Yeah, but, even if it is them trying to get progressive points, it's still girls kissing girls. That's like someone giving you a cake, and you found out they did it because they wanted to look good in front of whoever they're dating. You still get cake.

>>93930882

Sheesh, thank the spirits the future of the airbenders no longer depends on them. I'm pretty sure Tenzin's in the closet himself, but when you are the last airbender you don't have much of a choice. Must be why he waited until after Aang died to start making babies.

It's like a tumblr fan comic but they actually made it official.

all i'm saying is the gayer she got the less hot she got
>season 1
maximum heterosexuality, maximum rack, excellent stuff
>season 2
these are the darkest of the dark times so i don't like to talk about them, but we do have korra with her sex hair down a lot so that's nice
>season 3
korra's bust is noticeably smaller, this really occurred in season 2, but the sex hair thing made up for it more back then. the only time korra has sex hair this season is when she's in the process of dying and that gives me complicated emotions.
>season 4
dyke haircut which is subjectively cute to some (me) but it removes the appeal of sex hair, and with the shrunken bust, all that's left is her abs and that can't carry a girl for me
>comics
she became a stick. she's just a brown girl with blue eyes now and at that point you may as well just go for katara. she's lost everything except a subjectively cute short haircut.

also asami remained largely the same level of hotness but i think that's more of a testament to how static asami is as a plot devi- i mean character.

Earth bending is officially the best. Hasn't produced any gay people I believe?

>>93931205
Lesbians in fiction are never portrayed as anything short of perfect. The only time they're allowed to have flaws is when the rest of the cast are lesbians as well.

>>93931045
Well then just see the second part. Lesbians are lame.

>>93931045
>That's like someone giving you a cake, and you found out they did it because they wanted to look good in front of whoever they're dating. You still get cake.
More like, because they just wanted to look good, the cake they made turned out to be just frosting sprayed over a cardboard cutout.

>>93931216
My dude, she was the hottest she'd ever been in Book 4.

Bob > Retard knots

>>93931244
well that seems to be the case in korra so no worries

>>93931045
Lesbians are boring man. The cake is too plain.

>>93930676
Yeah the first volume is just about Korra and Asami telling everyone they're dating and the only one who has a "problem" with it is Mako so that'll probably be addressed later on.

>>93930845
Kya being gay is awesome, Korrasami just sucks.

I suppose that's where he was going with this.

Mike said in an interview that the conflicts won't ever reach the level of tension or impact they did in the show. The comics are really just about Korrasami.

Also most of the comic is already online:

It's missing a few pages though like OP's.

Kya is a good role model to queer youths.

>>93930979
>a shit load of lesbians around

So that's what Bryke was going for.

>>93931389
When Kya first showed up and we saw she had no kids it quickly became a popular crack theory and I'm 99.9% sure Bryke just read a tumblr post about it and made it canon.

anime almost never delivers on the shipping aspects, for how much it teases yuri it never actually delivers in the end.

Well his and Kya's parts of the family tree end with them. Kya's a pearl diver so she *probably* doesn't have any kids and we haven't heard of Bumi having a wife, but knowing his character he probably has a few illegitimate kids around somewhere.

Also Bryan admitted in an interview once that they just didn't have the time to really focus on extended family trees, hence why Sokka apparently ended up not having kids too.

Utena was going to be yuri, but some important producer or some higher up in charge was really homophobic so they were never allowed to directly confirm it was yuri. They did everything they could to strongly imply it though, and so many important parts of the show are in subtext so it kinda feels like that was just what they were going for anyway.

>>93931551
For all of their and their society's faults, the Japanese seem capable of telling fiction apart from reality, at least when it comes to themes.

