[About the Korra finale]
I can’t believe this happened on Nickelodeon. I’m in shock. But then again, considering all the other signs in American culture, it shouldn’t come as a surprise at all. I’m just heartbroken. I can take the opposing viewpoints, but now they’re targeting our children?

Say what you want, but I didn't even ship these two and I think it was done quite beautifully.
Butthurt homophobic shipper is butthurt.
It took you until the finale to figure it out? The show was clearly shipping them since the start of season three. Also, it's just two girls dating. Get over it. You see straight couples in TV shows all the time but you don't see anyone complaining about that stuff being targeted at kids even when people should be, such as when it's portraying an unhealthy relationship like Beauty and the Beast's portayal of Stolkholm Syndrome as a positive thing.
I'm normally not one to go to extremes, but screw you with a rusty metal cactus Jamie.
Korrasami was a beautifully told story-within-a-story.
"I can’t believe this happened on Nickelodeon. I’m in shock."
Same. In a GOOD way.
"But then again, considering all the other signs in American culture, it shouldn’t come as a surprise at all."
I'd argue that the "other signs" make it even more surprising.
"I’m just heartbroken."
Why? Is true love bad now?*
"I can take the opposing viewpoints, but now they’re targeting our children?"
One, no you can't. Two, no they aren't.
I’m just heartbroken
THIS IS NOT THE SENTIMENT OF TRUE METAL! YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GODS OF HARD ROCK AND ELECTRIC GUITARS! ROCK OUT TO 'IRON MAIDEN'S "NUMBER OF THE BEAST" 12 TIMES TO REPENT OF YOUR WEAKNESS, OR YOU SHALL NEVER ENTER METAL VALHALLA, AND WILL FOREVER LANGUISH IN THE LANDS OF FLAVOURLESS COTTON CANDY AND LADY GAGA! RENOUNCE YOUR PUSSIFICATION, AND ONCE MORE BECOME METAL!!
Why were the fundamentalist Christians upset about Korrasami of all things? Shouldn't they have been upset at Vaatu much earlier, either for:
I'm just annoyed that there's no more to watch.
Are people still talking about this?

*throws up the horns* BY THE HOLY TRINITY OF DICKINSON, HALFORD, AND KILLMINSTER, SO SHALL IT BE DONE!
I don't think the writers of the show should have to apologise for canonizing the only relationship in that show with romantic chemistry, especially after the multi-season long debacle with Korra's previous love intrest. Hell, she could have fallen in love with her damn wheelchair, so long as it didn't take up half a goddamn season, so stop pushing your prejudices and let the writers do what they want.
I’m just heartbroken. I can take the opposing viewpoints, but now they’re targeting our children?
Obviously you can't Jamie.

PUSSIFY = POWERFUL!
Maybe "Wimpify" or "Jello-fy" would be a better.
@Sweetride
Yep, those were the days. Sexism, racism, persecution, brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it.*
@ Doucheride
Oh no, we're teaching children tolerance and to be accepting of things outside a very narrow social norm. The world is going to end!
Korra and Asami are cute together and I like the ship.

And with Christianity, the quality of education that your country is now reduced to? Oh, for SHAME!
@AuraTwilight
To say nothing of "MLP:FiM". Princess Celestia - the equine analogue of Amun-Ra/The 'Aten' - A god, who has the temerity of actually existing , neigh, going among her subjects in Equestria? And, dare I say it... is Omnibenevolent ?! HERESY! /)^3^(\
There should be more MOGAI representation in children's fiction. Hell, I'll accept a few MOGAI villains. Baby steps.
@SpukiKitty : I am stealing "Jellofy" now.
Looking at the title of the blog, it appears the OP misspelled "The MENTAL Christian Speaks".
@Triple D *Quack!*
What's "MOGAI"?
Children are born accepting and sharing. Bigotry and hatred needs to be taught.
If the child asks "why are two women hugging", you can either say "they are happy that it's all over and they are safe", or "they love each other like mummy and daddy do", and in both cases the kid will probably just say "Oh, OK" and keep on playing.
> I can't wait until these assholes learn about Steven Universe. They'll fucking explode.
To be fair, they didn't die when Patty Bouvier (Marge Simpson's sister, and yes I did need to look up the spelling) came out explicitly.
@ SpukiKitty
I am using the term as George Carlin would have used it, as a synonym for soft, wimpy, weak. But I can see your point.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
