Why do people think suggesting violence against Loki’s family is funny?

I honestly do not know. What I do know is that a good bit of the folks who would even suggest these things know next to nothing about Loki other than the fact that he’s the “Worldbreaker” and a liar <insert all the bad things people think Loki is here and cover it with the Plague>. They don’t the time to read much about him let alone actually get to know him—or his family. 
His family literally never did anything wrong. Like, ever. ((Correct me if I am wrong, please.)) They were pretty much judged as “monsters”, and that’s how people still view them. (As for Sigyn, the fact that she chose his side is apparently enough to warrant the same hatred and suspicion that Loki is looked at with. I really don’t get it.)
How unfortunate these mean people will probably never get to know how awesome he and his family really are.

Heh. I don’t know that “literally never did anything wrong” is actually accurate, but that depends on your reading of the myths and whether or not you take them literally.

I’m not an apologist for Loki, nor His children. He is much more than the Worldbreaker, or any mud that may be slung at Him, but He’s also not a being of pure light and all of that bullshit. No god really is, in my estimation.

That being said, it specifically bothers me when violence is suggested towards Narfi/Nari, Váli and Sigyn. These are the members of Loki’s family that you can absolutely argue “literally did nothing”. And it was something I saw in reference to them that really upset me this morning because it was such a pointless and disruptive comment.
