At this point, that honestly wouldn't surprise me. The ultimate resolution of The Rectangle: Jean gets to bang both Scott and Logan; Scott gets to bang both Jean and Emma. It'd neutralize the soapy relationship drama so Hickman could focus on his big, Starlin-esque ideas.
Would it make sense given the characters and their histories (other than, maybe, Emma)? No. But, that's never stopped Marvel before.
Same thing people were thinking with Bangel vs. Spuffy. Just have Buffy date both of them, which she fantasized about herself in the comics.
But given what we know of Angel & Spike, no way they would settle for that.
BUT if Hickman does wanna put an end to Soap Drama, then having the X-Men come into the 60's of Free Love will certainly do that. Then fans can get whatever ships they please without Will They or Won't They taking up any of his stories.
We already saw it with Domino. She got done screwing Warpath one night, then got to Colossus the next evening. lol Then she was interested in hitting it with Shang-Chi.

Damien, Stefan and Elena
Taylor Lautner, Edward Cullen and that girl
Yup enough love to go round for everyone
considering what happens (especially in these forums) when the 'metaphor' in the stories approaches the real world, I would be more concerned than anything about the X-men becoming ... more open.
Exactly why would it blow up in their faces?
Given that the X-Men franchise has always had huge queer subtext and that it also has a huge queer following, i think it would actually be embraced a lot more than you think.
I don't care what straight casual fans who don't actually read comics or muh classic hetronormative shippers have to say tbh.

It’s weird to see a Scemma fan be resistant to radical change, considering the origins of that ship.
Everyone having open relationships doesn't mean they'll have orgies all day long, though. Just means they wouldn't be forced to date only one person at one time, which would have the added effect of not having to come with contrived reasons to break up relationships because you want a new one.
When someone makes agressive sweeping statements such as calling people who don't share the same opinion "out of touch" or saying "i know how things work" it's a good idea to back up those statements with argument and reason.
