Given Toph's whole deal I honestly thought this was 100% intentional; moreover, an intentional joke by Toph herself
Huh. How did I never make that connection? That's hilarious.
What's better is she doesn't do this with metal. She just wrapped that door straight around her face.
I figured she did this so her allies could see it was her. Mouths and noses are harder to identify than Toph's blind eyes.
Unless it had been explicitly discussed off-screen, how would she know this? Most sighted people don't casually mention it, afaik
Why should she protect her eyes. What's the worst that can happen, she can't to even blinder
Hmm. I get what you're saying, but our eyes are a massive weak spot. Not just in support of seeing, but those two squishy orbs are all that protects the eye socket and our brains beyond.
Yeah there's a reason blind people wear sunglasses; retinal damage can be extremely dangerous, both UV and blunt trauma. Blindness also means you're lacking the visual threat reflex (blinking/flinching) which can result in a buuunch of other stuff getting damaged, like even just the sinuses/breathey holes and breathey tubes cuz they're literally right there.
Oh, she did that on purpose...just to intimidate her enemies.
Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.
