charles is wrong, emma is (not) right [or, i don't know how to use dreamwidth.]

its times like these that i understand the difference between "blogging" and "microblogging". the visual flavor of dreamwidth makes me feel like each post needs to be an event in a way tumblr does not. im not sure i knew how to use livejournal, in any personal capacity at least, because when i used it during my heyday it mostly just served as a place to host links to each chapter of my tween self's deranged beatles slash fanfiction (non-derogatory....formative. it built character, as calvin's dad would say).

that's neither here nor there though. what is here is me just reposting a thread i wrote on twitter about the similarities between (616) emma frost and charles xavier's philosophies re: The Mutant Plight, as well as their similar traumas. feels long enough that i don't feel strange posting it here.

its interesting when people declare "emma is right" in response to the "magneto or xavier" thing with the intention of implying that she is a radical other

because, if compared to (the false dichotomy of) magneto < — > xavier, emma is closer to xavier than she is magneto
