That's what most people make out of Zutara. so much gross fan fics on there...
But Tokka, in my opinion, will work because the whole is similar to Kaang: Sokka doesn't know Toph loves/likes him. But he's started to acknowledge her. Same with Kaang: Aang first started out crushing on her then it grew into love. She never knew. Still doesn't. But she's started to really acknowledge.
I can't believe I just compared Tokka with Kaang.

Yeh as someone said and it has been said before. They don't have to go straight to the bedroom. As I said earlier I don't think that is in Toph intress yet, meaby when hormones really kicks in. And give the poor people working with this some artistik freedom, Imean they have devolped great characters and character relations (what relations it will develope to is still unknown) and some of you just want to limit them based on unstable arguments. This is not late night tv at playboy mantion, these are cartoon kids in a world with diffrent ways and traditions compared to ours, that may or may not be in love.
From now on how about insteed of draging up the age argument 8we've heard more then enough of that) if you think Takka wouldn't work (which is the question here) bring up better rezones like meaby personalites, future plans or such. How about it?
(I'll see your answers when I wake up. Good night)

I gotta agree. I don't think that many arguments against it have been based on anything substantial, just the age difference. I go with the Toph/Sokka. The creators said as much during audio commentary of Serpent's Pass. I think if it fails, it'll fail because of Sokka. Either he never catches a clue or he stays faithful to Suki (who may or may not be alive). Toph should just drag him down for a kiss at the end of the show and walk off into the sunset. |
there to manny okka suffixes

| I think Katara does share Aang's feelings, but I don't think either knows the other likes them. Katara probably started thinking about it after "The Fortuneteller." There have been several instances when they nearly told each other, but they probably aren't sure how to broach the subject. In a way, Katara may feel unworthy because she's a peasant in love with the Avatar. And Aang may feel unworthy because he's humble and feels like a failure for disappearing for 100 years. At the earliest, I'd say Aang will admit his feelings during "Day of the Black Sun" when he fears he may never get another chance, and he'll regain the Avatar State. |

| I've always gotten the feeling that those using age to disprove tokka are using our modern views. By the anthropology perspective, Toph could be considered an adult if we know what the marriage age is. In that same light, Katara could be an adult. If we assume Yue was the same age as Katara, they would be considered adults since Yue was betrothed. A little over 100 years ago, it was perfectly acceptable for a man nearing 30 to marry a 12-year-old girl. Expected really. Edgar Allan Poe lived during such a time. |
Okay, here it is: Yue was sixteen, but I guess she's ageless now, considering she a spirit. If you like Kaang, than you really can't use age to disapprove Tokka. I'm sorry, but when you use a twelve year old kid with a fourteen year old girl against Toph and Sokka being together, that's not a very good argument.

b)again, toph is a child. not because of her age, but because of her social role as a character. |

I think salavery is a little off topic here and a little subjective too. I'm pretty sure people back then didn't consider slavery wrong, atrocious as it was. But i digress, my first point is the same as many people on here, the 'wrong/age' argument in the Tokka case seems based on modern society. Secondly and most importantly, this is a cartoon on Nickelodeon for kids not some late night manga. Tokka getting together doesn't mean they gonna do the nasty so I don't see what's wrong if they do get together.

An in a modern American society, I believe it is not seen as taboo for a 16-year-old guy to date a 13-year-old girl. |
