marvel really took the most queercoded charcter in the mcu (WHO IS CANNONICALLY QUEER IN THE COMICS) amd said “hey! were making a show about him! hes going to be genderfluid!!! and bi!!! looks how progressive were being!!” and then make a female version of him from a different timeline, and one line comfirming that hes bi.
now you may be wondering, why did they do that? if they didnt actually care about it then why did they make him queer? (not that people are queer for any specific reason, marvel just has a reason for everything) well, you notice how marvel said that loki was queer before the show came out? that’s because they wanted people to go “oh look! the mcus first explicitly queer character! i want to watch that show!” yknow what that is? literal queerbating. claiming that a character is queer to gain an audience, then not actually acting on it.
now time for me to explain the things from loki’s past (and present i suppose, but the tva is timeless) that i initially read as queercoding because i relate to it for gay reasons.
he flirted with jeff goldblum simply for the fact that he is jeff goldblum
growing up hearing about this horrible thing that everyone says is bad, and then finding out that you are that thing as a teenager
having problems with trusting people because every time you trust someone you lose them, and the only exception to this so far is the people youve met who are like you
i was going to continue that list but i lost my train of thought so yeah, loki is not a cishet man, no way in fuck
