* [[Periphery Hatedom]]: The series' status as a [[Sacred Cow]] is very established in the West, but hardcore anime fans only became more and more critical of it in the 2010s as they feel the series is just Americans using an Asian-based setting and characters to tell a story based on their culture; to start with, the whole concept of four elements is Greek. It doesn't help Avatar fans are known for attacking animes for being "outdated" and saying this series is the only good "anime", despite not even being Japanese, generating pre-conceived hostility towards the cartoon because of its fanbase.
* [[Relationship Writing Fumble]]: Azula permanently sounding like she's trying to [[The Vamp|seduce]] [[Squick|her]] [[Brother-Sister Incest|brother]].
