ALL POSTSThoughts on Korrasami
<p>Am I the only one who believes that Korrasami is the most rushed and underdeveloped relationship in all of Avatar? I'm not even kidding. Soooo many people in the Avatar fandom seem to ship Korrasami even though they was absolutely no build up (they could hardly be classified as friends in Book One and I'm not sure they ever even shared a scene together in Book Two). In the first episode of Book Three Bryke pretends that Korra and Asami have been best friends the entire time, and they won't let Mako get between their bond (Where does this come from? Where's the build up? When did they become friends?). And when Korra only writes to Asami during her time in the South Pole... what? Why does she not write to Mako or Bolin or Tenzin? I mean, I wouldn't hate this nearly as much if we were given some BUILD UP. A lot of people seem to ship Korrasami simply because they want an LGBT relationship on the show, but they refuse to acknowledge how little sense that ship makes. Am I crazy? What are your thoughts?

<p>Also remember that denying that makes you a troll. </p>

We need more Korrasami.

<p>I never really bought that it was the network that wouldn't allow them to be shown entering a relationship. The first series heavily featured topics like war and genocide. LOK itself featured a murder-suicide, death by asphyxiation, electrocution, blowing a women's head up, etc. The network will allow all of that to be shown, but they won't let two girls be shown in a relationship?

<p>Say hello to the time before the finally of The Legend of Korra where characters who were intended to be bi or gay had to be so heavily censored that if the studio even got one hint that the characters were queer they would mandate that they be given a heterosexual to prove just how straight they were and the people who suggested the idea would possibly be black listed because they wanted to be more open minded. </p><p>Just look at Lexington, this was a character that was intended to be gay but the higher ups kept trying to push him into the Totally not gay camp and failing that kept ordering him to not be shown with ANYONE. Or over at the DC Animated Universe openly gay characters in the comics like Maggie Sawyer had to her romantic partner on screen with her and the higher ups flat out refused to state who this person was or what her relationship with Maggie was and the list goes on. </p><p>Hell, for a long time if you had a character who was openly gay they would very likely be killed off as a form of punishment for the crime of being gay. </p><p>Before Korrasami we would never have gotten shows like She-Ra where characters can be very clearly gay or bi and it should be noted that Steven Universe didn't start having its characters being more openly queer until AFTER Korra and Asami became a couple. Hell, even with that several series are keeping things ambiguous like Adventure Time which kept Bubblegum and Marceline relationship ambiguous until the very LAST episode of the series. </p><p>So, yes, the studio was more comfortable with genocide, suicide, murder, torture, death in general and PTSD then it was able to people of the same gender having romantic feelings for one another. Humanity! We Don't Make Sense! </p>
