"There's dozens of mutants who accidentally became threats to people around them when their power manifested. Hell, in the TV series Storm would occasionally have a fit because of her claustrophobia and she was fully trained. When you've got people with the powers to move continents but are still capable of even accidental mass slaughter, humanity has a big fucking problem.[...]
Meanwhile, supervillains are threats because they choose to be and have entirely different causes other than 'being born'. And hey, they DO have a solution for supervillains; people like the Avengers."
That's not meta-logic, you said that mutants are threats because they are born that way and their powers can manifest unpredictably. Metahumans/mutates must first gain their power from an external source (radioactive spiders, cosmic radiation, generalized technology) and don't share the same problems.
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.
