#parentified thor discourse

Salty Take

My hot take is that I think "Thor was parentified" HCs don't make sense. He's royalty? With servants and such? He doesn't cook or clean for Loki.

Also, if you are going to argue about that Thor trusted Loki so much therefore nearly starting a war in Jotunheim was not his fault and it's all on scheming Loki". That sounds A LOT like Loki had to clean up his messes. And speaks to the opposite of "parentification" and being the more sheltered of the two.

Also, the claim that he has "eldest daughter syndrome" when in cannon he's an "eldest son" has the same vibes as those people that claim Tony Stark/Bucky/Loki/etc is "female-coded."

As if society had the exact same expectations for an "eldest daughter" and "eldest son", and as if "eldest son" wasn't historically the most privileged familial position. If you're going to use "eldest daughter syndrome" use it on Hela.

And also, it reeks of those people that think younger siblings are privileged and the oppressors of older siblings.
