>Sadly and unsurprisingly, there are also plenty of people who have lashed out with homophobic vitriol and nonsense. It has been my experience that by and large this kind of mindset is a result of a lack of exposure to people whose lives and struggles are different from one’s own, and due to a deficiency in empathy––the latter being a key theme in Book 4. (Despite what you might have heard, bisexual people are real!)

>I love how their relationship arc took its time, through kindness and caring. If it seems out of the blue to you, I think a second viewing of the last two seasons would show that perhaps you were looking at it only through a hetero lens.

> We did it for all our queer friends, family, and colleagues. It is long over due that our media (including children’s media) stops treating non-heterosexual people as nonexistent, or as something merely to be mocked. I’m only sorry it took us so long to have this kind of representation in one of our stories.

I love how he saying this like dykes are some kind of whimsical creatures who only practice courtship via secret and stealthy mating rituals that us silly heteros will never understand and then immediately says :
>It is long over due that our media (including children’s media) stops treating non-heterosexual people as nonexistent, or as something merely to be mocked
His refusal to treat them as anything but speshul snowflaeks has turned them into a mockery of both themselves and of good writing.

So what is Korrasami going to be like in whatever Legend of Korra extension that comes out next like in some new comics or something?

I like how Korra's legend is being the first out brown skinned lesbian. Not for being particularly badass or for any heroic deed, but because she held hands with a girl.

I wouldn't even consider then close friends considering how little Asami impacted the plot in the grand scheme of things.

I'm betting that they hadn't decided on the final pairing until Nick cut their funding and they had to do that clip show. I think that's the point where they realized the only way they could save face was to be "revolutionary".

Using homosexuals as a marketing ploy so you can pretend to be "progressive" doesn't seem very flattering to the gay community. Bryke aren't treating gays equally here, they're treating them as an entertainment resource.

No, they only act as if they saw it coming after it happened. Before the ending aired, they were the ones telling everyone how Korrasami has literally 0% chance of happening because Nick wouldn't allow it.

They did everything possible to spell it out for some of you retards. You would all take nothing scenes like this to mean something just because it's hetero, yet when Asami is literally the only person Korra has contact with for YEARS, it means nothing. Also Asami says the exact same stuff Mako said at an earlier time. Take off the hetero lenses faggots.

Problem is they just don't do anything an actual romantic couple would do like, you know show affection, human emotions towards each other or generally do ANYTHING to indicate they were above friends. Shit it was tricky to even call them that, the just seemed like comrades honestly.

>>68193162
Just watch, once homosexual relationships in media become common, there will be no more friendships anymore. Nothing will be safe from the sexual tension.

Assuming they can get enough investors together to do more Avatar universe series, have they said whether or not they're going to do the next series with a hero protagonist again instead of a girl? Avatar: Beach Volleyball was okay, but I'd rather have a real adventure for the next season.

Nick owns the right's I believe, so they could revive the series. But the writers have said that's it- there are done with Avatar. ATLA comics are still going to happen, but anything Korra might not happen again. Really doubtful Nick will do anything anyway, considering how appalling LoK did.

I'm one of the people that acknowledges that this showed the growth of their relationship at the beginning of the season by why the hell did she only contact Asami?
It still seemed incredibly cheap because it could have been anybody but Asami was arbitrarily picked and now we're supposed to retroactively say: "Oh I guess it was because she loved her...maybe?"

There is no way to look at this that does not show that it was terribly written at best and shoehorned agenda pushing bullshit at worst.

So the lipstick lesbians ending was the "activate singalong mode" of it all?

Why did Korra do so shittily ratings-wise after the first season? Is it because the quality of the show is really poor and the first season only did well off the steam of ATLA? Or was it because the changed the times from Saturday morning to Friday at night?

I dunno man. From Mai's first appearance, there was ship bait with her and Zuko. One of the things Ty Lee even says to convince her to join them is "Maybe you'll see Zuko again".

Honestly their relationship was probably the most realistically written one, if for no other fact than they had dumb teenage fights like "why are you talking to this guy at a party?!"

now imagine what you'd be saying if Azula were the one hunting the avatar, Zuko were the one collecting Mai and Ty Lee, and Mai hooked up with Azula off screen between seasons 1 and 2

No, I'm a straight man who is annoyed that the very natural thing of being attracted to two hot girls being in a romantic relationship with each other is being demonized by woman hating cocksuckers such as yourself all in the name of fighting the SJW boogeyman.

