Even if no one said it, it's is the context of the conversation. That is specifically the issue with mutants.

The context of the conversation was that it doesn't work as an allegory to real world oppressed groups when the group in the fiction has the ability to end all life on the planet within seconds.

These dudes disagreed with that, cowardly avoided literally every question or point raised and then went "Yeah well if you hated people for having green skin that would be a good allegory for hating people for having black skin!"

Well no shit. You're agreeing with the point being raised. That would be an allegory that gels. Star Trek did that in the 60s with the black and white aliens played by the Riddler. But people with green skin can't end all life on Earth within seconds.That's why it doesn't work.

"So you're saying you just hate all green people then!"

it's bizarre. Dudes doing so much mental gymnastics just avoid admitting they were wrong.

I mean the Sheen guy can't even respond without only quoting one sentence from a post, then strawmanning a bizarre horrific sentence out of his ass that no one ever said and going "U R saying this!"

Some message boards ban people for doing that.
