in her to kill.

Zucest is canon.

>>92415940

No it isn't.

>>92410657
>attempted to destroy all types of bending besides firebending
They didn't

>>92416469
What was systematically locking up earthbenders in a metal prison?

>>92416520
>locking them up
>the same as genocide
So we genocide crimminals?

>>92416690
it isn't but it's also pretty easy to read that as them trying to slowly kill out the earthbenders because they still needed prisoners around to work.

Also at the end they were basically gonna light a country on fire until they gave up. At the very least they don't seem terribly concerned about what happens to other benders. It isn't a big leap to assume they would be genocided once they won the war,

Means to an end.

Notice, you do not disagree with their end (more land), only to their means to do it.
