Look at them both as kids.
You're shipping them??? These two people.
very obviously the same person.
But one of them has bleached hair as an adult so they can't possibly have the same dna. Ok. Yeah no ok I get it. Sure. Yeah. Yeah ok. And Marvel stripping Sylvie of every ounce of personality for the last couple episodes was fine too then. That wasn't a tactic to make them seem less similar. Yeah. I see. But I'm almost 100% positive that if people started shipping Loki or Sylvie with any other Loki variant, y'all would go ballistic. It feels wrong, right?
This isn't me saying it's the shippers fault, it's me saying that Marvel has made a huge mistake in making their relationship romantic. Not only does it cheapen the story, but it completely invalidates some of Loki's best character development. It strays completely away from the writer's original intentions and therefore - even apart from the selfcest - just is so out of place and I would even say inappropriate. I just can't believe that marvel is ok showing a selfcest couple in mainstream tv, but not a mlm/wlw couple. The way they constantly erase queer characters is getting to the point where I'm not even surprised anymore. I'm tired. Tired of every single billionaire company using queerbaiting and erasure, and whitewashing every show and movie they produce to cater to the rich, white, cishet, privaleged suburban assholes, while calling us delusional. So many people see themselves in Loki, me included. And don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved the show, but I am sick of this blatant phobia.
You can disagree, argue, even threaten me, but it won't change the fact that this is just another tally mark on the wall of Marvel's representation screw-ups.