Meanwhile Westerners, especially in today's current social climate, like to treat stories as another political platform where everything is a direct allegory of reality - so, if a woman is murdered, the author MUST be a misogynist; if the story has rape in it, then the author CLEARLY is a rapist! If the story doesn't dedicate half its screentime to Queer characters gushing about LGBT rights, then the author is an OBVIOUS homophobe; and so on. Which is also why when SJWs write anything, they produce the same brand of safe, inoffensive plot where nothing happens and no character faces any conflict or moral dilemma.

>>93931810
depends entirely on how you handle it. if it's a slowly building relationship that doesn't draw focus to the fact that the people in question happen to be gay, that's fine. if the two characters are already together and again, don't draw attention to it because the sexuality of the characters doesn't matter nearly as much as the synergy and chemistry of the relationship, that's fine. if the entire purpose of what you're writing is a focus on these types of relationships, that's walking a dangerous line of being preachy, but it's largely fine. korrasami was not this. it was an out of nowhere i don't even know what to call it where two girls who only showed signs of being heterosexual got together just because of progressive points that only decided to elaborate on why the two liked each other after the series proper had already concluded. i've seen plenty of poorly handled homos in more ways than one if you know what i mean but i've never seen anything that was quite as much of a colossal tidal wave of fuck-uppery as korrasami.

>>93930395
Akuma no Riddle
Strawberry Panic
Sakura Trick
Maria-sama ga Miteru
Yuri Kuma Arashi

Those are the ones I can think of from the top of my head, there's tons of actual yuri anime out there it's just that people confuse yuri subtext with actual yuri.

>>93931926
Anyone in Mako's situation has the right to find it awkward and even weird, regardless of sexual orientation or gender.

The only problem with this is since he's the only character to not have a positive reaction to their relationship it's obvious he's going to be the one asking all the uncomfortable questions, and Korra will get mad at him and she'll lay into him and everyone on the bus will stand up and clap because she's so brave. Mike's probably going to ignore that final scene between Mako and Korra from the series because Mako's the easiest scapegoat.

People who self-insert and need someone in the porn to be an acceptable avatar that matches the way they see theirself.

How the hell do you even think this gets anywhere close to the amount of homoshit that japan pumps out.

>>93931971
And also, Mike's probably *not* going to explore things from Mako's POV for the reasons I mentioned and because he's probably aware that to readers it'll look like he's trying to justify homophobia, when Mako's probably not actually homophobic.

Asami could just tell Korra "hey I can kinda understand where Mako's coming from, cut him some slack" but she won't.

See at 3:06, after Alexander kiss Bagoas the indians feel repulsed but they don't say anything, just quick looks because they were defeated and they're still on power because Alexander gave them back their position in exchange of becoming part of his empire. They're on a situation where they have to deal with it but it's just a quick mention. Is that hard to have something similar on LoK?

Clearly a bullet was dodged.

>>93932330
To be fair Korra and Asami have only come out to their close circle of friends, I don't think Mike really wanted the story to head in that direction.

Now, Korra is probably at her lowest in terms of popularity. She took away the one person working to stabilize the Earth Kingdom and she blew up Republic City, and then she ran away with her new girlfriend. Someone at some point not connected to the core group is going to spin that as a negative.

Holy shit, I don't care if Korra is gay but write it well. This series is filled with shit writing and to cover their asses they made this retarded fanship with two characters that had absolutely NO chemistry canon. And people actually ate this shit up and said "thank you" when they finished. Korra really grinds my gears and the worst part is it's a fucking sequel. So not only do you ruin the characters I love they ruin any chance for the series to be good, ever. Christ I can write a Plinkett review with all this pent up autism.

Bisexual women, yes. Gay men and dedicated lesbians? No. You don't get to abandon your reproductive duties until you have intensive agriculture, and enough population density so that you can be sure that some other member will pick up the slack.

Fire nation should have pederasty linked to martial training. Earth nation should have eunuchs and debauched as fuck imperial courts.

Of course the nations really shouldn't have shit that aligns with our modern concepts of homosexuality anyways. It's not gay if judy and judy tag team some senior officials.

