And it always failed, spectacularly.
The problem with xmen is fundmental. They are weapons. Its not skin color or sexuality or anything, they are living weapons, and the metaphor falls flat before it ever stands up.
Exactly. There are mutants many thousands of times more dangerous than atomic bombs. There are mutants the fundamentally subvert the basics of society like free will. To look at it and say "this is just like black people" is, Uhh, questionable at best
It wasn't there are just like black people. It was more about society pushing out anyone who was different, like black people.
Oddly Stan was a Democrat and they were the most racist ones in the room. So I am not sure why Stan was a Democrat.
Except in the case of x-men, "different" is on the level of world-ending superweapons.
I don't think so. I always thought it did a good job of it. I was never meant to be in your face woke crap. It was meant to enforce tolerance.
Stan Lee was a jew, non-practicing but still a jew. He saw the horrors of WW2. I don't know if that shaped his views on tolerance but I suspect it did.
