I know you're all gonna read this and just be like "Jesus, fuck that Madin guy, they're still clearly a card carrying Brotherhood member" and 1) I'm not and 2) this is important.
I don't comment on social media much or anything but there's this one lady that's being going viral on tiktok lately. Her name is Ayame and she is fuuuuuucked. So the conservatives love her.
[embedded video of a woman speaking, saying "I realize that I ask much of my fellow mutants, but we must establish limits on those perceived to be limitless. Society can only function with boundaries and rules, and we must continue to work to find a way to be a part of it; to not press so hard against those markers as to disturb the peace."]
You don't have to agree with me but it's important that you know about this. People like her? They want us back in the box. Limited. Tame. They want us to be fully managed by humans so that we're never a threat.
We don't get mutant liberation by listening to what they have to say.

Trying to be respectable enough for bigots is a fool's game. The bigot has not used logic to come to their position, logic cannot be used to convince them otherwise. The most blandly inoffensive member of a hated subgroup will never be anything but a slur to bigots.
(this is not to say that bigots cannot change, but it takes much more than respectability and a logical argument)
