I started that way because for some reason I thought people would remember me going off before. But I forget that this is the Internet and not everyone sees everything.

That's true, but since I saw no evidence for it, it came off as pandering, because I saw every interaction with them as platonic. My thinking was, they could have showed anything to help prove the ship, even if they snuck it in the background because I assumed the writers they actually had might have been smart enough to do it, but Bryke might not have told them or they had no one who knew what they were doing to help. But like I said, Bryke can't into subtlety. I assumed it would be easier to get away with because of the audience and where it premiered.

I haven't seen it in the media, but I see it with shipping.

Well, see, I think it's sad that people will just settle for things sometimes instead of demanding answers. In this case, if I wasn't a wuss with Bryke knowing who I am, I would be demanding why they didn't write it better and then pointing out what they could have done to make it more obvious since the whole showing thing with media.

It's because people are settling for that crap ending. Yes be happy your ship happened, but at least acknowledge that yes, Bryke could have done way better instead of just suddenly shoving them together because for those of us who aren't shipping them (and in a lot of cases, people who were shipping them) did not see it coming.

At this point, while I hate Korrasami, if they had included more development of it, I would accept it, I would still hate, but begrudgingly accept that yes, it's canon.

"Yes be happy your ship happened, but at least acknowledge that yes, Bryke could have done way better"

Someone upthread said exactly that, and you still kept shitting on them.

So now you're not just a hypocrite and a child, you're also a liar.

Of course it could have been better.

I think you were wrong to assume it would be easier to show a same sex relationship because of the audience and where it premiered. A lot of people get the wrong idea about how acceptable these things are these days because they tend to hang out in rather progressive spaces. I'm stuck dealing with too many people who think that there's already been too much gay propaganda over that last several years for me to take anything like this for granted.

And as for the attitudes that you see in shipping, you have to remember that shippers make up a minority of the audience of any show which is mostly made up of casual viewers, even though shippers are so vocal on the internet.

While true, I think in this case just showing Korra and Asami as better friends might have worked (like how in the end of the third season Asami was treating Korra, simple showing she was there and talking to her) since they did only interact like 3/4 times this season.

I know, they are so prevalent on Tumblr though.
