There are Legend of Korra spoilers ahead

Spoiler

Korrasami= the relationship or "ship" between main characters Avatar Korra and Asami Sato, meant in a romantic sense.
This video brings up a few points I'd like to query,

1.) Should the Korrasami ship have been more explicit (should there have been more evidence, say, a kiss)?
2.) Do you think there's equal representation for gay and lesbian relationships in modern media?
3.) When will show producers have license to feel like they can safely portray queer relationships?
You're always welcome to add your own questions.

Happy Valentine's Day, Sep7.

What is a korrasami?

I'll update the OP, but for bump value I'll state it here too.
Korrasami is the relationship or shipping between major characters Korra and Asami.
It signifies a romantic unit.

Okey dokey.
Part of the reason I didn't see the end of Korra as being more groundbreaking like other fans did was because there wasn't an explicit moment. In other words, I would have appreciated a kiss considering it happened at other points in the series. I was curious if after a few months fans would see it as awesome and groundbreaking as they did when it aired, so I I'll ask,
Is the effect of Korrasami as interesting as it seemed back then?
Why?
