So in the latest installment of what won’t make MAGA throw a tantrum.
You must log in or # to comment.
That article took way too long to get to the fucking point that the character is nonbinary.
And I doubt most bigots even know about this cartoon existing. They didn’t even give an example.
So, is this journalism trying to make a problem where there is no problem?
Sure looks that way.
I guess if they keep us fighting amongst ourselves we won’t see them picking our pockets, and taking our rights.
Like always. They need conflict to gain views and wow investors.
Making one character not-straight means you’ll get tens of millions worth of advertising from the maga crowd and everyone laughing at them
For example, I didn’t know this show existed until I saw a post laughing at someone whining about it.
Maybe stick your head outside of the bubble for a second and you’d see conservative on social media complain about the trailer and Disney being woke again.
Which conservatives? Random assholes? Because your article gave no examples.
Also, telling someone to get outside of their bubble and go on social media is pretty amusing.
I watched the trailer when it came out and I’ve already got crap YouTube videos popping up in my feed by people like TheQuartering and Ednymiontv, while not your Ben Shaprio or Tim Poole douche canoes, they’re large YouTubers already complaining and yeah, you’ve also got other rando’s on twitter that are harping on this too.
And while the article I posted didn’t post specific examples, which yeah I admit they didn’t, I’m sure that you could have used basic internet search skill to see these examples. Just because you don’t seem to stick your head out to see this doesn’t mean it’s not there buddy, it’s just not spoon-fed to you.
So no one important or influential, just random assholes.
Why do you give a shit what random assholes think? Are they going to change the character to cis? No. They aren’t. So why does this matter?
Thanks for summary. I got bored in first paragraph and came to comments. Thx
Wait until they find out that an entire subtheme of the show is mutants discovering how to coexist with those who would have them subjugated for being different…
So a character that can literally change genders at will considers themselves to be nonbinary?
That’s… Completely logical.
Assigned non-binary at birth
Resident Comic Book Guy here…
Morph was originally introduced in X-Men #35 in 1967 under the name “Changeling”:

He took the appearance of Professor X and remained in the book until #42 (1968) where he was killed off as Xavier.

After bringing him back for the 1992 Animated series under the name Morph (“Changeling” was taken by DC comics for their human/animal shapeshifter), and the comic book adaptation of that series (where he is also killed off), the current version was introduced in 1995 as part of the “Age of Apocalypse” alternate timeline.

Morph is a mimic who can change his appearance to match anyone, male or female, similar to Mystique, who for years was assumed to have been Nightcrawler’s mother, but was recently revealed to have been his father (X-Men Blue: Origins #1)

Following 60 years of comics is pretty much a soap opera.
I’m thinking of the mechanics of a shape-shifter being pregnant… like, if they switched genders would the fetus just get stuck inside between organs and die, or would it cease to exist? Would the shape-shifter be able to take on a male outward appearance while maintaining a uterus? Or would they just not shift for 9 months?
Much simpler, I suppose, for the shape-shifter to father a child.
Questions we’ve been asking for thousands of years.

Mystique, who for years was assumed to have been Nightcrawler’s mother, but was recently revealed to have been his father (X-Men Blue: Origins #1)This is literally what South Park revealed in season two about Cartman’s father. The person we know as Eric’s mother was actually his father.
The whole premise of the show was the government persecuting those it didn’t like. They are only proving the point of the show.
For real though, why do bigots even like X-Men? It’s not even remotely subtle.
Getting mad at X-Men for being “woke” is just very, very very stupid and I don’t even want to throw justification as to why because it should be so obvious if you’ve even take one look at the media source that they’re effectively outing themselves as morons.
If you get mad at other franchises for revisionist inclusivity, whatever, but c’mon it’s X-Men, there’s no limits here.
They said the same for Star Trek. The cognitive dissonance is astonishing. It’s almost as if these fuckwads don’t read/watch the original source material and just need an excuse to hate on fictional characters that are depicted a certain way they don’t likd.
XY-men? XXY-men?
He can change his gender on a whim - of course he (or rather they?) would be non-binary.
Also, Mystique is Nightcrawler’s father, so it’s not exactly a new idea for mutant shapeshifters.

Bigot brains run on fear, insecurities, and anger. Makes them very easy to control if you have no ethics.
I like that they leaned into AoA/Exiles Morph’s look.
