guys i’m such a slut for x men worldbuilding like.. here are some things
mutant pride parades. mutants who are less scared getting together and celebrating each other and themselves. going through town not shunning who they are. the police decided not to provide them protection so some mutants with strength-based powers being the police for a day
mutant hashtags on twitter. #magnetowasright followed by #cyclopswasright. bitchy humans using #notallhumans. like, i guarantee there’s like a couple humans that absolutely NEED to comment on every tweet that could be viewed as anti human like ‘well u dont need to take it that far,,, most humans are really cool with u guys, i think ur being a little unnecessary’
mutant singers writing song abt life as a mutant. the violence u face as one, finding another mutant who’s perfect for u. i can guarantee there’s a couple abt using ur powers for the first time- some really bright and bubbly and happy and some more emotional and abt that ‘realizing u could never be normal again’ moment.
mutants making posts on tumblr abt the struggle and then a human commenting smth like ‘i’m not a mutant, but i totally feel this!’. #blocked.
police brutality against mutants left and right. little to none of it gets on the news and it makes the more active mutants furious and the less active ones heartbroken
imagine the graffiti.
human passing mutant kids in school speaking out abt mutant issues a little too passionately and then not raising their hands for a few days bc they can’t expose themselves
mutants coming out to their parents after causing an explosion in gym class and being told to ‘go up to your room, me and your mom need to have a talk about what to do’
mutants accidentally showing their powers in school(a teacher knocks a stack of papers off the desk and the quiet girl who sits at the back of the class stops them before they hit the ground. some upperclassmen are bullying a member of the field hockey team and her captain stands in front of her and - are her fists on fire?) and then finding other mutants in the school who are in awe, or glad to have friends
@frostsemma
and on the negative side:
what do you mean you have a secondary mutation stop being so greedy pick one like the rest of us
you dont deserve to be in our community because you are human passing you dont have it as bad as the rest of us
I bet you anything there is prejudice among mutants against those who have ‘’useless’’/less impressive powers
internalised mutanphobia : ‘’I dont understand why they have to be so in your face about their mutations,I am a muntant and I would never go to those prides they are just embarassing themselves’’
1970s MUTANT POLITICS Starters
“no way bowie isn’t a mutant”
“with nixon gone, do you think anything will change?”
“i don’t want you to be afraid of me”
“it doesn’t work like that.”
“do you think someone’s going after ford the way they did kennedy?”
“we’re not monsters. not all of us are, anyway.”
“only a matter of time until magneto ends up the same way as steve biko.”
“enough is enough.”
“of course they’re angry at us, they were were upset enough about roe w. vade.”
“you can trust me. im not going to hurt you.”
“how can anyone think we’re the threat after munich?”
“rumor has it if you sign up for testing, they’ll exclude you from the draft”
“no, it isn’t groovy.”
“pretty sure i’ve seen star wars 3 times now.”
“new pope, same old bullshit.”
“they’re trying to say they can experiment on us, like we’re some sort of animal”
“i’ve never been afraid of mutants”
“it doesn’t matter what they think. they aren’t us.”
“no way magneto took out kennedy, had to be a cover up”
“do constitutional rights only extend to humans?”
“my own parents thought i was crazy.”

( feel free to add more. The logo was created by me but inspired by other World Summit’s logos. )
When word got out about the laboratories experimenting on mutants throughout the 60s and 70s – the truth championed in large part by the notorious Brotherhood of Mutants – the government sought quickly (and effectively) to legitimise and justify these labs through a series of persuasive campaigns, targeting the “everyman’s” fear about mutants and the widespread ignorance surrounding mutation.

1980s Political Movements
Below is a small sampling of some of the major political movements that began or ended during the 1980s. Please feel free to use them as a starting point for research or as topics for roleplay and discussion. More to be added soon!
RISE OF THE EVANGELICAL RIGHT (US POLITICS)
The “New Right” began to emerge in the late 1970s and 1980s as a response to what was seen growing crime rates, pollution and urban overcrowding. Consisting of a wide range of Americans, including disaffected white liberals, evangelical Christians, anti-tax crusaders and proponents of a wholly free market, the New Right also spoke out against what they believed as cost-ineffective social programs and federal overreach.
THE 1979 REVOLUTION (IRANIAN POLITICS)
During the 1970s, power in Iran was largely held by a small group of close allies & friends of the Shah of Iran, Reza Pahlavi. As his rule grew increasingly more autocratic and increased the gap between the country’s rich and poor, dissent began to build against his regime. Opposition voices began to rally around the Ayatollah Khomeini, a Shia cleric living in exile in Paris and supporting a return to traditional conservative and religious roots. Throughout February 1979, and following the Shah’s flee from Iran, opposition forces began to rally and the Ayatollah was elected in a landslide victory in a national referendum less than two months later.
THATCHERISM (BRITISH POLITICS)
Following the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979, her political platform swiftly began to promote free market economics, restrained government tax cuts and a rise in British nationalism both at home and abroad. This led to an increase in conservative social views, with many suddenly in a panic over what was considered a decrease in general morality and acceptance of “non-traditional” ways of life & living.
THE DIRTY WAR (ARGENTINIAN POLITICS)
The Dirty War, from 1976-1983, was a seven-year campaign by the Argentine government against suspected dissidents and subversives. Many people, both opponents of the government as well as innocent people, were "disappeared" in the middle of the night. They were taken to secret government detention centers where they were tortured and eventually killed. These people are known as "los desaparecidos" or "the disappeared." In the early 1980s, it became clear to both the world and the Argentine people that the government was behind the tens of thousands of kidnappings. The junta, facing increasing opposition over its human rights record, as well as mounting allegations of corruption, sought to allay domestic criticism by launching a successful campaign to regain Las Islas Malvinas (the Falkland Islands). The Dirty War ended when Raul Alfonsin's civilian government took control of the country on December 10, 1983.
