“It’s a tough decision. The slut in me wants to be with Asami, but the smart and sensible guy in me should probably go for Korra. But Asami is still really hot.”— David Faustino (Mako’s voice actor) when questioned about his ship for The Legend of Korra
Why does it seem like nobody’s as appalled as I am that he implies he’d have to be a slut to want to be with Asami? Or that “smart and sensible” wouldn’t go for her?
[ So I saw this pop up on my dash and… I have no words. I, too, am appalled.
Guys, he just reduced Asami to nothing but sex (appeal) based on her looks. To compare the two and say Korra is the ‘smart and sensible’ choice basically says that Asami has zero substance or value as a girlfriend aside from the physical. And yet he’s being lauded as perfect?
Please explain to me how this comment makes him perfect. ]
I haven’t reblogged this yet because I have the same concerns.
Asami is being referred to as nothing but a pretty face, and there is no value on her personality or depth as a character.
I don’t like this.
I don’t like this either. There’s still more to learn about Asami, and the last episode alone has made her more awesome than ever with the many in the fandom. Faustino knows more about what happens in the show, let alone Asami’s character than we do at this point. And that’s all he’s gotten out of it?
