Eh, shipping can justify most anything. It's also probably a little bit of people willing to overlook the nastier aspects of their favorite badass. If a character is sexy and cool, they can be a complete monster and get away with most everything. Being a badass covers a multitude of sins.
Y'know, when you put it that way I sort of wonder how TyLuko would (or would not have) worked out. I once read a post where someone complained that Mai and Ty Lee would have been equally interchangeable as Zuko's S3 girlfriend, but your comments make me wonder. Would Ty Lee have seen Zuko as a form of protection against Azula? And how negatively would she have reacted to her shield dumping her with no warning?
