To me, my X-rule! - Blåhaj Lemmy

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 require an example of someone stating that x-men isn’t woke. I don’t believe anyone could avoid understanding that.

I saw a video of MAGA Republicans playing “Killing in the Name of” by RATM at an event while draped in the American flag.

Never underestimate the media illiteracy of conservatives. They kinda have to be media illiterate to be conservatives.

I can see people bopping along to music and ignoring the non-chorus lyrics but x-men, the half century old segregation allegory with enough content to occupy a small library… that is a hard sell. It feels insincere.
My guess is they see “superheroes in tights, with dashes of relatable problems”, instead of allegories and people who fight so those who are like them, and those aren’t, can coexist.
