Keep in mind that the giant robots and demons and stuff attacking the X-men also kill mutants pretending to be normal folk. Being an X-man is safer than trying to pass.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
