I'm beginning to feel this way about a lot of characters. Korra's feelings for Mako seem kind of contrived/fabricated, while her chemistry with Asami seems so much more natural. I think it's just bad writing and writers trying to "tell not show" that Character X likes Character Y. It ends up coming off like the characters are just latching onto someone random of the opposite sex rather than feeling like they're actually legitimately attracted to that person.

Similarly, I have a hard time buying Regina and Emma from OUAT as heterosexual. It always seems like they're putting on a show of having tension with random guy X, although (again) that's probably just bad writing.

I know this makes me sound like I'm a hardcore Korrasami or Swan Queen shipper, but I actually only very casually ship either. It's just that I think those ships work better than the ships the writers actually think they're writing. Or put another way, if the writers ended up wanting to make either of those ships a thing, the foundation they've already built would be more conducive to a convincing relationship than most of the canon ships they've tried building up.

I thought the same thing when I read this secret. I really don't understand why everyone's getting their kncikers in a bunch and jumping to the conclusion of homphobia, when we're dealing with a character who is so unconvincincly attracted to characters of the opposite sex. She just doesn't seem to be genuine about it at all to me.

Because Scecretmaker didn't tell why she thinks that.

Sooo... then people just assume the worst and fill in Secretmaker's reasons with "Korra's too tough/butch to be straight!!!" stereotypes?
