Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why are you taking offense to seeing people as sisters? In my opinion, being a sister is a far better feat than being a girlfriend. Girlfriends come and go. Sisters? They are forever.
Throughout the story, I never saw them progress as lovers, but as sisters connected through their struggles, their love for the same things, and their journey together. When Korra was down, Asami was there. When Asami lost it, Korra was there. Nothing about this screamed that they were in love. It spoke another tune to me. One that I shouldn't have to talk about but I will so you can understand my point of view.
As someone who has gone through some similar stages in my life, I relate to them as sisters as that's how I walked away from it all. When I was low, broken, and ready to give up, my best friend stepped to the plate. She wrote, she called, she told me everything I needed to hear. Said she loved me and couldn't imagine life without me. Said she would fly to me just to be with me to help me stand tall again. She was willing to give me everything just to see me smile again.
So before you judge someone, learn to walk a mile in their shoes.
What I see in Korra and Asami is what I went through with my best friend. We came out stronger than ever. She's more to me than someone I can date and toss aside. She's someone who crossed an invisible line and became my sister. She's the world to me and I would stop at nothing to ensure her happiness.
Does that make me a bad person because I relate to them differently? No. It just means that I've walked a different path in life and look to the Korra/Asami relationship with a different set of eyes. I don't care if they are cannon. In my mind, they will always be sisters because sisterhood mean more to me than a relationship. When you're broken and you feel like you have no one to turn to, your sister is always there. That's what I've learned. And with what Asami just went through, I'll always see Korra as her sister. The one person who would never take advantage of her when she's weak, the one person who will stand by her through it all, and the one person who will love her without lust or personal interest.
Being a sister is a selfless act. Being a lover? That's a selfish act.
But hey, that's just me. Don't like my opinion? Don't read it. You don't need to attack me for seeing things in another light. I have no problem with bisexual people. No issue with gay people. What I have an issue with is people who blatantly attack another over a differing, harmless view.
I apologize if my views bother you, or anyone else reading. But, again, you don't need to attack me. I'm not the enemy.
