    Of course Emma is going to help repress them. Emma is all about deceit, backstabbing, fake, faker breasts and name dropping brands to no one who cares. She doesn't know crap about being honest.

    ZNOP, Iceman's dad can be a good guy and nice and still be homophobic and or racist. He has prejudices. Anyway, he could have wanted the very best for his son and still repressed him precisely for that reason. Of course this is the sort of conversation more people NEED to have but can't really have in public thanks to the perverse effect of the PC police dragging us straight back to Victorian Era censorship in the name of "sensitivity".

    Since we're talking about this in public, I'm not sure how can argue there's censorship ongoing.

    In the particular case of Bobby and his father, we see that even though the two love each other and protect each other, the father's disapproval of the son's life choices makes a close relationship impossible. The last we saw of the two, things had fallen completely apart, what with the father's abandonment of any interest in fixing the relationship and the son's triggering of a heart attack in the father.

    There's no reason why someone can't be a generally decent guy while still being bigoted. That's usually how it happens, actually.

    They're defined, multiple times, in the comics themselves: Bobby is a mutant who, rather than behaving like a normal person, is a high-profile superhero. That he dates the wrong sorts of people is an added source of frustration.

    Who determines that, who determines what I mean when I talk, IMHO that would be me but to be fair I laughed at the comment so thanks for the chuckle.

    Are you telling me that respect isn’t a thing anymore that people are allowed to walk up to their friends take them aside and tell them their sexual orientation regardless of the possible effect that it could have. I am like Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs I got rules one of them is simple your life, your choice let no one tell you different. Good words to live by in my opinion.

    Thank you so because Jeen from what I have read and you have said is a selfish jealous arrogant confused young girl and people are applauding her and arguing with me when I call her on it because she was the cause of the gay community getting a a lister that represents them, that seems to be what you are telling me. It also seems that you feel that any execution will do just so long as it’s done.

    Thank you for putting words in my mouth, I didn’t say the story wasn’t plausible, I recall saying imo that it was offensive, bad and an insult its still plausible I just would be pissed if it happened to anyone I cared about.

    True I never said it’s what would happened I just said usually when I say those things its meant to be a signal that I don’t want to talk about it and not the other person but if the person cared as much as Jeen is supposedly meant to then she would respect it and drop it. To me it sends a signal that she doesn’t.

    Yeah because it impacts her, wither Bobby is out that day or the next week the impact to Jeen is the same plus for me it would paint her in a much better light and bobby’s outing would be about Bobby not Jeen’s jealousy and confusion.

    Because that’s their job, they hired you and you agree to consent to them managing your performance plus in my experience generally my managers do actually ask am I free for a minute to talk, I even remember asking for a minute.

    In my experience only if it impacts the team’s performance I could be wrong doubt I am though but they had just helped save the universe so I doubt there were any issues with the team’s performance.

    A few things
    1)I’m not mixing personal anything I’m stating how I see things I’m pretty sure I have said imo or to me or imho in some form or another about 20 times.
    2) Jeen didn’t say she knows about his sexuality she told him and as I saw it browbeated him into acceptance out of her own confusion and jealous. She could have quite simple said you don’t need to hide Bobby I’m hear if you want to talk so he decides not her, it will now go down that Jeen chosen the time and the place that Ribert Drake was outed.
    3) Couldn’t she have just said that she was there for him did she need to mention the words you’re gay alot. To me she comes across as arrogant, selfish, self-centered and really unlikable. It was Bobby’s life his choice to and Jeen took that from him.

    Personally with friends like Jean you don’t need enemies and Bobby has plenty of enemies.

    There is a time and place for discussions but there are also some discussions you should never have Jeen doesn’t have that filter either.

    Great reason to love a character because there are pro-gay, sorry if a character is a pro-gay selfish ***** I’m not going to like her why because she is a ***** being pro-gay doesn’t change that.

    Ok I don’t agree.

    That would explain a lot.

    No it’s really not Storm uses Atmokinesis which is basically weather manipulation
    Where Crystal is an Elementalist and uses
    Aerokinesis – air manipulation
    GeoKinesis – bedrock manipulation (includings earth, iron, granite, shale, limestone etc)
    Hydrokinesis – Water manipulation (this also includings Cryokinesis )
    Pryokinesis
    Atomic Manipulation

    Did they so why do they always go back to the main status quo why was Peter brought back or why did Steve take back the shield or why resurrect Thor.

    No its where you think he should be I’m still of a mind that he should take the shield back and get the S.S

    Don’t think anyone said that

The fact that Marvel considered all major players at that time to be white males tells you a lot right there. There was no way to have change without pushing some of those guys out of their places.
    No not quite true Black Panther was offered a seat at that first Illiminati and refused but obviously he was considered a major player and tbh there weren’t really leaders, I wouldn’t have thought back then that Tony lead the avengers for me that was Cap for me it’s always been Cap or Cap doing it feels the most natural to me. Plus even back then you had female leaders Wasp in the avengers is one that springs to mind and guess what no one was pushed aside so she could achieve it, that’s all we are asking make it feel as organic as Wasp and Scarlett Witch leading the avengers. Note back in the 90s Wanda tried to step down and let Steve take over guess what he refused.

She made him accept himself. She is a wonderful person.
    Thank DDD you have made my point she made him accept himself please explain why because of her confusion and/or jealous she has the right to make him do anything and still be claimed that she is a wonderful person.
    Truth is the best policy
