Avatar: The Legend of Korra Do you think Korra is a hypocrite, for gagging at Asami and Mako showing public affection, but then goes and does it with Mako?

It's honestly a jealousy thing. Korra was clearly jealous that she couldn't have Mako, and anything that Asami and Mako did together made her sick. But then, when Korra gets with Mako, it is perfectly acceptable for her to act that lovey dovey way with her man, and she expects everyone to be okay with it. And from that scene, Bo sure as hell didn't find it cute. He felt like a third wheel.....
Korra has every right to act that way with her boyfriend, but I just don't care for the attitude change.....it was okay for her to kiss Mako and be with him, but it wasn't okay when Mako was dating Asami. I just think it's some flawed logic on her part.
As for the Promise thing......I think it is hypocritical for Sokka in a sense too. He frowns upon Kataang's love, not because he doesn't like Aang or anything like that, but he clearly doesn't want to see his baby sister getting close with a dude. That's a big brother thing. As I'm sure, Katara didn't really care for Sokka and Suki's lovey dovey relationship. To think of your sibling macking (or doing anything else) with someone is kinda gross....so I do get where Sokka is coming from; however, they were all getting into their teen years, and needed to accept that they all are growing up. Sokka and Suki were together, so he shouldn't have been judgmental with his sister's relationship.
They both are hypocritical in a sense.....
And YES, I think that saying she's young and still has growing up to do IS a valid reason not to be overly upset about it, seeing as most seventeen year olds I know have a lot of growing up to do at that age. News flash: People don't automatically grow up once they hit sixteen or seventeen, nor should they be expected to.
And how is posting this being a hypocrite? I'm not the one who made gagging faces at someone, then went and did the
Oh boy, just wonderful. So let me see, people shouldn't grow up at sixteen and seventeen? When they can get jobs, drive, and almost be aloud to vote? Perfectly fine for them to act like whiney immature spoiled children? Are you even listening to what you are saying? They had their time to grow up! They are not kids anymore, there for should act like that!
And don't you DARE say 'most teenagers' again freskin excuses. Yu may act like a childish brat, but that doesn't mean every teenagers should be given such a pathetic excuses. Don't know how you were raised, but I would never be aloud to get away with anything childish like that, I started growing up once I was 13, because I wasn't a child anymore. My little sister is now 13 and she been more mature then half the teenagers I have met.
Magical: Again, missing the point all together miss biased hypocrite herself. Hald the time i don't even think you even think before you click. Like I said, so you are just as immature and childish as Korra is. Worse, you claim to be in your 20s. More like preteens.
Also people, learn what a hypocrite is. Because frankly, this might as well be a fact. Korra complains about someone doing something, making fun of them. Then she goes right ahead and does it herself, because it's okay when she does it. There for completely making her a hypocrite. Complaining about something, doing it = hypocrite.
1. a person who indulges in hypocrisy.
hy·poc·ri·sy, noun
1. the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.
You are being a hypocrite by saying that we act like childish brats. When you continually act like just that. Every comment you have made on this site have been rude, conceited and belligerent towards anyone elses feeling or opinions.
*facepalm* for example is an extremely rude and childish way of saying that you do not respect our opinions and that we are stupid and not worth your time.
Your sarcastic and bullying comments prove that you yourself are nothing more then a whiney immature spoiled child, yet at 19 you are no longer even considered a teenager but legally an adult. This does nothing to prove your point that being young is no excuse for being a hypocrite. Because by lambasting Korra for not acting like and adult at 17 and not acting like anything close to an adult yourself at 19 you are by definition a hypocrite.
People don't instantaneously grow up at 13. That is not the definition of "grow"
grow, verb
1. (of a living thing) undergo natural development by increasing in size and changing physically; progress to maturity.
2. become larger or greater over a period of time; increase.
So how about you get yourself a dictionary and GROW UP.
@minervadawn Thank you, your last comment took the words right our of my mouth. She seems to call everyone who she disagrees with childish. She called me immature for sticking up to magicalgirl for exsample. And yeah, I've seen her bullying people on many clubs across this site. I will admit some of the things she's yelled at people for a fair, but she called me a pedophile for saying I ship practically everything and has actually yelled at me and accused me of being a suck up for giving people compliments and fanning people back who fanned me! Last I checked, being polite was a good thing. I feel like those are a few examples of how she treats people quite disrespectfully. I actually didn't mind debating with her until she made me feel personally disrespected. The fact that she runs around call people hypocrites is hypocritical in itself.
And yeah to go with the point of this debate. Whist I do feel like she Korra was being hypocritical in her actions, I do feel like her age has something to do with it. And no, everyone matures differently. There's no set age in which *poof* you act like an adult. In fact college students (aged 20-22) have the stereotype for being immature with their 'wild college parties and new found freedom'. I feel as though people never truly do grow up, they just learn when and when not to act childish. I'm serious when I need to be, but--like most people--I still like to have fun and watch children's show or play children games. In fact, I've had toddlers ask me to go on the slide or on the merry-go-round in the park with them. To put it simply, yes Korra was being hypocritical, but I do feel like her age is a factor because hitting 18 (much less 14-17, as pumpkin suggested) doesn't automatically make you act like an adult. Life expiracnes make you grow more not the number of years you have been alive.
Again I just hate how anytime someone debates with her she turns it from discussing the character to 'you're immature' or 'since you like Makorra you must like cheating on people'. Stick to insulting the characters not actual people. And this is on pretty much every spot she's a part of.
That being said, I suppose this is none of my business but it just makes me so mad when I see someone going around insulting people on a daily baceis. Especially if the people getting insulted are people I consider friends.
Despite the fact that your favorite characters are almost always villains, you are one of the nicest people I know and I find the fact that ship everyone really cute, particularly since you ship them all romantically. Anyone that loves love that much is alright in my book.
As for pumkinqueen for someone that worships Asami's niceness she sure seems to have a vendetta against it in real life.
Pumpkinqueen:Yeah that's a very funny joke once again. I don't think YOU don't think before you type. Saying *facepalm* is like saying a lot of us are stupid for are opinion. And that is being an inmature brat child. My god if everybody on here were like you I would get my ass out of here T__T I'm just giving my opinion like everybody else. Why are you always starting a fight with me? Starting a fight won't do you any good. This started in the summer time .I'm very sick with this crap. Why can't you just ingore my comments?
I agree with minervadawn, Zanhar1 and tsmith120.
Aww, thank you. Yeah, when people meet me they usually think I like charactes like Ty-Lee and Snow White, when they find out I shoot for characters like Bellatrix, Azula, and Gina they usually end up like 'Da fuq, you like her!?' I suppose I have to have some evil in me, and it comes out through my character choices. xP Lol thanks.
I bought that up after she accused me of sucking up, fanning too many people, and 'expecting everyone to post rainbows in their comments'--basically after she accused me of being too nice. Funny part is, she went off on me once for saying Asami's fatal flaw was being to nice (a flaw I may or may not share with her).
@tsmith, that's a good point. Kind of what I meant by expirance helps one grow as a person and not just some number slapped on you based on the passage of time. I think I'm going to change my answer, because, damn, when you put it like that it makes sense.
@magicalgirl The world is full of both mean and nice people. You just gotta find the nice ones and stick with them and not let people push you away from something you like/love.
