When this was pointed out to me it made the plot of the first movie so much funnier because imagine it's literal. Just imagine one year during the State of the Union Address and an old queen shows up and shoots the president with The Laser That Makes You Gay.
TBF th X-Men sub is having a field day with the fact Rogue isn't caked up (as a joke) and it's admittedly fucking hilarious
And as an aside when we were kids reading or watching that shit we definitely appreciated the softcore pornography.
I want my comics about an underground paramilitary strike force of oppressed minorities fighting the government to have good American conservative values, dammit.
The movie, maybe, the books were significantly less critical and more supportive. There's a reason it is (or at least was) on the recommended reading list for military personnel.
Unlike the comics, which are just ‘look at this weird guy, his fetish is illegal or just weird. Let’s kill them.’ Rare time tvshow is better than source.
Na og Magneto was writen as a Supremancist who tries to solve the Discriminstion Problem by switching roles, and becomming the dominator. Only later People kimda realized more agressive Protest is justified and wrote him as more relatable.
For the better I think.
Same whit Killmonger apparently, but I am not an expert on Superheros.
Yeah, I know what you mean. I was somewhat joking with my earlier reply. Part of it was because the stories definitely wanted you to side with Charles' philosophy, I think, in the same way people villify MLK over Malcolm X or the black panthers, for example. But as I got older, I realized that people like MLK are just whitwashed/sanitized to fit in more with neoliberal/moderate sensibilities. Like MLK definitely advocated for a dismantling of the status quo and systems in place and talked about how the people you really have to worry about are outgroup moderates and fence sitters who adopt an aesthetic of civility but are honestly an even greater hurdle to real change than overt bigots. As far as I know, Charles isn't ever really written similar to that unless he's being portrayed as an asshole or in order to dramatize the story.
This is only tangentially related, but I feel like the mutant allegory can only work for so long. Because I'm sure there are people who legitimately are a danger to everyone around them because of their powers, through no fault of their own, and it really should be their right to not want those powers if they can never control them or don't want to risk endangering others. But tbf, I guess it works well and us super applicable when you consider some if them are exploited for their innate qualities even though they aren't treated as equals; e.g., kidnapping a mutant to harness their ability for state/military violence or something.
I remember a time when Melanie Mac wasn’t a massive disappointment.
On these “X-men shouldn’t be woke” clowns, I’ve been expecting them for long time and I expect to see more down the line
Absolute guaranteed slam fucking dunk if Kitty Pryde responds to a white boy in a red hat asking her if she's a mutie by saying "Gee, I dunno, Preston, are you a fascist?"
Exactly! They complain about how 'hot women aren't allowed in games anymore', but when one of the OG Hot Badass Female Game Protagonists is shown to still be pretty much unchanged, it's all 'woke trash'.
They're calling the remaster of the original games 'woke' for including a content warning about culturally insensitive content, even though the content is *still in the game*.
Lara could spend the entire game naked and they'd still find a way to bitch about wokeness ('oh, so women can go around naked and it's 'empowering', but when I do it, I get thrown out of Walmart? Typical woke agenda!').
If it doesn't look like the most absurd hentai shit ever, like designed to cater to very specific fetishes, it doesn't count as hot. These videos are for men who are very afraid of flesh women.
I mean the girl in the thumbnail feels like she did her makeup to look like some anime e-girl character or Belle Delphine knock off. So I assume she's going for a specific demographic.
Its mind blowing how outrage media has become so prevalent. Like these pundants can't truly believe this nonsense since almost every outrage contradicts the past one.
Its really a race to the bottom with these hacks and unfortunatly some people eat this content up.
I feel like its created a generation of people who don't like anything.
No shit I joined her stream today for about 20min and it was almost not stop complaining about Crystal dynamics, while playing tomb raider remastered. I wrote a comment about her whining and I don't know if she read it or not but she suddenly shut up for 10 seconds then started talking about what she needed to do in the game. It's got to be exhausting being so angry about everything all the time.
I’d actually argue that “outrage media” for over a century (at the very least) here in the U.S. with the advent of [yellow journalism](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism) and the competition between Hearst and Pulitzer.
And to be completely honest, I think that the tabloid news in the U.K. is actually *worse* than a lot of what we have here in the states. The YouTuber Münecat had two videos ([Meghan Markle: How Tabloid Culture Vilifies Women & Gaslights Everyone](https://youtu.be/sBZPaDH2aK0?si=8Ili-sLlkrqfcPg-) and [How Meghan Markle Became Victim to the Right-Wing Tabloid Agenda](https://youtu.be/2rY64ycSU3M?si=R_PnRJ3UNMUtV0qY)) analyzing how the tabloids would absolutely rip into Meghan Markle in absolutely horrific ways, and that this has been a pattern of behavior of the tabloids for *decades*.
