To manage the fund, Yahoo partnered with Harry Wu—a noted Chinese dissident turned powerful anti-China activist—and his nonprofit, the Laogai Research Foundation. But Wu grossly mismanaged YHRF, spending less than $650,000—or 4%—of the fund’s total $17.3 million on support for online dissidents, according to the current lawsuit. One year, YHRF allegedly spent $0 on what was meant to be its primary purpose. (Some defendants contest these calculations.)

    Yeah, Aang’s reluctance to kill Ozai is kind of comical. It makes sense in the story, and you have very good points about Ozai suffering psychologically and socially after being stripped of his power and imprisoned rather than killed and martyred, though.

      Lest we forget, it is a children’s cartoon from the US. Having the 12 year old hero of your animated show unambiguously take a human life or even be clearly planning to do so as the finale is not something the network would have approved even if the lib-as-fuck writers wanted it.
