Be they the Right, Operation: Zero Tolerance, ONE, the Friends of Humanity, the Purifiers, the Trasks, ORCHIS, XENO, Coven Akkaba, HAMMER, CRADLE, the MRA, the SHRA...the minority with power and influence have exerted control over a gullible, culpable, ignorant majority and done awful things. Every time. Lowtown support is great! Stevie Hunter being on their side is great! But its meaningless next to the humanity that DOESNT support them.
Too bad the Madripoorian government doesn't care what Lowtown thinks and would love to wipe them all out alongside the mutants. Too bad Stevie Hunter and Eye-Boy's mom are cancelled out by Bobby Drake's family, and the crowd that wanted to kill Kurt as an infant. And too bad neither of those come close to equaling the power and influence of Russia, Brazil, the UK now, and other world governments and their blatantly anti-mutant policies, or America and its covert ones...
