... I didn't think it was that big of a deal.

It's a big enough deal, depending on who you talk to, but that's definitely a cultural thing. Mine's got a few issues it still needs to work out.

[ a cultural thing, huh... korra's quiet for a moment before offering: ]

Is it sort of like... when Sifu Katara found out she couldn't learn to waterbend because she was a girl?

[ he smiles a little mournfully, because she hit it on the head. ]

Yeah, it's a lot like that. Sex, gender, race, sexual orientation or a lack thereof. Some people will just find any reason they can to hate on someone else, and my world is full of it.

No offense, but that sounds like a dumb world.

[ korra can still remember talking to merida about how people in korra's world loved people of the same or different sex. there's no name for it — not in republic city, nor any of the surrounding countries. it just is. ]

You said it, sister. It's a bunch of bull, which is exactly why it's awesome not to see it here.

[ SHE JUST SHRUGS OK ]

I'm the most powerful person in the world back home, and no one's ever complained about the fact that I'm a girl.

[ or from the water tribe. ]

Though I guess I have Katara to thank for that, too. When she was a little girl she gave Pakku, the waterbending teacher, one heck of a fight to prove that girls were just as good as the boys.
