Since everyone else stated the obvious of "that doesn't mean we can't like it" (For godsakes I ship Mohinder and Sylar in Heroes, for which I need to make the colorbar of "Sylar/Mohinder is so messed up you're probably better off not asking why I like it."), I will hit one of the other things I like about that pairing:
I truly believe if anyone can save Azula from herself, it's Ty Lee. I think Azula is an exceptionally damaged person, to the point of being a borderline sociopath. She still needs anchors even if she abuses them, by evidence of she was able to roll with any punch up until Mai and Ty Lee turned on her. Then and only then did she truly lose it.
Mai has her thing with Zuko, and her resentment for Azula started off pretty early in Season 3, so her betrayal wasn't all that shocking. Ty Lee on the other hand showed no signs of anything but complete loyalty to Azula until she ordered Mai killed. And then I don't think she was "betraying Azula" she was "Saving Mai".
And you know, FUCK "THE BEACH", IT CAN SUCK MY NONEXSISTANT BALLS. Azula practically breaks my gaydar, I can't see her having feelings for ANY man other than a crush on Zhao. And for what little screentime Ty Lee had, as much as she hit on guys... she comes across as a bisexual version of the lipstick lesbian. Or maybe Azula's just the exception.
