<p>Korra is the first Avatar to bend 6 elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Energy and Asami. </p>

<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. </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>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></div>
<p>It may be a setting based off of the 1920's setting, but you also have to consider that this is a completely different world then ours. As far as we know they could be accepting of it. Not to mention, Korra is the Avatar. First person to protest it is going to be tossed three blocks and land in the river. That is after she sets their crotch on fire for talking trash about her girlfriend. Which is an acceptable response in my opinion. </p>

Underaged minor girl in sexual context primarily with an older-to-adult partner, whether she is the seduced or seducer. It comes from Japanese "Lolicon", which takes its name from "Lolita". <p>The boy equivalent would be Shota/shotacon. "Straight" prefixing Loli or Shota clarifies that the pairing itself is hetero. </p> </div>isn't that... illegal?</div>Irl yes, but drawings don't count. Or animated shorts. </div> <p>I don't know about Japan, but in America, if you draw out a sex scene with a child character, it is still considered child porn, & therefore illegal. I'm sure that there are loopholes that people employ, though. </p> </div> <p>If that's true, then there are few sites I know of that are in trouble </p>

I think you mean seven elements: Fire, Air, Water, Earth, Energy, Metal, and Asami. </div> <p>Metalbending is a subset of earthbending, though </p>

I think I figured out why I'm having those feelings about Korra. I think Love Robin can help me out here, but anyone is welcome to chime in. <p>To tell y'all the truth, I love Korra. I know, its dumb liking a fictional character but whatever. She really grew on me like the characters in ATLA. This actually could be going on in another universe...I'm getting off track... Anyways, if you couldn't tell, I'm a guy. So when I look for a girl, I like to look for someone who possesses qualities that Korra has. For example, shes kind, compasionate, heart-warming, giving, good looking, muscular etc but shes also tough, a hard ass, and much more when she needs to be. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I can't stand the thought that the love of my life might be a lesbian. That's why its bothering me, along with alot of ambiguity due to nickolodeons restraints... </p> </i></div>
<p>i think i'm having similar feelings: although i'm also a guy, i saw a lot of my own traits in korra, and some of the struggles she went through closely mirrored some of my own, and seeing how she bounced back kind of helped me do so too a little bit. so when she was revealed to be something i'm not, it bugged me, as odd as that sounds. thanks neal for articulating that, that helped me a bit. </p><p>that said though, i still call HUGE bs on bryan's statement about viewing the last couple books with a hetero lens. hetero female "BFFs" often behave in ways that would, in males, be considered non-hetero behavior. (at least in today's society's standards). so seeing that kind of interaction between two females in no way construes a developing romantic relationship. they even said at the end of book 2 that they were going to set the romance on the shelf for a while, which is another reason fans weren't looking for any kind of relationship development. if they wanted to properly develop this "relationship" they should have made it more explicit. apparently, they didn't even get the idea until later, which imo, was too late to execute it properly. anyway, i understand there were restrictions on what they could show, but if they couldn't show it all the way, they shouldn't have done it at all. yes, i know, baby steps with this sort of thing, but those steps should have been taken sooner in the development. the last scene of the finale shouldn't change the tone of the show so much. </p>
