I saw someone complaining that the old X-men show was at least subtle and not in your face about how it approached social issues.
This was in response to a clip from the old X-men show of a bunch of anti-mutant brownshirts in armbands getting mad that a filthy mutant was touching a human woman.
I think it’s safe to say that person was not arguing in good faith.
I’m usually fine giving the benefit of the doubt, but this comment was in direct response to a scene from the show that was absolutely blatant, so they had to wilfully ignore that.
To me, my X-rule! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
I just don’t get people who say X-Men wasn’t “woke” until recently. It never even tried very hard to hide the metaphors…
