“I will seriously think less of the writers if Asami turns out to be evil. The whole “sexy, make-up wearing romantic rival is secretly a villain who’s using the hero’s love interest to get closer to/spite the hero” thing is just so trite and unimaginative and to be honest, a little sexist, and the LoK writers are so much better than that.”
This is what I am talking about. If Asami DOES turn out to be a villain, it would be setting up a horrible cliche that the beautiful woman is really a manipulating force that is on the bad side.
We have seen it in countless movies and shows and it would reinforce the stereotype that any women who are self-confident, sweet, and beautiful always have ulterior motives; that they will use others to get what they want. This is not a healthy perception of women in general, but it’s really not healthy for women who are trying to find a scapegoat when they are feeling insecure about themselves.
Asami is a confident, young upcoming businesswoman who should be a role model for girls. She doesn’t wait for the cute guy to ask her out, SHE ASKS HIM. She helps out said guy in a tight situation, and she’s caring and supportive, ALL while having a life of her own. If the writers just sort of…let her be an equalist, they will be tearing down all the good things they brought to the girls in the show; and the boys who watch the show will start to think that women are untrustworthy and manipulative. That unless the woman is a “bro” like Korra, she will always be set against the male persona.
So, in all honesty, no I don’t think Asami is an Equalist. But if she is, I will really doubt the overall morality of the show and the “ground-breaking” writing that its been praised on.

“…You want to know something funny?” She doesn’t wait for his answer, which would explain that odd, quiet closeness in her voice. “I’ve never actually seen one of these before.”
Bolin is not looking at Korra when she says this. He has busied himself sorting through the councilman’s gift basket, sizing up each offering as he goes; there are long bolts of silk brocade, rosewood jewelry boxes, bags of candied fruit and ginger, and of course there are the flowers. Armfuls of them. He can identify the lotuses, at least, the chrysanthemums, and this one might be a fire orchid; it has petals that curl like tongues of flame and had probably cost more than every prize fight he has ever won put together.
But when he turns to see, Korra is spinning a rose between her fingers. His rose.
He blinks.
“Wow. Really?”
“Yeah.”

I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:
Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?
We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.
omg this is too perfect
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE?
It will never, never stop being funny. Especially when they both completely lose it.
How many people by now have no idea that eating more fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and drinking plenty of (unpolluted) water is better for you than processed food?
I know it. Everyone knows it.
What these arrogant shits who keep aiming to “teach low income people” is not something we…
