Copy/Pasta Secret 2

[(Anonymous)]

I wholeheartedly agree!! It gives me the ick to compare inherently dangerous mutants to RL marginalized people. So many of the mutants are a threat to everyone but take steps to inhibit their mutations because it’s the “right” thing to do. That means that blacks and gays are inherently dangerous to the rest of society unless they choose not to be. Fucking yikes!

I vaguely remember N.K. Jemisin having an essay where she said one of her series was a rebuttal to this argument. The characters who’re metaphors for black people have powers that make them “dangerous,” and she tries to make the point that discrimination against them is wrong anyway. (I never read the series.)

That is an interesting take.

The distinct difference in Marvel comics, though, was that people were scared of mutants in particular. Not superheroes. Spider-Man is cool! We love the Fantastic Four! The Avengers will come save us! But those nasty freaky mutants - who could be anybody or even come from your own family - are the ones we are right to hate. Even mutants who were Avengers (Quicksilver, Scarlet Witch, Beast) got this at times.

tl;dr mutants are a good metaphor for RL marginalised people but only in their own universe
