Having a daughter doesn’t preclude queerness, and given that human beings are the ones constructing and reading the stories about immortal shapeshifters, I feel like we’re within our rights to apply whatever human descriptive terms we like to their preferences.

I mean, if you want to do it that much, I won't stop you, but thinking about it in universe it doesn't really make sense. As for the daughter situation, no it doesn't. It's just he used to be straight, then a new writer made him bisexual, that's how some fans see it, I think.

If you think it makes less sense to describe an immortal shapeshifter as queer than to write an immortal shapeshifter in the first place, then I don’t know what to tell you except that the current writer, the one copping abuse, isn’t *making* him queer; the comics already did.

I'm saying if we want to go all in on 'go by what the universe goes by' then the definition of Loki by mortal sexuality is pointless. If we're going to go by defining it via out of world writing, this character was just turned queer recently, to some people's dislike. 1/2

So what you’re saying is that words like “queer” can’t POSSIBLY exist in-universe or be used externally to describe the characters by readers looking for queer rep in those stories. But if you’re COMPLAINING about queerness, then sure, the word applies. Riiiiight.

I didn't say that. You did. But now you're trying to paint aggression and derision where it doesn't exist. There are plenty of gay characters in Marvel. Ice Man had that big reveal. Deadpool is pretty openly omnisexual. I just don't agree about shape shifters.

Dude. I’m genderqueer and bisexual. And what you’re saying, right now, is that you think having a character being gendefluid in some respect means they can’t be queer along other axes. And my queerass self begs STRONGLY to differ.

I'm saying that this character is in a different level of cosmic existence than you, and that you're current biological, psychological and emotional level is not the same because it's an ethereal super being that can literally turn into a worm and fuck other worms.

What you’re saying is that applying magic, fictional dimensions to an otherwise real concept means we can’t talk about that concept using real terms, even though the link between them is obvious. Which is bullshit.

I said you totally can do that, I'm just saying I don't think it applies in universe. I'm arguing with magic in a scenario that you could never actually encounter because there exists no parallel to this in reality.

The universe in which the story is set is still a version of our own, just with magic added. Queerness and it’s language still exist there, just like iPhones exist alongside magic lasers. You honestly think nobody human in that universe can describe Loki as queer?
