>I don't have a problem with gay subtext, but it comes in two varieties. There's the fun kind, like in every Sherlock Holmes show that's come out since Jeremy Brett died, and then there's the kind where it's an actual metaphor, like in X-Men. X-Men, it works there, because of the themes of civil rights and oppression.
Speaking as an actual black man, I think it would be perfectly reasonable for the public and government to worry about black people if we could randomly develop the ability to shoot lasers out of our eyes uncontrollably and be on five super-teams at once.
Though it does make me wonder what happens if Cyke ever needs to buy prescription sunglasses.