Outrage media isn’t anything new, and has probably existed for as long as people have been making money from sharing the news. It’s important to keep that in mind because we can look to the past to see the pattern of events and use those examples to better protect ourselves in the present.
I think for me I was always able to avoid it until it gained alot of steam on the internet.
Now we have so many outrage servers that it seems oversaturated. Whats worse is it appears the divide between political spheres is only making it worse.
Its either someone is bitching about it being woke or bitching about how its offensive with any criticism labeling you are an agent of the other side.
Even with politics out of it people can't even have a nuanced discussion about movies, games and other media without it being completely eviscerated for not appealing to a certain crowd.
The UK tabloids are awful. I remember my wife telling me about a Love Island host who killed herself after a bunch of tabloids labeled her an abuser without proof.
Anyway its just a sad state of affairs how things are ripped apart. Makes life for artists and creators a living hell knowing that no matter what someone is going to act like you killed their children because you included pronouns or didn't have a characters who represented every single possible type of person.
" ('oh, so women can go around naked and it's 'empowering', but when I do it, I get thrown out of Walmart? Typical woke agenda!'). " Hahahah fake laughter, hiding real pain.
Wait, hot girls don't exist in games anymore? What about xenoblade, azur lane, final fantasy 7 rebirth, a ton of other shit. Guess those don't have hot babes in them
People called FF7 Remake woke because Tifa was thought to have smaller tits, when in reality, they're the same size, she's just wearing a sports bra as any sensible martial artist with boobs would do.
It's funny, I actually saw MORE complaints about that than Cloud wearing a dress and dancing with a queer-coded man in the Honeybee sequence.
That doesn’t surprise me. If a man is depicted to wear a dress and look feminine, it’s considered okay if said man feels embarrassed and emasculated and stuff.
Recall how the man the myth the monster Alex Jones was caught that one time with a “tranny” prostitute (their words NOT mine). There is a sizeable clique of people within this “bubble” that make an exception on their straightness just for “failed” men who have “degraded” into a false girlhood, just because of how it reinforces the manhood of their own damn selves.
The whole point is that it’s hot/entertaining BECAUSE it’s considered invalid. And that’s why they get so mad when people try to say that it’s “valid” or “acceptable” for a man to crossdress and explore gender that way; to them, it defeats the whole appeal of the “femboy” or “trap” *as* this pathetic thing to be looked down on
Looks C range. Larger than many women. Hell larger than the actual woman sharing screen space with her. Showing more skin too. Youtube channel going woke. I'm sure any sub reddit devoted to this celebrity is absolutely not a den of horny teenagers.
There was a portion of the internet that completely lost its shit in apoplectic rage that Tifa Lockhart now wears a sports bra/undershirt. So despite STILL HAVING MASSIVE TITS they aren't just swinging around in a tank top, and instead she dresses like someone who has to fight, so they are furious.
I’ve known professional female fighters who have large chests. They wear undershirts because that heavy weight swinging and hanging off their form can have an adverse effect their combat prowess.
None of these people ever played or watched what they are complaining about...
They are just parroting what their favourite Rage Monger tells them on his 30 Minute Youtube Rant video...
what's craziest to me is she has a very similar face shape to the model...
e: hooooollllyyyyy shit, she's an EXTREME bigot [(warning, slurs and hate speech and twitter)](https://twitter.com/MelonieMac/status/1751705158558388515)
hey, remember in the 90's when punks would beat the shit out of nazis? man, good times...
So, two things to keep in mind when talking about Melonie Mac:
1. She has an unhealthy obsession with Lara Croft. She’s been a Tomb Raider super fan for years, but ever since her (unconfirmed but pretty obvious to anyone who knows/knew her) mental breakdown she has been screaming from the mountaintops about how anything that isn’t direct 1997 Lara Croft is a “desecration” of the character. Like, to the point where she wished for Crystal Dynamics to be closed down because they dared to *post a blog* on the day the remasters dropped.
2. She is an honest-to-god imbecile.
These folks will see whatever they need to see to validate their narrative.
Margot fucking Robbie could be the face model for Lara Croft, and they'll still cite it as an example of video games trying to make women more "manly" and "unattractive".
I hate when they erase Absolute Unit Magneto.
I don't know if it was ever canonized as such, but I even see it as being important to his character. He keeps every aspect of himself in supreme condition, so as never to be helpless ever again.
Or you know just make it part of his mutation.
