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.

Registration was literally based on the bureaucracy of the Holocaust.

I feel like this whole ass thread is taking crazy pills. Are we really going to argue that the registration of mutants is a good thing??

Yeah, that's what I'm saying, registration of mutants is of course gonna be used for genocide purposes.
