        Add in heavy elements of anti-racisim and you have a more accurate picture.

        Mutants were the marginalized, of every stripe.

        After all, the early 60s we’re the height of the civil rights movement. The human enemies in the comics were saying shit that was lifted whole cloth from what white supremacists were saying in the US.

              I took a survey recently that asked if I thought people were too sensitive about things other people say and I couldn’t bring myself to say disagree completely, because so many people are so sensitive about the idea of someone else being hurt by something

          I may have accidentally implied that all mutants are just a stand-in for gay people, which the scene in question very much IS about gay people since no one talks like that about a disability. But at least I didn’t just brush them off as just crying victim.