>Aang is unambiguously crushing on Katara by the end of the pilot
He's twelve and was just defrosted by a cute girl, after living in what I'd imagine was a pretty highly masculine environment that was the air nomad temple. It made sense, and his crush progressed as he grew older and got to know more about her.
>Sokka and Yue are starcrossed lovers after a week
I'll give you that. It was pretty forced.

The big different here was that Yue was a one off character that only appeared very briefly. Asami was a sort of constant throughout the entire show and half of her screentime was about wanting Mako's dick.

It doesn't make sense and wasn't clearly explained why she'd suddenly getting a hankering for carpet and why Korra would be the one she'd want to munch.

To pull it out of your ass to get in good with them is one thing. Fine okay. Didn't expect much of you in the first place after the first 2 seasons.

To be all "OH YEAH THEY'RE TOTES LESBIANS AND HERE'S WHY" to drive it home actually gets to me a bit.

If you actually read the post, it was not planned all along. Makorra was the end game when they only had one season. After they got extended they figured that couple wouldn't work and they made it clear at the end of season 2. They kicked around the idea of Korrasami after that, and them decided that was the direction they wanted to go, building their relationship in seasons 3 and 4.

Are all the scenes the same, just with Zuko and Azula switched, or just the ones you mentioned?
Because if EVERYTHING else was the same, up to and including the whole implied sex scene and Mai helping Azula escape from prison, I wouldn't complain.

If Azula was a lesbian under those circumstances it'd be fine. But I'm also assuming it'd require a lot of personality rewrites because as she is now it's hard to picture her as capable of loving another person.

The difference was that Aang was wanting that water tribe pussy since the first fucking episode. You didn't have just friendly moments that built up to the kiss at the end. That's not how most relationships work, you don't gain enough friendship levels to achieve the Romantic Partner class.

No, from the get go Aang wanted to make it romantic. You are a dirty fucking liar if you're telling me that from early on Asami wanted romance with Korra.

Like it, hate it, whatever, but don't fucking lie to me and say it wasn't pulled straight out of the writer's ass at the last moment.

If you wanna talk about the problems talk about the problems don't claim the ending you dislike is bad because its pandering and they are now hacks
>>
>>68193489
if you do a google news search for Korra, the media is lavishing them with praise for being brave, groundbreaking, and progressive.

They are getting so much attention and recognition for this, the show is getting undeserving praise and will obviously get Emmys and other awards which it wouldn't have gotten if it didn't have this little 20 second scene at the end. Korra is getting all this attention that it wouldn't have before.

Sokka spent every moment Yue was onscreen crushing on her.

Yes it is, but the characters never really expressed that in any meaningful way. Just diagnosing them as "bi" still leaves a shitton of questions, like when exactly did Korra and Assmi figure out they were both gay? And attracted to one another?

Eh. Just a shitty capstone for a mediocre series.

Funny how people are trying to act like this is some huge step or something, when Asami is one of if not the most underdeveloped character in the entire series, and their 'relationship' is laughably contrived.

Does go to show how far things have fallen when creators are actively pandering to the shippers.

Won't stop me jerking off to it though.

If you completely ignore the ending Mass Effect 3 was a rushed and troubled production that got fucked over by EA something hardcore. It's playable, but not up to the quality of the previous installments and had a lot of moments that grated on long time fans.

Like for example, there's the way the conversation mechanics got changed. In 1 and 2 you could talk to your crew and choose what you wanted to ask them and get more information. In 3, those conversations are "agree with x" or "agree with y"; no middle route, no more info.

Then there's the on disc DLC of Javik, which meant unless you were willing to pay extra you missed out on a lot, Beef Flanksteak rather than any of the long term mainstays, textures being poorly reused to the point that they're mapped to things backwards in some places, Liara being shoved down your throat regardless of whether or not you romance her, time and resources spent on poorly digitizing Jessica Chobot, while Tali's reveal can't even manage to match up to fan art in quality, bugs out the wazoo like the engineering bay duo somehow not talking unless you saved Ashley all the way back in part one.

It was a mess, ending aside. And rather than admit as such, they played the "If you hate this game you're entitled and probably a homophobe" card.

This annoys me the most, since she AND Asami turn bi at the same time, as if sexuality is that fluid and all the gays/bi are getting beaten up because it's their choice. As if spending time with your friends makes you interested in them sexually.

It's like if, I don't know, Goku hooked up with Vegeta out of the blue despite all the previous relationships and calling all bonding moments more than platonic.

Directly from Bryke. I can't even use hyperbole for this shit. I can't fathom it. This is written by Brian himself. I thought the people saying they were going to use it to attack those criticizing the series were just trolling, or paranoid retard /pol/tards.

