why is it biphobic to have loki as pan? he’s pan in the myths?
It’s biphobic to write and say Loki is pan when multiple writers and those at marvel have confirmed Loki to be Bisexual. Even at one point, Loki’s actor had been told that Loki was canon bi in the comics while at a Dark World carpet premier (2014). He only said Loki was Pan years later while on a comic con (around 2018, after Lee’s mess) interview with lizzie Olsen (and you should know by now never to listen to an actor when it comes to what they know about the comic character). Loki has been bisexual and genderfluid for almost ten years and was officially confirmed in 2013/2014 by both of the writers of young avengers and agent of Asgard. And now recently confirmed once again by the writers of the Loki (2021) tv series.

However, the myths can be interpreted by everyone differently. I wouldn’t put a label on Loki personally because one; they use pansexual for him because in one myth he had sex with a horse and that, to me, just feels panphobic (however I would rather you listen to a pansexual person speak on this issue than I because I’m bisexual and their voice should be put before my own). And secondly; those labels did not exist back then. Those labels came from post colonialization so I just wouldn’t really use it because it was more of a love whoever you love back then, regardless of gender. If you think myth!Loki is Bi, then he’s bi. If you think myth!Loki is pan, then he’s pan.
Each person has their own interpretation of mythical Loki but that is neither here nor there when it comes to comic/mcu Loki. The two beings are different characters entirely and should be treated as such. In comic canon Loki is Bi and erasing that or changing his sexuality is in fact bisexual erasure which is biphobic. The only reason people believe Loki to be pan stems from a biphobic (and I learned a little bit ago that she is also transphobic), author Mackenzi Lee. She wrote a YA novel based on comic Loki and while not canon to marvel’s stories of Loki, she did state that this is in fact comic Loki so she did disregard his sexuality and furthered bi erasure.
I hope this explains everything for you and yeah, Loki is canonically bisexual for marvel. Have a good day!
