On the one hand, I don't get the idea that Asami financed both sides of the war in books 2 and 4.
On the other hand, the idea that the entire series was orchestrated by Asami solely for the purpose of getting in Korra's pants is really funny.

Especially in book 2 where her company almost went under partly due to book 1 fallout.
Anon got his wires crossed with Varrick who was in fact supplying both sides of the conflict (or at least tried to)

Tbf Varrick did buy out Future Industries, so Varrick could very well have used FI to fund Kuvira, although maybe not the Southern Civil War cause the timing gets kinda wonky

The company returns to Asami at the end of book 2 because the powers that be were a teeny weeny upsetti spaghetti at Varrick.

I reckon the biggest crime of the series was her father orchestrating Cabbage corp allegations

I love it when theories are entirely supported by made up stuff that doesn’t actually happen

ME TOO. That’s why I love this fandom, because I can make an entire list of bs it pulls out its ass :)

Just like all those posts about how Iroh was totally super duper evil, and their evidence essentially begins and ends with “someone drew fanart of him looking scary”

Honestly this is an amazing twist, the hero's love interest is also the mastermind behind everything
Already done before though. I am going to spoil a 13 years old show
Elementary, a sherlock holmes in modern day show. Irene Adler is also Moriarty

Her father is basically Henry Ford. This isn’t surprising at all. Just like they say in book 1 and 3 (and a certain real life manifest) the unjustly powerful are orchestrating conflicts to distract and control the masses as their means of amassing excess wealth.

Asami was supposed to be one of the baddies in the beginning, which is why she was given the Femme Fatale style. They later changed her, but she remained a baddie.
