    What was it about my statement that triggered such an aggressive response?

    And what about powerful telepaths? Emma and Jean would for sure feel if someone was trying to download their whole memories. It's strange they didn't know up until now.

    Not aggressive but you were effectively dismantling the notion of empathy and metaphor to make a point about minority viewpoints. That’s a highly contentious way of expressing it but hey “it holds true”.

    How are we still on this “why can’t I invade spaces created because I marginalized the hell out of you” argument? Clearly this is a survival thing, not a “we hate all hoo-mans!!!” plot so the sinister mutants can oppress the vulnerable humans at every turn.

    Also, all of what you’ve said with Franklin and the Council kidnapping him hasn’t been introduced or even hinted at. It’s just been crack theories with nothing of in-canon substance.

    No. Stop it. You told me that I was stating how stories HAD TO BE TOLD. I did no such thing. I won't even continue since you are making this about me, not the work.

    That's why I said what if. Was Sabertooth cloned?

    Mmm hmm. And its EARLY.
    Simply because Magneto gave a "You ain't welcome" here speech to the duplicitous humans they INVITED to tour Krakoa, doesn't mean that won't evolve -- be it selectively.

    And the question of "why should baseline humans allow..." should be pointed at the weaponized satellite "allowed" to orbit the sun because baseline humans don't LIKE feeling LESS.

    Can you elaborate on how my comments dismantled the notion of empathy?

    You mean business as usual for humans. X-men Gold they passed a law to kick mutants out of the US. Mutants have been chased out of several countries but hey one country in world doesn't allow humans. That is some terrible thing it should be 100% equal.

    This feels like people who complain about Jordan Peele only making movies with minorities leads "but it is unfair that he is denying a white person a chance at role. Jordan Peele is racist every movie director should give people an equal chance" .Uhm you realize he is doing this because they are gazillion movies with white leads.The industry still favors white people." No No.It is unfair if it was white person who said it would be considered racist".

    The system is stack against mutants and it is unfair. Nothing is done by humans to make it equal. Why in the world are people pretending it is equal? It is hitting to close to real life for me I guess.

    I'd have to check but I'm pretty sure the early issues stated that non-mutants could visit their mutant family members.

    Anyway, mutants are carving a space for themselves after they've been chased and oppressed everywhere. They are also only in the foundational period of this new state. Their stance on isolationism/openness might very well change in the future, but they have to get this shit on track first, so there are other things to worry about.

    I was trying to make a point about what you said not you:

    To claim there is no story here is to define story in a very narrow way. I would see your definition being confined purely to methods like those espoused by Lajos Egri to the exclusion of all other types of storytelling. Not even Egri would claim that.

    It is not about fairness. It is about making sure they don't end up having the rest of the world turn against them. Again. Closing off Krakoa just gives people a reason. It makes it hard to trade when something is withheld off that bat.
