Why? Enemies to lovers is a common trope, isn't it? Not necessarily saying it should've been canon, but why would shipping them be such an outlandish take?

This fandom is so dang weird about ships man. If you ship anything outside Kataang, Sukka, and Maiko, you get crucified. While I do enjoy those ships, you can only read fanfics with the same pairings so many times.

Their personalities clash too much, I just can't see it working. Enjoy, of course, but it doesn't spark joy in my little shipperdom.

It's not. The reality is that the writers did toy with the idea. There's a lot of revisionist history going on, or just ignorance when people say Katara and Aang was a sure thing.
