If "Magneto is Right" is an acceptable sentiment, so is "Eren ir Right". If Isayama is problematic for making the world so genocidal towards the heroes, the same goes for X-Men writers.

Magneto, whom, after suffering at the hands of humankind, decided that he would protect his oppressed people no matter what, even if the lives of everyone outside of his people was the price to pay.

Eren, whom, after suffering at the hands of humankind, decided that he would protect his oppressed people no matter what, even if the lives of everyone outside of his people was the price to pay.

To like one of those is considered acceptable, natural even. To like the other is problematic, a telltale sign that you might be an incel edgelord.

Maybe the antagonic reactions to what is in essence the same situation can be explained by external factors. Isayama, author of AoT, creator of Eren, stands as a problematic figure for those who see AoT as a dangerous work. His decision to portray the world at large okay with the extermination of Eldians is evidence of his sinister worldview. Yes, Eren attacked a world that wanted to see him and all his people dead, but Isayama CHOSE to make the situation like that. He CHOSE to create the circumstance that made Eren's decision appear nearly inevitable. People are, thus, justified in looking at Isayama negatively, as his choice of narrative allows us to peek at the type of person he is.

Well, doesn't things go the same way in X-Men comics?

Isn't humanity portrayed as maniacs whose only desire is to see the extinction of mutants? People that will gloat as 16 million people are exterminated in under an hour, savages that will literally carry pitchforks and torches in modern day New York while hunting a kid whose power is to glow in the dark, sadists whose hatred runs so deep that even when mutants stopped being born and their number fell to below 200 they did not give up their hatred, eager to see that number go down to zero?

If anything, humankind in the X-Men comics is even more hateful than the one in AoT. Shouldn't that choice of narrative be as much of a target for criticism as Isayama's? Shouldn't X-Men writers be judged the same way for making that choice?
