The Netflix live-action ATLA news going around is FAKE

Dear Avatar fandom: FandomWire is a longtime KNOWN clickbait site that makes stuff up for... clicks. They have for years. Their story about Netflix live-action ATLA (whitewashing, aging up, and sexualizing the characters) is fake. They have no source.

This guy is the originator:

He was on a big YouTube channel until he was fired for sexual harassment and attempted sexual assault. He then started his own channel where he posts clickbait lies like the ones spreading about ATLA today.

Please tread the internet with a little more care. Clickbait works by enticing people with content they think they want to see, and that content can be 100% fake. The ONLY goal is to get you on the page so that they get the ad revenue.

By spreading this fake news, you're putting money in the pocket of someone fired for sexual harassment and attempted sexual assault. He was fired from his real job and now he makes money this way, and FandomWire is in on it too.

Notice how he literally took the theories people were most worried about and said they were real? This guaranteed that the most people would click the article and video, your worst fears come true!

I would simply advise everyone to delete anywhere they've spread this, and relax. We'll know what's up with the show when we know.

I think it's important to stop this because this kind of social media outrage and trending hashtags and everything easily becomes a real news story on big websites, and then this guy will be making 100x more money. Let's not make that happen.
