These people insisting that when Loki let go at…”

@kingloptr usually when I see it I get the sense that’s it’s exactly the opposite of the motivation you describe in your tags. I think it’s people who really don’t like Loki, who see him as nothing but an evil opportunistic villain, and deny that he has ever experienced any real suffering that calls for our sympathy.

True, there’s that too! I sort of forgot about them I guess; I don’t see people who dislike Loki as often as I’m in the other end of spectrum with the stans ~

I just keep thinking of when I see the ‘Loki would neeever do that/let that happen’ types of headcanons inspired by more idealistic fanon versions of him?

Oh, that’s weird. Where I hang out, I seem to run into the haters more often than the stans. Or maybe I just ignore the stans because I know there’s nothing to be done about them? It seems that people who have joined the Thor fandom post-Ragnarok have bought into its uncharitable retcon of Loki’s character, and that annoys the crap out of me.
