To me, my X-rule! (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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...

"x-men was never woke"

my god the first episode was literally about right wing fascists in government opposing civil rights while trying to put people on a registry and deploying sentinels to capture them and bring them to a slave island.

The X-Men was originally a civil rights allegory... It's been woke since the beginning.

X men is literally about people who's different in their own ways and how they can accept the world and themselves to be their best while being discriminated. Woke AF.
