I kindly beg to differ! 

Loki Parallels｜Loki Laufeyson & Judge Ravonna Renslayer & The Variant (Sylvie Laufeydottir / Variant L08529)｜Loki s1ep01 “Glorious Purpose”: “It’s not your story, Mr. Laufeyson. It never was.”｜Loki s1ep02 “The Variant”: “This isn’t about you.”｜

Loki's fans who loved the series - I have a question for you. A hypothetical. Lets say you are talking to someone who is a brand new fan of Loki and only know him from MCU, not comics. You tell them there is a female version of him in comic books called Lady Loki, and their reaction is disguist and they say it terrifiying.

What would your reaction be? You'd probably call them sexist,because the idea that female version of Loki is bad,is sexist. You would block this person, call them toxic, say they dont even know who Loki is. Right? (In better case, which is rare,you'd try to teach them more about Loki. But as I say,that's rare on the internet.)

So. Question comes. Why is a fan who shows disguist over female Loki version considered sexist and not knowing Loki at all, (and we have all seen how fans who didnt want Lady Loki in the upcoming show were attacked and bullied) but if its a character on the show, Loki himself, you laugh at it, even defend it,noone calls writers and director sexist and none of you say creators of the show dont know Loki at all.

Why this hypocracy?

Why is a fan saying female Loki is something bad called sexist,

but this is fine?

[timetroublingtrickster]

not the addressed target audience cause I don´t love(d) the series but I don´t have so much issue with that particular line per se ...  Watching it the first time I didn´t hear it as so much a sexism based disgust, (but perhaps a rewatch would change that, but it was not my first reaction) ..  like in universe for the characters I heard it less as an “oh ewwww that´s awful and bad, icky women ew”(*) and more an “ohh daamn .. that´s got some potential” as in somewhat shuddering reverence for what change of gender given the way the universe is about gender could unlock new mischief potential (perhaps even as a “oh god no, imagine if our trauma had some additional gender based trauma, that's scary”, like “imagine we had to grow up with misogyny on top of everything else” - I know that part is reaching, so totally reaching, and we don´t even see enough about gender roles in asgard in the movies to make any proper statement there, but I think there could be one in it)  So having the in universe Loki´s that canonicaly only know not female Lokis react that way could make some sense in terms of characterization BUT what I hate about it and really drives me up the walls is [(a) you´re telling me Loki never shifted genders more than that tiny Sif bit and never really explored any shape shifting and none of the of the other Lokis didn´t either? Not one of them went “oh I was female last week but currently I´m feeling more masc” ..  aaand even more so]  (b) what the hell are these writers doing? why did they write a heap of different male Loki variants and EVEN A FREAKING ALLIGATOR (**) (assuming it´s a male alligator) AN ANIMAL ....... why did the writers Smurfette principle Loki??!?!?!? 

TlDR: I don´t take so much offense in the “terrifying” but I take a lot of offense in the fact hat they´ve never met a female Loki Variant while knowing a bunch of male and even an animal Variant! The hell kinda nonsene is that?!

(Earliest) Comic Lady Loki has some terrifying aspects tho, (And full disclaimer I don´t really read the comics, I occasionally read about them but for a LL cosplay I did read into these arcs, and what´s usually (preSilvie) referred to as Lady Loki is Loki reincarnated into what was meant to be Sif´s body that alone is terrifying in terms of body horror and consent. Sif’s consciousness is trapped/hidden in a comatose(?) elderly patient, 

(** The alligator is cool though, he can stay, but they gotta do better with the rest.) (* Just putting aside that even a sexist remark from a character could be shown in way that does not have the whole scene be sexist, as in the audience is either blatantly told by the series that the remark is rubbish or the show trusts the audience to have half a brain and understand that, but like that´s another whole can of worms, and given how divided the reactions on Silvie are among the viewers I wouldn´t even know how to start figuring out how she´s like seen or meant to be seen)

You can be whoever, whatever you wanna be, even someone good. I mean, just in case anyone ever told you different. TOM HIDDLESTON as Loki Laufeyson in LOKI (2021, Disney+)

[asipofwineandfandoms-deactivate]

Tom is doing some of his best acting  in this show. Just my opinion.

[timetroublingtrickster]

oh indeed

on a side note: I love that they had him say Hel ^^

things that give me feels and should not be hidden in tags: 

@littlehollyleaf  “and it's apology too  cos obviously Mobius himself was one of those people who told Loki something different when he first arrived at the tva  character development all round also - this parallels cas breaking dean out of the green room in s04 yeah?”

LOKI SERIES Episode 4

[frostbitten-written]

I love how theatrical this scene was.

[timetroublingtrickster]

I am NOT over the set design they chose for this  and I will probably never be 

[rylandsgrace]

[invaderboo]

Ironically Loki admitting he’s a narcissist who craves attention is proof that while the second fact is true, he isn’t actually a narcissist. A true narcissist would NEVER admit to it. 

[timetroublingtrickster]

I totally agree that Loki does not fit a NPD diagnosis,   but as far as I know, that while it is indeed unlikely that someone worried about being narcissistic (as in having the personality disorder) is it, it´s not impossible that people with NPD admit to such things, there are people that have the diagnosis, are in therapy and do talk about it, some can be rather perceptive about the traits that make them someone with NPD but they just don´t think that they are a “bad” thing (like here someone might recognize and admit that they want attention, but of course they do because they are awesome and deserve it and how is it bad to want to be recognized for your own greatness)  And this seems to be quite flawed methodology but there´s also this (x)   But I´m also just reading and learning about NPD.  I really wish that people would just in general make more of a difference between Narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and the garden variety everyday use of “Narcissism” and not conflate them 

and I really kinda did not like that scene at all (with the exception of the visuals)
