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…

    I think that’s it really. These people didn’t understand the metaphors at play as children, and lack the capacity to reflect on what they enjoyed as children and realize that they grew up to be the villains.

    And, of course, there are plenty of bad faith actors who never watched or read X-Men in the first place and/or don’t care about the messages it tries to convey, and just want something to be outraged about for attention.
