But the discussion post for the newest episodes in the ATLA fans comm had tons of people going "I don't like Maiko, I don't care for Maiko, I dislike Maiko" etc etc and many people talking about Zutara eventually happening or whatever.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't know, because I recently left A_F over the general "if you like Zutara, you're watching the show with your ass" sentiment that pervades that community.

I've seen plenty of people in general comms talk about Zutara happening, but with the implication that they would lose all respect for Bryke if it did.

There's also a big difference between "I don't like this pairing" and "this pairing is ridiculous, how can anybody with their right mind ship it?"

[jlarinda.livejournal.com]

No, these people were talking about it like it was going to happen. It wasn't bashing at all. Zuko/Mai did get bashed a ton.

Then again I'm saying this was one post, I haven't been in fandom for too long.

I still doubt anything gets bashed more than Mai/Zuko. 'Cause sure, Zutara gets bashed, but it also has a huge fanbase. So for everybody who bashes it, there's someone who'll scream about it becoming canon.

I don't see people jumping up to defend Maiko too much.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

It only has a huge fanbase in its pairing-specific communities and forums, because a lot of Zutara fans stay out of or lurk in the general discussions where it gets bashed a lot (and by bashed, I mean "it makes no sense, htf can any intelligent person like it?").

In general communities, you will most certainly not be the only fan expressing dislike of it. Even extreme dislike. Which is why the fact that it's a secret for the OP puzzles me. Unless most of their friends like it or something, in which case if your friends are going to jump on you for something as dumb as pairing preferences? You need new friends.

I also haven't seen Maiko outright bashed as much analyzed as a relationship that didn't work very well. Which it didn't.

Ahahahahahahaha.
