What Heroes Do: Queer-Coding, Slut-Shaming, and Heroism on a Trash Planet

A meta essay on Thor: Ragnarok

A/N: Whew. So we’ve been working on this massive essay for a while, and we’re glad to finally be able to share it. If you’re here for fic, my apologies. This time it’s some meta, and we're posting here mainly because it has to be broken across like five tumblr posts. (Though if you'd rather read it over there, be our guest: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, as well as a note about why we wrote this thing.)We are grateful to Schaudwen and both Alexes for their input.And thank you for reading!
