Talk:Asami Sato/@comment-4888161-20120428210012

There has been so much hatred towards Asami's character and she hasn't even done anything wrong. In fact, she's been helpful. But for whatever reason, many people think she is evil, or at least want her to be and refuse to believe otherwise.

Just because they are a non bender, it doesn't make them an Equalist. I don't see why every non bender is theorized to be in league with them. FYI, there are non benders who don't hate benders to the point of terrorism. I also don't understand why a character can't just simply be good without people thinking it's a conspiracy. I don't know why people can't see this, but I have 4 cannon reasons why it is extremely unlikely that Asami is evil, an Equalist, etc. They are:

1. Asami was listed as a pro bending fan. In addition, it was confirmed by Bryke anyways. Wouldn't that make her pro bending, and not an anti bending extremist? It's on the Nick Website under her bio as well, so it is confirmed in multiple spots.

2. The relationship's quick development made perfect sense. And she obviously has seen Mako while watching pro bending and became a fan of his. She even said she was at all of his matches, which would not be unlikely for a confirmed pro bending fan. At the very least, a pro bending fan would probably know who he is. For those who think the relationship happened too fast, that would be why it happened. It is also not uncommon for a fan to develop a crush on the person they are a fan of, especially when they are around the same age. After all, Asami was the one who pursued Mako once she knew who he was and Mako just went along with it.

3. She has no reason to hate benders, yet plenty to like them or at the very least be indifferent to them. Her father is a non bender, yet more rich and successful than most people including most benders. She has no reason to hate benders. Between that and the fact that she is a confirmed pro bending fan, her being an Equalists or doing this to plot against them is extremely unlikely.

'''4. This was completely unplanned. '''She hit him by accident. How can she possibly be planning anything when he came out of nowhere? It can't be premeditated if it is a surprise. She was simply riding along when Mako pops out from behind a bus and stands there. Then she hits him because she can't stop in time, and recognizes Mako because she is a confirmed fan of pro bending and follows his team and likely has a fan crush on him. But it was a random event, and random events aren't premeditated. (This one wasn't originally my point, so I won't take credit for it.)

- I honestly don't understand the lack of common sense that some people exhibit on these pages. I mean no offense to anyone, but the signs don't point any other way. Now it doesn't confirm Mako and Asami will end up together in the end, or that they won't end up together in the end. It just means she probably isn't the basis for a conspiracy like everyone thinks, and she certainly is not in league with the Equalists. But Asami is more than just probably a good character, and it is extremely likely based on the cannon evidence we have. Please don't let your personal agenda's get in the way of the cannon evidence that suggests otherwise, if that is why you want her to be evil/an Equalist/etc.
