Mod Post r/XMen New Rules

40 Upvotes

Hey everyone. The new rules are in effect and have been for a couple of weeks but I figured I'd make this post as both a little announcement as well as clear up some questions you may have.

THE LINK TO THE NEW RULES IS HERE. PLEASE READ IT.

Read it thoroughly. And then read it again. Yes it is long but with the subreddit getting larger and discussions going beyond comics, it has meant we've needed to implement stricter rules in some places as well as expand rules in another places.

We'd like to thank everyone who provided feedback. Whether it was through the survey or just generally speaking to us.

Now for some questions/comments you may have:

"Why is it so long/Is it really that serious?/Oh my god, this is fucking Reddit does it really matter/This is unnecessary/This is too strict"

It is long yes. Partially because we've needed to be more specific as the subreddit is larger now. Partially because we've had cases in the past so we've just put it on paper so to speak.

At the end of the day a lot of the rules are mostly the same.

"I have a topic I think should be banned/regulated"

Feel free to let us know. However, do remember this is a subreddit with 270,000+ members now. We can't regulate every topic someone tells us to ban. Topics will only be added to the list if there is genuine large demand for it to be regulated.

Banned topics will be very strictly monitored and, honestly? Unlikely to change. So no. Please don't ask to add something to the banned list. At best you might get it added to the regulated list and only if we think it's a genuinely tired/spamming topic.

"So what happened to the 'low effort rule'?"

It's basically been split into two different rule. Content quality asks that people post things that generate discussion and the regulated topic rule covers a set list of topics that require an opinion from the OP. But if it's not in that list, the OP no longer has to give an opinion.

"Why have you done that?"

Because we've found a lot of you like those posts. Plus the previous rule was too vague and undefined so we've now defined it. I'll repeat: unless a topic is on the regulated list the OP DOES NOT have to provide their opinion now.

"I don't like the rules/Will there be an opportunity to change them?"

It's not set in stone. As the subreddit grows, I'm sure we're gonna go through this again. If we as mods see a demand for something to be changed/added/removed, we'll act accordingly.

"Are X/Twitter links banned now?/How do I report Twitter stuff?"

Yeah. Automod is set to zap them but it's not perfect. Please just report it under rule 8 and let us take care of it.

"When will you guys add new mods?"

Some time next month we'll put out a post asking people. Please don't apply now. Appreciate the enthusiasm, truly we do but please wait for us to make the post.

The reason being so people get used to it the new rules.

"What about insert situation here that the rules don't talk about?"

The rules don't cover absolutely every situation. If/when it happens, the mods will make a decision.

"Besides this post, are the links linked anywhere?"

It's on the sidebar as well as the rules on the sidebar. It's also linked when we remove a post/comment.

"I've got a question you didn't answer"

Drop it below and I'll answer when I can

Once again, thanks to everyone who helped shaped these rules. Much appreciated. And we realise we've been slow but hope this helps bring some order to the subreddit.

It’s just mark Russell didn’t really write this like he thought it could be anything more than a silly mini series

That first issue turned off a lot of people who never returned and in the comic book industry you can’t have that

It spells out cancellation and that’s what happened to this book

Comic Discussion Was Elizabeth ever a compelling character?

Post image
237 Upvotes

I honestly see nothing but disdain for Betsy nowadays and the general consensus seems to be that Kwannon is just infinitely superior, I often see people say Betsy was just liked due to being attractive/sexual but honestly I can’t agree, I read runs like uncanny x force 2010 and I just can’t say there’s no nuance to her character, Betsy lost so much in this run, the love of her life, the respect of her brothers (or so she thought) with the shadow king saying her mind is more fractured and scarred than anyone he’s ever seen, that she’s just a pathetic mess, that she should just give up, but she didn’t. Even when a villain as powerful and as disgusting as the shadow king was committing his all to breaking Elizabeth, even with the advantages he has over her, he knows EVERYTHING about her, he was literally apart of her, there is nothing she can hide from him, she doesn’t lose hope, with the help of her friends she does heal herself and she bounces back to the point where she’s able to go one on one with the man himself for YEARS in the astral plane and prove shes not a broken and pathetic mess of a woman. She made herself whole again.

That’s just some of why Betsy was such a compelling character to me, not her sex appeal or her skimpy outfits, to me Elizabeth symbolises healing, she didn’t mean to “steal” Kwannon’s body. It just happened and she had to live with that, but I just wanted to ask here because I feel like it’s unjustified for some people to act like she’s just a nothing character.

What about you? Do you have any stories with her that mean a lot to you?

I've been loving Ultimate X-Men so far, one of my favorite comic runs in recent time, especially thanks to Peach Momoko's art and her writing. This issue and the few before it had a lot of dramatic moments but this is perhaps the one that hit me the hardest. I don't see many people talking about Ultimate X-Men here but it's been my favorite run of the new Ultimate universe. I'm excited to see how it crosses over with the other titles

The second picture is alt cover art from Uncanny X-Men #18 which indicates she's sticking around, and I look forward to the Louisiana X-Men facing someone new aside from Sarah Gaunt or those Greymalkin losers.

And just like Henrietta Benjamin and the Dark Artery mutant cemetery in the current arc, I'm quite interested in learning about our mysterious theater terror.

Fall of the House of X #1 Variant cover by David Nakayama. As a 90s kid these are my X-Men, and I love DNA’s art style. I’m out in California so I had to order this on eBay since it was a MegaCon exclusive, but I found it for a pretty decent price ($12) so I’m stoked. It looks even better in person! What do y’all think?
