When it's an allegory for minorities who are born with things they can't help? Yes, yes I can. Because it tells me that if someone made a good enough "argument" you would go for it in real life because the entire series is based on the idea that no one should have to hide who they are, nor should the be discriminated against for something out of their control.

Hell no I wouldn't go for it in real life! but minorities DO NOT HAVE GUNS FOR HANDS THAT THEY CANNOT CONTROL.

Skin color doesn't inherently harm someone though. That's society and stereotypes. A person who can set things on fire at will? That is actually dangerous.

The fact of the matter is if all Arabs were born with the power to blow up buildings with nothing but their own bodies, the world would fear then and we would be right to.

I know it's an allegory. But in all honestly it's not a very good allegory if you think about it this in depth!

That's the problem with Superheroes as Allegory. Superheroes themselves fall to bits if you think about them for more than a minute, so the attempts to build allegories for them do as well.

Unless you're Alan Moore, where that's kinda the point.

I feel this way about the vampires on True Blood as well. The show (sometimes, it's inconsistent in this as all things) likes to push anti-vamp discrimination as parallel to real world sexism and racism, but when the show then goes and has literally every single vampire character kill at least one person over the course of the series, you start to think maybe regular humans have a very valid reason to fear them.

In the real world, we have metal detectors, strip searches, concealed carry permits, and all sorts of other things to make sure that people aren't carrying weapons without permission or in settings where they shouldn't have weapons. If people existed who would be carrying weapons even after all these other measure were filled, they should be registered. It's not a difficult concept, come on.

[(Anonymous)]

This exactly.

To be fair, if we're taking the real world route, mutant and non-mutant ought to be registered after an offense is committed, not before.
