Curiosity (Ship Hate Below, Be warned)

What is it about Makorra that attracts it's fans? Is it the instant romance? The literal love at first sight? Is it the shamltzy "I think we're ment to be together" leap or that Mako goes from aloof to head over heals in one episode? Cause the best of this pairing, As forced and as cliche as it was it was...to the point I shipped Borra because Mako just... All the cheating and lying and then shucking off the blame onto his brother. Congrats on Book 1 btw, I hear a lot of you say now a days "We were canon Book 1, it was meant to only be 1 book therefore win." But here's the thing yeah, LoK was meant to be 1 book at first but it didn't stop. And writers are allowed to evolve their characters. And thank god they did, cause Korra post Book 4 is a much more mature, well-rounded, interesting and sympathetic character than her post-book 1. And it has nothing to do with her relationship with either Asami or Mako.

Through Book 3 and 4 she grew up, she understood herself. She was no longer a ball of hormones and rage. Mako grew on me too, from being an overly protective two timer in book 1, and in book two being even more deplorable, to actually being kinda fun in a dorky work-married kind of rod-up-his-butt idiot(in the best way). I'm really surprised Makorra was as popular as it was all through the series through Book 4, especially after Book 2. Their relationship was too tumultuous to last and we saw that. At the expense of Asami again, poor girl. Going back to that relationship, that love affair built on the foundation of lies, cheating, bickering, bad temperament, but also admittedly a fiery passionate lust/love would be UNHEALTHY. That is the kind of relationship that ends on Jerry Spinger or Dr. Phil. If Makorra had happened I would honestly felt like it would be such a big backwards step for her. We see in Reunion how they can just cause each other to powderkeg. And this is a result of Mako not having enough faith in Korra. Now Asami snapped too, because she felt wronged, but unlike Mako didn't carry on about it all episode long. Korra taking Mako back would be such a bad message for kids. "There's one chance at love kids, once you find the one you better hold onto them no matter what. Doesn't matter if s/he doesn't believe in you, doesn't trust you, lies to you, or cheats on you, you hold onto him/her and you always take them back." Would Korra be happy? Would Mako? 

Just curious...

Vs. (ship warry stuff Be warned)

The fact our fandom is so divided between to big ships is really funny. And the saddest part is a squabbling, boring, temperamental, lying cheating man is treated as a more legitimate choice then a caring, sweet, loving woman. The episode reunion sealed it for me that Makorra went from meh to Notp. And from being meh on Mako Besides the "Hellos" Mako and Korra did nothing but fight the whole episode. And what about? About Mako doubting Korra like he's always done. He has no faith in her or in Asami. But the girls are implicitly in tune with each other. YES they had a fight too, whoop-de-do, but they didn't badger each other the whole damn episode either. Normal couples, normal friends argue like Korra and Asami do, and even Asami apologized for her outburst. Mako never apologizes "That's the way it is" no Mako grow the fuck up. He and Korra are TOXIC together. I'm surprised their even friends...

Makorra is terrible not just because the couple is terrible, but because them getting together is further enforcing the "jerks get the girl" trope and that a unhealthy heterosexual relationship is more legitimate than a healthy homo/bi-sexual relationship. Korra ending up alone is preferable to Korra with Mako but not by much, again. Don't go into a loving same sex relationship, same sex relations don't exist their are only two states, het or nil. And that's bullshit....
