If someone started to hint at me having a liking for other men sexually/romantically by winking and whispering like it’s dirty secret, I flat out wouldn’t tell them, I will walk away from the situation. I don’t know about your opinion on it but to me that scene was just bad.

The way Sylvie navigated it just came off as those people who are like: “I’m not homophobic, I love lesbian ——“ …like wtf, they made my sexuality seem like some kind of kink or just something that needs to be whispered like it’s taboo and just a sexual thing.

It’s one of the reasons I hate Sylvie, that scene made her look like those hetero women who fetishise mlm relationships, I don’t care if she’s Bi too, it doesn’t excuse her of being a drooling creep! people think it does but it definitely doesn’t, you can’t feel safe around those women because they could just grab you down there and giggle about it, they are literally just predatory queer pervs who won’t keep their hands to theirselves (doesn’t help that assault against men isn’t taken seriously).

I might just be overreacting but that entire scene just put me off of her character, it came off as very predatory and creepy to me, the way she whisper-asked him about it and then didn’t answer herself makes me overthink things to a high extent.

Oh I despise that scene too

I know I would have never asked another person I just met about it that way, because to me it's pretty natural. There would be no weird gestures, I wouldn't whisper it or act like the other person being with someone of their same gender is "cheeky" or "quirky". I would have asked it the way he asked her.

Although to be quite honest I was told recently that perhaps Sylvie asking about it that way could be a sign of internalized homophobia and while I don't think they did a good enough job of portraying that in the series, we don't know how Asgard handled these things. With that said I actively refuse to believe Asgard would be homophobic, that shit is human-made and most of it comes from religion so there's no way in my headcanon Asgard would fall to that.

Then there's also the fact that as if the question wasn't bad enough the rest of the chat only makes things worse:

Nothing real? Why not? It can only be real if it's between them two, two conventionally attractive people, a man and a woman who doesn't confirm nor deny her sexual orientation? It rubs me the wrong way just like I despise that line of "love is mischief" right after Loki comes out as bi, there's nothing mischievous about bisexuality.

I might be seeing things where there's nothing but being bi myself I may not be entirely objective, I'm willing to accept that. It doesn't help that all this happens in ep3 then ep4 has Mobius calling Loki's feelings of love "sick and twisted" and "unnatural", calling him a "narcissist" and it has Sif beating Loki repeatedly in a time loop. It's all too interconnected for it to be a coincidence, you know?

I'd be lying if I didn't say that it felt good to hear Loki confirm he's bi, hell the first thing I thought when he said that was "oh he's like me!" (as childish as that might sound lol) but what they did with it and how they handled it? They ruined it.
