>>94276111I really don't like the series Korra, and I hate that damn love-triangle, but I think that makes some sense.
Those people worship the avatar. Korra has celebrity AND religious status by many people, so they wouldn't critizise her.
The rest is much more interested in using her, than in critizising her, and the consequences of her actions are dire.
In my opinion she is a hormonal teenager over her head, that has automatic hero worship because she is the avatar.
That wasn't the story I wanted to see, but it's not really that unrealistic.