That's been the case since the first production image, where her back was to the viewer. The media was going "She's brown! And look at those back muscles! Show of the millennium!"

And /co/ was right there with them, until the show actually started and she spent more time doing relationship bullshit and probending than being the badass we all wanted.

Korra was never going to be as good as we imagined it.

I'm sorry what? I'm delusional when you insist that we ignore 3 seasons of canon?

Even if Makorra was the "original" end game, it was terrible. Did you watch season 1? it was literally the worst written romance I had ever seen.

True, there'd be less bitching about it. It'd just be a shitty romance instead of a shitty homosexual romance.

The thing is, though it'd still be shitty. It'd still be last minute, and it'd still be dumb. But now with the carpet munching icing on this fuckcake, they made it EVEN FUCKING DUMBER.

>>68193563

Look at that. It's even more retarded because now we are no longer just dealing with a dumb and last minute romance, but one that requires breaking from the "heteronormalty". You need to talk about this shit, to explain it. You need to make it clear if you want to pull this.

They didn't.

And furthermore, fuck off with your "hetero lens" shit. We'd be calling the scenes arguably platonic even if one of them was sporting a five foot cock.

You were saying that there was just as much hinting at Korrasami as there was Kataang. But Kataang wasn't subtle, so if Korrasami is, then there wasn't as much hinting, hetereonormative lens or no lens.

The way I see it is this. Korra wanted to be wanted. Everyone kept telling her that they have everything covered that they wouldn't need her. Korras whole thing was being the avatar it was being wanted being useful but know all her friends are leaving her behind. All but Asami. She was the first one to be there for Korra and make feel as though she still mattered. I think that had a big part to do with them becoming close. Asami more than likely spent most of her day with Korra if she wasn't rebuilding the city. So safe to assume they really got to know each other. But because each season was 12 episodes they couldn't actually show that. It would be up to the viewer to understand that. But this is myMySpace cents on the matter.

>Imagine if either Asami or Korra were a dude.

let me review what we have. the strong independent little girl ended in many divorces and children hating her with such passion. what does it says to you? Toph as heterosexual is a failure. the right way for such people is go right into homosexuality as the only way. now to the adults: all marriages of the heroes ended in failures. they got divorced or even failed simple Friendships. there are only 2 relative accomplished relationships: the son of Avatar married with absolutely devote female. and Koras Parents living traditional watertight ways.
Even the lesbbro thing of Kora is like "ohh look we failed relationship with boys by behaving as bitches so lets go together on lesbro trip to completely another world."

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

Honestly it's kind of sexist that Korra HAS to end up with someone at all. A woman doesn't NEED to be in a relationship to have a happy ending.

how?

how does it make it dumber?

I don't even think it makes it dumber, but the fact you phrased it like this shows the flaws in your argument like this. Bisexuality is normal. Homosexuality is normal. Your comment reeks of the implication that queer romances have to work twice as hard to be "justified" as heterosexual ones.

they don't NEED to justify Korra and Asami's relationship because they're bi. They like boys and girls. They stopped being attracted to Mako and became attracted to one another. Because this happens and you don't need to be lusting for someone's genitals from meeting them to fall in love with this later; this happens in real life.

but let's be real here. The whole series could be dedicated to Korrasami and you fucks would call it pandering.

Most people are just annoyed because they see it as a ploy to deflect criticism from the mediocre ending to a 6/10 series that is somehow being praised despite its mediocrity.

Most people don't care about the lesbians, they care that it wasn't built up nearly as much as most romances in most shows like this are, and the subsequent 'well ur just a homophobe' nonsense the creator is espousing.

But yeah manbabbies, those who want actual well written characters and arcs are poopy dumb dumbs.

Motherfucker is really pulling the "our story isn't bad, youre homophobe card".

I would love a Korra-Asami day out the same way Poison Ivy and Harley had in Batman the animated series, two characters with very different views working together, and in Korra case, getting in love. But no, all you get is offscreen interaction, just like every other important thing in the show. Because Opal-Bolin drama is so much important, didn't you see them in the finale?

It was the opposite. Korra left all of her friends (and family) behind.

Korra contacted Asami first and made her promise not to tell anyone about where she was or what she was doing. Anybody could have played Asami's part in Korra's 6 month emo adventure around the world but Asami was picked because ???????

You're not going to listen to me, but no, they aren't. They aren't extremely rare or anything, but they aren't "normal". And that's fine, if they wanted to broach the concept of homosexuality in the avatar universe. Go ahead, do it.

