#doesn’t make it any less valid that Loki was in an abusive environment or was lied to or tied his worth to Odin’s opinion of him

where are these 'loki is an uwu perfect good bean who has done nothing wrong ever in his life or made any mistakes ever' posts that the loki antis are constantly talking about? how come only the antis seem to know of the existence of these secret hoards of loki positivity blogs that ignore all his flaws?
I’ve always seen people justify their interpretations, or the motivations, not excuse his actions. I would like to know where these people are too!
#like... Loki attempted to destroy jotunheim but he was also having identity issues and Asgard’s into genocide#so it’s not saying that he didn’t attempt genocide it’s saying that culturally and contextually his actions weren’t as bad#Asgard’s got a different system in place to Earth so that’s cool#space Viking morals and puny mortals morals don’t eclipse up#still genocide but unlike Thor earlier Loki’s also ending a war albeit in a violent frenzy#they switch positions in the narrative (foils?) and having a breakdown gets sympathy points#doesn’t make it any less valid that Loki was in an abusive environment or was lied to or tied his worth to Odin’s opinion of him#so focusing on one side over the other is fine??? there’s no downside#with New York we aren’t told to what extent the mind stone affects him and how much is him acting up against his own plan#because of that people can say Loki was mind controlled and innocent and you know there’s not much saying they’re wrong...#there also isn’t a way to say it’d be wrong to say Loki wasn’t mind controlled just tortured and influenced by close proximity to the stone#I usually lean towards the latter option there myself but like if you want to say Loki’s weak for bending to torture whatever#I actually like the no mind control but there was bargaining and he acted along approach#because then you get to the argument that if Loki hadn’t attacked no one would’ve died#but honestly the kill count is so low compared to other in-universe fights what do you expect me to do#I’m not Steve#i think bringing the avengers together and property damage plus leaving Tony preparing for more aliens is good for 80 lives#considering the lives saved from it for sure#worst case scenario Loki just wanted out and away from the oTher and Thanos and bought time to get hit in the head#which is also a valid interpretation#I don’t say Loki is completely innocent but putting things in context instead of ‘he attempted genocide twice’ is??? good?????#and I’ve always seen others provide reasons when they’re talking about Loki too#it’s not just that he’s completely innocent bc he’s hot (unironic)#so I want to know where these people are too#every ‘anti’ argument I’ve seen involves insulting appearance and saying he killed people and is evil bc he betrayed Thor#or that it’s okay to have the hots for the actor and to accept Loki as the villain he is#I might as well add that I’ve only heard that from people who themselves are interested in that however#so while the argument is valid and people can like what they like am yet to see evidence of Loki being evil#another ​bad thing he did was lie to Thor for no reason and even then it wasn’t a permanent solution and Thor benefitted from it in the end#people tend to forget Loki was good at the start of Thor 1 and we’re given the reason he let the jotuns in too and it’s sound enough
