The first X-Men movie literally starts with a scene of Magneto being separated from his parents at Dachau, which in hindsight makes his willingness to violently resist the fascist rumblings of the US government in that film completely justified and turns the X-men into the fucking Freikorps.

Professor X killed Rosa.

In fairness to X-Men, it was slop that made people engage with the idea of being a marginalized person.

Also Magneto's whole point is that there has to be a counterpoint of violence in order for Xavier's vision to be more palateable.

This is literal holocaust shit jfc. I have a moment that rooted itself deep in my memory of a trip I took.

This was an actual quote from a curator of the Sheldt museum. There is good reason why ethnicity, race, or religion should NOT be listed on any ID. Gender and orientation should likewise follow, I guess delete your dating apps.
