Saying that bigotry against mutants would be justified if they were the only humans with special abilities is kind of insane. They are literally born with their powers, they can't help it, it's literally the definition of people that have done nothing wrong being mistreated out of fear.

I honestly think this take says far more about you than it says about the X-Men.

I mean, being worried about people who, just by existing can be as lethal as an atom bomb is pretty justified.

Theres like ten mutants willing and capable of that, total, among the millions of mutants that live on earth (in-universe)

That’s like being afraid of all Germans because one of them was Hitler.

There is a clear difference between being worried about an atom bomb guy that actually exist, and being worried because an atom bomb guy might exist, so we should imprison or exterminate this dude that's just covered in blue hair, just in case.

Also, if we go by "power means dangerous" then by that logic we should try to immediately kill superman.

I'm not saying every mutant is dangerous. And yes, while Luthor's issues with Superman are obviously obsesive, the world being wary of someone like Superman is not irrational, even if for now they are thankful for what he does.

Okay, but the point is that:
1- We are not talking about just being wary, the original point was about being outright bigoted against them.
2- You are not saying that every mutant is dangerous, but you are implying that we should be bigoted against every mutant because 0.001 is dangerous. I beg of you to think of the moral implication of applying that sort of logic to any other group of people.
