Most X-Men are gorgeous white people with the athleticism of Olympians and the looks of super models. The reason they're majority white and pretty is so they'll sell comics and merchandise. But because they got their powers the 'wrong way' they also get to be saaaad oppressed minorities who know exactly how it feels to be held down by the man! That way their readers can ignore any criticism lobbed their way by actual black people such as myself, while also explaining how disliking how these billion dollar corporate mascots shield themselves behind actual human suffering means I'm lowkey racist.
Progressives showing their values by purchasing X-comics are as useful to the cause as vegans who shop at whole foods.
