"Katara lashing out at Sokka in The Southern Raiders made her irredeemable in my eyes"

I've seen someone say this. About the traumatized 14yo who basically acts like a surrogate mother to everyone AND CONSTANTLY EMOTIONALLY CHECKS IN WITH EVERYONE.

Girl if that makes someone irredeemable then we should've thrown Zuko off a cliff a long time ago

I've also seen people complain about the show not showing her apologise to Sokka. Again, what's so difficult about trusting the most emotionally mature member of the group to probably do that off screen or be forgiven by her brother because siblings can be fucking assholes, let alone traumatized siblings?

I was a little upset when she said those things at Sokka, but I also understand her at the same time. It's insane that people think she's irredeemable. She didn't set villages on fire or tried to kill people. Unlike Zuko. And if he can be redeemable then Katara can too.
