This is so ridiculously stupid, it's an indictment of the "creative" artists responsible for it

 

I couldn't believe this article was real, but I'm assured it is.

Marvel Rivals video game is ramping up the LGBTQ+ representation with its fourth game release this month by featuring the sister of Thor, the Asgardian God of Thunder, who is a lesbian with a transgender husband.

The storyline for the game, put out by NetEase Games in collaboration with Marvel Games, follows villain character Doctor Doom who meets his alternate reality self — who is a hero — and that causes a “timestream entanglement” in which heroes and corresponding villains come to fight each other for domination over the universe. It is a first person shooter-styled game first released last year and already has several gay characters introduced.

The new release is reportedly set to add the character Vanguard Angela (Aldrif Odinsdottir), who is the daughter of Asgard’s God King, Odin. That makes her the sister of popular Marvel comic book hero, Thor, God of Thunder.

In the comics, the character, Angela, is married to a male character named Sera who was later written as having “transitioned” to  female in the comics.

How does this fit the Norse canon in any way, shape or form?  (Although, I suppose if Loki could turn himself into a horse and bear a foal, a lesbian goddess is far from impossible.  I draw the line at a transgender husband, though.  Even Odin couldn't turn his famously blind eye to that!)

Of course, if gay and/or homosexual gods are to become a thing, it'll give new meaning to the name of their home.  Perhaps "Asgard" should be re-spelled with a second "S" in the first syllable, and a "U" in the second?
