The X-Men are legitimately supposed to deal with themes and messages involving racial prejudice and such. It's just that weirdos on Twitter get genuinely upset at the idea that the genocidal hypocritical murderer who wants to rule over all of humanity (Magneto) is seen as the villain of the series.

It doesn't work at all though. If black people were 50x stronger than white people and could fly then some racial fear would be warranted. If asians could shoot lasers out of their eyes then additional security around asians would be justified.

The problem is that the moderates are a lot, and they are dragged along with the crazies. They are probably average joes who want to do something in life or that got sucked into the whole ideology and now they cling to it, but they commit the bare minimum because they don't believe in it 100%.

That used to be me, I would go a long with whatever BLM or any SJ movement would push but deep down, I didn't believe in most of it. I have quite a few friends are also "moderates" but are more willing to buy into it than I am. A lot of them know I'm a shitpost personified, so they don't care.

TV Tropes User on including gay and the like characters:

"Speaking as a writer who has gay, trans, and other characters. Depicting that they exist and making them the protagonists is "not an agenda." If it's an agenda, it's being realistic and not being a bigot as there's no reason not to have them as existing and sometimes the protagonists."

True. If you do not make everything revolve around their sexual identity and you just make the fact that they are gay/trans something secondary that is discovered casually and accordingly, then fine.
If you decide to shove the fact that they are gay/trans and promote said character over that fact, then you have an agenda and probably your character is shit and you don't have confidence on said character being popular or likeable, so you go for sympathy points with their sexual identity instead of something relatable or tragic.

The problem isn't the gay characters. The problem is the fetishistic author wanking over the character being gay/trans/whatever that breaks the pacing or feels tacked on.

Oh, the hero of your fast-paced space opera story is a dashing space pirate captain version of Robin Hood? Cool. Oh, he's married to Space Will Scarlett? Sure, that works! Just don't break the pace of the story to have an obsessively-rendered sex scene that contributes nothing to the story.

You know what I never see done? Them adding those characteristics to characters in a way that actually affects the plot in some way. Oh, your female heroine is asexual? Have her get out of an accusation of having slept with the king by pointing out that she sleeps with no one and everybody knows that. Hell, have her volunteering to prove her virginity or whatever by braving a dungeon only the pure can survive.

Don't just add those details to make yourself seem woke when they're irrelevant to the story. Do something with those stupid details, enrich your damn story!
 
Every day I am reminded why I hate the Animal Crossing community.

The old writers (I.e. not anyone currently writing them) also knew that something like the X-men taking on racial problems could get really dull and preachy after awhile, which is why they were also, on occasion, space adventurers (I mean, the most famous X-men story of all was about a giant flaming bird from space, and ended with them fighting alien superheroes on the moon!).

Yeah, the idea of mutants being metaphors to social issues went out of the window pretty quickly once the high-powered superhero plotlines took off. After that, hiding their identity as mutants became essentially the same as Clark Kent hiding his identity as Superman: it's a secret identity, not a matter of discrimination.

They still fished the original concept back out every now and then when someone wanted to write a more "socially conscious" story, but by and large no one was too concerned with "mutie rights".
 
Behold another leftist professor claiming that capitalism is a failure:


Just in case you don't want to read through the whole thing, and I don't blame you, here's the final bit of his essay with his solution:

When they're not demanding straight up socialism and/or communism, then they seem to have a thing for worker co-ops. I know co-ops aren't inherently bad, but some leftists seem to think it's a panacea for all our economic problems like this guy.

What lets you know this is all a sham is that these same professors will also promote mass immigration and forced diversity, which have been empirically shown to neuter the ability for cooperatives and unions to form.

So with the one hand they offer their "solution," and with the other hand they pull the rug out from under it.

That's where the irony comes in. They're professors and administrators who wouldn't know what it would be like in the shoes of a working man struggling to earn a meager salary, only for a likely chance of their jobs being outsourced or filled by illegals because of a cheaper wages.
 
There is no law or regulation that makes these Utopian worker co-ops impossible in the US today, right now.

The reason they don't happen is because they aren't what most people want, most people are fine with not owning the means of their production, accepting wage/salary and benefits as fair enough compensation and leaving the politics and bureaucracy of running the nuts-and-bolts of a workplace to the actual owners. I'm fine with not being part of the arms of my job that deal with managing advertising and the fleet vehicles and insurance and taxes and payroll, and I want it to stay that way.

So, whenever I see someone shilling hard for the co op model of mini communes I can pretty much tell they're going to pull the false consciousness excuse of why they need shilled for in the first place "You don't know how GOOD you could have it if only you stopped believing you actually LIKE things as they are you dumb sheep!"

If they were any good, you'd see workers advocating them, but time and time again only the "smart" academics and junior socialists want them.
