Mutants live in a world where non-mutants also have superpowers. I don't know if this is a commentary on how bigotry makes no fucking sense.
They try to square this circle constantly and it never really works out
Like, Marvel once tried the angle of
Nobody is scared of the Avengers and the Fantastic Four because they have PR teams, but mutants don't so they're fair gameBut the Avengers have had mutants on their team multiple times and THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE THING is that people are kind of scared of him which just reinforces his self-loathing!
most of the good mutant rights kinda stories (that i've heard of anyway) aren't during the big crossover events so in an additional bit of incoherence they often aren't actually considering that at all in the plot.
It's something I realized when I thought how nobody thinks Spiderman is some mutant with spider powers even though he lives in a universe where mutants exists with comparable powers to Spiderman or how the newspaper editor dude (I forget his name) doesn't once call him a mutant even though the easiest way to turn the public against Spiderman would be to tap into the mutantphobia that's rampant within the Marvel universe.
