x-menās inherent flaw in its storytelling is that it always has mutants with useful powers telling mutants with actual curses to be proud of their powersĀ
āyou should embrace your giftsā says Orgasm Dude, the dude with the power to give anyone an orgasm
āyeah thanksā says Will Explode If He Gets A Boner ManĀ
Isnāt this literally the Rogue subplot of X-Men 3?
āIs it true, thereās a cure?ā says Everyone I Touch Dies
āThereās nothing to cureā says Weather Lady Who Was Worshiped As a God
Itās not a flaw, itās a reflection of real life, the way everything is in x men
Itās like a white gay man who lives in a liberal city telling a black trans woman in a deep red state that she should be proud and out of who she is despite that her life expectancy and safety are not the same as his
Itās like someone with mild autism telling someone with severe schizophrenia that they are fine the way they are and donāt need treatment
All marginalized groups are not the same, and all people are not the same, and Storm telling Rogue she doesnāt need to be fixed is referencing people who can get by with their minority standing telling people who will literally not survive how to feel and think just because they are also a minority
Yes yes & more yes
