My mother was adopted into a different part of the family and she thought it was funny. The author of the article sounds very controlling in wanting people to take her stance on the matter.
It's not as if he said 'He's adopted, that's why he is evil, twisted and a murdering psychopath'. It was a just a comment to offset the mild embarrassment in first supporting Loki, then finding out what he had done. That's all.
If there is a bit of an extremist TDKR feeling behind the article or after when some of them find it that is just pathetic.
I got the impression, not only from the main article but from the reader comments following, that a number of adoptees may have unresolved issues about being adopted. Are most adoptees like this? I have no idea. But at least for some, perhaps the question, "Why didn't my birth parents want me?" may be a painful wound which lingers throughout one's life.
Again, I'm guessing. This is a demographic with which I have virtually no experience.
Adopted people sure are touchy. First that, now this.
For the record though, they are adopted and thats terrible.

The reason the joke pisses me off is that it implies that all people that kill a hundred people in two days are adopted.I am not adopted Avengers, and I find it very offensive that you would suggest such a thing.
I know exactly how you feel. I'm a clown, and still very peed off at how TDK represented my people as being psychotic serial killers.
I would never punch a woman...but after reading that I wanted to hit her so hard, and the people who agreed with her. The adoption line was funny, I laughed...my friends laughed...the audience laughed, her husband is clearly whipped. She a long with the people who agreed with her should be put in a rocket on a one way trip to the sun.

I wonder if the blogger is aware of this.
