      Tbh, with the reveal of Asami and Korra's relationship, it felt like just another retrospective "oh yeah, they were gay" statement just to make them seem more woke, so I had a very negative opinion of it for a long time. I was very tired of token gay characters, characters whose entire personality was just 🌈IMGAYLOOK🌈, and other half-assed representation to make them look woke.

    To the people saying that the korrasami reveal feels forced or out of the blue, I'd like to remind you that the reason there was not as much build up as some of us would have liked was because of the push back to represent queer characters at the time, especially in children's media. Korrasami was really kind of a starting point to push for more solid representation and to hold it to the standards of today is unfair. We were lucky to even get the hints we got and then the flat out confirmation so soon after the show aired.

      This! And to add some details, in the fourth season, Korra was recovering mentally and physically from s3 finale+other events and Asami was building up her company, and not to mention the whole thing with Kuvira. Do ppl think this is the time where both of em would have been like ”well I’m gonna use my pick up lines and get that girl😏😉”. And after the final battle is over, and they both have grown during the events, they decide to get on a journey together.
      In ATLA there weren’t that much of romance either between Katara and Aang, just little hints and throw away lines, but ppl still saw their relationship coming from a mile away.

      People don't realize that we are living in a VERY new renaissance of queer media. Only a decade ago (less than half a decade before TLOK), Ugly Betty was criticized for including a kiss between two male teenagers -- and that show might as well have had a "THIS IS A GAY SHOW" sticker on it. Before that, and even after (depending on the program), LGBTQ+ characters had to be codified or would not be allowed at all.
      Of course TLOK couldn't give a full, fleshed-out romance plot.

Personally I’m not gay or bisexual, I’m as straight as a board, but I’m very glad that LGBTQ is becoming more accepted and common now in animation.

Everything about straight relationships is gossiped about, fantasized and even celebrated with more than one party thrown in the honor of the bride, the groom and both from bachelor/Bachelorette parties to baby showers, bridal showers, wedding showers, hell, there's even divorce parties to help people get over bad break ups.
    But rlto say there's nothing to celebrate in gay relationships is just absurd when they are the exact same things that people look for in relationships, just with the obvious being with someone of the same gender, and to say that you can't even talk about is a huge sign of an asshole society.

    I’m not gonna lie, when I was young I thought same sex relationships were unnatural and shouldn’t be encouraged, but as I realized that as long as the couple is happy with who they end up with and aren’t hurting anyone, then it shouldn’t really matter. And watching the shows and reading the comics(along with watching other shows and movies with same sex relationships like Gravity Falls The Loud House and The Owl House)was a big part in helping me realize how toxic that mindset really is. Because of that, even though I’m not gay, I’m not against other people for being gay and they should be allowed to date who they want if it makes them happy. And now I heavily encourage people to date and marry who the love regardless of gender.

      I used to think that, but have since changed my mind.
      I think you can look at their relationship as one where two friends slowly develop feelings for one another. The kiss was basically the beginning of their relationship and the realization that they loved each other romantically as well as platonically. It's also pretty typical of people who are demiromantic to not show signs of romantic attraction until later. Their relationship doesn't have a typical trajectory, but it doesn't necessarily come out of no where.

      As he said in the video, Nikelodeon restricted them so much so that the moment at the end felt like it came out of nowhere, if they would have gotten their way I'm sure there would have been more buildup to it. And he did mention that Korra is bisexual

    Tbh, with the reveal of Asami and Korra's relationship, it felt like just another retrospective "oh yeah, they were gay" statement just to make them seem more woke, so I had a very negative opinion of it for a long time. I was very tired of token gay characters, characters whose entire personality was just 🌈IMGAYLOOK🌈, and other half-assed representation to make them look woke. Of course, now they have a more diverse group of gay characters now that they've become more independent and it doesn't seem like such a cop out to me. I still wish there could have been more moments, even if they were subtle, earlier on in the series of either Asami or Korra being interested in the same sex, but I can understand series being stifled by producers.

      To me Korra and Asami were definetely not just gay characters. Just like other characters, they have multiple sides, and especially Korra goes through a lot of character growth, which was so beautiful to see. And they both have their own personalities which I love.

    • @newsoupvialt
      @newsoupvialt 2 роки тому +3

      I don't really see why it would need to be hinted earlier on - Korra had two other love interests at the time, right, and it's not like straight characters are constantly showing that they're straight either, unless they are specifically written to show interest in other people all the time (Sokka). Like, think about Zuko, I think technically his interest in women isn't revealed until Book 2 Episode 15 of ATLA? Before that he isn't really concerned with romance
      The idea that you'd be able to "tell" that someone is bi or gay before they ever meet a character of the same gender that they get a chance to develop a closer bond with seems strange to me, which female character could she have shown interest in early on in the series? I think it'd have been way *worse* if they had written in another character for the sole purpose of "showing Korra is bi", or rushed her relationship with Asami, which imo felt really natural, only developing later

    • @biggestsigh
      @biggestsigh 2 роки тому +2

      @@newsoupvialt I mostly say that because it's nice when a series hints at things slower on. It's kinda like proof of "We planned something like this from the get go" sort of thing. It makes it seem more genuine than just having the vaguest of hints in only the last season before just stating outright that they're gay. It doesn't matter now, since in retrospect we can see their intentions were genuine, but having hints to a character's sexuality earlier on would have made it seem less out of the blue.
      Granted, I'm not a writer so idk how I would even want to see such hinting executed, and I didn't have much interest in Korra by the time the last season came around. I was only really watching it because I don't like not knowing how a series will end.

    Another reason being gay was probably very easy for Air Nomads was the gender-segregation in the air temples: north and south for men, east and west for women. Also, they didn't tie nuclear families to reproduction and probably didn't even have the notion of marriage, so nobody could argue "how will you have kids".

  • @grahamdamberger7130

    Korra and Asami are a lot like Velma and Marcie from Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated. in Season 1 of MI the creators tried having Velma and Shaggy in a relationship, but they didn't work out like Fred and Daphne do. Throughout season 1, Velma was practically questioning her sexuality during her on again, off again relationship with Shaggy. In season 2, while Mystery Inc was on a temporary split, Velma spends time with Marcie, who was one of the villains in season 1, but the two had a mutual understanding. Yet Mystery Incorporated was another show where the creators were not permitted by the network to portray same-sex couples at that time.

I think that your list turned me away from the Kiyoshi novels though, as they fall into the trope of having a bisexual female lead in whose story the male love interest is literally gotten rid of. These stories often seem to be a no-brainer when it comes to bisexual female leads. At best it’s a messy breakup at worst the Male love interest dies. 😔😔😔 I think we can all agree that there should be more such characters. The number should go into the double digits. Right? 🏳️‍🌈