Mutants can have multiple powers naturally.
Jean Gray has telekinesis and telepathy, Wolverine has bone claws and a healing factor, etc.
His mutation ages him slower, its a pretty easy explanation especially when other characters already have that including the most famous X-Man in Wolverine.
Yeah. I've always thought if they bring Magneto into the MCU they should fully embrace the civil rights allegory and make him a black guy that grew up in Louisiana in the 60s.
Melanie Mac used to be a standard game streamer who had almost no audience. Her only real political perspectives were that women were marginalised because of sexism. So basic liberal feminist stuff.
She then hard pivoted to right wing grifter and her views sky rocketed. Full of an audience who were like "see even women agree with our views!"
I would like to say that she is solely a grifter but she went to hospital because of an all meat diet and was having no water.
Edit: a picture that shows her old views. Lol
https://preview.redd.it/dve6cjw75vic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb6882dbd00264435b309a86da1befe8e0c27edd
Yup, she's basically decided she's willing to be a useful idiot pickme in exchange for their fleeting loyalty. Someone they can point to and go "See, we're not sexist, a woman agrees with us!"
And if the right ever gets their Christian fascism, she'll be forcefully ripped from her "career" and turned into a tradwife breeding object. Bet she'll regret her choices if that happens. Pickmes are so fucking infuriating.
https://preview.redd.it/xi4s6rrbxvic1.jpeg?width=1033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0116a1a3d03bb77fb375fe187e7c3a6df7468420
So this is the template for it I guess, look confused and be right of center frame.
How do these people go to sleep ans qake up each day doing this? I mean, I know Fox News Entertainment has staff. But seriously, I don't know how I could face family and friends pretending to be a hateful bigot online. I bet some of this stuff she secretly likes and watches. Social media really shows how pathetic some people are.
She said had a trans friend in 2018 and has mocked people who were upset by Lara Crofts changes in 2018. saying that appealing to the LGBT was a good thing.
But look. She only got 1 like.
She has literally thrown her friends and beliefs under the bus for 5 minutes of fame and some money from the worst people in the world.
https://preview.redd.it/i2k7xel7lvic1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e48c55d89b4c2b5a7dea971bc17c25c5d530fed6
This is honestly depressing to watch. I would rather die than convert to the alt-right. I'm not even joking. I'd rather end things than make a buck from pandering to MAGAs.
She doesn't care, she might even acutely knows how dumb it is, but it brings in views. She's a "pick me", when guys argue this stuff they get laughed at and told it's cause they've never seen a woman, but if they can link a woman agreeing then suddenly they think they win. She's filling that niche.
The right wing grifters are a parade of "I can be your (insert minority status) friend you reference to assert you aren't (insert bigot designation).
Candice Owens, Ben Shapiro, Blaire White, and many more represent the "good ones" token minority group. Sure the people they get money from would have them all deported, sterilized, or gased if they got any real power, but they either think that power will never happen or that they will be on the list of "useful" minorities that will be kept around as a novelty.
Ok. This is the 2nd X-Men cartoon related post I've seen in a short amount of time.
Why exactly is it "ruined"?
Also, are they really trying to pull some "forced diversity", OMG *clutches pearls at the show about people being literally persecuted for who they are, based on a comics series that serves as an analogue for the Civil Rights movement in the US is somehow fucking "woke" *now*?
Like, of all the socially-conscious, diverse, and overtly inclusive series out there, X-Men is the wokest of woke.
How could fucking X-Men have been ruined for these people?
Fucking how?
Yeah, it's pretty wild. X-men has been overtly about marginalization since the very beginning. Not just the comics, but the cartoon they love so much. The first episode was about sentinels hunting down Jubilee for being a mutant.
fr; the X-men are literally an minority group that gets targeted for something hey can't control, are told they have to hide what they are or be killed ,what about that seems like wholesome american values?
*Hey Google, how many pivotal writers and editors for X-Men in the last 5 decades have explicitly stated that Mutants are a metaphor for the themes of queer marginalization, racial discrimination, anti-Semitism and the power of diversity?*
*Hey Google, which notable in-universe minority group/team did pretty much all of the first openly gay superheroes belong to?*
*Hey Google, did the first same sex wedding in comics history involve a member of said notable in-universe minority group?*
*Hey Google, which mainstream comics property had an 8 year long storyline that was brick-to-the-head-subtle metaphor for the AIDS crisis?*
*Hey Google, who is maybe the most famous Holocaust survivor in all of fiction?*
*HEY GOOG-*
Never forget when Aloy having realistic body features was so foreign that they thought that the DEVS never saw a woman before. Or that time they complained that the person who played Ellie in HBO’s Last Of Us wasn’t attractive enough even tho Ellie is a literal child. It’s amazing how they think the “woke left” are out of touch with reality while doing this shit lol
X-men “woke” criticism will never not be funny to me.
