I'm not sure if it is because people prefer someone like Toph who is openly selfish and impolite, as to someone like Katara who tries to admit her mistakes.
A friend of mine told me;
"Is it because of how characters that may be usually be prided in animated series coming from the east, may not be prided in animated series made for audiences in the west?
Because I do admire characters who put aside their pride, like Katara. Over characters who are more self absorbed.
What I find amazing is how people can bash Katara without considering how patient she usually is.
Maybe people detest characters that they are envious of.
As much I know how that feels...sometimes the: "OMG I hate Katara" is too unfair.
And no I don't think she is a Sue.
That's from reading too much fanfiction."
