I think PV is being sarcastic. But in general, yeah. I'm not getting the vibe about the cult business. Seems like one person said it, now it's a bandwagon to call them cult-like because it's been said for so long. It's old & tired like the Xavier = Maker theory that people will keep screaming.
They seem like their own separate community where they can finally be openly mutant & proud without the worries of human violence. So everyone is in a state of newness & rejoice. But I don't see it as cultism. Just an awakening period for a while, then things will settle down.
This is more of a cult.

But not getting the same vibe with Krakoa.
