1) They are kids. It'd be natural for them to have feelings for... at least someone in their group, since it's only natural for people to develop attachments to those who endure trials alongside them.
1a) also, romance is a plot device. whether anyone likes it or not, it's probably going to happen in an action/fantasy story/show; that's just a very common staple of the whole hero's journey archetype.
2) I do think the shipwars are fucking stupid and I couldn't care less. I kind of speculated on Zutara and Kataang--and also Katoph and Sukkatara, Sokkla, Tyzula, Jetko, Maiko, etc. Because that's what you can do with fandoms and it's fun. BFD.
3) I don't really mind the way Kataang developed. It was hammed up, yeah, but it's a kid's show. A lot of things in ATLA are/were hammed up; if you're looking for 'well-played out romances' or 'serious romance,' you're barking up the wrong tree.
3a) I felt it was a little obvious Katara had some feelings for Aang? at least, that's how I saw it was played out, especially on Kyoshi Island. I could outline more instances but I'm pretty sure that'd be flogging a dead horse, and I think you guys see my point.
tl;dr, I just wanna sit back, have my cake and eat it too, and even when I'm sitting back in my dry and dusty world of academia as I slowly work my way into school debt, I'll look fondly on ATLA and just remember that in it and shows like it, there's only as much bullshit in its context as I'll go digging for.
