BECAUSE the character relationships on the show were grossly underdeveloped and they all leaved me wanting more. There are so many different ways to develop relationships that are unique and mutifaceted. None of the relationships in Korra were, with Pema and Tenzin they were just a married couple, Pema didn't get much scrreen time. I don't even think I need to say anything about Makorra, it's pretty self explanitory.

Even the so called friendships in the show weren't developed. Korra and Asami have interaction once, we never see them together again.And even on a romantic standpoint of Korra/Asami, I ship them because I dislike the relationships portrayed with any of the male characters for Korra. I still find their interactions pretty dull.

I didn't like any of the canon couples a lot in the original series either. I swear, atla/korra is the posterchild for generic straight couples.

I should clarify, a lack of evidence is in no way evidence. But there are the few moments in canon where they do interact, and then there is subtext you have to analyze. I have personally analyzed those scenes, and I thought that a romantic relationship between them would be interesting and multi-layered. Yes, sometimes I ship pairings for the fun of it, like my fondness for the crackship of Iroh II/Tahno.

But here it's because their relationship was the most interesting out of all of the other ones featured on the show. Now, I could point out the moments in subtext and canon that got me to ship them romantically, but you'd probably all just disagree and think it was absolutely nothing. The thing is, that is entirely okay.

That's the problem with society, we're so wrapped up in trying to not hurt children that it's really making shows miss out on great relationships that could have developed. Gay relationships on TV are controversial whenever, unless it's somewhat of a queer centered show, a.e. Queer as Folk, the L Word.

I firmly believe that right now, they would never have a gay relationship be canon. But that doesn't mean that discredits all of the slash or femslash pairings. A pairing doesn't have to be canon to be legitimate.
