Neither Ty Lee nor Azula have canon competition which is needed for this trope. The Zutura entry was rather long when it could have been summarized, like the entry from the Western Animation page. Suki/Sokka is canon

** Zuko/Katara is a legendary example (it's even the trope's image). In fact, it is very common among casual viewers or people who have never watched the series to think Zuko and Katara ended up together due to the sheer ubiquitousness of the pairing; there are roughly ''twice'' as many Zutara fics as there are Kataang ones. The two are the DesignatedParents for the Gaang, have copious amounts of ShipTease and spend the finale together as FireForgedFriends. The Zuko/Katara ship is further fuelled by their voice actors Creator/{{Dante Basco}} and Creator/{{Mae Whitman}} openly supporting the couple -- even thinking the story was heading in the direction of the two ending up together.
*** A long-running debate in the fandom revolved around whether the Zutara pairing becoming canon was ever considered by the writers.

Joshua Hamilton's ''Avatar Extras'' stated that [[https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Avatar_Extras_(Book_One:_Water)#.22The_Avatar_Returns.22 "Zuko was originally going to be the love interest for Katara"]] and [[https://avatar.fandom.com/wiki/Avatar_Extras_(Book_Three:_Fire)#.22The_Ember_Island_Players.22 "The writers and creators toyed with the idea of Zuko and Katara falling in love"]].

Ty Lee is one of the few characters [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes Azula apparenly cares about]] and the only person in the entire series [[PetTheDog she apologises to]] and most of her interactions are simply full of LesYay moments, especially [[spoiler: Azula's reaction to Ty Lee turning on her]].The fact the comics suggested Ty Lee was terrified of Azula, something the show also suggests, given that the episode in which Ty Lee is introduced shows Azula threatening and forcing to join her, didn't stop the shippers who simply decided [[FanonDiscontinuity to ignore this information.]]

** It's implied that the Fire Nation guards -- and possibly Azula -- tortured Suki while she was in prison. Given her despondent expression in the Boiling Rock courtyard and her lack of surprise about a disguised Sokka barging in on her, there is evidence to support that theory. Even without it, her team of Kyoshi Warriors lost in a CurbStompBattle with Azula and her friends to save Appa, and Azula in KickTheDog mode not only separated them like prisoners but also took their clothes and makeup to impersonate them. That is one TraumaCongaLine. Suki doesn't get her Kyoshi garb back until the end of the series when the war is over, and she takes a lot of pride when wearing it. Despite that, she regains her spirit quickly when reuniting with Sokka, saying she knew he would come for her. Then she helps stage the successful jailbreak by taking the Warden hostage, without breaking a sweat. Oh, and she let Ty Lee, one of her former enemies, join the Kyoshi Warriors under the condition that Ty Lee taught them chi blocking and would be on her best behavior. Sokka wasn't as cool with the idea when he found out, [[OhNoNotAgain for understandable reasons]].

** Some fans believe that Aang should have killed Ozai in the finale and are unhappy with him taking away his bending instead. This runs counter to the themes of the series that the finale hammers home; no one is born evil, even villains are human and their lives have value and should be given a chance to change, no matter how far they've fallen.

** Many fans believe Azula to be irredeemable, despite redemption being a major theme. Iroh and Jeong Jeong were high ranking soldiers for decades in the Fire Nation before turning good, and it took Zuko three years and many major hurdles. Zuko even implies to Ozai that he could find redemption at some point. Aang himself claims no one is born evil. When it comes to Azula however, despite being only fourteen and being actively fighting for less than a year, she is held up as the one exception because of how villainous she acts, and many fans believe she was born evil. This is in spite of the restraint she shows compared to her father or Zhao, being able to capture Ba Sing Se in a relatively bloodless coup rather than a years long siege. They also ignore that Azula shares the Sozin/Roku dilemma with Zuko, and is actually shown to feel some deeply buried self-loathing over her behavior, but feels she has little choice.

Azula's relationship to Mai and Ty Lee is clearly written as abuse, and Azula's coercion of Ty Lee is especially explicit. As Such, Ty Lee turning on Azula can't really be considered a betrayel, and the more neutral "turned on" works better. Also let's not pretend the comic's depiction of their dynamic was somehow a departure from how it was depicted in the show.
