I really do not understand why some fans take it upon themselves to lecture other fans about what they should and shouldn’t like.

Like, if you don’t like woobie!Loki, okay fine, don’t read it. There’s plenty of other fic out there for you. Do you think lecturing the fans who like woobie!Loki is going to change their minds? People like what makes them happy. It’s fandom; it’s for fun. They’re not hurting anyone. Leave them alone.

Sure, I will admit that woobie!Loki is somewhat of an extrapolation from canon. So is, say, Steve Rogers having Tony Stark’s baby, but I don’t see the same level of OMG-YOU’RE-DOING-IT-WRONG outrage directed there, at least from within the female-dominated side of fandom.

It’s weird how we are so willing to defend “You kink is not my kink, but your kink is okay” when the kink is sexual, but when it’s narrative, suddenly all bets are off.
