"So do stories that depict Charles' disability as disgusting or unacceptable, or erase it completely." (...) "Now, we're not going to ask you to stop writing these stories..."
Either it's forbidden or it's not. You can NOT have it both ways and decide on a whim what's okay and what's not. Give us clear rules, not something that will allow you to do whatever you want, whenever you want. That's bad mod'ing. Either stand for the one or the other, no grey middle ground.
And why can't I write an AU fic where Charles does NOT get shot in the spine? So, it's okay to have Charles as a woman. To have him pregnant. To have him lose his telepathy. But it's NOT okay to have him walk?
Wow. No, really, just wow. What will be next? Charles can't be an intersex because it might hurt intersex people? Charles can't be a woman because it's misogynist towards the women who already exist in the movie? Erik can't have a happy childhood because it's hurtful towards Holocaust victims?
Newsflash, it's called ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. Wow, and I thought that the other comm's "no sex till 18" was nuts. This tops it.
