Pretending the Vikings/Norse/Whatever were some pinnacle of ancient tolerance is just as wrong as pretending they followed practices that map 1-to-1 on modern bigotry...

I'm not pretending any of that... nor I am implying they are an example of morality about anything... All I am saying is that, what we now call "gender fluidity" or simply anything in the "LGBTQ+" spectrum does not seem to be, in and of itself, a "sin" or a morally reprehensible act in the Nordic mythology.

Also, Loki wasn't really a villain... he was more the "anti hero" type... From all the Nordic mythology I have read (I just like it, I'm not a scholar) the attitude towards him always seemed to be "Damn it Loki, we could get along if you stop being an asshole for a day"... not "I shall vanquish Loki and end his evil ways"
