Can we please talk about something other than people hating the show?
I get that there's a bunch of people out there that hate Korra or the show. I get that plenty of them do it for stupid reasons like sexism, whether they realize it or not. I get that it's frustrating to see people hate on your favourite show.
But can we please stop giving them so much attention?
There are times when it feels like half the posts in this sub are just people complaining about haters. Sometimes it's not even complaining in a meaningful or creative way, just someone posting a screenshot of some TikTok calling Korra stupid, with just a title along the lines of "what are your thoughts?". No thesis of their own, no arguments, no counterpoints, just "What are your thoughts?".
It's gotten to the point where I've probably seen more people talking about haters than I've seen actual haters. Now, that may be because I curate my online experience, and if so, I recommend doing the same (it's not cowardly to block people you've never interacted with or to click "don't recommend this channel to me").
Still, can't we focus on what we like about this show? How it portrayed trauma and healing? The way Korra's arc of being a warrior forced to be a diplomat creates narrative tension and contrasts so beautifully with Aang's arc of being a diplomat forced to be a warrior? How Korra and Mako's messy romance showed a teenage audience that being into each other is not enough to sustain a lasting relationship if the two of you aren't compatible?
Or even talk about where the show fell short, like how Korra and Asami's romance could have used a little more build up (still one of my favourite ships, but they could have gotten more time), or how show liked to use the trappings and origins of political ideologies (like early socialist workers' unions for the equalists or anarchism for Zaheer), but kind of fumbled the ball on actually examining them, or how platinum is a terrible metal for combat vehicles, especially when it's load-bearing, and is apparently pretty common in the universe (seriously, just call it a platinum alloy instead)?
So, can the mods please either institute a rule against these kinds of posts or limit them to a specific day? "Complainers' Tuesday" maybe?
