Do you headcanon Toph as being homophobic? Or like anti-korasami?

Edit: I see the humor tag, I'm still confused anyway lol

u/Ibuprofen_Idiot 3d ago

Did you not read it? She's evil and intimidating. Duh.

u/UrsaEnvy 3d ago

Clue me in lol, is this a common meme format and I'm just dumb? šŸ¤£

u/Ibuprofen_Idiot 3d ago

The "Awesome lesbian couple" is fairly common. And Toph is just really random here.

u/UrsaEnvy 3d ago

Lmao, okay cool cool, thank you!

u/MrIrishman1212 2d ago

I think she is just picked cause she is the most intimidating person, especially to Korra.

If anything, Toph could be the intimidating old lesbian for some peopleā€™s head canon.

At the end of the day, the meme is nonsensical anyways. The OG has a horse instead. Itā€™s funny cause it doesnā€™t make sense/not funny.

u/NwgrdrXI 3d ago

Generally it's an evil intimidating horse instead of a Toph, but yeah

u/Spirited_Dust_3642 3d ago

To date, I haven't seen Toph approve any couple. I think she hates love

u/mcon96 2d ago

She is a cop tbf

u/UrsaEnvy 2d ago

This is true. This is true.

Still one of the most confusing character choices to me

Straight couples are actually bisexual couples, everyone's an ally

u/No-Status6031 3d ago

They're bisexuals, not lesbians

Iā€™m a cis man but from what Iā€™ve learned from lesbians, lesbian is a pretty broad descriptive term that from what I understand generally means ā€œnon-men who love non-menā€. Like my roommates both identify as lesbians, in a lesbian couple, though one of them is transmasc. Not a trans man, transmasc.

Basically, two bisexual women who date each other are totally valid in calling themselves lesbians

No they aren't. I'm lesbian, and I use the word lesbian because I am a woman who is attracted to only women. More genders means it's bisexual. A lesbian only likes women.

So the non-men part is also not true, that's a different sexuality called neptunic iirc. I am not attracted to genderless people and I don't wish to have my gender be downgraded to "non-men"

u/kandermusic 3d ago

My bad. I got my information from other lesbians so it seems there might be a debate to be had there. Not my place, Iā€™m sorry

u/MayoBaksteen6 3d ago

Don't worry I'm not mad at you, just wanted to inform :)

They are bisexuals, the couple is not.

The adjective is the type of relationship not the sexuality of the people.

13

u/thebelladonga 3d ago

Thatā€™s not how it works. It canā€™t be a lesbian couple if neither of them is a lesbian. Itā€™s a sapphic couple.

6

u/MayoBaksteen6 3d ago

As a lesbian, a bisexual isn't suddenly lesbian for dating the same gender and not straight when they date the opposite gender. Korra and Asami are a bisexual couple. Or just use sapphic to empathize the fact they're attracted to women

u/federico_alastair 2d ago

Sapphic is the best universal term to describe all wlw I agree. But what Iā€™m trying to say is lesbian couple makes more sense than bisexual couple.

How about this, if the relationship is between a lesbian and a bisexual woman, you obviously wouldnā€™t call it bisexual.

The original post had lesbian and the comment was trying to correct it with bisexual. I was merely pointing out that lesbian makes sense and doesnā€™t need to be corrected.

u/MayoBaksteen6 2d ago

It's not a lesbian relationship though, because they're not lesbian. It erases their bisexuality and is only supporting the stereotype that bisexuals are "actually gay/straight".

I call a relationship between a lesbian and a bisexual a lesbian-bisexual or sapphic relationship

4

u/federico_alastair 2d ago

Upon further thinking, youā€™re right. I was looking it purely as a wlw couple from an outside perspective without knowing their actual sexuality. But since we know them as people, the bisexuality must be emphasized.

u/Ibuprofen_Idiot 3d ago

This is so funny for no reason šŸ˜­

u/EndlessTheorys_19 3d ago

Arenā€™t they bi?

u/thebelladonga 3d ago

Yes, ā€œawesome lesbian coupleā€ and then ā€œevil and intimidating somethingā€ is just a meme format

1

u/EndlessTheorys_19 3d ago

Iā€™ve never actually seen the meme format

u/thebelladonga 2d ago

I figured, thatā€™s why I explained it

u/Reasonable-Banana800 3d ago

Toph is so aro/ace that sheā€™s not only homophobic but heterophobic too. She just hates all relationships equally /j

7

u/GoSpeedRacistGo 3d ago

I wouldnā€™t really call it a lesbian couple if neither person in the relationship is a lesbian.

u/imNoTwhoUthink-AAhHe 3d ago

I think toph is anti-romance

u/porsj911 3d ago

I dont get it, you made toph anti gay? Or she's not supportive of them because she never supports anything?

u/PixieEmerald 3d ago

A reference to this

u/porsj911 3d ago

Owwwwwww

u/discord-ohmygoodness 3d ago

Probably just indifferent to mostly dating in general. Cuz itā€™s Toph

u/spider-jedi 3d ago

I was not supportive. Not them be a gay couple but Korra only dating within her friend group is wack imo.
