I enjoyed Korra a lot, but my trick was reframing the entire show in my mind as Korra being an accidental villain who blocked any chance for social change because she was too ignorant and bullheaded to understand the situation.

Like it's some kind of Bad Ending where the avatar reincarnates as a gamer.

Finally somebody who managed to put my "vibes" from watching that show into a succinct statement.

Aang didn't want to be the hero but it was forced on him. Korra was chomping at the bit to be the Avatar, right? Finally gets it, and is overwhelmed by suddenly being solely responsible for fixing things that are way beyond her control and understanding. Then Forrest Gumps her way through mistake after mistake for the rest of the series...

I wanted to like Korra, I really did. But seeing Aang turned into the Statue of Liberty in front of a colonized settlement turned international territory, the spirit lore transformed into oriental-themed christianity and Toph of all people talking about the antagonists having good points but being too radical was too much doodoo from the trashcan of ideology for me to handle.
