@jk_tidwell @ioutsouldu Also putting aside the loss of life/personhood, it was absolutely a cultural genocide as well. Every hub of mutant culture like Mutant Town was destroyed and/or converted into internment camps

[Roland @r_spill13]

@jk_tidwell Not only did probably hundreds if not thousands of mutants die when they lost their powers, but it was 100% a cultural genocide. Just look at what happened to Mutant Town

@dr3amcatcher93 Really all you need to know from the power pack issue is that surprisingly children witnessing mass murder is traumatizing for them + they fight sabretooth

[Roland @r_spill13]

@arakkosuperstar I would!

[Roland @r_spill13]

@arakkosuperstar @AtlantisFell People say the humans of marvel are too unrealistic for hating mutants compared to other heroes and then come on here and say the sentinels are based

[Roland @r_spill13]

@ChampagnePuthy Tbh if it wasn’t an X-Man movie it would be fine. It’s just an awful X-Man movie lol

[Roland @r_spill13]

@ChampagnePuthy They fucking hate me personally. Fucking over dragon age and mass effect???? EA you shall pay

[Roland @r_spill13]

@ChampagnePuthy I feel like it’s very clear she wants to write a romance comic so she should go do that instead! I’m sure it would be fun!

[Roland @r_spill13]

On another note, I have read Avengers vol. 1 and West Coast Avengers vol. 1 and I have so many thoughts.

[Roland @r_spill13]

@AtlantisFell Absolution was fun but I’d love to see more pre-Origins history covered in animation. The Ferelden Civil War, fall of the Dales, Orlesian political machinations, stories expanding on the northern states more, etc. There’s so much more to explore

[Roland @r_spill13]

The Krakoa-Israel discourse also just reaffirms to me that most of yall really need to take some more History and Literature classes

[Roland @r_spill13]

So much of this Krakoa is Israel discourse boils down to people just wanting to have “moral” reasons to hate X-Men readers. Krakoa is both a critique of western nation-states and also a utopian story, which means there was always a ticking clock.

[Roland @r_spill13]

are either textually considered bad (Beast, Exiles) or are just fundamental misunderstandings of the material (Krakoa supposedly being a direct parallel to Israel and Zionism, which it is not). If yall want to be haters, at least be educated ones.

[Roland @r_spill13]

That being said, there was still plenty of critiques both textually and in the fandom space that it’s silly for people to try and claim that X-Men fans are problematic for liking Krakoa. Especially when the issues non-readers are bringing up to shit on X-Men fans
