ALL POSTSThe next avatar after Korra.
<p>What do you think the next Avatar will be like?
</p><p>I happen to know for a fact what that Avatar will be like, based solely on an unsourced and unverified tumblr post, which is nonetheless a completely valid source to reference for canon materials, that the next avatar is called Avatar Boogaloo<i> </i>(a self-chosen name as given names are too mainstream and Boogaloo is too cool for that)<i>. </i>It's all written out here in black and white. It's quite a compelling description that Bryke have provided.
</p><p>I feel that Avatar Boogaloo deserves a page, as Brian and Mike have indisputably declared the canonicity of this character. ;-)

I'm inclined to agree (although, admittedly, the fact that the little guy is adorbs plays into my opinion). <p>Also: I suggest that no one bother with the link in the original post. It's nothing but petulant self-absorbed wankery from some barely-coherent whiny antifan who clearly just wants attention (and all the <i>more</i> clearly does <i>not</i> merit it). Spare yourself the headache and potential loss of brain cells. </p> </div> <p>Or it was just a joke. Things like that exist, if you didn't know. </p>

I just saved these pages for my records. No harm in enjoying them.

<p>The joke being <i>on</i> that blogger, on the other hand, might actually be funny. Not <i>quite</i> as much so as, say, a PeTA member falling into a vat of congealed bacon grease (and their subsequent reaction); but, similar principle. </p>

<p>In my reply that had been lost somehow, I said that I didn't see where the antifan thing came from, but the blog is definitely a cry for attention.
</p><p>Because it's not just that 1 page, there are "I'm so amazing, follow me!" comments permeating the entire blog. There's also a lot of stuff like making a clickbait title about some current event just to segue into what games he wants, or a post that basically just says "stop using the word racism," & another that quite literally just says "bored" several times.

<p>I really don't want to look at that skull-hurtingly asinine blog again...but I could have sworn they claimed that <i>The Legend of Korra</i> (if not the entire franchise) was "just bad" or something (with no explanation of <i>what</i> they didn't like about it, no less) several times over. Hence, "antifan." </p><p>But even if it <i>weren't</i> for that: between what you've listed, and the entire specific post in question apparently depending on the hope that the phrase "too mainstream" would become funnier via constant repetition? <i>That's</i> why I'd be far more likely to be amused at a joke at the blogger's <i>expense</i> than any that they could <i>make</i>. </p> <div class="quote"><i>Aggression25 wrote:

- Yes, it means "adorable." That Korra's reincarnation OC is absolutely precious and I want to ruffle his hair.
- That Tumblr post <i>wasn't</i> canon; in fact, calling it fanfic (which usually implies something that at very least comes from a place of <i>appreciation</i>) would probably be more credit than it merits. It was an attempt at a joke—and, at least in <i>my</i> opinion, an unfunny and inane one at that—from someone who actually seems to <i>dislike</i> the Avatar franchise. (In fact, "unfunny and inane joke" is a fairly accurate description of the entire blog.)

<p>Korra was a hot-headed, strong and confident lesbian. Let the next Avatar be a soft-spoken, introverted and shy gay guy.

Bisexual. Regarding Korra.
(Edited by Neo Bahamut)
<p>Ehh, I personally hold with the fanon that all incarnations of the Avatar are bi (even if an additional tendency to fall hard and single-target sometimes makes that rather academic). But "shy earthbender boy whose endgame love interest is another guy" meets my approval nonetheless.

I don't see why they should need to all have the same orientation any more than they would need to have the same gender or personality.

<p>That kid is so adorable! Sure, next Avatar, why not? (He looks a little young to be thinking about romance, though.) ^_^
</p><p>I think the biggest challenge with a shy, earthbending guy is trying to make him stand out from Bolin. I like the idea of him being a bit of an intellectual. Maybe he's into computers? (Assuming Korra lives to a good healthy age, this kid should be born in the rough Avatar world equivalent of the 1980s, right?)
