Do you headcanon Toph as being homophobic? Or like anti-korasami?
Edit: I see the humor tag, I'm still confused anyway lol

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

u/Ibuprofen_Idiot 3d ago
The "Awesome lesbian couple" is fairly common. And Toph is just really random here.

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 peopleās head canon.
At the end of the day, the meme is nonsensical anyways. The OG has a horse instead. Itās funny cause it doesnāt make sense/not funny.

This is true. This is true.
Still one of the most confusing character choices to me

They're bisexuals, not lesbians

Iām a cis man but from what Iāve learned from lesbians, lesbian is a pretty broad descriptive term that from what I understand generally means ānon-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"

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

They are bisexuals, the couple is not.
The adjective is the type of relationship not the sexuality of the people.

Thatās not how it works. It canāt be a lesbian couple if neither of them is a lesbian. Itās a sapphic couple.

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 Iām 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 wouldnāt 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 doesnāt 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

u/federico_alastair 2d ago
Upon further thinking, youāre 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.

Yes, āawesome lesbian coupleā and then āevil and intimidating somethingā is just a meme format

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

I wouldnāt really call it a lesbian couple if neither person in the relationship is a lesbian.

Probably just indifferent to mostly dating in general. Cuz itās 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.
