The Legend Of Korra: Turf Wars Library Edition

Product Information

During her speech to the evacuees, Korra tells them that "change can be good or bad, depending on your point of view", which is the same advice Tenzin gave her in " A Breath of Fresh Air". It is sad and really not at all surprising that, even today, a lot of the media we consume which boasts of content exploring various sexual orientations, in fact use nothing more than the dreadful and offensive queerbaiting technique, or otherwise resort to subtext: safe, risk-free options whilst still placing heterosexual pairings in the spotlight. And the need to bury the "Bury Your Gays" trope has never been more vital and cannot be ignored any longer. In an age of so-called "progress" and tolerance, the message, though likely unconscious on the writer's part, is nevertheless there in most media: "I and quite a majority of people still think you are wrong for existing. We might intentionally add in a little sexual tension between characters of the same sex, but that's for fanservice only, and we will never really have the secure balls to go anywhere with it, much less commit to a same-sex coupling. So it'll be death, or teasing played for laughs at your expense. No happy ending for you either way. I mean, you're only a very small minority, right? Ain't we progressive? Why aren't you people ever satisfied? Bye!"

And to point out once again, it is official continuation of the series and Korrasami is as canon as canon be.

After a refreshing sojourn in the Spirit World, Korra and Asami return to Republic City but find nothing but political hijinks and human vs. spirit conflict! Part 1 ends with Tokuga, freshly mutated by the spirit's possession, storming into Keum's office and forcibly seizing control of his assets. The spirit asks Korra to close the portal, insisting that the portal was never meant to be and that humans will only exploit it, after which Korra asks why the spirits were suddenly interested in human conflicts. The spirit tells her that now there is a portal to the Spirit World in the middle of a metropolis, the spirits must be protected. Korra understands, telling the spirit that everybody wants to keep the spirits safe but that the new spiritual energy will have a harmonious effect on the citizens of Republic City. The spirit concedes eventually, but also tells her that while he can not force her to close the portals, she is going to be held responsible for keeping the portal safe before leaving. Asami tells Korra that she will not have to protect it alone, and the airbenders support her. Still angry about them for trespassing, Wonyong shouts at the group to leave, making Korra go into the Avatar State and scare him and his construction workers away.

Shooting Superman: Tokuga tosses throwing knives at a spirit, which have no effect on a being with no tangible form. Having grown up in near isolation from the rest of the world, it doesn't occur to Korra that some people might take issue with her relationship with Asami.B, Lauren (August 15, 2017).