>>93932628
Who the fuck said that you fucking idiot. Make shit up later when you can't link to the literal proof your talking out your ass

>>93932168

I hate this. Why did they need to introduce homophobia to the Avatar universe? Why retroactively make the cast of the original series bigots?

Unless instead it's just "Oh, being a gay woman is so hard and you have to be so strong, but don't worry, all of the characters you liked were totally cool and supportive asskissers, and it was just one-dimensional nazis that were against it."

Either way, fuck this. I've no problem with Korra and Asami being bisexual. But making the setting have identical identity politics to 2017 is just fucking stupid.

>>93930845
Because this is so obviously shoehorned you have to be willfully ignorant not to see the blatant cash grab bryke went, and continue to go for. For fucks sakes do you seriously think they wouldn't try to cater to a market of fiercely loyal cult members?

>>93932645
I think season 3 of Korra was legit the best season of Lok(Even if the ending was trying TOO HARD to be dramatic). I remember waiting for season 4 and thinking it would be the best one or at least great. In the end it turned out to be the Worst season of Avatar

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT. GET YOUR POLITICS OUT OF AVATAR. TLA did it perfect with the northern water tribe not allowing Katara to train because of tradition and all that. And it wove into the world and story seamlessly but why would Ozai make being gay illegal? When they were in the Firenation everyone seemed happy and chill. There were no goosestepping fire benders hunting for water benders hiding in attics they were just regular people. You could argue "It was to make more benders" but he didn't oppress the fire nation from what we saw. People were even allowed to make plays about the fucking Avatar so they were free to travel, people held parties on the beach, and etc. So why did he out law that one thing? It's like watching a fucking train crash in slow motion. Can't they just own up to their mistake and let Avatar die in peace.

>>93932663
>>93932696
They're all but stating that the Fire Nation, the antagonist faction in the original series, was tolerant and friendly to gay people until the evil Sozin, who also happens to be the Firelord that made of the nation an expansionistic empire and started the war, came into the picture and suddenly the poor homosexual were oppressed.

This is literally "LEL DRUMPF"-levels of stupid. It's like an inverse of the S4 ending, where they plainly write off the Earth Kingdom and casually say it has to be made a democracy because something something.

>>93932788
Korrasami is shit but I'm not sure what's so offensive about these parts other than Korra's non-reaction to finding out that people like her were possibly killed just for loving someone.

Sozin being homophobic is a low hanging fruit but does anyone really care? Kyoshi liking women has been a popular theory for years, why is it such a big deal that it ended up canon?

When the comic first leaked people were mad that the setting wasn't homophobic enough because it wasn't realistic. Now that there's confirmed instances of homophobia it's suddenly bad?

>>93932813
Korra and Asami aren't sucking dicks ever again.

This seems unlikely. A more likely scenario. If the gay dynamics from /lgbt/ is anything to go by, /co/ is now so gay that it's partially withdrawing from lesbianisim, or demanding higher quality lesbians.

>>93931730
>the Japanese seem capable of telling fiction apart from reality, at least when it comes to themes.
Because they realize its a fucking cartoon but make no mistake whenever they do use anime to push agenda it always turns out bad but luckily gays seem to be not a "hot button" in Japan for them to soapbox over say the "Diet" or declining birthrates.

>Sozin made homosexuality illegal
I can't believe Roku/Sozin has been sunk

Thats kinda how it always is, lots of things are okay or not even thought of as wrong until someone in power says it is. Look at shamanism and Pagan worship no one bated ab eye until a guy with an army showed up and said stop or else.

>>93932813
I'm sure they are stated as bisexual but I highly doubt their relationship will ever change now.

>>93932897
I meant to write "gays in the attic" but bending makes sense in the setting. The whole world revolves around it. The genocide was to stop the birth of the Avatar. But no where does it even hint they hate gays. Why would they care inuniverse? It's just them covering their asses for that shit ending.

