Amazon says 40k iz not diverse enough for da masses

That was about LGBQT+.

For Civil Rights he directly said otherwise.

And two years later in 1968, in a Stan’s Soapbox column, Lee made his most explicit statement yet on civil rights and acceptance:

“Let’s lay it right on the line. Bigotry and racism are among the deadliest social ills plaguing the world today,” he wrote in December 1968. “

“I loved that idea,” Lee told the Guardian in 2000, as the first X-Men movie hit theaters. ”It not only made them different, but it was a good metaphor for what was happening with the Civil Rights Movement in the country at that time.”

"It came along the minute I thought of the X-Men and Professor X. I realized that I had that metaphor, which was great. It was given to me as a gift. Cause it made the stories more than just a good guy fighting a bad guy.

He's said it more often than not so I'm going to go with this common sense and direct words from Stan himself. And even if it wasn't, so? It's about overcoming hate, prejudice, and bigotry. Fighting for equal rights, and bigots trying to kill them or make laws against them. At times an apartheid or slave like states of Genosha.

Also, and more importantly, the creator of X-Men 97' goes even further in these progressive statements.

Anyway, none of this is what makes 97' good. It's the writing, animation, and directing. Not how woke or anti-woke it is.

The second quote was not the first. The first one regarding the civil rights movement reads as follows.

At one point in the interview, Lee said, “Now, take the X-Men. I was just originally trying to get an interesting group of characters with interesting powers and I thought it would make it twice as interesting if the public didn’t really like them that much and if they had a worry about their reception by the outside world.”

He continued, “Little by little I began getting mail saying how great it is that I’m doing these stories about bigotry and the evils of bigotry and so forth and race hatred. And I guess I was doing that, but I was doing it subconsciously. That wasn’t the main purpose.”

It's pretty clear what happened. Stan just wanted to make a story with cool characters and when he was praised for telling these stories that resembled the " civil rights" movement he ran with it but that was never his intention. So the poster that said it was " created to help the civil rights movement " has no clue what he's talking about.

Overcoming hate and prejudice doesn't make something " woke". That has nothing to do with it. When the right refers to " woke" content it means putting modern leftist ideologies at the center of the experience at the expense of everything else. X-Men 97 doesn't do this. Hate and bigotry is not exclusive to the right. For an example It's young leftist who need a lesson about " Genocide being bad" as they are calling for all out extermination of Jews ( I don't think Magneto would be a fan).

'X-Men '97' Executive Producer Beau DeMayo Reveals Series' Story Is Informed By His Experience As A Black Gay Man.

Thats nice he can say whatever he wants but the reality is as someone who read X-Men all throughout the 90's he is just adapting existing stories from Chris Claremont... and doing it pretty accurately with no extra agenda.... which is why it's actually good. Regardless he's already been fired 🤣

I do actually. It's often seen as an allegory to prejudice. However I'm not sure how that would justify race swapping existing characters are going against established lite which is what we're talking about here.

Alot of Centrist Youtubers are siding with the gamergate 2.0 crowd because leftist game journalists and many developers are bat shit insane. At some point you have to look at reality. A quick social media search on some of the people making games shows these are not well adjusted, normal human beings.
