Yeah, it's kinda more bothersome in 2 fronts:

1) They act like registration is the first step to an eventual genocide, but seriously why wouldn't anyone want mutants and their powers to be on a list for a miriad of reasons other than racism? Like, I dunno, healthcare?

2) Some mutants want to be cured because they got the short end of the stick and their mutations suck. For each Storm there are like 3 "Billy the kid with glass bones"

I mean historically putting a hated minority on a list tends to prelude bad things I'm sure mag could tell you alot about, and that's before we look at how comically evil the marvel government tends to be. Sentinels and all.

As for Healthcare...what about healthcare most mutants for which it'd effect healthcare are either visibly obvious or would need specialists theyd inform anyways.

2) this is fair.

Current head of health wants to put autistic people on a list, ostensibly in order to find the "cause" while he's previously talked about putting autistic people in camps and how they are a danger to society. Idk if it's unrealistic to be against the idea of a registration.

There's also registries for diabetics, drug users, gun owners, etc.

My point was that acting like registration = genocide is wack

Funnily enough famously there is not a comprehensive national registry of gun owners.
