Ozai is unfortunately very pretty, and there are a lot of people who think an abuser really really deserves a victim.
And Zuko apologists. Ew. I mean, I love Zuko, seriously, but one of the reasons his redemption arc was so satisfying was that he really needed one. He is also very pretty by the way, and admittedly extremely sympathetic, and also ends up as a genuinely good and wonderful person. That doesn't mean that the way he acted while in understandable pain was justifiable.
Wow, I'm sorry about your father. You might as well say that my friend, whose parents put his cat to sleep when he came out to them, just had parents who loved him so much.
There's no way a narcissistic meltdown over another person's valid life choices can be called any kind of love, unless we say entitlement and abuse equal love.
I think that's exactly what abuse apologists are saying.
