Date: 2011-11-12 05:45 pm (UTC)Hope LECTURES Xavier on the true meaning of mutantcy to a man who has dedicated his life doing more than just about anyone to keep mutants alive for the past... Well, Lord knows how long in "real" MU time. -
Uh, she has a really solid point though, 'us vs them, gifted vs non' plagues the mutant community and is one of the barriers that they have in the present, and she doesn't approach it as 'teaching him the true meaning of mutantcy' either, which is kinda what I'm talking about, people are taking her speech pretty negatively despite her raising a rather legitimate point.
Is it just that she's saying it to Xavier which is the problem?

The tone IS important here, yes, Dani is more direct, but she's not telling Xavier that he's out of date. She's having an honest discussion with her therapist. She's also not saying that Logan and Scott are wrong, just that she doesn't agree with their choices.

Saying they're separated from the actual world is pretty darn harsh in my book.
