Thanks for this!

From the reactions I'm getting for daring to say that I dislike the metaphor you'd think I'd proposed murdering all the mutants in the franchise, rather than simply saying tat the metaphor is broken and I dislike it. (And I actually, literally did get accused of that further down thread.)

My one consolation is that I originally opted not to respond while logged in. Finding most of these replies in my in box would've irritated me.

Yeah, I saw that comment, it was priceless. I honestly don't get where this level of defensiveness is coming from. X-Men has its better moments, especially with the few appearances by powerless mutants like the Morlocks, but mostly its metaphor is hilariously weak, like every other story that gives minorities dangerous powers.
