mirrors our world where people went from just being naked to highly prudish. falls flat because we never see the cultural context behind such fashion in TLOK, so it's only there for setting dressing which makes it feel hollow. Style without substance, which is tbf the common sticking point for 1920's/victorian/steampunk/pre-modern vibe in a non-earth setting; it's there to give vibes, not because it organically occurred.
Op is a moron but Asia adopted more western clothing trends as it modernized abd Korra was a blatant caricature of 1920s Asia hence why the clothing anesthetics from the early 1900s was borrowed
That’s how real life fashion works. It’s not always a linear line of least amount of skin showing -> most amount of skin showing, instead it moves more in cycles. In many cultures of our irl 19th or 18th centuries, it was perfectly acceptable and normal to go publicly swimming or bathing in full nude.
Public nude swimming was considered perfectly ordinary for prepubescent children well into the 20th century and for private swimming areas until the mid-century.

Regency era dresses and outdoors wear were seen as scandalously revealing by the late Victorian era. Also going by OP's pic, Asami is wearing less than Mai on the whole and Mako's trunks are shorter than Zuko's while also being skintight.
The lightning bending power generation always gets me. I don’t have a problem with lightning bending getting more common or using bending for generating power, but literally any other method would have been more efficient. Water bending to turn turbines, fire handing to heat water, earth bending to turn a wheel running a generator. Anything would have been more efficient. A prized skill 70 years ago turning into a minimum for shitty menial labor feels like commentary that didn't land.
Also yeah there really should have been more racial tension between fire handlers and earth benders. The end of a 100 year long colonization/occupation being the creation of a new country wouldn’t have made both equally miserable.
Bending in the Korra is approached completely differently than in the original show. Feats of bending were toned down so Lightning bending's autistic requirements were most likely nerfed along with everything else. And the Racial tension was basically Bender-NonBender. 100 years is a long time to forget old wounds especially when most of the original victims are dead by that point
Wait, did you think the 100 year war happened 100 years ago? No it's called that because it lasted 100 years and ended when Aang defeated ozai. The youngest victims of the war are still alive. Litterly every person in the world in Korra still has some connection to the war
Shouldn't you be mad at ATLA for having anachronistic swimsuits?
fricking dumbass
Dude, its a cartoon. Maybe in their universe thats more modern

Eh, it sorta makes sense, considering it's in dieselpunk times.

>Korra was a blatant caricature of 1920s Asia

Definitely could have used a better shot for the TLA swimsuits kek
moronic avatar fans when they see people have different swimsuits
This is like that one disabled guy but if he wasn't disabled.

I don't like TLOK either but OP is an idiot.
Where is the problem?
they are based on swim suits from the 20s you fricking moron
LOOK AT THIS! compare this swimwear from the early 70s to swimwear from 2020s
>doesn't this get you boiling mad???
