The fact he was pining for Korra, went crazy when she was kidnapped (as opposed to everyone else who was eerily fucking calm when they had their little reunion), and just. No. He wanted to be with Korra, but he didn't break up with Asami. That's a bad thing to do, and the fact you're defending him makes you a disgusting person.

lol no, the heart wants what the heart wants, and mako didn't want asami. he could have went about it a different way, but i have zero fucks to give that he "cheated" on a fictional show, and that doesn't make a person disgusting. save those types of words for people with legitimately horrible opinions, plz.

Except that this show is aimed at kids and they pick up on what is hit with consequences and what's not.

but i have zero fucks to give that he "cheated" on a fictional show,

I've said this before when people say things dismissive like that: if the key word here is fictional, why the hell are you on a fandom community or otherwise in fandom at all? People are here having these discussions because they feel strongly enough about things to discuss them seriously (or not so seriously, as the case may be), regardless of how "fictional" they are.

Fuck, how do you relate to fictional media at all if that's how you draw the line about what fucks to give? The heart of even the most fantastic stories boils down to how we relate to the characters and the emotional resonance we get from characters relating to each other, even if the other characters are giant amoebas from another galaxy and otherwise not like humans at all.

If you don't care about cheating in real life because 'all's fair...' or whatever, fine, so long as you're never dating me or anyone I care about. But "lol fictional show" is a pointless demarcation. And if you do care about it in real life, then okay, I can also get not getting super worked up over it in a fictional story, but to not give any fucks? Complete disconnect to me.

(And personally I find cheating lackadaisical apathy towards it to be a "legitimately horrible opinion" so, you know. Doesn't mean there aren't worse opinions to hold, but X>Y =/= X>everything.)

YEEEEES! If you want to play in fantasy land you don't suddenly get to yell "It's just fiction," when someone disagrees with you or you start losing.

Also I would like to steal your equation for future use.

I hate hate hate "it's just fiction" when used by anyone (well-timed reminders to prevent serious rage aside, and even then that's a more easily determined moment in RL than online). Doubly so if it's said by someone in a fandom space, because then it goes from being just dumb to dumb and hypocritical.

Steal away. :)

(Though now that I'm thinking about it more, it might make more sense as something like:
X>Y =/= Y<everything, or X<Y =/= X<everything. )

ia with you, but I'm gonna go ahead and say you're being a little over the line by calling anon a "disgusting person".
