Mako isn't a someone, he's a fictional character. Wishing for his death hurts no one except Mako fans who get upset at any negative response thrown Mako's way.

Actually, it's the other way around. The fandom, at least the vast majority of it, hate Mako. Hate him so much they wish he was dead/castrated/drawn and quartered. It's...really amusing and sad at the same time.

This link here sums up my dislike for Asami, and how the love triangle really is on Asami's paranoid shoulders, and not Mako's:

Minor problem with your rant - after they got Korra back, from what's been shown, it seems like Mako basically became a little puppy and followed her around - to the point that, when he brings the kettle [presumably the one everyone at the table was using] he phrases his request as 'Korra needs more tea', not 'We need more tea'. Up to that point? Asami hadn't said anything and kept herself to, mostly, watching the two of them with a little more suspicion. Considering the circumstances that's an understandable enough reaction - and I'll give you that the tea request is a pretty silly thing to be the final straw. Thing is, in real life, stuff like that is the final straw as often as big stuff, particularly in times of stress.

Do I think she should have picked a better time, place, and way to bring it up? Yes, very much so. But Mako doesn't help the situation by hand-waving what she's upset about.

As far as her being paranoid goes, is it, honestly, paranoia to feel insecure after 1. Finding out your SO not only did something that, for a lot of people [potentially including Asami], constitutes as cheating, didn't tell you about it, has feelings for someone else, and has been acting 'over protective' of the girl he has feelings for since she got back? Really? 'Cause, personally, I'd be an emotional mess and more than half-convinced I was about to be dumped. So, while I don't think she handled the situation anywhere near as well as she should have, it's not really resting solely on her shoulders.

tl;dr: She certainly didn't help matters, but she's not the only one at fault here - both her *and* Mako are.

You are so worked up over the Mako hate it's sad.

(Anonymous) 2012-06-19 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not worked up actually, amused and embarrassed, but not worked up. Being worked up is wishing this...thing, that only exists with lines and color, and voice acting, is real, and that you must hate hate hate him.

I honestly, at this point, think the reason why so many people completely love Asami, and hate Mako, with insanely intense emotions, is because...they're projecting. Asami is so flat that she -is- the viewer's avatar. They don't see Mako hurting Asami, they see Mako hurting -them-, and they're trying to make him pay for it. But...he's not real. Neither of them are, and they aren't really Asami.

It's kind of makes you sick, in a way, how dark the human mind can become!
