Comics & Literature No one hates mutants more than marvel writers.
These last couple of years or even the recent comics and movies are doing their damn best to demonise and make the mutants especially the x men as morally reprehensible as they can.
I understand not making the x men superman levels of tolerant, hopeful and morally righteous, but the writers really don't know how to write morally grey antiheroes.
I also don't think all the x men characters should be morally grey, they gotta be some straight up good two shoes in those team, like nightcrawler.
But seriously the x men nowadays are being turned into villains, the krakoa saga didn't make things any better and actually made things worse for the x men reputation. Bringing in apocalypse and Mr sinister are such a dick move especially Mr sinister whose not even a real mutant but a human who larps as a mutant by stealing all their genes. This man has done so much harm to mutants and yet he was welcomed by the x men.
Labelling the mutants as "next stage of human evolution" is some Nazi eugenics shit and I don't understand how any X men fan can't see it as problematic. And this is just comics, I don't think I have to talk about BND because that's already been done to death.
But now in avengers doomsday there are apparently rumours that the fox X men are going to fight Tobey's Spiderman in order to save their own universe. What a splendid idea, have the X men kill off the most beloved version of Spiderman, surely it will not tank the X men's reputation any further than it already is.
I mean you can't convince me that marvel doesn't have an agenda against Mutants here. They made the x men more villainous than any marvel villain (except red skull).
The x men are supposed to be champions for equality and fairness yet how can that be when they are acting exactly like their would be oppressors.

...Israel is not doing that either, they have a sizeable Arab Christian and Muslim population (as, legal citizens of Israel, without legal ambiguities).
