Well that sounds far less fun for me

Not dumb, just uncultured

Bold of her to assume I'm not already

Also: "we toned him down a lot" (so you "idiots" oughta shut up and swallow what we give you to swallow) is kind of a disrespectful spin to put on what is, to a great many people, still intended to be a representation of a deity they worship.
.
Just because being gay is not as extreme as literally fucking a horse doesn't actually
1) make the guy gay by default or
2) automatically mean people have to accept Marvel's latest interpretation as being remotely correct or relevant.
.
An interpretation which, by and large, does not seem to accurately represent the deity (or the character, weirdly enough from what I've seen, and what I've heard from some of the extremely hardcore comic book fans Marvel now continues to try and wipe their asses with).
.
It makes as much sense as Marvel coming out tomorrow and saying "well, Jesus turned water to wine once, so he's clearly an alcoholic" and then saying people are idiots for having any kind of issue with that logic or representation

I'm also not clear how Loki gave birth. If he stayed as a horse or shapeshifted or what went on there. Maybe he was species fluid
.
I do feel like it's relevant at this point, though, to mention that Loki's response to being impregnated was to, yes, give birth. But to a shaman spider-horse. A child he then GAVE AWAY.
.
The story is a big mess, and an excruciatingly bad example toward anything beyond the
occasional absolute insanity of Norse gods, and how Loki is so fucking commited to being a trickster he will literally fuck and be impregnated by an animal as a means to an end

It's possible he could have tried alternative methods as well I think.
.
But given the deal the gods had made was to allow a man to build walls with the help of his stallion, it seems likely (speculation on my part) anything doing physical harm or direct diversion to the stallion would probably have been grounds for some sort of repercussions.
.
Disguised as a mare in heat, however, Loki was doing what he did best: tricking people.
.
So long as the man building the wall never realized Loki was the mare, he would have no one but his stallion to blame for being horny. The stallion would be guaranteed to be distracted, Loki would be more or less home free, and the builder would be none the wiser

I wanna get closer to you
But how am I 'sposed to get through?
Keep putting out fires
But the flames get higher
I gotta stop listenin' to you
I'm gonna get hurt if I do
I'm getting so tired of preaching to the choir
.
I said goodbye, and I wished you well
But you kept dragging me back to hell
I'll stick around, but I know it's gonna be
The end of me
.
I wanna get closer to you
But how am I supposed to get through?
Keep putting out fires
But the flames get higher
I gotta stop listenin' to you
I'm gonna get hurt if I do
I'm getting so tired of preaching to the choir
.
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawlin' out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around, but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

Well, I see you walking down a dead-end street
Like a black cat following a limousine
A brand new problem everytime we meet
But the same old reason that the grass ain't green
.
So self-entitled and your talk is cheap
Leave a path of destruction everytime you speak
You burned your bridges, but I just won't leave
'Cause I can't help caring about a friend in need
.
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawlin' out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around, but I know it's gonna be
The end of me
.
When I see you making all the same mistakes
Try to help, but you throw it back into my face
You quit your job, say your life's so hard
But you can't pay for dinner with a victim card
.
A subtle as a wrecking ball
If you stole my keys you'd crash my car, then
Win the lottery, and still complain
We all know somebody that we just can't change
.
You dragged me down to a hole so deep
I'm crawlin' out on my hands and knees
I'd stick around, but I know it's gonna be
The end of me

From what little I've read of Norse mythology (which admittedly is not the majority of it, so people can feel free to correct it) Loki also does not seem to shapeshift for recreational or romantic sex/relationships. He does it to manipulate those around him.
.
Which, by all means, count that as genderqueer if you want -- it just seems an extremely toxic representation to base it off of lol

Uhhh Loki didn't turn into a horse because he was hot for horse dick (which is a damn weird stance to take - and also implies he'd have a bestiality kink by that logic).
.
He turned into a horse because he had fucked up and convinced all the gods to agree to a deal that was NOT going in their favour - and they were all (including Loki's father) pretty pissed off, as it was going to cost them Freya, as well as the sun and the moon.
.
He turned into a mare exclusively because that was the most effective form of manipulation to distract the stallion that would cost the gods to lose the bet. And, as Loki tended to do (usually under threat), he commited to the distraction and manipulation fully until he got his way
.
.

Why not both?

I sense competition

Whatever keeps you off the balcony, big guys

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue

Surely you can't be serious

Christians?

I mean, if you have to kill them to survive then obviously that's what you have to do. Just like any human that attacks you. Never debated that
.
But chances are you wouldn't have to kill all 20 necessarily

Sounds like someone took a long sit on a sharp stick this morning
