#antikorrasami

[avatar-legends-confessionblog]

Alexandria Monik, the lovely woman who made mako comics, said this about those demons.

I need Korrasami fans to take it down SEVERAL notches because I should not be getting harassed, called "anti queer" and that I "hate brown queer women" because they wanted more Korrasami. It's insane.

Update, I received a dissertation in my Instagram DMs about how me defending myself is attacking queer people and korrasami fans. Blocked them there but they're welcome to get blocked here too.

Proof they harassed her relentlessly, then turned around and played innocent like they did nothing wrong. Korrasami shippers love that routine, vicious when it suits them, spotless saints when they get called out. Those fans love playing the victim the second they don’t get their way. They’re loud, entitled, evil, and allergic to accountability.

I honesty blame the fandom for my complete lack of excitement about a new Avatar show. While I love LOK, it doubled down on ATLA’s weakest element — romance — while losing a lot of the slow, earned found family of the previous show that comes from investing in filler content and developing all characters, not just the star. That I blame on creators and the network. But most of the franchise since then has only responded to the fandom’s single-minded focus on one poorly-developed ship. At least ATLA content still features the Gaang. You’d think the whole point of Legend of Korra was a relationship that wasn’t even part of the animated series. But it’s now the Korrasami is Canon show because fans pay to make it that way, and whatever garbage we get in 2025 is because of that. There are 10,000 years of Avatars to explore, and so many cultures and locations we could learn about in that world, but instead of seeing the Air Nomads at their height or the origin of sandbending we’re gonna get Korrasami kids in the 80s and I already hate it.

Number 6 for the salty ask game.

Hi, Bouncy!! 👋🏽🤗 Thanks for the ask! 💖

6. Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

Mmmmmm... I hate very few things, and I don't know if mild dislike counts, but I used to be pretty "... meh 😒" when it came to Makorra in TLOK, but I was like that about the whole show, not the characters or the dynamic between them 🤷🏽‍♀️

I mean, I know I have said TLOK had some trouble giving characters depth, but in the very early stages of Book 1, Makorra seemed kind of promising because I have always liked ships like that. Belligerent sexual tension, banter, different upbringings, drama, I'm even one of the few people that don't mind love triangles; but then it became a love square (a rhombus? 🤔) and Book 2 happened, and they make it seem like Korra was a selfish brat, and Mako was a womanizer, and Asami was a plot device who was cheated/dumped again — (is it cheating if your boyfriend's ex-girlfriend kisses him in front of you because she lost the memory of their breakup, but he doesn't tell her about that break up either?) — and... ugh! 😫

I felt so sorry for Mako, he's not a bad guy. And they put him to live under his desk to top? Geez, give him a break!

All relationships and the treatment of the characters in TLOK put me so off that I couldn't get invested in any of them. Even now I like the idea of Korrasami, not the canon build-up for the ship. But then... one day I was wandering through Tumblr and I came across anti-Korrasami meta written by bisexual fans, one thing led to the other and I stumbled across Makorra meta. They pointed out all the things that made me intrigued about the ship before everything went downhill, and they explained how their relationship, while strictly platonic, had a very nice development towards the end of the show. I didn't always see it that way, and the more I read, there were more little things that gave away the bond between Korra and Mako, and I liked it, and that last Mako line in the finale "I'll always be here for you" and Korra's happy teary eyes always gets me. Besides, I was annoyed that everybody refused to acknowledge Korra and Asami as bisexual.

After all of that I am... I don't think you will see me writing anything for them, TLOK left such a bad taste in my mouth that I don't think I can engage in anything other than the aesthetic, but maybe I'll come around to make Makorra, Korrasami, and Makorrasami art one day ☺️

Salty asks!

Why does it seem that most korrasami shippers think that people who didnt like the ending are all rabid makorra fans? Is it not valid to not like how they ended up because of LoK's crappy romances just because it's a bi relationship which somehow makes it immune to all critisisms?

The only well-written and complex yuri in the entire franchise is Rangshi, any variation of Azula/Ty Lee/Mai, Katoph, and Azutara. Everything else is underdeveloped as fuck or entirely fanon. And that includes Korrasami. That ship is 100% just because Korra and Asami look good together with zero complexity, which is why 90% of their art is just goonery. Y’all come for a chunk of the fandom shipping Zutara for “aesthetic reasons” but at least they have chemistry and a relationship arc. Korrasami is the definition of a canon ship existing for aesthetic reasons.

Korrasami is boring slop and hetero coded. There I said it

Funny how when bryke made korrasami canon, everyone was cheering and telling homophobes to deal with it. But now, 12 years later, some of those same fans are whining that bryke and the studio are doing them wrong, calling them homophobic, and saying praising two white *liberal* guys is bad. Basically, they’re complaining about the same people they used to celebrate; they’re being totally hypocritical. 🤣

I can’t believe Korrasamis came up with the homophobic Katara headcanon, that’s so disgusting.

Let’s stop pretending korrasami shippers don’t make homophobic mako headcanons just because they hate his character. He’s literally accepting of their relationship, so it’s not that far fetched to believe they’re making homophobic katara headcanons too. This fantasy that korrasami shippers are some kind of godly, innocent angels needs to end. We’ve had ENOUGH of the lies from that fanbase.
