Is really fucking stupid and a cancer in SciFi and Fantasy
They are maneating solo predators in the better cases, and parasitic group hunters in the worst. The best you can do is establish nature reserves. Unless there is a cure. But often times in fiction, there just isn't a cure available.
"But they LOOK human and can talk" That just results in mass executions for the vampires and werewolves in sane, civilized societies that haven't disappeared up their own assholes thanks to their own baggage. And goblins and what not getting treating like vermin. And gassed.
You know what? I'd reckon that the reason so many fantasy verse's, and a few Scfi's, have a strong consistency of there being a hard line of good and evil "species", and there being explicitly zero presence of an "Orcish Rights Advocates" is because most of them take Gary Gygax/1st 4 episodes of Goblin Slayer as the general guideline. Some species are Evil, period, and some people are Evil, period, and while this doesn't mean Good people are perfect, its such a hard and settled thing that everyone who blunders into the woods thinking "If only someone helped these poor creatures, like a white woman in the ghetto in an 80s/90s movie" all died. All of them. The unfortunate ones turned to slaves.
And this just keeps happening until everybody who isn't "turian finger quotes" bigoted "turian finger quotes" is dead and fails to pass on their genes and fails to pass on their ideas to the next generation. And everybody who fails to keep a lid, or allows anybody who wants to allow the use of the Evil races as labor or just let them in, also dies. Because it turns into Haiti, every time. And not just the first genocidal part either, the 2nd part where they enslaved the Dominicans before getting fought off and driven to a side of the island. Every 'missionary' is slaughtered. There is no baptism, there is no subduing them. Its always, permanent war.
Because the Evil species are always Evil, and there is no cohabitation or sing a longs. Its not like human beings of various colors and sizes. And its not like humans and domesticated animals.
"But Half Orcs are good a lot of the time" Yeah, because the awful as shit ones just get abandoned or killed for being fucking animals while young.
Now as far as the X Men stuff goes, its among the best examples of the core premise destroying any comparison with real world minority issues. 1st, the super powers because I don't recall a chromosome getting bent suddenly making me shoot lasers beams directly out of my anus whenever I shit or fart, 2nd, any and every random human mating has a chance to produce a wildly different being compared to its biological parents. So the hate has some invincibly strong foundations on pure logic, and other foundations nearly as strong based on emotion.
Remove the super powers, and then you just have a story about people born with birth defects.
Q99 once posted a thread, which got a lot of fucktards supporting it, about how mutant super powers aren't that big a deal. There was no reasoning in that thread, none. Just a bunch of "hey guys, lets be nice".
But in this case? They are. They definitively ARE. They aren't humans with mild shading differences, they are different species, all of which actively infiltrate a host society, at least two do so to engage in predation, and the others to engage in parasitism.This "insane political correctness", in a civilized society, is what is commonly called justice.
If you didn't want to get reported and consequently infracted, you shouldn't have used disgusting, bloodsoaked, and utterly barbaric terms like "lesser races" and "higher species" in the same exact way a British/American racist would justify putting the black/Irish/Japanese/*insert other undesirable nation here* people into ghettoes or concentration camps:

"But but, we can totally use them as a metaphor for real life issues, even though that gets really dumb and backfirey!" X-Men was a dumb metaphor from the start, and only got dumber as time went on. Tru Blood took its AIDS metaphor to a point that it portrayed vamps as actively seeking to spread the disease and suffering out of spite.It's a thread about werewolves and vampires.
But nothing. "But it sounds bad" is not an argument.Yes, but:
But PC culture is addicted to using these things as metaphors, regardless of how little it makes any fucking sense.A thread discussing fictional monsters cohabitating an area with humans starts devolving into infractions & bans because people are being reported for racist dogwhistles, THAT'S why people hate PC culture.
