ALL POSTSKorra's Sexual orientation
<p>Hey guys, I just binge watched books 3 and 4 and I can't seam to find peace at all in terms of Korra's sexual preference. Let me explain. In books 1 and 2, she was straight, In book 3, you couldn't really tell she was a lesbian, but in book four, it become pretty evident. Is it possible to being lesbian since it didn't work out with Mako? How could she be straight then turn lesbian, not that I'm against it, good for her! I just need some closure.
</p><p>Also, in the series, they never show the communites, parents, and character's responses to the Korrasami relationship...
</p><p>Also, this is in the 1920's setting, I don't think people accepted this back in the day in the real world, just thought I'd put it out there.

<p>I don't know about that person, but I can generally tell the difference between a dwarf & a small child.

<p>I think you mean seven elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Energy, Metal, and Asami. </p>

<p>This is a scarily long post discussing the romantic possibilities of the current Avatar. As an Air Nomad Avatar, I feel it safe to say that it really doesn't seem to be any of our business at all. Especially since it's really getting off topic here. Effectively: there was a previous relationship for both Korra and Asami (with the same fellow), neither worked out, they (both couples) split, the producers said they weren't going to mess with Team Avatar's love lives anymore (everything else is fair game), and suddenly a trip to the spirit world is giving a lot of people something big to argue about. Myself, I'm fairly sure that Korra's had too much trouble either way to be thinking about a relationship; if her character has developed as much as everyone says it has, why should we feel the need to identify her by her romantic interests? <i>She </i>probably wouldn't like being judged in this manner, anyway.
</p><p>Also, I'm fairly certain that Metalbending is a subsect of Earthbending, just as Lightning Generation is a subsect of Firebending even though they're nothing alike in our world.
