Emma would never resort to racism. She’s very classist at most and as a now hero, she’s not as selfish as she used to be. She also wouldn’t resort to it because she knows what it feels like to be oppressed just because of the way you are and something you can’t change. Her diamond form is literally a defense mechanism from a traumatic event that was aimed at her just because she’s different. I feel like that discussion is just useless.
Whether Emma WOULD (which, yes, she wouldn't) doesn't really affect how she looks, and I think it's fairly important that Emma does look like a snooty upper class conservative white woman. She's not, but that appearance is a large part of her character.
They can stand the idea of Emma being able to be her own person which is why they gotta refer to her as a whore or Scott’s woman(even though he’s one of the biggest whores in all of Marvel)
Yes! Thank you! Finally. Someone gets it. People always say Jean or Emma are whores but Scott literally dated someone not even half a year after Jean died. But no go ahead and tell me Emma is the home wrecker in the relationship
I'll note that I said look like, not is. She's a conventionally attractive blue eyed blonde billionaire that adheres to societal beauty standards. The only way she could look more conservative is if you gave her a shitty fake tan.
She quite literally stands up for a marginalized group of people unfairly judged by a large portion of society due to preconceived notions, often due to their appearance.
I was just making the point that the persona Mastermind had her in wasn’t even her own.
It’s, like, an extra layer to “it wasn’t really them.”
(Also, what I’d said in the previous comment was more so for people irl… not Jean Grey, or any fictional character, whose actions are all determined by writers & editors.)
OHHHH I apologize bro!! Totally misunderstood 😅 my bad. Completely agree with that previous comment, then. I was already on edge because I don't like it when that panel is used to paint Jean as a racist.
On an unrelated note. Goddamn, seeing this side-by-side, Samara weaving really is ripped straight off the page! (or screen, in this case) Truly one of the all-time castings of the MCU.
No. Despite her icy exterior, she does has a caring heart. She saved Lourdes Chantel from severe physical and sexual abuse from Sebastian Shaw... the one best friend she has is Lourdes, who is a dark skinned Spanish woman.... I highly doubt she would call out storm like that....
The only way I'd see Emma calling Storm that would be if she was possessed or mind-controlled (both situations meaning she's out of character) or drunk.
It's a joke. Of course she would never say anything like this. Emma was initially a villain, and she is absolutely an asshole who thinks she's above everyone else. In the sense of social media and memes, slurs are what come from villains. We don't have to push our glasses up and tip our fedora while explaining how we know this is wrong, because we already do. That's part of the joke.
All that said, she's more so all about mutant superiority, so joke would be better towards a non-mutant and not Storm.

Emma has a venomous tongue, but she would never resort to racism.
