** A few Toph/Katara shippers are nasty to Aang in their fanfics, twisting him into a jealous asshole who just wants to hurt Toph for "stealing" Katara from him.

* Jin: Jin had quite a few attacks on her from a vocal section of the Zutara fans and even some early Maiko fans. Most of it called her a slut or a gold digger (even though she canonically didn't know Zuko was a prince), apparently because she is more endowed than most of the girls. Rage against her was relatively short lived -- it quickly became clear that she would not be a recurring character or have any lasting romantic interest in Zuko.

* Zuko: A section of the Katara/Aang fandom have become openly hostile to Zuko due to the extreme popularity of the non-canon Zuko/Katara ship, calling him emo and [[What Measure Is a Non Cute|ugly]].

* Katara: Extreme Maiko and [[Toy Ship|Aang/Toph]] fans bash Katara as a [[Canon Sue]] who became far too good at water bending far too quickly.

* Suki: You'd be surprised at the number of Toph/Sokka shippers who were saddened and angered to discover that Suki was still alive. Now they're the poster [[Love Triangle]] for Avril Lavigne's "Girlfriend." A few Sokka/Azula shippers have recently come out of the woodwork to bash Suki as well.

* Song: Song got similar treatment as Jin by diehard Zutara shippers and a few Maiko shippers back in the day. The most common accusation was that she was a [[Mary Sue]]; nowadays, Song is usually just flat-out ignored since she only showed up in one episode and never appeared or got referenced again.

* [[Sequel Series]] ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'' '''is already showing signs of this'''. Korra, the [[Action Girl]] lead, has gotten buttloads of [[Ship Tease]] with her [[Tall Dark and Handsome]] companion Mako, who's also a [[Playing With Fire|talented fire bender]] -- the most resentful and rabid Zutara shippers not only latched on these two and claimed that they were "Bryke's apology to Zutara shippers" ([[Insane Troll Logic|. . .]]), but they have started to [http://aquakia.tumblr.com/post/21989944010/legend-of-korra-ep-4 bash the crap out of the local cute girl], [[Spoiled Sweet|Asami Sato]], whom they see as a threat. (Warning: the link contains [[Double Standard|MASSIVE slutshaming and misogynistic language against Asami]], [[Arson Murder and Jaywalking|and enough animated gifs to make your browser crash]]). The whole situation is nicely summed up [http://rachellephant.tumblr.com/post/22068261751 here] as well.

** There were also a lot of people around online to note a truly ''massive'' [[Double Standard]]--Asami became [[The Scrappy]] for many for asking out the unattached Mako, whereas Tahno (who flirted with Korra, but is a [[Jerkass]] to Asami's [[Spoiled Sweet]]) became an [[Ensemble Darkhorse]].

** Not as severe, but Bolin and Tahno have also been bashed just because some people ship them with Korra.

*** However, many Makorra shipper admitted to feeling very awkward or saddened when Korra kissed Mako one day after her date with Bolin, only for Bolin (who'd even brought her flowers) to witness the kiss and run off crying. It takes the rest of the episode for them to even function as a team again. This even led to some switching ships.

** And apparently, ''Mako'' is getting hate too. It looks like some viewers [[Possession Sue|identify so uncomfortably much with Korra]] that they think she is entitled to Mako's affections, therefore Mako having some chemistry with Asami means that he's a shallow [[Ungrateful Bastard]] who only judges women for their looks (which brings lots of [[Beauty Is Bad]] and slutshamey pre-judgements in regards to Asami herself), and that he doesn't "deserve" Korra's love. It's more obvious when we see that a good part of said [[Vocal Minority]] ship Korra with Mako's brother Bolin, whom they see as "the right choice" for [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|bonding more easily with her]] (bringing some [[Unfortunate Implications]] about Korra owing Bolin love because he treats her well).

*** And then, there are the "[[Portmanteau Couple Name|Makorra]]" 'shippers who insist—even after seeing how devastated she was at finding out that {{spoiler|her father was [[Mad Scientist|working]] for the [[Evil All Along|Equalists]]}}—that Asami ''must'' secretly be {{spoiler|[[Daddys Little Villain]]}}. Or the 'shippers who think ''Mako'' is standing in the way of [[Les Yay|a Korra/Asami pairing]].

*** And, you know, they're ignoring the quick but poignant moment when Korra tells Mako that Asami needs him right now, signaling to most non-Makorra fans that she's let go of that for now.

** Pema got a ''lot'' of hate after episode six when we found out the person Tenzin used to be with was Lin Bei Fong. Some shippers have claimed Tenzin only went for Pema because she was young and willing to have children, and plenty are accusing her of being a home wrecker when all she did was confess her feelings, even when Tenzin says that his relationship with Lin was failing anyway.
