#being bi shouldn't be used as synonymous with gay that's two different labels ya got there mate

[worstloki]

okay yes I had this thought too because as much as I want loki to be a very gnc and sex-positive icon I feel like so much of his femme characterization is the result of gay fetishizing, especially from straight fans who migrated to marvel from fandoms with more yaoi and BL

Also! Loki being bi/pan is often simplified to being gay and then only the gay part is addressed too? I know this is common with people going “oh you’re bi so you can date *opposite gender*” and “oh so you’re gay” BUT especially in m/m fics it’d be nice to have the sexuality brought in without ulterior motive sometimes 😔

#a fic goes ''loki is gay'' and im like ''ok that's cool what else you got--'' ''his entire personality is sexualizing that fact'' ''no <3'' #it's a shame! #being bi shouldn't be used as synonymous with gay that's two different labels ya got there mate #if it's from the perspective of a guy love interest sure! of course he'd be like 'oh i have a chance' #but for what reason if bi only have gay considered #if gay why make feminized and then treat it bad #hm? #HM?? #same thing with pan I see lots of fics going ''im pan'' ''oh so the horse story--'' #or ''im pansexual'' ''oh so you're into men! called it! could tell from your wrist you were gay'' #im like skkjnhgsdfcghjgfdfhycghvufycgdt #people can write what suits them and they are free to read whatever they wish #I personally can only read a story as crack thenceforth though #a sexuality doesn't have to immediately be sexualised #pls #😭😭😭