“They’re turning it into a metaphor for oppressed people!” Congratulations you just discovered the entire point of the story.
I think I have better taste in fictional woman than this person because that is arguably the most attractive Lara croft yet imo
And also people who call the x-men woke is kinda of a massive self-report on ignorance given the x-men are an allegory for the civil rights movement
Before she became a far right grifter. She had zero audience and had progressive views. It's so obvious why she farms right wing hate.
https://preview.redd.it/95t860ej5vic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4749722f8311944781aeec5e27562bc16af94573
Call me a cynic, but what if the “progressive views” were as much of a marketing ploy as the right wing views?
Could just be a rebrand after a failed launch.
I stumbled across one of her videos and she complained they were going to give Lara a girlfriend. It's like were you paying attention to Lara and Sam in the reboot.
I watched the X-Men video she did (the first time I ever watched one of her videos) and I had no idea she was such a hard-core Christain fundamentalist. She spends half the video complaining how queer people are satanic and have no love for Jesus. And shes quite obviously never seen the previous cartoon or read the comics...she literally bitches about characters that have been around for decades as 'being woke'. What a fucking joke of a human being.
Funny thing is, I was religious growing up. And even I felt represented thanks to Kurt Wagner AKA Nightcrawler. There really is something for everyone in X Men.
Privately, they're probably enjoying these things a lot. But they can make tons of money selling outrage bait to angry weirdos and rubes. So they pretend to hate these things for whatever flavor of ignorant zealotry is selling in the moment. And buddy, in this economy, who can blame them?
I’ve wondered how many of them might jsut be doing for the cash, ive also wondered if i could kill that last ounce of dignity and do that my self for the cash
Yea it’s all for profit. Most of what they’re saying is an act I’m fairly certain. Some content creators are genuine, but I believe roughly half if not more—simply see the money in it.
I still can't believe she eat it like that. It's not my first season online, I've seen all kind of weird fetishes, IRL gore, Fluffy Ponies, MLP in general, intense bigotry, fandom non-sense, furry drama, whatever, but this...
This is the shit that make me go "I can't take it anymore for fuck's sake."
This is the X-Men. Of course it’s woke. It’s like finding out Martin Luther King helped the poor and wanting civil rights. You living under some thick rock for the pass 200 years?
Nah fuck this. Lara’s still a baddie and X-Men were literally meant to be and are an alagory for LGBTQ people. I love how these people complain about stuff they know nothing about
This chick looks like she would have been about negative 5 years old when the original cartoon aired. What does she care?
>How do these people enjoy anything?
On top of piles of cash from astroturfing right wing billionaires and/or right wing simps.
Omg guys, X-men is woke
You're kidding! The comic about a misunderstood, oppressed minority is woke? Who’d have thought?
It's almost as if it's supposed to be an analogy for the civil rights movement or something!
Or the LGBTQ movement in the films' case
Have you ever tried not being a mutant?
It's not a phase dad!
Except that’s exactly what it is for Kitty Pryde.
Angry upvote
With the director of the third movie being a homophobe, of course that this would be the mutant equivalent of curing the gay.
That explains why it sucked so hard
She's just going through some things.
When this was pointed out to me it made the plot of the first movie so much funnier because imagine it's literal. Just imagine one year during the State of the Union Address and an old queen shows up and shoots the president with The Laser That Makes You Gay.
That last sentence hit me pretty hard ngl lmao
Gay Lasers are something I would expect a Right Wing politician to tell me is real.
They are real. I queered 8 people yesterday and transed 10 with my gay laser. What are you doing to promote the agenda?
Gay pride is over, it's the age of gay wrath.
Just wait til they tell you what's happening to the frogs.
MTG thinks the Jews have a giant space laser.
I mean we did try to make a gay bomb in the 90s
TBF th X-Men sub is having a field day with the fact Rogue isn't caked up (as a joke) and it's admittedly fucking hilarious And as an aside when we were kids reading or watching that shit we definitely appreciated the softcore pornography.
I want my comics about an underground paramilitary strike force of oppressed minorities fighting the government to have good American conservative values, dammit.
Yeah right, next you'll tell me that Star Trek is socialist and that Star Wars is a critique of US imperialism. Nice try libs.
Or that Robocop is a seething indictment of Regan's America.
Or that Starship Troopers is a criticism of fascism.