>>93932938
>KORRA AND ASAMI NEED TO EXPERIENCE HOMOPHOBIA IT'S REALISTIC REEEEEEE
I've never said this. Because there's no proper reason for it in this setting. It's litterally just "Oh yeah this bad guy hated gays too I guess and this good guy was bi too, so yeah" Revisionist history is common in a militaristic dictatorship especially when you genocide benders just to stop the Avatar, but why would he stop his quest for world domination to say "Ya know what, fuck the gays".

That's right a theory based off nothing but the fact that she was a butch woman, she doesn't have much characterization to begin with so people thought making her gay would make her more interesting but once again that's just fandom bullshit what would her being bisexual mean anything?

None of the nations, expect maybe the Air Temples, were nice places to live; not at least at their respective capitals.

But apparently, and like >>93932701 said, now the local nazi allegories are the homophobes. If they had made the Earth Kingdom or the Water Tribes the ones that persecuted gays, then we may have gotten SOME hint of upcoming conflict. But as it stands, they're just pushing for black-and-white morality, where the bad guys were meanie bigots all along and you can kill them without feeling bad; hardly a surprise, because liberals love that.

>>93933083

Because it's world building? /co/ can't seem to make up its mind about this. Half of you want Korra and Asami to deal with real homophobia and see it have a presence in the setting, the other half want everyone to just magically be okay with it, but probably so nobody ever talks about it as opposed to just wanting gay people to be happy in a fictional setting.

It's more that Japan instantly assume everyone will grow up to fix into his/her predeterminate role on society, either a salaryman or a housewive, so it's OK to have fun. That's why Japan idealizes youth so much, it's the only period of life when people are allowed to not being mindless drones despite the sadistic Japanese education. Gays and lesbians often get married with the opposite sex and have families to pretend to be normal, living your life as you want is selfish on Japanese culture because you're bothering others. Only a brat can be selfish

>>93933140

That's my biggest gripe with this. TLA fleshed out all of it's characters, even the villains (except Ozai). You understood everyone's motivations and reason for doing what they were doing. Everyone had their own reasons and vision of what was right. Even Sozin, his conflict with Roku was top tier. But now we can't think or see things from the other side. Villains can't be people and bending is just punch magic.

>>93933109
Well yeah lol Korrasami is literally the first time Bryke ever acknowledged same-sex couples can happen in the setting. So either now they have to go with Korrasami being the first gay couple in the history of Avatar's world, or they gotta go back and see how LGBT people actually fit into the setting.

>Well given the family's obsession with perfect breeding and preserving the bloodline it wouldn't be surprising if Sozin thought that should extend to the rest of the country.
But we know this is false. Katara and Sokka were able to pass as Fire Nation no problem and they obviously aren't ethnically Fire Nation. They had no problem going out on the town at all in Book 3. Even blue eyed Aang was fine

>>93933225
>Villains can't be people
Sozin committed genocide I think he ruined his chances as being seen as a morally grey character with his own side of the story long before these comics dude. They probably went with Sozin because he already has a tarnished reputation.

Like they weren't gonna say Zuko made it illegal, or the old Earth King what's his face.

>>93933178
>Half of you want Korra and Asami to deal with real homophobia
If they had made the Earth Kingdom, the territory they spend most of their time in TLOK, that would've been a source of conflict. But making the Fire Nation the homophobes does the exact opposite, because now there is no moral dilemma about antagonizing Fire Nation people; you turn them into evil bigotted monsters that can be slain without experiencing any moral dilemma; just like when the protagonist discover the bad guy's mooks are actually robots so now they don't have to hold back and punch them through the chest.

>>93933287
Who said anything about homosexuality still being outlawed in the Fire Nation?

