I joined some bullshit conspiracy group on Telegram once. It was full of the usual right wing tripe, but one of the common things they complained about was the “globohomo” agenda. I loved this term. I can just picture GLOBOHOMO INDUSTRIES with an evil lair full of sexy buff henchmen trying to turn the moon into a rainbow or something.
This was a triumph. I’m making a note here, huge excess. It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction. Globohomo Science, we do who me must because we can. For the good of all of us, except the ones who are straight. But there’s no sense crying over every Miss Stake. You just keep on trying til you meet a beefcake. And the science gets done, and you make a neat gun, to turn people legibtaqua.
I figured that the name was intended as a rejection of attempts to convince the humans who thought that mutants were their enemies that they were wrong. “I won’t be your hero since you’ve treated me as a villain.” Or maybe a reference to how someone who seeks to embody Nietzsche’s master morality will be seen as a villain by those who don’t.
It’s because Magneto’s backstory as a Holocaust survivor came twenty years after his introduction and he just genuinely wanted to do some genocide because he was a eugenicist.
And, also, it’s a property for children and adults who grew out of the demographic can’t stop overanalyzing the overall plot of “bigotry is bad and so is political violence”