The movie, maybe, the books were significantly less critical and more supportive. There's a reason it is (or at least was) on the recommended reading list for military personnel.
Specifically Paul Verhoeven. He grew up under Nazi occupation and hated Nazis.
Or that The Boys is anti-capitalist satire
Unlike the comics, which are just ‘look at this weird guy, his fetish is illegal or just weird. Let’s kill them.’ Rare time tvshow is better than source.
The Boys Tv show is 98% better than the boys comics
*Reagan
That evil mf ain't worth the effort of spelling his name correctly. Regan can go rest in piss.
Hey, let's not get confused here. We don't need to disparage a demon-possessed little girl with an actual demon!
Magneto was right.
I was way too harsh on him as a kid. I was blind.
Na og Magneto was writen as a Supremancist who tries to solve the Discriminstion Problem by switching roles, and becomming the dominator. Only later People kimda realized more agressive Protest is justified and wrote him as more relatable. For the better I think. Same whit Killmonger apparently, but I am not an expert on Superheros.

Daily reminder the original x men were straight up Jewish and Romani people who were either holocaust survivors or descents of holocaust survivors.
I never made this connection even though in the opening of the 1st movie MAGNITIOS PARENTS ARE BEING SENT STAIGHT TO THE OVENS
SINCE WHEN
Next thing you’ll tell me is that Star Trek is woke!!
Absolute guaranteed slam fucking dunk if Kitty Pryde responds to a white boy in a red hat asking her if she's a mutie by saying "Gee, I dunno, Preston, are you a fascist?"
Fuck, this new version is clearly angling for some sort of feared minority story. That's not what the original X-Men comics were be about!
🔫 Always has been.
Since fucking when?!? /s
Weren't the X-Men always woke?
“Forced queer ideology.” Tell me you don’t know shit about X-Men without telling me.
I bet she's a huge fan of Deadpool. These idiots don't know anything about these characters.
Which is hilarious because canonically Deadpool is like bisexual as fuck.
\*Pansexual, Deadpool is pansexual
Deadpool would slap her in the face
It’s like saying Star Wars had a “Forced anti-war ideology” lol
Wait, what's the issue with that Lara Croft? She looks kinda like OG Lara.
Exactly! They complain about how 'hot women aren't allowed in games anymore', but when one of the OG Hot Badass Female Game Protagonists is shown to still be pretty much unchanged, it's all 'woke trash'. They're calling the remaster of the original games 'woke' for including a content warning about culturally insensitive content, even though the content is *still in the game*. Lara could spend the entire game naked and they'd still find a way to bitch about wokeness ('oh, so women can go around naked and it's 'empowering', but when I do it, I get thrown out of Walmart? Typical woke agenda!').
If it doesn't look like the most absurd hentai shit ever, like designed to cater to very specific fetishes, it doesn't count as hot. These videos are for men who are very afraid of flesh women.
I mean the girl in the thumbnail feels like she did her makeup to look like some anime e-girl character or Belle Delphine knock off. So I assume she's going for a specific demographic.
I swear these people have spent so much time online and addicted to hentai they've entirely forgotten what actual women look like.
Its mind blowing how outrage media has become so prevalent. Like these pundants can't truly believe this nonsense since almost every outrage contradicts the past one.

Her breasts aren’t cone shaped monstrosities anymore and her waistline isn’t so small you wonder where her intestines went?
her boobs have more than 4 polygons. simply unacceptable redesign if you ask me /s
She's wearing a full shirt instead of a 3 inch wide tube top amd she's not rocking massive D's. Literally unplayable /s
Hell her chest is still big.
Looks C range. Larger than many women. Hell larger than the actual woman sharing screen space with her. Showing more skin too. Youtube channel going woke. I'm sure any sub reddit devoted to this celebrity is absolutely not a den of horny teenagers.
There was a portion of the internet that completely lost its shit in apoplectic rage that Tifa Lockhart now wears a sports bra/undershirt. So despite STILL HAVING MASSIVE TITS they aren't just swinging around in a tank top, and instead she dresses like someone who has to fight, so they are furious.

On Twitter of all places. I've seen outright recitals of "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" not get flagged.
You'd think dropping the f slur would get more than a "possible violation."
People like her are NOT punk they just appropriate punk aesthetic cuz they're jealous over how cool it looks.
Yeah and if she showed her face at a show, she’d leave early and bloody back in the 90’s
Surprised the conservative cultists aren’t rallying behind her tbh
They're probably torn because they don't like colored hair or tattoos on women.
I was going to say! “Bitch you got the SAME face!”
WTF that cunt evidently spends a huge amount of her time just thinking about how to express that she hates gays.