>>93933229
But going back and making everything black and white with "bad guys were bigots and good guys were open minded" is shit writing. The Earth kingdom (at least parts of it) were all for traditional gender roles, so where does that leave gay people? Same with the Northern Water tribe, they won't allow women in combat. So where do gay people fall? They could do some interesting things and see how the cultures they based the nations off of treat LGBT people traditionally but this is just a tacked on ending. And it's painfully obvious how little they care

>>93933178
So its not enough that the Fire Nation was warmongering sociopaths who participated in genocide they're now *gasp* homophobic! As if there weren't legit reasons to hate them before.

>>93933305
Well the part with Kyoshi implies the Earth Kingdom wasn't very open to it either, and that even she couldn't get them to accept it, Miss "I'm willing to kill to get what I want". It'd really help if someone would just post those damn pages.

>>93933264
Except we know his backstory and reason for doing what he did. He wasn't just a monster who was always a monster the story treated him like a person. We got to see how he fell and became a person whiling to commit genocide. I'm not saying what he did was right but we see his line of thinking. You know like a real person. Where does "out lawing same sex couples" fit into that? It feels cheap because it's just added on because he was a bad guy

I don't think the problem is that homosexuality was never recognized in the actual show. Just because we've never seen something doesn't it.

The problem was the ending came out of absolute nowhere with no real build-up at all. The "moments" that did exist can not possibly count. Two girls complimenting each other's hair is so normal it's laughable that it'd be to be explained how normal it is. Shit like that is what the problem is.

>>93933264
ATLA-era Bryke stated that the Fire Nation became an empire for pretty much the same reasons it happened in the real world: they industrialized first and needed the resources. Sozin was said to have felt regret over his actions during his last days.

TLOK-era Bryke says: fuck it, Sozin hated queer people!!

What little nuance about Sozin has been effectively removed.

The East Asian aesthetic used to actually mean something and have actual depth in the first series.

Now it just feels tacked on, like instead of a story that takes place in an asian inspired setting with eastern philosophy and ideas, it's a western story with western ideas with a fake oriental skin stapled on top of it.

Before you posted this I realized something similar. It's obvious they gave up from the start. Republic City is just a early 20th century western, more specifically American, big city. They didn't care to look at or guess what an Asian inspired culture would look like if it industrialized. They just copied and pasted what was familiar.

>>93933481
They could have looked at early 20th century Shanghai, Hong Kong or Tokyo, but Republic City is closer to New York than any of those.

There is nothing remotely asian about Republic City other than the surface level book cover of slanted roofs.

>>93933356
>What little nuance about Sozin has been effectively removed.
It's not in his last days he decreed that all same-sex couples should be killed. This along with all his other actions could be what was said that he felt regret over.

>>93933511
Korra only deals with fellow powerful and influential people like her gf the billionaire Asami, war hero/movie star Bolin, Chief of police Lin, and the airbenders who are now world police, so its a wonder why she hasn't dropped a lowly beat cop like Mako as a friend yet.

Oh fucking please, I've been bitching about that stupid goddamn platinum mech since the moment it showed up.

Introducing mecha into this show was a mistake, they clashed so hard with the rest of the setting.

Why does a kung fu magic action show need to have a giant fucking mecha with a laser cannon?

>>93933545
>google hong kong early 20th century
Er, well, they kind of did. Not really Bryke's fault that part of the world was undergoing colonization and westernization.

Honestly I think the setting was fine until book 4 when it felt like it started becoming more of a scifi.

Bryke have always been shit, anons.

>>93933587
I honestly feel like the giant mech was a real last minute addition.
Like they had already come up with the spirit vine tech ideas, and wanted to build a super weapon with it, but couldn't think of anything cool and just strapping it to a airship or boat seemed lame so they just decided giant robot it will be.

Is Korra a show for kids or adults? Make up your goddamn mind.

