What are your thoughts on x-men’s recent foray into gender politics? Do you believe it’s uncharacteristic of the comic or was it a natural progression?
For example, Mystique being transgender and Morph being non-binary.

Did you not watch the 2000's X-Men movies that were thinly veiled gay rights discussions?
Or the original comics which were anti-religious persecution comics?
Or the entire history of X-Men being treated like minorities targeted by conservative society and pulpit bangers?
It's literally the core of the comic.
Except for the GOP platform. Being anti gay, anti trans, etc is all wrapped up in it.

See the sections on "Defending Marriage", and "Marriage, Family, and Society"
Exactly.
It crossed my mind to link more, but I knew you wouldn't even be able to handle this one. Best to stick to one at a time, lest you ignore the rest as you often do.
If it doesn't represent the GOP, then they shouldn't have it on their site. They chose to keep it up because that bigotry hasn't changed.

It has not changed.
Something's corrupted alright, that's for sure.
It’s the whole “campaigning specifically on attacking trans people and minorities” that kinda gives it away
It seems awfully rude to ask him to cite his unhinged hallucinations
Since when is Mystique trans?
But more importantly, why should we care? People and society change, pop culture is nothing more than a reflection of that. As long the writing is good and the character is interesting, then maybe we should stop being so fucking concerned about the gender identity of completely fictional characters.
I don’t think about politics at all while watching movies. But I don’t make politics my identity either
And it always failed, spectacularly.
Yeah, crawl over to truth social so you can stay in your nice comfy echo chamber. Wouldn’t want anyone rolling up on you with meaningful information or anything
