On cultural appropriation in an ATLA RPG: I think it's totally fine for non-Asian folks to participate in an Asian-inspired fantasy RPG, provided they're respectful about it. I think that it would fall under "cultural appropriation" if the players all wanted to be ATLA characters but have those characters THEMSELVES not be Asian, if that makes any sense. Having a freckled redheaded Irish girl living in the Water Tribe, as opposed to a feckled redheaded Irish girl PLAYING an Inuit girl who lives in the Water Tribe. Does that make sense?
