If anything, my knowledge of fantasy RPG tells me that nondescript civilians are super squashy things that need to be protected. Plus, it's much cooler if I think of them as remorselessly murdering muggles. Probably because they don't think they're people.

So I'm watching Legend of Korra now. As far as I can tell, it's about a spoiled kid joining a magician death squad to go and arrest muggles daring to oppose the current magistico-fascist regime, killing those that resist. I seriously like the guy that's supposed to be the villain a lot better.

But the president and two out of four of his counselors (except Tenzin and what's-his-name, the braided one) are non-benders, and how exactly are muggles are mistreated by benders? Benders naturally have more possibilities, but I think rather than result in discrimination, it would result in advanced division of labor, where benders occupy profession where being a bender is vital (since there are still fewer benders that muggles), while muggles can have any of a wide variety of other professions.

Sorry, I though that my vision of things was warped enough to be left out of spoiler.

The council are all benders, yes. No non-benders in leadership positions.

I was talking to Comrade P. with the spoiler thing. I don't think there's anyone else but you watching at the moment that could be spoiled in any way.

Speaking of which, I was wondering if anyone wanted to provide input on this. Heavy spoilers. Yeah, I know, shameless promotion.

Sheb: How far are you? There's a really good line about that at some point.

Keep in mind I'm only at Episode 8 of Season 1, so as far as possible, don't spoil me please.

Edit: And from the look of bender when their power are taken away it's easy to see that they don't consider non-benders to be fully people.

Well yes it is crushed, but it is pretty radical and deprives government out of potential workers in core industries.

Not so sure the benders think of non-benders as sub-human (since non-benders have been the majority of the population for all of history, and before this show people seemed more wrapped up in ethnic/national identity) but you'd probably feel pretty crushed if someone took away an ability you'd had for your entire life (and was a sort of status symbol / part of your identity).

It's totally oppression. Hoo boy, Episode 8 is great, though. Just wait for that one awesome line...

Yeah, it's totally oppression. While maybe not 1938 Moscow, it's certainly close to depression era United States. I like it when the villains have a point.
