Well Nony, emotions are a tricky thing. From personal experience, I can say jealousy doesn't breed fully into hate. An individual may not like seeing another with the person they'd want to be with, and may feel like they resent the other person, while they only actually resent the bond that has formed between the two, wanting that for themselves. However, they can still act perfectly civil, even becoming friends, with the person who has that one's attention at the moment. Especially if that person (being Korra) has generally accepted things as they are at the moment.

I can agree that hate without reason is silly, petty and rediculous; I personally haven't hated Asami, she just came off right away as a boring character. Prior to the most recent episode, we've seen her living in luxury, crashing into men on a moped, and clinging non-stop to her boyfriend. I immidiately thought: "So, how many episodes until this one gets captured?" when she appeared on screen. In addition, the "self defense training", albeit uncreative, is probably the only way she could be more than a monetary asset to the Krew.

Finally, this Shipping discrimination needs to end. It's just like politics; if you don't support Obama, you're a racist money-hoarder; if you don't side with the conservatives, you're a socialist fiend. Like that, if you don't support Asami, you're a Makorra (which is, unfortunately, mostly the case) and if you do support her you're working for Masami. Yet another reason this radicalist shipping needs to be curbbed. It's stripping away any chance of intelligent discussion between one who claims to be a shipper, no matter how moderate they be.
