The X-men cartoon was the biggest contributor to my "Comic" knowledge and still to this day I only skim over comics as I prefer movies and cartoons. Probably me just being lazy, lol. I was never fans of Wolverine or Raphael for the same reasons, if you are always an asshole how are you the good guy? I always felt like Cyclops was the ultimate "GOOD" guy and as a Kid that made sense to me. As I get older I understand more of where Wolvie and Raph are coming from, but their attitudes still drive me crazy.

As for the all the PC nonsense and jargon I say no to kids making out on Disney channel. I have no kids, but I would imagine that I would not want my 6 or 7 year old watching kids make out regardless of what their genders are or sexual orientations. I personally hate all things PC, "Oh I am somewhat offended by some nonsense remove this nonsense so that I can feel entitled for the day or until the next Yahoo has a problem with something else and then I will be forced to choose my next BS battle that has nothing to do with you but somehow manages to effect you..." it kills me. I feel like if Cyclops was in charge things would go a lot smoother.

So in conclusion Fuck Kanye! <- Been saying it since Bonnaroo 2008
Scott Summers for President 2020!

it's not about people being offended. people need to realise that about "Political correctness" which is really just another word for politeness and respect.

it was and is still pretty for me and my career prospects are pretty dim, being a disabled transgender women. people who exist at intersections like me are treated as a joke, but i know plenty of people who are marginalised in more than one way because that's what happens when you get real people and not one dimensional characters.

A lot of the time people take offence for a very good reason. but people plug their ears and say "Social justice warriors!" or "PC Gone mad!" so don't stick around for an explanation.

I hate for example that I don't have a single figure of a Transgender character. And the few that exist(Crappy Knock off Birdo figures, a few Poison PVCs) aren't exactly to my liking.it's really depressing when you feel like you're never allowed to be the hero. sure I don't always relate to the trans character the most when there is one(Laverne Cox's character definitely isn't my favourite in OITNB) but why is it only people like me that are asked to relate to people different to themselves, constantly?

we need to at least be told and shown we have people like us to latch onto. like i've become obsessed with Ghoulia Yelps from Monster High and want a doll(I Never buy Fashion dolls) because the character is obviously presented as autistic.

I gave a Roma kid my Scarlet Witch and Quiksilver figures and when I told them they had Roma heritage just like him he fell in love with them. When I tried explaining they cast white actors and covered up that bit of them in Age of Ultron, it was really depressing

These things matter. When you're sheltered or shielded from what it's like to exist on these intersections, it might look like clamouring for nothing. But all of these "offences" are taken for a reason. Representation is so very very valuable, you have absolutely no idea.