But if you're going to do it, fucking talk about it. Show the steps they must take in order to get to that realization. Show the confession, show the fright. Show all that stuff, because at the end of the day that's what matters. It grounds the characters and makes them easier to relate to, and it draws us into their relationship.

They didn't do that. They didn't approach the topic with any respect or any interest in examining it and how the characters relate to it. No, they did it to appease fucks like you who will eat it up because it's easier that way.

People are REALLY overhyping that fucking scene. I don't even understand why they say that it's a "redemption" arc. Mako had nothing to redeem.

But suddenly everyone who hates Korra/Asami grabs onto that scene as epic and worthwhile character development just to make their whining seem relevant.

I think you're giving it too much credit. There was a large contingent of posters waiting to shit on Korrasami fans when the ship inevitably didn't sail (and confessed as much), and now that the rug's been pulled they're still going for that last hurrah in whatever way they can

Harley and Ivy works considering their personalities. Harley is overly dependent and thus attracted to anyone that can tell her what to do, and Ivy is pretty clearly an omnisexual, to the point that we see her having sex with trees, so it stands to reason she can scissor with the best of them.

They're "normal" in the way that they fall in love with people is the exact same as other people falling in love

and you know what

speaking as a closeted bisexual man who can only talk about this under the veneer of anonymity, I am so FUCKING TIRED of stories about sad lesbians and queer boys and bisexuals that makes their romantic arc all about the pain and angst

This was a rushed last minute romance shoehorned in at the last second to attempt to make the ending more memorable. It was not a great Shakespearean effort throughout the show that culminated in Korra and Asami realizing their love for one another. This guy just has an almost unbelievable belief in his own self importance (and talent) considering when the training wheels were taken off with Korra and he didn't have a writing team propping him up the show had absolutely abysmal writing (and was widely panned for it).

Those guys really think that anyone can switch from bi/homo/hetro in a sec and that spending time with your friends = growing to love them sexually? this is fucking disturbing.

Even if they both were bi and then became aware later, it comes off really weird, like they think they are progressive but don't know what they are talking about.
>>
>>68193848

That isn't how people work nevermind the core fandom nevermind tumblr. The pro are screaming with just as much bias as the anti.

I don't write their comments off because of it, it's just the nature of it. At least they're trying to form an argument based on their perception rather than screaming platitudes or calling people names.

>>68193874

Korra had more romantic moments with Bolin than with Asami. There's no misinterpretation, just an underdeveloped romance shoehorned at the end for brownie points.
>>
>>68193814

Anon, how do you think this blessed would have reacted if they actually did an "after school special" kind of reveal talking about their struggles with their homosexual urges?

If people here think holding hands is pandering, then I don't even know what talking about the struggles of being Bi would be considered.

Also I doubt that shit would fly with Nick. They said in the post, they had to be a bit more subtle.

This is the right answer. I think Bryke are actually just taking advantage of the community and Korrasami fanbase to have them "be together" without actually establishing any kind of real relationship.

Why did they have to force ship Korra with someone instead of her just being good friends with everyone

The romance in LoK was all awful and Korra x Asami wasn't developed at all in the show they were just good friends

No two couples fall in love the exact same way, boyo. Every couple is different, every relationship is different. All the circumstances are different, and the high and lows are different.

>the fear and fright comes from society judging them and people telling them it's wrong and that no one will love them and the knowledge they'll have to struggle to overcome homophobia
Or, y'know, given how Korra and Asami were both fighting over Mako, it could have been about them both being afraid the other wasn't down for a tumble? Shit, it practically writes itself.

>speaking as a closeted bisexual man who can only talk about this under the veneer of anonymity, I am so FUCKING TIRED of stories about sad lesbians and queer boys and bisexuals that makes their romantic arc all about the pain and angst

It was presented as a friendship in the episode. Never read the comics aside from one that was posted here recently, and never had an interest in shipping whatsoever.

look sportsfan, saying people tend to view things in the context of heteronormativity isn't being homophobic. it's something people tend to do.

Being heteronormative isn't being homophobic, it's seeing it as a default
>>
>>68193878

Romantic and platonic relationships aren't built up separately. It is possible to start off as friends and grow to something more. The point is they built up a strong relationship in season 3, that grew to more than just friends (which definitely felt like it was hinted at, most obviously when Korra blushes at a normal compliment). The anon saying they had like 5 scenes together is wrong.
>>
>>68193961
It was pretty stupid of them to say that. This is obviously a case of the last scene being all that matters.

