Loki did not queerbait. A bisexual person ending up with someone of the opposite gender isn’t queerbaiting. Some of you just ran with a rumor a journalist made up to get clicks and it worked. There wasn’t the slightest hint that Loki and Mobius would be a thing in the show or from the producers. Just because Loki does not present the way you want doesn’t mean you were cheated out of anything.
I honestly don’t see the appeal of Lokius either. There was no romantic chemistry between them at all. Zip. Zero. Nada. They literally breathed the same oxygen for .02 seconds and people were ready to ship them. They have better chemistry as a buddy-cop duo.
I personally don’t care who you ship, I’m just tired of people using the word “queerbaiting” when their ship doesn’t become canon.

Also, one last thing, this whole “selfcest” thing literally boils down two things, one being what I said already above and two being misogyny. The hate that Sylvie is receiving is because a female presenting character is “getting in the way” of your mlm ship. “Selfcest” wouldn’t be a problem if Loki kissed a male variant of himself. This fandom would’ve been rejoicing it and completely change their tune about how they feel about the finale. Which to be honest, the Loki finale was the best one out of WandaVision and Falcon and The Winter Soldier.
I should also state that “selfcest” is not real and never will be. It’s fictional. And to try to compare it to incest, which is very real and very harmful is insulting.
Lastly, for the love of god, if you don’t like the ship just say that. Some of you are just trying to find something that makes you upset so you can call Sylki “problematic”. Please stop with the moral panic, “selfcest” is not a concept that can be applied to real life.
