The only thing I don't really like about these polls is that having more votes than the other ship doesn't make it any better...

^ there's that, and it's more than likely Maiko = Kataang, so it's almost a repeat Zutara vs Kataang poll.

Any poll vs Zutara will draw voters from Kataang, Maiko, and non-shippers who hate Zutara so it will always be lopsided. But it's close enough to tell me that Zutara beats all other ships on a one-to-one even though I can't think of a truly honest way to gauge it. But what does it matter anyway, especially when you know the votes won't be a true indicator? I did vote in this poll, but really ... who cares?

I like both parings I cant really chose i admit cuz I liked Zutara and the Kaang first when Mai wasnt in the series then all of a sudden I like Mai and Zuko together. So I'm a muitshipper dang it!! XD

I don't want to turn this into debate, but for one, I don't hate Zutara and I'm sure alot of other Kataangers and Maiko's feel the same. Two, just because I like Kataang doesn't mean I automatically like Maiko.

I think what people are doing the most is basing the paring just because they dont like who the person is with. You can like the pairing and no one can stop you from liking you just dont be a kid and say oh Zutara is better cuz Mai didnt touch Zuko's scar more affectly than her. I think thats dumb. If the pairring didnt happen you could still like it and read tons of fanfiction and imagine what could have been.

Two, just because I like Kataang doesn't mean I automatically like Maiko. That's true, but a lot of people do like Maiko because it goes with Kataang. It's called "side-shipping." I would think that more Kataang fans side-ship Maiko than the other way around simply because it's a bigger fandom, and it doesn't really seem to make sense to side-ship Kataang as a result of liking Maiko But yeah, it's like other people have said, just because a pairing is liked by more people doesn't make it better. And I stick to this because for some reason I never seem to like the popular and canon ships

Two, just because I like Kataang doesn't mean I automatically like Maiko. But in this poll you voted for Maiko (if you voted) and so did every other Kataanger I'll bet. Not a bad thing of course, but I'm just saying that any vs Zutara poll is going to have a team-up vote on the other side. So the results don't actually mean anything. I think you might get Zutarians voting for Taang in a poll vs Katara, but probably not as many because it doesn't seem to spark as much passion for or against.

Sokka's ships have always been the more interesting for me until Song, Jin, and Mai entered the scene for Zuko and Toph entered the scene for Aang. I'm not half as intrigued by Aang's and Katara's typical tv romance as I am by Mai and Zuko.

Same applies for Zutarians, anyone who is anti- Kataang will vote for Zutara. It works both ways.
Anyway, I liked Maiko way before it became 'popular', back in 2x03, good time... So yer, I am a Kataanger, but my like for Maiko is separate. Though they do go nicely together.

um....it's the same for Kataang. Zutarians, Taangs, and non-shippers who hate Kataang will vote against it

Zutarians, Taangs, and non-shippers who hate Kataang will vote against it I don't think people who are anti-Kataang are as passionately against it as anti-Zutarians are against that ship. Of course I'm only speaking for myself. I've thought of a way to poll it for a more honest result, but I don't want to put all the work into posting it just to have it deleted as a duplicate, even though it would actually be a companion rather than a copy. Internet polls are only for having the fun of voting for or against things anyway.

That's why I wrote 'Kataang = Maiko more than likely' meaning votingwise. It was just a guess going on how many Kataangers I noticed have new Maiko sigs and icons.

This is a poll! Debate is a given. Everyone just takes it too personally. To me, it's just a tv show - I leave the computer screen and take nothing from these fora with me, but apparently I'm in the minority when it comes to that.