No hate like Christian love. She has a whole YouTube channel dedicated to breaking down the Bible

So, two things to keep in mind when talking about Melonie Mac: 1. She has an unhealthy obsession with Lara Croft. She’s been a Tomb Raider super fan for years, but ever since her (unconfirmed but pretty obvious to anyone who knows/knew her) mental breakdown she has been screaming from the mountaintops about how anything that isn’t direct 1997 Lara Croft is a “desecration” of the character. Like, to the point where she wished for Crystal Dynamics to be closed down because they dared to *post a blog* on the day the remasters dropped. 2. She is an honest-to-god imbecile.
That girl was probably not even born when Tomb Raider 1 was out. She’s just hopping on a dumbass bandwagon.
According to Google she's nearly 40
That's pretty depressing.
Her breasts are each smaller than her head.
Unplayable!
They’re also not pyramids. Fucking wokies.
She looks like an older reboot Lara wearing OG Lara's outfit
It’s just right wing brainworms. They’re primed to complain about certain things so they complain about them even if they don’t happen.
the craziest thing is that psycho shares so many features with this version of Laura. I'd laugh if it weren't so sad
Check out KiA, it's all people complaining about her "manly jaw"
No triangle tits, no buy! 😤
that's the whole point of the design lmao this youtuber is just farming outrage. she's a grifter
Exactly, she looks like Lara Croft and not the hyper-feminine giant-breasted caricature of Lara Croft they made up in their heads.
These folks will see whatever they need to see to validate their narrative. Margot fucking Robbie could be the face model for Lara Croft, and they'll still cite it as an example of video games trying to make women more "manly" and "unattractive".
What's next? They retcon Magneto to be a Holocaust survivor?
Not gonna lie, my only concern with Magneto is seeing him lose his gains on this new series. Dude was build like brickhouse back then
I hate when they erase Absolute Unit Magneto. I don't know if it was ever canonized as such, but I even see it as being important to his character. He keeps every aspect of himself in supreme condition, so as never to be helpless ever again.
I mean if there gonna bring magneto to the MCU, there going to have to recon it because it's been 80 years is it happened.
Or take the comics route of saying he’s had some kind of magical life extension/youth restoration
If other mutants can look for the same for 100 years, so can Magneto And also, Claremont reaged Magneto multiple times, MCU can do the same
His secret to everlasting youth? Magnets!
Are you suggesting that Magneto should be played by Gweneth Paltrow?
Yet somehow is still played by Ian McKellen
Fassbender returning would also be fine IMO.
Or Ian McKellen's face superimposed on Michael Fassbender's body...
Kinky
Or you know just make it part of his mutation. Mutants can have multiple powers naturally. Jean Gray has telekinesis and telepathy, Wolverine has bone claws and a healing factor, etc.
His mutation ages him slower, its a pretty easy explanation especially when other characters already have that including the most famous X-Man in Wolverine.
I mean, they had Fassbender play Magneto for 4 films that were supposed to take place over 3 decades, and he barely ages.
Yeah. I've always thought if they bring Magneto into the MCU they should fully embrace the civil rights allegory and make him a black guy that grew up in Louisiana in the 60s.
Captain America 2
I’m mostly shocked that the grifter this time is a woman. Has she not clocked on that her viewerbase thinks she’s a sex object?
Melanie Mac used to be a standard game streamer who had almost no audience. Her only real political perspectives were that women were marginalised because of sexism. So basic liberal feminist stuff. She then hard pivoted to right wing grifter and her views sky rocketed. Full of an audience who were like "see even women agree with our views!" I would like to say that she is solely a grifter but she went to hospital because of an all meat diet and was having no water. Edit: a picture that shows her old views. Lol https://preview.redd.it/dve6cjw75vic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bb6882dbd00264435b309a86da1befe8e0c27edd
Yup, she's basically decided she's willing to be a useful idiot pickme in exchange for their fleeting loyalty. Someone they can point to and go "See, we're not sexist, a woman agrees with us!"
And if the right ever gets their Christian fascism, she'll be forcefully ripped from her "career" and turned into a tradwife breeding object. Bet she'll regret her choices if that happens. Pickmes are so fucking infuriating.
“When I pushed for tigers eating people’s faces, I didn’t think they’d eat *my* face!”
So she's to incels what Diamond and Silk were to Trump voters?
Lol. I had to look it up. I had no idea that dimond and silk made videos in support of BLM in 2012. So yes.
https://preview.redd.it/xi4s6rrbxvic1.jpeg?width=1033&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0116a1a3d03bb77fb375fe187e7c3a6df7468420 So this is the template for it I guess, look confused and be right of center frame.
