I heard that rationalization, but frankly it never convinced me. I may remember it wrong since I saw those episodes a long time ago, but IIRC, Mai was cold about the kidnapping even before Azula showed up, whereas she had no trouble showing emotions about other subjects Azula could have manipulated her about (for example, she blushed and looked coy when she was informed that they were going after Zuko).
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