If you believed they were actually romantically involved or interested in each other before the final scene: YOU. ARE. AN. IDIOT.

The final scene was the only thing to establish it. If they had both not had that you would have been simply looking like Zutarians.

Korra is a terrible person, but she's hot.

If they actually wanted to make it integral to the characters, then I daresay it'd cease to be pandering. Pandering is what they did, a cheap, no effort action that is guaranteed a positive response. It's taking advantage of the ultra liberal newspheres and an excuse to avoid actually doing any work on the shoddy writing.

Eh, I think as long as you're moderate about your feelings towards something you can even entertain a thought that you were completely opposed to.
But fangirls/boys can't do that.
They might even try, but they're just too far gone.

There's no worth to arguing with them.
Personally I had very little stake in the whole matter. I was very much opposed to Makorra because of how much it had harmed the show.
Which is why I was kinda hoping for a completely platonic ending by Season 3.
But the fact that Asami and Korra had some key moments together and seemed have a good sort of character dynamic going, makes me entirely okay with the implication of a relationship.

I mean I'd fully expect it to be quite terrible if Bryke had written it out, because they barely know how human interaction works (almost less so than Tomino, who can only write autists).
But as fat as things went this was completely okay in my book.
So I don't get the people foaming at their mouths, saying Korrasami has no basis and no right to exist. But likewise it's way too weak to go out and praise Bryke for their genius, progressive, eye-opening storytelling. Come the fuck on. This wasn't exactly "Blue is the warmest colour".

What are you even talking about? At no point in the Avatar universe has anyone ever been shown to have homophobic tendencies all you're doing is projecting real world struggles on a fictional world where by all appearances they don't exist.

>speaking as a closeted bisexual man who can only talk about this under the veneer of anonymity, I am so FUCKING TIRED of stories about sad lesbians and queer boys and bisexuals that makes their romantic arc all about the pain and angst

Me too, thankfully if Bryke had fleshed out Korrasami as he should have we would have seen there was no need for any pain or angst (outside the usual associated with Korra) because the world didn't really care that they were lesbians.

>so you know what, you can take your comment about the difficulty and the fear and the fright and... do whatever you want with it. But don't pretend you're fucking "respecting" us by saying things like that.

All he's saying is there should have been time and effort dedicated to showing Korra and Asami had feelings above being friends for one another and struggling with that. Mind you I say struggle NOT as a lesbian but as two people who don't want to ruin a friendship when they're unsure of how the other feels. You know... normal stuff because there relationship is normal and should have been treated like (hopefully better) every other inane relationship throughout the show.

So stop with all your supposed anger and realize that the only thing we all want was that Korrasami have some time and fucking effort devoted to it if Bryke wants it to have any real meaning outside of the irrational love everyone lauds on it because they're lesbians.
>>
>>68194005
Why are you treating your interpretation as objective truth?

What are you even talking about, the whole show was as straight as you can be and every aspect of the show from the theme to the theme song oozes it and Mako is the posterchild with her main role in the story being supporting the main couple and her main side plot being getting shipped with the beefcake. Ryumako was a real Zutara, a bunch of jackasses who grossly took things out of context and then clamped on to that when they were told straight up they were wrong.

Except not "picking up" on Korra and Asami's "love" is not being "heteronormative" "seeing things as default" "hetero lens" "being a close minded bigot" whatever you wanna call it.

No one "picked up on it" because it was fucking terribly written "romance" by hacks who will hopefully never get work again.

Brian is LITERALLY covering for the shit writing and character relationships in this show by calling you "hetero-whatever not realizing bisexual people exist"

>Spending time with friends indicates romance
>Also means that male friends can't spend time with female friends without it coming off as romantic
>Strong female lead can't end without a relationship

They pulled this out of their asses at the last moment when Korra would've forgotten in time, and collect LGBT points WITHOUT actually giving them anything concrete since the show has ended with a chicken-shit ending that is still vague enough to be platonic.

Honestly I'm not sure how to feel about it. When I first saw the finale I thought, yeah this is total bullshit fan pandering. On the other hand, Korrasami shippers kind of ruined this for me with how damn obnoxious they were. Even if it turned out canon I was pretty annoyed with anyone shipping the pairing. So every time they interacted I probably ONLY wanted to see them as friends. You ruined this for me /co/ and I have zero problem with lesbians/bisexuals.

You only choose to see it as that, it's more in tune with Korra being a tomboy and is taken by the fact that someone beautiful like Asami would compliment her.

