But firstly, if you're not averse to Legend of Korra spoilers, and you haven't already, I strongly recommend going and reading the LJ comments to my post yesterday. (Assuming, of course, that LJ is working.)
And on a related note, certain people (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE) may benefit from the Mandarin translation of "melody".
Anyway, this was my morning yesterday.
Approx 9am: A photograph of the new Korra poster is revealed, featuring Korra and two attractive teenage boys, one an earthbender, one a firebender.
9.01: Fandom starts shipping them.
9.20: Tweets from the panel at Comic-Con reveal they are brothers.
9.21: Eight tenths of fandom stop shipping them. A much smaller percentage of people start.
9.30: It is revealed that the chief of police in RepublicCity Union is Toph's daughter.
9.31:A horde of rabid Tophzula shippers I start to worry about my OTP.
9.20: It is established beyond doubt that Chief Bei Fong is Tophzula's Sokka-baster-baby. So that's okay, then.
9.40: The revelation that Tenzin has a wife and children causes three Tenzin/Korra shippers to flounce.
9.45: The revelation that Tenzin is the youngest of three causes eighteen Zutara shippers to flounce.
9.50: The first Korra/Mako v Korra/Bolin shipwar commences.
FIVE HOURS LATER: Fandom begins to ship Korra/Bei Fong.
TWELVE HOURS LATER: Less awesome parts of fandom wonder how a blind woman can have a child. They are smacked down.
THIRTEEN HOURS LATER: Even less awesome parts of fandom complain that Korra looks like a lesbian. They are smacked down.
THIRTY-SIX HOURS LATER: The first Korra/Bei Fong prompt goes up at the kink meme.Yes, that was mine.
Actual proper news, or at least handy links to same, can be found here.

Date: 2011-07-25 08:40 pm (UTC)Seriously? Do they think the uterus has some special connection to the eyeballs? Do they imagine the baby's in some quantum state where if you're not observing it emerge it will vanish in a puff of logic? Have they severely misunderstood the term "eye-fucking" and drawn vastly inaccurate conclusions about where babies come from?
Or is it something more boring like "Disabled people aren't really sexual, and also can't be expected to be parents ever"? It's the boring one, isn't it?
