(Anonymous) 2018-12-05 08:11 am (UTC)(link)Yeah, the anon above me basically covered it. It's far too common and has always been common since the dawn of romance stories/subplots, which can't exactly be said for same-sex romances (for obvious reasons).
Just because a man and a woman are standing next to each other does not mean they have to be in a romantic relationship, and especially not when they have next to no chemistry & no real purpose to actually be together other than some weirdass idea some writers have that a man and a woman can't simply be friends. I've seen it constantly since I was a little kid and I don't think it's strange to be more annoyed by that when explicitly gay romances remain comparatively very new to mainstream media, regardless of how they're written.
I can't speak for Korrasami since I've never watched Korra, and I definitely have seen some lgbt romances that kind of just seem like they're only there because "well these are the only two gay characters in the show so ... they're banging now," but honestly? I'm still just happy that they're allowed to exist in the first place without being censored / desexualized / forced into vague subtext like they have been throughout so much of history.
