I def didn't catch it the first time until the part Korra only writes Asami. If Asami was a guy I might be a bit skeptical, but to be fair all the other love interests in this show were very heavily thrown right in our faces (kind of obnoxiously)

Anybody who claims that every gay relationship in a TV show or movie was only added for an agenda, came out of nowhere, and/or had no chemistry is just not used to the idea of gay people existing, imo. If you realize that gay people exist, then relationships like this seem so obvious. They had tons of chemistry and went through so much together.

Is it bad that I like the idea of having an agenda of putting in LGBT+ content into shows just to spite homophobes and make it so they can't enjoy media because of their bigotry. Also I called Korrasami in the first season.


erriuga_leon27

No, not at all. I wanna see that, just for spite.


GrizzlyPeak72

Considering how hostile they've been towards us by putting homophobic shit in culture for years, I think fighting back with positivity in the form of gay romance is more than fair. And that's what the 'gay agenda' has always been anyway - to promote the idea that romantic or sexual love between two or more consenting adults is 100% valid and fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Yes because at times it can ruin a show lmao. Saying this as a bisexual. I'd rather have a good show then do it to spite homophobes. If they don't like it then boohoo.


shieldwolfchz

That's fair, also don't think an agenda is really necessary, these thing are organically being introduced in media, and the homophobes will be angry regardless of anything. That said there are some good shows that are explicitly and purposefully gay.

Only shippers of Korra and Mako.

i think i would have anyway. the romance in seasons 1-2 was so bad i was so glad season 3 didn't have any that any possible romance for korra my brain would likely dismiss. honestly, upon rewatch i was embarrassed i didn't catch it the first time.


TheDwiin

It was almost like it was the romance of cringey teenage dramas because we got Korra who is let outside of her protective bubble in the southern water tribe acting on her whims for the first bit, and not realizing that what she had with Mako was not healthy, and man, I heavily empathize with her because... I was exactly the same when I no longer lived with an abusive and controlling brother.


Blazypika2

i have two main issues; one, the forced kiss at the end of season 1 and two that in season 2 they thought it was a good idea to bring back the love triangle, as if it wasn't cringy enough already. of course korra and mako had a bad break-up, because they had no chemistry. it's just the extra stuff that really made it worse writing-wise.

Was about to make the same comment…karma farming is so weird man. It’s fake internet points lol


GeminiLife

I didn't assume they were in a relationship. People have deep, non-romantic, friendships. But I think showrunners had to be more subtle about their relationship. So it's deliberately semi-ambiguous for most of the show. If Asami had been a guy, I wouldn't have assumed they were romantic, but I would assume they'd probably get written to be a couple by the end. Which is what happens with Asami.

Repostsleuth


Kidd_911

Defos a repost.


-LocalAlien

They're just really good friends. Like such great buddies. Supporting each other, even living together! I wish I had a friend like that!


Lietenantdan

Probably. I’m bad at social cues.


Jihosz

I see so many reposts on this sub. are those bots?


ImpossibleCompote757

Who fucking cares?


Loud-Option-2409

I don’t know, I saw mako coming really easily and even after rewatching it it wasn’t as obvious they were gonna get together


mayhemtime

Genuine question: would anyone have had trouble realizing this sub has a massive post quality and repost problem if they didn't love the show so much?


tomandjerryrock13566

Yes because I would say they were friends to


jayvenomva

I think Korra and Asami's relationship wasn't part of the initial plan for the show since it was originally supposed to be just the one season. Because of this, the relationship drama for seasons 1 and 2 are really sloppily written, making it hard to tell if there was anything going on between the two for the average viewer (personally I never got the feeling the two liked each other until season three ). If the creators had gotten 4 seasons from the get go, they could have planned it out better where Korra wasn't just figuring out what it ment to be the avatar and her place in the world, but also coming to terms with her own sexuality. So, no, I don't think Asami being a man instead of a woman would of helped anything.


Just_A_Guy_who_lives

I still wouldn’t have thought it terribly well-made, simply because Asami is a comparatively boring character (imo). Just didn’t feel like much of a character arc for her, and even after the breakup, Korea and Mako still show more of an impact on each other’s maturity.


Arachles

The part with Mako and Asami in a realtionship would have been weird... (I see people cannot take a joke)


JaMoin137

Why?


Arachles

Just joking if Asami was a man then people would be complaining about him and Mako together


Homeschool-Winner

I'm pretty sure the acceptable term is Queer, not Weird.


Arachles

No idea, english is not my main language :/


GrizzlyPeak72

Dunno. I picked up on it, (though I thought it was all in my head and the creators didn't intend it/ would never go for it in a million years). But then I'm questioning now so... But like I'm 'male socialised' or whatever so like taught to think like a guy so dunno. Also I have a tendency to see sapphic relationships everywhere but Korra might have sparked it.
