Being an Old Man and a Mutant gives you a free pass in eyes of the Media.

Brayden Jackson
He's Jewish so it's okay
Alexander Bennett
Because everyone forgets that he made a self fulfilling prophecy with his predictions about mutant genocide when he tried to steal nukes.
Bentley Russell
he isnt trying to genocide them, hes trying to rule them bc he thinks if mutants dont, they humans will try to kill them or abuse them like nazis did the jews. he feels like its inevitable that humans will try to destroy something different and more powerful so they need to get a head start and win early.
once some of his people stop him, he pivots to isolationism, vengeance when fucked w, and occasional attempts to take over bc he knows and everything in his past leads him to believe humans are rats who will imevitably attempt to kill and abuse the different etc.
the genocide is incidental to his plans once things get crazy but og magneto isnt an extermination type. hes trying to head off the genocide.
up to you whether you agree w him or xavier, but the fact that they fought each other ensured theyd both fail. one of them should have conceded to the other and let him try his way first
Brayden Sanchez
I'll just wait for Mossad to kill myself for me, thanks.
Adam Robinson
Excuse me? Magneto is nowhere near as sympathetic as DOOM. Holy shit, have you read the last comic when he becomes omnipotent? This time he uses his newfound powers to kill Stan Lee and then when he loses these poeers he says he found it beneath him. So powerful. Pretty much the apex of fiction.
Owen Powell
Literally a Mossad agent, alongside Kitty Pryde, underminding mutant superiority for Israel.
Genosha was an inside job, Apocalypse delayed things because it turns out he's Yahweh, so now they don't know what the fuck they're doing.
That taken into account, I'm still waiting for them to go balls deep into the whole so if he's god, then at some point he sired Jesus, right?
Kevin James
a) he's a Jewish holocaust survivor
b) he's old
c) he's fighting for a people long oppressed and abused
d) shift in narrative away from black and white muh evil boner to more nuanced motivation
e) history is his side of the debate
Samuel Reyes
He's unironically right. In every single future we've seen, mutants have been literally genocided. It's not wrong to fight to preserve your life and your race.
Connor Long
It's about a cautionary tale of becoming just like what you hate or those who've wronged you.
Austin Torres
Either way you will die like the scum that you are.
Hudson Edwards
silly user, humans aren't people
therefore the superior mutant race has the right to murder them

>willing to genocide billions on the basis of thinking he's part of a superior species
There's your mistake.
Robert Rogers
Too bad that most writers have forgotten that fact for the past 20 years.
Cooper Robinson
Cause blinds him to hypocrisy, basically.
He's got a sympathetic reason for wanting to crush humanity since he sees himself to be a victim of prejudice. But he's so driven by the endgame of being the superior species in the interest of protecting his kin that he can't see that extermination of any population makes him no better than what he fights.
Oliver Morris
is he still a holocaust survivor? arent all the survivors dead now?
Asher Perry
I don't know if they'll ever drop that from his character. It's too tightly tied to his message and it remains the only way that his actions can maintain an undercurrent of understanding to the audience.

The mutant-human “conflict” is a meme, x-men is ultimately really about pathologies. Magneto for example is a narcissist and latent sadist, that’s his real “struggle”.
Bentley Smith

Adrian Morris
Because the "billions" he wants to "genocide" are saying "destroy all mutants." The guy is trying to preserve his own life and the lives of other minorities. If humans would leave mutants alone, he'd have no problem with them, but that's not the case and never will be the case.
Josiah Richardson
They'll probably give him a second mutation that makes him live longer
Christian Martin
Michael Martin
He has the advantage of seeing what happens when bigots like the Nazi party gain power. He's sympathetic because while most people cannot agree with his methods, they know that they agree with his cause, to kill Nazi fucks and their associated modern off-shoots.
Magneto just underlines the importance of pulling fascism out by the root. Once it becomes a part of a culture, it's only a matter of time until the concentration camps and mass murder/famine begin.
Tyler Bailey
He was deaged twice. It's not Marvel's fault that people are stupid.
Joshua Young

That't should be the case.

>Antifa
Antifa would also be pointing at anyone who isn't Antifa and attacking them, claiming they are Nazis.
Journalists? Nazis
Jews? Nazis
Hispanics? Nazis
NAZI NAZI NAZI NAZI NAZI FASCIST REEEEEEEE says the Ultimo libtardo
Ian Reed
I get it, though. If he can't fall back to "it happened to me and it'll happen to you unless we do something about it" as his tent-pole then why isn't he adopting Charles' point of view that humanity and mutants can't enjoy peace? The only reason he can't get along with Prof. X is because Charles wants a world of understanding and Magneto thinks that's delusional.
Dominic Foster

Sorry.
Jayden Jenkins
Underrated post. Thank you user, that was beautiful.
Jose Stewart
He literally tried to nuke humans hoping it would not only kill them but create more mutants.
He's genocidal.
David Carter
There are plenty of more recent genocides to use. The only reason why they aren't used instead is that they mostly involve brown or yellow skinned folks getting killed so your average yank doesn't give a fuck about them.
Lucas Wilson
The fact that this guy is allowed to not only join the ranks of the X-Men, but has led them on numerous occasions is one of the main reasons why I’m not an x-fag, those characters are just a bunch of hypocrites but they are written as if that’s totally okay and not really the case
Owen Fisher
He's a kike so he gets a free pass just like Israel.
