Bigots in 2011: Heimdall can't be BLACK! The REAL Heimdall is WHITE! Bigots in 2017: Loki can't be QUEER! The REAL Loki is STRAIGHT! Norse mythology, sipping a cocktail with shades on: Heimdall has nine mothers and Loki got knocked up by a stallion, my dudes. We roll with change.
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

2/2 At no point do I think this really affects how I see the character because to me, he's essentially a magical pixie that takes a human form (sort of like Hulkling and Skrulls) when it pleases him and whatever genitals he has are fake so he can be and bang whatever he wants.

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.
