Was this series an allegory for homosexuality?
>quality that separates a person from "normal people" only becomes apparent at puberty
Yeah

Only when Chris "fetish" Claremont shows up.

Which begs the question, are the X-Men even relevant anymore? Gays can get married now and racists, on both sides, are faggots that nobody in the real world takes seriously.
>>82591115
no. it was about a gifted man in a wheelchair seeking out other gifted people and helping them to become heroes.
then faggots and sjws hijacked the x-men just like they hijack everything cool and act like it was theirs all along. then they turned it to shit.
>>82591115
it can be an allegory for basically any minority group ever.
race
sexual orientation
religion
easily the greatest power origin ever made
They're the "Other", it doesn't matter what Other.

It didn't start out as a puberty-only thing. Beast was born with his powers.
>>82591230
I think it works for any kind of "othering"
>>82591115
Just for Bobby

They were too busy all trying to inseminate Jean Grey at the same time.
Mutant discrimination can parrallel to other types of discrimination, but it only really works as its own thing. Gay people can't fly and black people can't shoot lasers out of their eyes. If they could, that'd be another issue entirely.

I think it's just kind of a smaller message that you recognize rather than something that needs to be a huge focus of stories because it does fall apart like you've said. Like once it starts resembling a gun control debate you've gone too far.
>>82591115
It's just about bigotry in general.
Racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.
was this series an allegory for gun control?

the real reason Chuck blocked off Jean's Telepathy
>>82591722
maybe he just went through puberty in utero.
It works better in the current political climate.
>race of people that hold incredible power
>hated by others
>homoSUPERIOR
>they're genetically superior to everyone else
"Mutants" are Caucasians. Xavier and X-Men are liberals and SJWs.
Brotherhood is the right wing and Magneto as usual is right.
>>82592342
mutants are a privileged minority
Xavier is like, we should all treat each others like equals
Magneto is like those superior should rule over those inferior
