    I didn't mean to misrepresent the truth, I was merely commenting on what I'd observed from media reactions and online discussions in regards to the result.

Down the line, when mutant-human relations are in a better state (so, when humans stop trying to actively terminate mutants, who aren't going to war with them, so far), humans should be allowed on the main land. Before that, Krakoa doesn't have the luxury of underestimating them and the threat they might represent. Even if good people get there, you can't guarantee that they won't be captured by anti-mutant forces and have the information extracted from them through torture or other inhumane methods.

    It's really not that hard to understand.
    Corsair of all people wasn't on the Mainland as far as we can tell, was he? He was no UN ambassador, nor racial extremist but a father visiting his sons - so the whole "humans need to stop trying to actively terminate mutants" can go to hell here.
    Same remark I just made about the whole monolithic stance on sapiens and the lack of nuance in dealing with them.
    Blanket ban is too extreme of a stance.

    Ok, please elaborate for me so that I might better understand?

    It's a fallacy.
    People are not MONOLITHIC. People are PEOPLE. They are DIFFERENT, hold DIFFERENT beliefs and DIFFERENT views on things.
    As long as you don't integrate that in your examples, they'll keep falling flat on their face like this caricatural one.
    Except that when comes to safety issues 100% no exceptions is a fair stance because 1 slip up is all it takes. And humans don't need to come on Krakoa for humans and mutant relationship to get better. Coming on Krakoa does nothing for mutant /human reletionship The reason the example works when the husband proves that not he is not on alcohol and the wife feels comfortable he will be allowed some benefits. Mutants and the humans problems can be fix without Humans ever touching Krakoa. One day mutants are going to feel comfortable and the going to put down a settlement by the humans and if the humans don't kill the mutants it will be a step forward. Then more and more settlements will happen and before you know it humans and mutants are living together in peace.Without 1 human ever stepping foot on mainland Krakoa. The wife doesn't need to let husband into the house to fix the problem.

    Ah yes, that unequivocally racist Corsair and his racist views on mutants this issue, and the Fantastic Four and their oppresive stance towards mutants back in HoX, yeah, sapiens are alllll the same… Can't find the panels supporting your belief here, but I'm sure you'll point them out for the sake of your argument.

    Corsair is still one person, who lives in space and hasn't been exposed to the mutant hating culture. He works as an exception. The blanket ban is certainly not right in some sense, but it's more practical than counting on people's good heart.

    Krakoa is now property of Xavier, Magneto and Moira and they say "No humans allowed". Do any of you allow people you don't like onto your private property? Geez, it's that simple.

    Sometimes the not everyone argument in my opinion seems like an easy way out safe space. It's easy to say Not all humans or not all this or that and then knowingly being the majority sitting back in safety and not getting out there to do anything to help or not adding your voice. It makes it hard to know who you can trust aside from those you already trust. The argument could be made on corsair not being in the main island and being an ally but there is nothing that said he couldn't go their in this issue and with images of Shogo on the main island it's still just forced assumption on lack of information and the word of one mutant. I would think if it was such a huge issue the council would have put it into law.

    Krakoa is alive and has expressed that it didnt want humans on itself. Do ppl just let anyone step on them when they feel like it? I mean except on thursday nights.

    It doesn't mean they are not above criticism…

    Like a lot of churches don't allow openly gay pastors or preachers. I think that's more wrong than Krakoa not allowing humans free access. I wonder if they see that the same. It's exclusion.
