Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

Certainly, there's potential for problems in the relationship between Asami and Mako, given the interesting intersectionalities of privilege inherent in it - he's a bender, she's not; her father is bankrolling his family's entire future - but leaping from there to "She's an evil whore!" is just classic shipper obnoxiousness.

Mind you, I blame the creators for handling their relationship so strangely - they meet, and then on the basis of mutual attraction decide to go on a... 'date'(?) to get to know each other better? Weird! Why couldn't they build UST over the course of years before falling into bed together at sweeps like normal people?

If Tarrlok's absurdly hammy "I'm not interrupting... am I?" entrance doesn't become a meme, I will be disappointed with the internet.
