i'm not being willfully obtuse, I get that it's a major moral element of her backstory. I just...like having different words to refer to specific different story tropes because I think they're useful

if that's being semantics police, then okay

(Although, to continue Being Semantics Police, I tend to associate 'X police' with more vitriol than i feel about this)

you're right that her development didn't get the focus of the film, and maybe that does contribute to how people perceive her. For me, that development was well telegraphed enough and so cookie-cutter hero standard that it felt easy for me to paste in? but it makes sense that some people would respond differently

and she definitely is still fucked up by her experiences (see: I'm definitely still drinking) but I see her story role now as being pretty Traditionally Heroic. Although I also associate antiheroes in general with a much more...cynical tone for the work overall, which might be why it's so jarring for me to hear her called that, so maybe that's something I should look into.

(Sidebar for the record: man, I have no IDEA what I'd call loki as of this movie, but definitely agree that hero isn't it)