>The anon saying they had like 5 scenes together is wrong.
He's not, they crammed a few scenes with them together and suddenly said they had a romantic relationship. ATLA displayed how to showcase the development of a romantic relationship clearly and with several very brief scenes and indications of love/affection/interest in the other party.

If not for the final scene and Bryke's word you would have had NOTHING.

If your character development hinges on a single scene AND an official word from the writers it was not developed or displayed properly.

As a gay man myself(who never watched Korra before, only seen ep1 of the original series) this is the eternal prosecution mindset that just makes me hate /lgbt/ and my community.

So they're really going with the yuri route. That's fine and all but that doesn't excuse the series as a whole being rushed, half-assed, and poorly written.
"Heternormative lens " memes aside, when you dodge criticism by accusing the critics of secretly being bigots, that's not a good look.
I personally don't see why we should excuse bad writing just because it gives us lesbians.
That's not to say that I'm opposed to lesbians, but they could've done more, you know?
Perhaps show them dating, or have one of them give more of an indication that they were bisexual before the end game.
On the other hand, it's not like Korra has a lot of relationship experience anyway, so maybe she never knew she was bi?
Seriously disappointed in how the franchise ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper and accusations of bigotry if you disagree.
That's what we should take away from this. Gay, straight, or pansexual, Bryke can't write and Korra was crap.

I had a very similar opinion on the end, I wasn't shipping anyone at all during any of it and was just content for it to end without any complications.

It was just the heavy handed bluntness of the final few scenes threw me. I can reluctantly see the key moments between the two, it just leaves me kinda numb. After ATLA ended I remember buzzing for a bit just in being content, this just left a void. Perhaps by the finality of it all. I think that's whats clouded a lot of my responses the past few days, a lot of it has been fecetious for the sake of it. That and in comparison to how other relationships were handled was night and day. All the love triangle stuff had me rolling my eyes, the back and forth of it all.

I think its just a strange note to end something on, it's a huge revelation about the protagnist with no follow up.

I don't think Nick would allow them to be too blatant about it as it would piss of some conservative parents.

But, I must agree with some that the quality of Korra was very jumpy, bad pacing, and no sense of working on a grander scale, each season felt way to isolated.

But again, I get the feeling people would still bitch about pandering and such even if William Shakespeare would have wrote it.
Otherwise we would just discuss the writing quality without having to mention their bisexuality.

>The point is they built up a strong relationship in season 3, that grew to more than just friends (which definitely felt like it was hinted at, most obviously when Korra blushes at a normal compliment). The anon saying they had like 5 scenes together is wrong.

You're out of your fucking mind, your own irrational need to justify a Korrasami pairing is making you see import in what would otherwise be completely innocuous gestures between friends. Sorry but one scene where she blushes at a compliment (a straight girl being embarrassed at being singled out and complimented for her appearance? Clearly that would never ever happen!) and another where they mention that Korra and Asami are penpals (something completely normal for two females of similar age who are friends) does not make for even a remotely realized storyline for a relationship.

Holy fuck, peoples ability to rationalize and glorify something so obviously lacking because it serves their own need to justify their own desires never fails to amaze. But clearly hand holding and hugs between two girls must mean they're SUPER GEYH and not that they're just friends, I guess that's the take away here.

I never said she was or wasn't, there's an entire thing we can go into about Mako and her entire family's visual gags, but even if Mako's feelings were lust fueled, it's not mutual because Ryuko's heart literally belongs to her clothes. And in fact Mako endeared herself to Ryuko in the first place because she respected and supported that fact.

You're just cherry-picking and ignoring the bulk of the entire show and even Mako's side of things.

Do you believe what you are saying or are you just delusional?

ATLA and many other shows you what you need to display for romantic cues to be established.

Korra and Asami did not do that. Any claims of romantic notions by the fanbase by their scenes were discarded as "You sound like insane zutarans" and rightly so.

You need to have moments that CLEARLY show there is romantic interest. Korra and Asami did not have those.

Aang and Katara did.

At least this way there is SOME trust that's built between her and the characters (and audience) so that she doesn't immediately come off as Girl Mussolini early on the last season

I said it that hetro was the default and it is. Also I'm not sure if you were paying attention, but the numbers make it very uncommon. Bisexuals are apparently less then 2% of the overall population. Pedophiles have a higher percentage. Let me repeat that; pedophiles are more common then bisexuals.

