Yes, ladies and gentlenerds, that is a prompt on norsekink with a trigger warning for VILLAIN LOKI.

Trigger warning. Must I repeat it? There is someone out there warning for Villain Loki, because presumably somebody else might be triggered by this concept! What freaking movie did these people see? Who out there is having an attack of the vapors over the idea that Loki might be a villain?

Woobie Loki who tried to commit genocide? Woobie Loki who implictly threatened to do something Not Nice to Jane Foster? Woobie Loki who lied to his brother about their father being dead? Woobie Loki who is invading the earth realm in the next movie?

THAT Loki? You mean to tell me he's the bad guy?! Perish the thought! My world is crumbling around me at this revelation! All I have lived for is lies! Oh, the humanity! Oh, the insanity!

What madness is this! Odin have mercy on us all!

I really hate how people dilute what a trigger warning is. What's sad is that that's not the worst I've seen

I've seen someone trigger warn for spoilers.

The conflation of 'trigger' with 'squick' was bad enough, but this really takes the cake!

After all my years in fandom, I keep thinking I've seen every last pathetic, pandering, hypocritical, shrill, wankmongering, bullying, plagiarizing, cultlike, elitist, deluded, lying, callous piece of bullshit there is, but oh no, fandom always digs up another nugget to surprise me with!

...Right. While we all are entitled to our own interpretations of a character's motivations and such, when those interpretations essentially rewrite the source, there's something a little wrong there.

Did you just imply that the poor innocent Loki was *evil*? I can't bare such a thing; I'm going to have a PTSD attack from it. PTSD from remember the time that I committed acts of genocide and was accused of being evil...

Well that's ok so long as the creatures you tried to wipe off the face of their own planet were, like, not cute!
