stealing this image from angst-wizard’s reply to thorduna because i don’t wanna invoke the wrath of the majority of this fandom and write unsolicited criticism on other people’s posts

b) THOR LITERALLY LEAVES LOKI ALONE AND INCAPACITATED IN THE HANGAR WHERE LOKI CAN BE FOUND AND EXECUTED oh my god!!!!

it was punishment. not a cute brotherly therapy session. 

“People I can’t understand.” Ha!

People you have decided are wrong and do not want to understand, so you make dismissive memes.

If you want to understand, I will explain it. Again. This is not merely a tough love moment, and even if it were, it’s deeply troubling that Loki, a character coded to be mentally, is fixed by that. By being abandoned, in pain (or mild discomfort, if you prefer), unable to move. Because that would not fix a mentally ill person. It solves none of Loki’s fundamental issues and grievances. Because Loki’s problem wasn’t that people were giving him too much attention and he needed to be shown that the world didn’t revolve around him. It wasn’t that he just needed to grow up and get over himself. That interpretation of Loki’s issues is deeply upsetting, because it’s exactly the sort of bullshit I’ve heard growing up neurodivergent and mentally ill. 

It makes me wonder whether certain persons have read or seen this post or this informative reblog thereof, both by writer-bloggers that certain persons supposedly like and respect (at least to my knowledge). Perhaps those opinions are just dismissed as an eccentricity of otherwise good writers whose long tenure in the fandom grants them immunity from excommunication.
