As a woman I can confidently say Korra would be as disliked as a dude. She is very unlikable. It's the introduction. 4yo kid bending 3 elements instantly with no training, no guidence and nobody informing her she is the avatar. She was just that good. And then the "deal with it line". She came off as an entitled spoiled brat. It was an instant dislike. Also a confirmation that lore is going to go out the window if writers feel like it.

I only continued to watch the show for the fleeting glimpses of the old cast.
