I didn't like Mako and Korra becoming a couple. The whole love thing in LOK was in my opinion, weighing it down. The show always had to stop and focus on the love situation instead of the action. It was tiring and i found myself skipping over those parts. In the Last Airbender, They had love sequences but it wasn't shoved in our face like it is here. I wanted Korra to become single. I didn't think she needed a romantic partner. It would of been better if she ended up with no one and focused more on her future plans. But noooo. We must please the LGBT community. Instead of making Korra a strong single women, The creators decided that she go Asami even though it didn't make any sense!

So, in your mind, the creators placing her with Asami was to "please the LGBT community?". And as more than one person on this wiki has pointed out, there were subtle signs of their relationship in the 3rd and 4th season

I was thinking more along the lines of if the choice is to "please the LGBT community" or "to please fans who didn't like the romance," it's not like the 1st group somehow deserves it less.

I agree with the main point, but I would like to add that I don't think any romantic ending would've been satisfactory. This show was bad with handling its romantic subplots.

Oh look, another "Korra x Asami is bad" thread! How original! How is Korra x Asami shoved down our faces, but Aang and Katara aren't? Korra x Asami detractors cry about not having any development therefore the relationship was tacked on and shouldn't have happened. Then we get "it being shoved down our faces"? Great! When we have LGBT characters, it's pandering. When we have straight couples all over the place, that's totally fine and not being shoved down our faces! But okay, let's apply the same logic to Aang; WTF!? He should have been single and focusing on the future! Also, he's like 13, what's he doing getting in a serious relationship!? Therefore, Bryke screwed up the franchise by giving Aang, Katara in the end. As an aside, wtf, why couldn't Katara be a strong single woman focused on the future?

Well, first of all, I think that those "love situations" were suitable for the story. In ALTA there were times of war, so they didn't have time for anything but the action. And also Aang was only 12 years old and it isn't strange that there were not really "romantic situations" in his life. ( Yes, he lived in medieval times and things were different back then but in Avatar World he was still considered a kid ). In the other hand, Korra is a teenager who lives in peacetime and it's normal and more realistic that she's not focused only on her duties, etc. And the fact that she has partner doesn't mean that she can't be strong female character any more. Man can be strong and independent while having partner but woman can't or what? Lin always was a strong woman and she was in relationship with Tenzin. Toph also was a strong woman and also she had partner and two children. Zuko's daughter is Fire Lord and has a child. I can continue.... And also Korra and Asami aren't even married. They both may become single once again at some point of their lives. I doubt that showrunners wanted "to please LGBT community". It was just part of the story. Their relationship developed and makes sense IMO.
