It's in the ASN interview that one of the maintainers of the site did with the creators. It's in Part 1 of a 3 part interview. The whole interview was kind of cool actually. But if you are wondering where people get that line from it's there:


RM: Okay...shipping.

ALL: (laughter)

RM: I have never seen shipping take on a life of its own as I have with the fans of Avatar. What do you think of all this?

BK: I think it's important to note one thing I have heard from the internet is that some fans have the idea we've put shipping into the show because they've asked for it...requested it. This is totally not the case. Mike and I like to do melodrama stuff and we wanted that in there. Not that it's all cheesy, but we wanted that from the get-go. Five years ago when we were developing this.

MDD: Yeah, Aang-Katara, that romance. Some stuff developed along the way, and we're glad some fans are more receptive to that element of the show, but it was in the DNA of the thing from the start.

Ah, ok. Because after some of the stuff DBF.net has pulled in their podcasts, I take memes like that skeptically until I see some objective source.

Of course, they never specified that the Aang-Katara romance was requited; Aang very obviously loves her, but Katara's feelings have been more than ambiguous. So while it may indeed be in the "DNA of the thing," it could very well be the recessive trait, not the dominant one.

Um.

That's a very special level of delusion. A+

The finale can't come fast enough.

How is it delusional? Katara has never indicated she reciprocates. In fact, she indicated the opposite in DOBS with her reaction to the kiss; it was deliberately ambiguous, so sayeth the show staff themselves in the DVD commentary (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K26eGTidTo). And in the trailer, she backs away with a pretty clear "DO NOT WANT" expression.

How that translates into "omgz ilu 2," I'll never know.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's not what happened. And also, that wasn't even their first kiss. Katara was the one who suggested it before, if you recall. As for the trailer. Out of context scenes=evidence, okay? And um, kisses are hardly the only proof for the pairing.

I haven't seen canon denial this strong amongst shippers since the sixth HP book.

P.S.- I ship Zutara.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

I still fail to see how saying "canon hasn't made up its mind yet" = delusional. If I were delusional, I'd be saying "Zutara IS canon LALALALALA I DUN HEAR YOU"

Right now? Neither ship is canon. I personally don't care if Zutara ends up canon or not. But I'm also not about to say that Kataang is totally endgame and anyone who believes otherwise is deluding themselves because since the show hasn't ended yet, I don't know that. And neither do you.

[amiraelizabeth.livejournal.com]

True...

But I think the mindset a lot of people have is that it was "Aang-Katara romance" not "Aang's romantic feelings" and until proven otherwise people are going to take what the creator's said as being strong indications (especially with episodes like the Headband and such) as to the direction of the show.

I think that is why people are a bit stubborn. Just an insight...LOL :D

and that was me who posted the above snippet from ASN...stupid LJ not taking my login.

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

I figured that much. All I'm saying is that canon has yet to make up its mind, so I get pretty annoyed that one set of fans is labeled "delusional" when nobody knows anything for definite. Speculation is not delusional as long as you acknowledge it's still speculation.
