The whole Korrasami debate seems to be a hot topic amid the LoK fandom right now so I thought I'd give my input on it.
For starts, my major reason for liking Korrasami is that it is such a huge step in western animation. We finally have some LGTB representation in 'children's' media. And this isn't just some show with a small fanbase--the Avatar franchise is huge and widely popular--so for this show of all shows to have canon bisexuals is pretty cool in my opinion. I do understand that not everyone is comfortable with homosexuality but this is a pro-Korrasami article so I won't get into that.
I also feel as if Korrasami is not as out of nowhere as everyone says it is. In the first season they bonded whilst racing at the Sato mansion. They were both cheated on by Mako at least once. Asami would teach her how to drive. Asami was the one seen helping her the most when she was in the wheel chair; doing her hair and what not. In that time her hand was always on Korra's shoulder. They had loads of hand touch moments. That clips episode, crappy as it was, had her comforting Korra. In that three years that Korra was missing, Asami was really the only one she kept in contact with. And those are just a few examples.
I also think they're cute together. They usually made me laugh or smile when they interacted and they are aesthetically pleasing...shallow as the later may be. But as foil characters I think they complement each other well and bring out the best in each other.
I'm also down with Korrasami because I personally feel like it's better than some other couples. I think Asami deserves better than Mako. Likewise Korra does too...and I just do not like Makorra in general. I'm totally glad Korrasami was chosen over it. Bosami just doesn't have enough development...though I love it. Same for Irohsami. Borra is also fine but after Korra sort of led him on I can't appreciate it as much. Don't get me wrong, aside from Makorra, I don't hate any of these ships...I just like Korrasami more. Though I think my OTP would be Korravira. :P
I think that's all I have for now. No disrespect intended to the opposition. Feel free to agree or disagree with me.
