Gender. Gender. Gender.
I saw an arguement the other day for Borra that I meant to post about, forgot, but something I read recently reminded me. Here was the basis of the arguement: That Korra should have…
- You hate Mako because he is a two timing ass: but yet half of you are ok with Korra between two guys.
- You hate Mako because you think he is a jerk: but yet half of you love the jerk/cheating/bullying Tahno.
- You hate Mako because he is terrible to Bolin: yet he gave up his childhood to protect his brother and live on the streets where gangs/triads constantly patrolled and somehow Bolin came out perfect.
- You hate Mako because he kissed Korra: but yet you ALL tend to forget Korra initiated the kiss when Mako was trying to explain how he felt.
- You hate Mako because he took Asami's side in episode 7: but now when he is supports the Avatar and tries to be there for her as a friend it changes nothing.
- You hate Mako because he is confused about his romantic feelings toward Korra: yet when Katara was confused about her romantic feelings for Aang and it took all the way to the last episode of book 3 it was understandable, they were at war.
- You hate Mako because he can't decide between Asami or Korra: yet Sokka loved both Yue and Suki and had unresolved feelings throughout book 1 & 2.
- You hate Mako because he is weak minded: yet Zuko won your hearts by the end of the series because you saw him develop, Mako isn't afforded that.
- You hate Mako because he can be hotheaded from time to time: very unlike most firebenders we've seen.
- You hate Mako for being a bad influence on children watching the show: because yes, those children are clearly analyzing this as hard as you are. "Bolin makes me lol"
I have never been more… I don’t know how to say this… annoyed?… disgusted? with a fandom than I am right now.
And it’s not the Mako or Makorra discussions or anything like that, because most of them are well-thought, well-developed discussions on why they don’t like Mako or think that he’s not…
Seriously. You guys are welcome to have your opinion but I’m just amazed at how rabid the fanbase is on tumblr. I love how energetic everyone is about a show they love but jesus fucking christ.
Mako ~can hold Korra. You guys call him mama mako for a reason. THATS WHAT HES FUCKING LIKE. the dude is protective— EG HIS ENTIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH ASAMI. He didn’t think of the kiss? That’s because he was “WITH ASAMI,” as he yelled to Korra when she was trying to draw him away. For fuck’s sake, get off your high horses. You’re not being high-minded or whatever you want to call it. The boy has been through shit. Someone somewhere talked about how he bends lightning, and how you have to have so much self control for that. Sure, there were fire benders at the plant, but i’m sure it’s still a difficult task, like the metalbenders most likely— and now i’m getting on a tangent but seriously:
I’m just so tired of the mako hate.
I shouldn’t have typed this while angry, i’m sure you guys are all awesome and stuff, but jeez, man. I come here to be with fellow fans of the show and enjoy shit and all i get is this misguided anger. jeesh.
yelled Mako as he pushed people out of the way to get closest her
god Mako i am just not feeling you
I don’t approve of you, Mako!
I don’t approve!
LMAO, Mako you can do absolutely nothing right for this fandom.
its ok, i love you anyway. :)
