Which includes paling around with literal war criminal Avaserala who tells them how important tolerance is while she plans a counter revolution with Earthers and Martian and Belter collaborators who all hang out in the same luxurious lounge built by wealth pressed out of Belter workers who do not even own the air they breathe. She literally oversaw the torture of Belter PoWs personally in S1.

Especially because Mystique in the movies had such a strong anti-assimilationist energy. Answering the question why she doesn't always look like a human with "because it shouldn't be necessary", having a literal shapeshifter refuse to obey passing dictates is fucking powerful for me as a trans woman.

Genuinely one of the most egregious and frustrating character assassinations I've ever seen in one of these things. I know on some level all of these stories are dependent on who is behind the typewriter so its impossible to say what a character actually would or wouldn't do but its just such a fucking infuriatingly simplistic view not just of the mutant civil rights allegory but also of how a character like magneto would perceive their struggle. Haven't finished X-men 97 yet but the plot point with what happens to Storm and his response feels like a direct fucking response to that scene in Last Stand TBH.
