It’s a story about how mutants live. Not just as people, but as a People. It’s mischievous and sarcastic and a looong way from being holy. It’s a book about ethics and culture and growing fungus out of your own brain. It’s a book about rituals and thrills, sexy times and casual death. Above all it’s about Shared Ideas, in all their terrible beauty, and what they can do to the minds, hearts, and souls of the communities adrift on their tides. -- Si Spurrier

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

Like in that allegory I made.

"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.
