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...

I require an example of someone stating that x-men isn’t woke. I don’t believe anyone could avoid understanding that.
I saw a video of MAGA Republicans playing "Killing in the Name of" by RATM at an event while draped in the American flag.
Never underestimate the media illiteracy of conservatives. They kinda have to be media illiterate to be conservatives.
Ronald Reagan said he was a big fan of "Born In The USA." They don't have to listen to the lyrics to know what they like.
There's been a lot of... discourse... around the fact that, in the new Disney+ X-Men cartoon, Morph is going to be portrayed as nonbinary.
You can see a bunch of chuds raging about it if you go to YouTube and search for X-Men Woke
Mystique / Raven already transgendered into a bunch of dudes and back into a lady, in the X-Men movies years ago
Yeah, of course, which is why this is all so baffling. Or would be, if anyone still expected the Culture Warriors™ to have a single clue what they're talking about.
Also, in the comics, Mystique has been in a lesbian relationship with Destiny since the 80s, and Chris Claremont even planned at one point to have it revealed that Mystique had shapeshifted into a man and fathered Nightcrawler, with Destiny being his mom. That got nixed by the higher ups, but IIRC, the comics actually went back to that idea and made it canon recently.
Wow I didn't know she could grow a functioning boner.
A shape shifter being non binary makes as much sense as water being wet.
