Honestly, this could probably be counted on TV Tropes as a broken AESOP at this point. Fact of the matter is, in the Avatar universe, firebenders are pretty much causing all the problems. When Toph originally said this line, it seemed like something that would have eventually been shown to be wrong, and it kind of was with Zuko, but overall, yeah, firebenders seem to have a tendancy towards murder and evil.

Is this intentional on the part of Bryke? Or are they only able to think of firebenders as the only likely bending villains themselves? If the latter, seriously Bryke, you couldn't make at least some of these bender related murderers a waterbender, or an earthbender. Just to mix things up? Does it always have to be a firebender?

So yeah, looks like Toph was kind of right, looks like firebenders naturally seem to be bad, and the non-bad ones seem like the exceptions.