You know what the worst part of the giant robot at the end was?
not that it existed.
not that it made no sense how it could operate.
no, the absolute worst part was they didn't beat it by Korra going big and blue again somehow, for that absolute pottery of contrasts.
Machine vs Spirit
Industrialization vs Naturalization
Progress vs Traditionalism
Just an absolutely ridiculous final boss fight for such a stupid ridiculous show.

>>93930178
There's something almost admirable about how hard they're doubling down.

But yeah Korra was still utter shit compared to Avatar.

>>93933545
>>93933603
The problem is westernization out of fucking nowhere. Every culture is eastern and has eastern influence. During this time in real life the industrial influence was coming from the west. So it doesn't work in Avatar's setting. You can have an industrial era in TLA's universe but it would just look like the juxtaposition you see of rural japanese life and mines in old photographs. Here everything is just like the early 20th century US from the radio, to the movies, cars, etc. They even had fucking Howard Hughes. They didn't look into what life was like at all in early 20th century asia

Fuck off with that shit, whats a guy and a girl fucking? Conservative propaganda? Is Archie polygamy propaganda?

Aang should've been gay desu
None of this lesbian shit but a lonely chaste homo monk would've been the shit

>>93933711
That's because Hong Kong was in the middle of being westernized because it was basically forced onto them. As >>93933699 rightfully points out the Avatar setting wasn't forced into shit by any outside forces, it just naturally grew that way.

I'm on the fence about it because I agree, the setting turning out the way it did doesn't make much sense but Bryke didn't want it to stagnate which I can understand. Doing a 70 year timeskip just for everything to be the same way it was in Aang's time would've been pretty disappointing.

Shows like the Loud House do it write. Clyde has gay dads. Period. They never even call them gay, because why bother doing that when they never called Lincoln's parents straight?

If homosexuals actually gave a shit about being accepted, and not being treated liking victims, they would be pushing for people to treat them like normal people. When you put homosexuals on this huge pedestal and write some "woe is me for being gay" story that has nothing to do with gender politics then it's just pandering.

>>93933743

Kuvira wasn't about progress, she wanted the EK back to how it was which included the land that it clearly always had since the world began and the heavens decreed by divine right that those pieces of land would be called the EK forever and ever.
And it can't be machine versus spirit when the machine is using spirit(s) anyway.

It would be over quickly since Korra would just snap the cannon off and then the mech is just a large paperweight.

So how did the Republic City "Republic" work? Like there's only one person for the entire Earth kingdom and the Earth kingdom is fucking huge. Who do they represent, the people in Ba Sing Se, that tiny village Jet was from Toph's town? Why is it only five people the Air Nomads get the same representation and there's only like a hand full of air benders and they're all related. Basically one family gets a say in world affairs, how is that fair? Were these people voted in? How did this happen because people live off the map and inna woods so you'd have to do a census first at least. At least they remembered there's two water tribes, but the northern one is a monarchy. Do monarchies still exist even though there's a republic now? Did Aang just force everyone to change their way of life to adhere to his? I need an outlet for my autism.

That's actually a good question. The roads in TLA were just naturally made paths it seemed and even then you have benders to make their own roads so the government isn't needed. Unless non benders have to pay a tax for benders to do services like make roads and create clean drinking water. Also how is that tax distributed? Do they only tax the people of Republic City? Then why live in Republic city and not just the simple country life with a few modern appliances.

>>93933931
They obviously have a passing idea because they tried to make it a point in season one. They just gave up and had people just raise there hand over sweeping legislation with no actual document to prove what it would entail.

>>93933942
Why did they feel the need to bring the earth benders back after 170 years of being fucked? Why force bending on people who don't want it? Also bending seemed to be hereditary because the people learned it from the animals like the sky bison, so why would some rando earth kingdom fuck just be able to bend. I guess his midiclorian count was high or something.

>>93933950
Why base the council to the four kingdoms? Why not base it like an actual city council or republic and have the people elect officials from that location. Also have representatives based on population size and location. Why does the Earth Kingdom get a say in what happens in Republic City
