vanity fair said “if you think this final shot [between Korra and Asami] was denoting mere friendship, you’re kidding yourself.”

forbes said “a series revealing its openly gay Nickelodeon character in the last episode is […] the natural conclusion to a show’s fan base who was forced to grow up along with the series” and that “The Legend of Korra, a Nickelodeon cartoon, changed the face of TV.”

huffington post said “Korrasami supporters around the world let out a scream of joy. The fan ship finally seems to be official.”

international business times said “The Legend of Korra finally ended its four glorious seasons but not without astonishing its fans by projecting Korra and Asami’s unspoken love in the most poignant and graceful manner possible.”

a.v. club said “the nature of Korra and Asami’s relationship isn’t made overly explicit, but the writers heavily hint at a romantic connection.”

tv.com said “I can understand resistance to the idea that […] Korra and Asami are starting a relationship together, but I just don’t think the episode really supports that resistance and it is, in fact, declaring Korra and Asami as a couple.”

at this point, Korra and Asami’s moments together at the end of the episode shouldn’t and cannot be seen as anything but romantic. stop trying to make fans think they’re just imagining things, and stop trying to make this about friendship. it’s about two queer girls and about how incredibly important they are to the LGBTQ community.