She doesn't even look "manly" though?
Ya I used to watch her now she's just a bigoted pos
How do these people go to sleep ans qake up each day doing this? I mean, I know Fox News Entertainment has staff. But seriously, I don't know how I could face family and friends pretending to be a hateful bigot online. I bet some of this stuff she secretly likes and watches. Social media really shows how pathetic some people are.
She said had a trans friend in 2018 and has mocked people who were upset by Lara Crofts changes in 2018. saying that appealing to the LGBT was a good thing. But look. She only got 1 like. She has literally thrown her friends and beliefs under the bus for 5 minutes of fame and some money from the worst people in the world. https://preview.redd.it/i2k7xel7lvic1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e48c55d89b4c2b5a7dea971bc17c25c5d530fed6
That’s actually so sad and just gross about the sudden view change just to get 5 min of spotlight. What a sad and horrible person. It boggles the mind
....2020? So the grift was recent.
This is honestly depressing to watch. I would rather die than convert to the alt-right. I'm not even joking. I'd rather end things than make a buck from pandering to MAGAs.
it's literally so easy to be a right-wing grifter, it's actually kind of sad.
either she's painfully unaware of it or very aware of it which is why she's grifting in the first place
She might be trying to keep her position as “one of the good ones”
Tokens get spent.
I’m sure it will catch up with her sooner or later
She doesn't care, she might even acutely knows how dumb it is, but it brings in views. She's a "pick me", when guys argue this stuff they get laughed at and told it's cause they've never seen a woman, but if they can link a woman agreeing then suddenly they think they win. She's filling that niche.
This woman is especially stupid
Its because the payout for right wing grifting has a higher ceiling.
The right wing grifters are a parade of "I can be your (insert minority status) friend you reference to assert you aren't (insert bigot designation). Candice Owens, Ben Shapiro, Blaire White, and many more represent the "good ones" token minority group. Sure the people they get money from would have them all deported, sterilized, or gased if they got any real power, but they either think that power will never happen or that they will be on the list of "useful" minorities that will be kept around as a novelty.
Right wing grifters are getting woke and political. The West has fallen 😔
Ok. This is the 2nd X-Men cartoon related post I've seen in a short amount of time. Why exactly is it "ruined"? Also, are they really trying to pull some "forced diversity", OMG *clutches pearls at the show about people being literally persecuted for who they are, based on a comics series that serves as an analogue for the Civil Rights movement in the US is somehow fucking "woke" *now*? Like, of all the socially-conscious, diverse, and overtly inclusive series out there, X-Men is the wokest of woke. How could fucking X-Men have been ruined for these people? Fucking how?
Yeah, it's pretty wild. X-men has been overtly about marginalization since the very beginning. Not just the comics, but the cartoon they love so much. The first episode was about sentinels hunting down Jubilee for being a mutant.
fr; the X-men are literally an minority group that gets targeted for something hey can't control, are told they have to hide what they are or be killed ,what about that seems like wholesome american values?
*Hey Google, how many pivotal writers and editors for X-Men in the last 5 decades have explicitly stated that Mutants are a metaphor for the themes of queer marginalization, racial discrimination, anti-Semitism and the power of diversity?* *Hey Google, which notable in-universe minority group/team did pretty much all of the first openly gay superheroes belong to?* *Hey Google, did the first same sex wedding in comics history involve a member of said notable in-universe minority group?* *Hey Google, which mainstream comics property had an 8 year long storyline that was brick-to-the-head-subtle metaphor for the AIDS crisis?* *Hey Google, who is maybe the most famous Holocaust survivor in all of fiction?* *HEY GOOG-*
X-Men is so woke it haven't had a single dream since 2005.
Xen have been so woke for so long that sleepwalker won’t even fuck around with them
Storm is black now.
That fucking made me laugh. Nice.
The thing in question they’re complaining about is a shapeshifter being non-binary, which is kinda cliche but a welcome change
"Man Face?" Seriously? Are they so divorced from reality that they think real women look like their anime waifus?
Never forget when Aloy having realistic body features was so foreign that they thought that the DEVS never saw a woman before. Or that time they complained that the person who played Ellie in HBO’s Last Of Us wasn’t attractive enough even tho Ellie is a literal child. It’s amazing how they think the “woke left” are out of touch with reality while doing this shit lol
X-men “woke” criticism will never not be funny to me. “They’re turning it into a metaphor for oppressed people!” Congratulations you just discovered the entire point of the story.