Again take off your hetero lens. You're basically saying that there was nothing the creators could do short of making them say they wanna fuck each other that could have convinced you. Asami is literally the only person Korra has contact with for three years. Do you know how close you would feel to the only human you speak to for 3 years? You say that's not enough. Korra blushes around her. That's not enough. They can hug and smile and grip each others hands and you'll call it just what friends do. Take off the hetero lens.

Aang and Katara were a heterosexual relationship. Aang and Katara also got to kiss at the end. Korra and Asami did not. It's clear that one was given much more leeway for romance (Katara and Aang) and one wasn't (Korra and Asami). However the hints were still there and very obvious for anyone not wearing the hetero lens.

It wasn't 3 years though going by the argument in reunion. Asami explicitly asks why Korra was gone for 3 years, if they were so close and in regular contact that would have been covered.

No doubt they wrote a bit explicitly to each other, but again mako wasn't somebody korra wanted to talk to and bolin wouldn't have had much to say going by their first letters.

Just because the shows creators say something happened doesn't mean it did if they didn't fucking show it. By your reasoning Mako secretly turned into a dragon every full moon, Bolin was actually Justin Timberlake in disguise and Tenzin didn't actually airbend he just had a whole bunch of humming birds tucked away in his robes he had trained really well.

Just because the shows creators decide to stay something has far more import than it really does to milk it for all its worth doesn't mean it does. They needed to either do the fucking work to really develop Korra and Asami's relationship or they can fuck right off with their last minute asspull.

Well, ending a show on an implication might have me butthurt.
But frankly, Korra going lez affects very little about anything in the entire show.
So my problem is more that the show chose to go out on something inconsequential like that.

Maybe it should have been paired with something more fundamental.
I didn't appreciate how Tenzin got the shaft.
He was the only consistently good relation Korra ever had.

They should have had Korra and Asami on the verge of making out.
Then Tenzin clears his throat, standing behind them.
Asami gives Korra a wink and tells her that she'll see her later.
Then Korra and Tenzin have their final conversation.

Fucking this. I don't give the slightest shit whether Korrasami is canon or not, but people must surely be able to grasp what's actually going on here - They're using the idea of doing something "important" and "progressive" to cover for the shows failings and deflect all other criticism.

A subtle, yet powerful, relationship was between Iroh and his son. They could had make him a normal dad, occasionally mentioning his son, but they actually made a powerful memorial and constantly displayed his grief.

Korra didn't had enough, or powerful enough, to make it a romatnic relantionship bloom in the last episode.

Authors only have power if the fans give it. Take Star Wars for instance, midichlorians are intended to be canon by Lucas.

It's actually VERY hard to find any "fan" that accepts midichlorians though as they've pretty much made it very clear barring actually burning Lucas alive that midichlorians are retarded and not part of Star Wars because of how retarded they sound.

Writers are people, people make mistakes and other people correct them.

>You're basically saying that there was nothing the creators could do short of making them say they wanna fuck each other that could have convinced you.

You don't seem to understand there is a middle ground in most things do you? How about I would have been happy if there had been some effort to include gestures between Korra and Asami that show that they have feelings stronger than those of completely typical friendship. That doesn't mean that Korra has to jump out with a strap-on, but something where she makes a point of seeking time alone with Asami, or gives her undue attention or just engages in any of the plethora of completely typical gestures involved in ANY relationship that categorize them as more than friendship. I assume all that is just far too much to ask, its got to be eyefucking or nothing amirite?

>Asami is literally the only person Korra has contact with for three years.

Who else was she supposed to talk to? In case you hand't noticed she doesn't have a ton of friends especially female ones around her age who are sympathetic and understand what she's gone through. But what she could have written to Bolin! Wait no. What about Mako! Wait nope there too. Lin? Nope. Tenzin. Nope. Penma? Nope. Varric? Nope. I think her choices were fairly limited.

>You say that's not enough. Korra blushes around her.

Someone blushing at a compliment on their physical appearance in front of others making them embarrassed? I'm glad to know the only time that happens is when two people want to fuck. Now I can just go around complimenting peoples appearance and see who blushes to see who is into me. Thanks!

Korra was at her home with her family and her people for 3 years. She wrote to Asami for some of that period. I don't think Korra was just living in isolation, we see her getting treatment from Katara and eating with her parents.

Well, Asami was the only one of her friends who was female, and therefore it would be less embarrassing to be taken care of by (funny how that turned out). Though Pema or Kya (or maybe her FUCKING PARENTS) really would have made more sense.

I guess it was more for emotional support than the physical stuff. Girls are better at that stuff, and having someone her own age to talk to must have helped a bit.

That's the fan-canon that is the best way to believe it.

