"I'm afraid you are confusing the metaphor for the science fiction. In this case, she literally thought mutants were a disease, including herself."

"No, she didn't."
Uh-huh.
"You stated I said this as an "objectively good" thing when I didn't. "Objectively more interesting" is, however, the case. Again, just like Bucky is objectively more interesting now than he was before. Whether that's a good or bad thing is up to the individual, but, again, objectively, they are more interesting."
You also said it was silly to object to her being "objectively more interesting". That implies that it's better, meaning that it IS good. And, you know, "being interesting" is subjective too. Just ask a English lit professor and his bored student if they can agree whether the subject matter is interesting.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
