LB: This combines with my @reply thoughts about cultural appropriation in some complex way that I can't quite parse right now. Good good thread.

@indi I feel like I'll worry about religious appropriation when I can google search my religion's primary gods and the first 500 results aren't people's fucked up fetishization of comic book characters.

@indi *twitching* loki is your compulsively abusive relative no one has the guts to kick out of thanksgiving

@Fuego I think there's a legitimate line of thought involved with focusng on the more modern Loki-types as distinct entities, but at that point I find myself worrying a bit even there about Asshole Loki getting a hold in folks via... legacy code, for lack of a better word.

@indi I have some Thoughts on this based on personal experience, but I'm really tired so I'm not going into it now, but if you're interested let me know and I'll come back to it later. it's something I've thought about a lot, specifically in the context of the thing I call "my head-Loki."