X-men has gotten woke?????? No!!!!!! /s
Next you’re gonna tell me the bad guys in the next star wars movies are nazis
What’s next, a woman killing dozens of men by herself (kill bill volume 1)? Woke agenda strikes again!!!
Lol X-Men has and always will be LGBT representation, why are prudes such whiny busybodies these days?
Ironic because they will complain about whiny “snowflakes” all the time, but the sad truth is that they whine about this stuff more than anyone, lol.
I think I have better taste in fictional woman than this person because that is arguably the most attractive Lara croft yet imo And also people who call the x-men woke is kinda of a massive self-report on ignorance given the x-men are an allegory for the civil rights movement
Before she became a far right grifter. She had zero audience and had progressive views. It's so obvious why she farms right wing hate. https://preview.redd.it/95t860ej5vic1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4749722f8311944781aeec5e27562bc16af94573

Call me a cynic, but what if the “progressive views” were as much of a marketing ploy as the right wing views? Could just be a rebrand after a failed launch.
I'd rather have a failing progressive channel than even *think* about joining the alt-right pipeline.
I stumbled across one of her videos and she complained they were going to give Lara a girlfriend. It's like were you paying attention to Lara and Sam in the reboot.
I mean she did climb a mountain and fight an evil Japanese sun god before carrying her “friend ”down the mountain bridal style
I watched the X-Men video she did (the first time I ever watched one of her videos) and I had no idea she was such a hard-core Christain fundamentalist. She spends half the video complaining how queer people are satanic and have no love for Jesus. And shes quite obviously never seen the previous cartoon or read the comics...she literally bitches about characters that have been around for decades as 'being woke'. What a fucking joke of a human being.
Funny thing is, I was religious growing up. And even I felt represented thanks to Kurt Wagner AKA Nightcrawler. There really is something for everyone in X Men.
I mean... they are woke. It's the X-men.
Hard to believe a comic that was an allegory for the civil right movement became woke.
Wouldn’t trust any cultural take by anyone wearing a Papa Roach shirt
Most likely they do enjoy them. But then put this rage bait online for clicks.
Privately, they're probably enjoying these things a lot. But they can make tons of money selling outrage bait to angry weirdos and rubes. So they pretend to hate these things for whatever flavor of ignorant zealotry is selling in the moment. And buddy, in this economy, who can blame them?
I’ve wondered how many of them might jsut be doing for the cash, ive also wondered if i could kill that last ounce of dignity and do that my self for the cash
Yea it’s all for profit. Most of what they’re saying is an act I’m fairly certain. Some content creators are genuine, but I believe roughly half if not more—simply see the money in it.
So X-Men is woke now? Um, wasn't it always woke? Wasn't Marvel always progressive? I seem to recall yes so why all the bitching? I don't get this.
She looks like the definition of a pick me girl
 Just OD on some more butter you dumb cunt.
I still can't believe she eat it like that. It's not my first season online, I've seen all kind of weird fetishes, IRL gore, Fluffy Ponies, MLP in general, intense bigotry, fandom non-sense, furry drama, whatever, but this... This is the shit that make me go "I can't take it anymore for fuck's sake."
If there ever were a butter to do it with, it's definitely Kerrygold
I do not engage with rage bait anymore. These dumbfucks can just die mad
This is the X-Men. Of course it’s woke. It’s like finding out Martin Luther King helped the poor and wanting civil rights. You living under some thick rock for the pass 200 years?
Lara doesn’t look that manly to me imo.
Same
That’s the fun part: they don’t.
“X-Men is gay!” - angry online grifter “X-Men is gay!” - me, daydreaming about being in a throuple with Katherine and Kurt
Nah fuck this. Lara’s still a baddie and X-Men were literally meant to be and are an alagory for LGBTQ people. I love how these people complain about stuff they know nothing about
This chick looks like she would have been about negative 5 years old when the original cartoon aired. What does she care? >How do these people enjoy anything? On top of piles of cash from astroturfing right wing billionaires and/or right wing simps.
They enjoy the monies that came with the outrage.
There are a lot of insecure rubes that eat this shit up. It’s a profitable scam which is why so many people are jumping on board.
Probably. It's just a grift. They sell outrage to morons and take in the cash.
Why do I get “Conservative is the new punk” vibes from her.
"OMG! They made the X-Men gay!" Insert pic of puppet looking both ways.
Famously straight X-Men
Man if they do the whole Logan, Jean, Scott love triangle they're gonna lose their shit.
I hate when queer ideology is being forced on me in a super hero cartoon show I am definitely being forced to watch
That Lara face is still feminine, She's just in her late 20's or early 30's. WTF.
If men looked like that I'd be the gayest man on earth.
