Loki fans don’t dislike Ragnarok!Loki because he’s heroic, mischievous, charming, etc.
Loki fans dislike Ragnarok!Loki because Ragnarok mocks and/or ignores Loki’s depth, character arc and development, and mental health issues.
Fuck it, let’s get a little too personal, shall we? Warning: what comes under the cut is heavy shit.
Yes, thank you! I am so tired of seeing statements as “how can you dislile Ragnarok!Loki if he is so mischievous/witty/funny and overcomes his traumas all of a sudden because Thor specifically told him to and becomes happy instead of miserable probably because he realised that being happy is better then being miserable. And also his perfect brother approves, that’s what really matters, right?” Yep, that’s all real reasons how people are improving their mental state in real life, not the opposite, nope.
Also such statements show that these people never really read why some of us dislike TR and just made up reasons we don’t like it themselves and now are accusing us that we are having wrong reasons that are not even our reasons asdsgahfgd
Yes, this! It took me 28 years to get a proper diagnosis as proof that I have an innate neurological disability and am not lazy or difficult for the heck of it. The attitude towards people with neurological or emotional trauma is despicable and seeing it so blatantly displayed in a movie is fucking hurtful. We don’t deserve respect in “normal” people’s eyes, do we? It’s perfectly fine to make fun of us and put us down because we can’t function the way people are supposed to.
As for “Loki stan”, that’s a title I’d wear with pride.
This bigotry by certain Thor: Ragnarok fans matches well with the callous attitude of TW, CH and the writers of the movie. Mental health issues and trauma are made fun of in the form of immature humor.
It’s a typical case of where a person hurts you and then calls you stupid for reacting negatively to it, as it was supposed to be a joke.
The sheer level of the dismissal and rudeness is baffling. Saying things like-
“You’re not fun at all!”
“You just hate on everything!”
“Why take a movie seriously? It’s not real life!”
“You just want his dick, that’s all!”
It reflects how TW sees the character of Loki and his fandom. It’s why that scene with the play is like a direct slap to those people who dared to identify with Loki and his pain, who dared to like a character which was crafted with care and love by its actor.
Of course these fans don’t get it. They’re too far up TW’s ass (yes, I’m taking this argument now, as us Loki fans are reduced to being thirsty for his dick). Character nuances are lost on them, including Thor’s. They’re wooed by the colours and action sequences, which btw are more the result of a dedicated Marvel team, rather than TW’s brainchild.
Also, as a POC living in a country ravaged by colonialism, I feel like cutting those bitches who say that we’re only targeting TW because he’s a brown guy. Incompetence and arrogance is what I hate, not the bloody skin colour.
/Rant over.
