Korra doesn't 'swoon' and Lin is not a man: 3 Fangirls and a Rant

If you haven't seen Avatar: the Last Airbender or Avatar: The Legend of Korra what are you doing? Don't stay here looking at this post. Go forth, buy, borrow, download. AtLA and Korra are among the most interesting, nuanced, fascinatingly constructed genre television programming I have ever watched, with superbly etched out characters and outstanding world-building, and has introduced one of the most interesting character arcs I have ever seen, in a show for children or for adults. Also, and as a fan of colour, it was an amazing experience to see chromatic characters on my screen, mainstream, front and centre, good and bad, black, white and grey (characterization not race) and general \o/. So unsurprising then that the meta that fandom wrote on this show was both expansive and engaging.

But there have been some posts on tumblr lately, that have me, and other fans like me going wtf? The post in question:

So zorana84, swatkat24 and I spent about an hour ranting and then another hour trying to put together a coherent response.
