There was an article from one of those hack pop culture article mills claiming that the show had aged poorly because Sokka is kinda sexist in one of the early episodes. I just assumed that they stopped watching after the first commercial break.

That's definitely the big one. People that focus on him being sexist didn't make it through more than 5 episodes

Im a massive feminist, and sokka is one of my favorites because he changes so much after experiencing the world.

A character going from a sexist narcissistic boss who demands respect and obedience to a humble and intelligent leader that plans ahead and uses his team’s strengths? Well he was sexist in the past before being surrounded by probably the greatest cast of strong women, so just throw him in the trash.
