He said he was happy with the mostly positive reaction to the finale, but admitted it is not “a slam-dunk victory for queer representation,” but hopes that it inches representation forward.

That all changed as the series finale approached, Konietzko said. He said that even while the idea of Korra’s relationship with Asami became serious to the show’s staff, they still only hinted at it because of an “unwritten rule” that they would not be allowed to depict a same-sex relationship on the show. He also emphasized that he did not want Korra to have to end up in a romantic relationship at the conclusion of the series. Konietzko said that “Korra’s spiritual arc” was not planned, like everything else on the show. The show has alluded to the romantic relationship and it is has been dutifully endorsed and examined by fans on the internet. DiMartino confirmed the relationship in a blog post, saying that in case anyone still thought it was ambiguous, he “wanted to make a clear verbal statement to complement the show’s visual one.” The final shot of the series shows protagonist Korra and her friend Asami clasping hands in a two-minute sequence. “You can celebrate it, embrace it, accept it, get over it, or whatever you feel the need to do, but there is no denying it,” Konietzko wrote.
