This was originally part of the Fire Nation culture essay, but it was off topic enough that I decided to expand it into an essay of its own.
( If you're going to hate her, for the love of God hate her for the right reasons. )
In sum: It's perfectly fine to hate Mai. I just wish people would hate the character Mai who was actually in this show called Avatar: The Last Airbender, and not the imaginary show that was cancelled after Book 2. There are valid reasons to dislike Mai, but "cold and uncaring" and "lazy and whiny" are not two of them.