But Lucas's "word of God" was that midichlorians give people the Force since they are the ones that are connected to the Force and not people, only midichlorians can communicate and harmonize with the Force. Sometimes the midichlorians talk to people and let them hear the Force too

Yep, it's needlessly convoluted and stupid.

Oh...midichlorians are also intelligent.

Yeah, it's that fucking stupid.

>"Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force. They continually speak to us, telling us the will of the Force. When you learn to quiet your mind, you'll hear them speaking to you."

What you're saying is that two females can't hug or hold hands or engage in physical contact without it being a overtly sexual gesture? Is that it. Something tells me you need to observe more teenage girls, in fact the message you're sending is that the only time two girls can physically contact each other is if they're lesbians which is frankly about one of the most male hetro fantasies I've ever heard.

>Take off the hetero lens.

How about you take off your shipping blinders. I know you really want to support Korrasami because it makes you so progressive but if you really gave two shits about LGBT anything what you'd really want is a same sex relationship to be given the same amount of time and attention allocated to any of the other numerous relationships time was wasted on throughout the show. But I guess table scraps is enough for you as long as you can claim a (hollow) victory for lesbians everywhere when in fact you're only setting the a precedent that it takes very little appease the LGBT fanbase as long as it results in their ship being realized no matter how poorly handled and last minute it is.

In other words, anyone who doesn't see things exactly my way must only view the world as a heterosexual does? Get over yourself, I'm viewing this discussion as someone who would be upset about ANY relationship between ANY two characters of ANY sex being as hamfistedly handled as Korasami was. It irks me that it is given undo love just because it's between two women glossing over the fact that it was poorly handled and not given nearly the time time and attention that it should have. I guess it must be those hetro lenses blinding me again for wanting a homosexual relationship to be given the same amount of love as any of the other myriad ones that clogged up the show.

Darth Plagueis is the direct cause of the birth of Vader. Which is stupid because they think he is the chosen one, but he isn't cause Star Killer is.

But now Star Killer isn't the chosen one either because Abrams said only the movies are canon in the new trilogy.

Did you not watch the show? That's exactly what she did by only writing Asami in those 3 years. And you could see that Mako was very upset about it so he thinks he was giving Asami undue attention.

Maybe Tenzin, or Varric, or Penma or Lin or wait... none of those work.

Especially considering lesbians aren't even controversial anymore.

If Bryke really wanted to be a progressive LGBT champion he should have devoted some time to developing a trans relationship in his show, but that would take balls... both literally and metaphorically.
>>
>>68194227
She was seen around Zao Fu multiple times, as a guard, fighting the Red Lotus in the city, then on Laghima's peak, had her face on Lin's paper, saved Korra's dad.

She had more build up than Unalaq and Zaheer with the Red Lotus did, and as we saw with B2, villains didn't follow the scale of creeping stakes.

Honestly, all he is saying is that if you rewatch the show not assuming Korra is exclusively into men then the Asami relationship seems obvious, which I agree with.

I guess hetero lens sounds like kind of a SJW-y word, but it also accurately describes what he's saying.

Personally, I like that their romance was never the focus of the show and was instead portrayed as 2 people who came to love each after becoming friends.

This was my opinion as well.

If they'd kept Korrasami completely platonic and not had that very last second of lovingly looking each other in the eyes, it would have been a heartfelt moment of lady broness, which would have paid off just as well without stirring up the SJW nest.

I think it only became explicitly romantic in the last episode, but Korra and Asami had clearly been growing closer since season 3.

Honestly the fact that she only wrote to Asami while she was recovering should have at least been a red flag. Not to mention that fight they have over her dad and the subsequent apologies.

Lots of people complain about the writing, but I think they did a really good job as portraying Korra and Asami as two adults who really cared about each other feelings and emotional well-being

And I agree which is why the ending seemed so forced, especially with Bryke confirming it while stroking his ego at the Vanity Fair article.

Not to mention the artist who said they changed the ending last minute.

Korra had problems, but I liked that it had a much more centralized location and wasn't as focused on travel as TLA. I do wish we had spent more time in the Fire Nation instead of so much in the earth nation and water tribes, but I wasn't upset about how much focus there was on Republic City.

When I think back, I, along with everyone else, got a feeling that something more was happening with Asami and Korra, when Asami wanted to drop her multi-million dollar business to freeze her ass off in the south pole to be with Korra. This was back in Season 3. That, or we were just, "What? What the fuck is Asami thinking?" It wasn't thought out since the beginning of Korra's making, but it sure as hell wasn't planned at the last minute.
