That\\\'s the big issue. I don\\\'t believe Katara was portrayed as right because she\\\'s a main character. I believe she was portrayed as right because a lot of people, including myself and apparently including the writers for the show as well, believe that bullies need to be stopped, even if that means punching them a few times. In other words, the \\\"objective\\\" morals that you claim the show violated for the benefit of a main character are not quite so objective or widely held as you think.

Because of that, I think the example works much better as ValuesDissonance, rather than as ProtagonistCenteredMorality.

That\'s the thing, though. I don\'t say that she was wrong. As someone who was bullied as a child, I don\'t see anything wrong with standing up for yourself against a bully, or with using violence as long as you don\'t take it too far. (For example, I would agree that school shootings are absolutely wrong. Giving a bully a bloody nose, however, is something I would agree with.) Violence is not automatically bad. Violence is a tool, it\'s all in how you use it, and it\'s not like Katara was trying to actually \'\'kill\'\' or even seriously injure Pakku.
