So in the latest installment of what won’t make MAGA throw a tantrum.
Wait - X-men has storylines regarding being different from the norm?
What is this woke garbage.
Next thing you’ll tell me is that the whole concept of being a mutant is a metaphor tied to acceptance of different races, sexual orientations, etc.
I bet with their woke agenda they even do something ridiculous like have some plotline about ableism and have their most powerful mutant be in a wheelchair.
X-Men is woke now??
I mean that kinda just makes sense. A white, featureless character that can shape shift. It seems like gender wouldn’t really even apply to them.
… Sigh… Okay so not to be ungrateful as any non-binary representation is basically a good step… But there’s weird issue with non-binary characters so regularly being rendered as shapeshifters or intersex aliens or whatever.
Like, yes, you talk to us and do the “what superpower would you want” thing and like 3/4 of us would say shapeshifting. But there’s still this really weird thing where the audience is lead to accept the character’s gender because of the character’s body. It’s sort of just more gender essentialism but via sci fi fuckery. The character is sort of more arguably intersex with non-binary simply being like Prisig’s Buddhist principle of “Mu”. Are you sexually male or female? - mu. Un-ask the question as the binary does not apply.
Not so much trans representation as the character’s gender is in fact kind of in line with their body’s physicality. The cis third gender with a presentation that your brain recognizes as both and neither.
I am sure that the character will end up being endearing but like… It’s not exciting.
As a very male presenting nonbinary person, this comment hours the nail on the head.
“I can’t believe X-Men went won’t!” say the “fans” who has apparently never read X-Men
I mean these are the same people who are confused about what machine RATM have been raging against this whole time.
MAGAts are the untamed brats in the shop aisle pitching a fit for attention and should be treated the same: keep walking, don’t give them any notice, let somebody else whup they ass.
I’m more miffed that they nerfed Rogue’s butt and made it almost pancake-flat for the sake of trying to keep everything E-rated. Original vs reboot for comparison.
If you’re rebooting a 90’s Marvel animated series and trying to make it as authentic as possible to the original art style and source material, maybe sanitising female body proportions to appear more modest whilst keeping every guy jacked isn’t the way you go about things? But then again, maybe the House of Mouse should’ve realized that the core demographic who read comic books are vastly different to those who consume non-acquisition Disney media and that if you put the two audiences on a Venn diagram, you’d damn near get two perfect circles.
At least the Morph changes make thematic sense and people getting upset over them being non-binary are the same kind of snowflakes who flipped out because Starfield asked them to select their character’s pronouns - a choice that took all of about zero to three button presses to select on the character creation menu and also makes thematic sense for a game set hundreds of years in humanity’s future.
I’m more miffed
I’m more miffed that anyone gave enough shits about a cartoon depiction of an ass in a childs cartoon show to have spent the time even getting miffed about it.
-
When I may miffed, it’s more like minorly inconvenienced,
-
Wasn’t aware that the show was produced specifically for Fox Kids, probably because Fox Kids/Jetix in the UK was known moreso for hours of Power Rangers reruns and the occasional good show. That changes things slightly.
-
Wasn’t the reboot commissioned specifically with fans of the original 1992-97 show in mind? It feels weird to do this when the core demographic that has nostalgia for the original animated series is likely in their thirties now.
OR
Get this.
It’s completely irrelevant and spending that much time and mental effort on it is not a thing that warrants as much focus and attention you’ve put on it.
this focus on her ass is bizarre and borderline creepy.
-
I can’t believe they just yanked her cakes! What kind of sick world is this?!
What 90’s hetero geek didn’t fantasize on them cheeks.
You think only the hetero geeks wet their sheets over those mountains of flesh?
No, but now a days I’m afraid to assume on the internet
