Topic	How come in Marvel, people who want unequal rights/mutant registry are bad guys?
UnfairRepresent 07/01/18 8:58:26 AM #10:	Factor in that this the same government who thought a reasonable mutant control system was 20 foot tall giant robots and it's not hard to see why them having a list isn't ideal. Yeah that's dumb Gheb posted... The vast majority of mutant abilities aren't dangerous and mutant abilities don't manifest until puberty. So the only way a registry would work would be by the government demanding people to self-identify upon their abilities manifesting. That or they go around and start invading people's lives to find out if they are mutants. People who for the most part are no more dangerous than you or me. It's a pretty terrible violation of our rights. But it's not being a "Bad Guy" to take those lengths when the danger is so significant. Again going back to Hamas, if you found out tomorrow that the leaders of Hamas could control minds or control the weather, would you be opposed to government intervention into relevant people's lives to contain that situation? And even if you were, would you say people who weren't are "Bad Guys"? What if your daughter or sister was mind controlled into being a sex slave for some creepy guy who can control minds? And then he made her commit suicide when he got bored with her? nd while mutant terrorists like Magneto and Mystique are bad. Assigning their actions to all mutants is just straight racist. But it's so not. "Black people shouldn't use the front of the bus because they are inferior" is racist. "Hey the guys who could potentially literally kill all humans on Earth should probably have a registry..." is reasonable. IT's not comparable because the reason for the action is not driven by hatred or bias. It's driven by rational fear. Black people and Lesbians are not comparable to people who can control minds and control the weather. Yeah it sucks for Little Billy who can make cars explode with his mind that despite not doing anything he is getting tarnished by the same brush as Big Susie who just murdered the entire population of Thailand but it's reasonable that he is. It's not the same as Little Billy getting tarnished because he is black and Big Susie is also black and she murdered a guy. Because being black is not a superpower. People are not endangered because a guy is black. I'm sorry but all humans on Earth being 4 seconds from being wiped out in the biggest possible genocide in history trumps any counter-argument --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:904291305] in How come i...
