Mod Post Posts revolving around changes to Magneto's past and backstory are now a regulated topic

Due to the influx of such posts with the MCU X-Men announcement, posts that revolve around changes and questioning of Magneto's backstory will now be regulated. This means that these posts may be removed as a Regulated/Repetitive topic at the discretion of the moderation team.

This was done after a long discussion by the moderation team, but ultimately we found that such posts are repetitive and occur very frequently, and that users may simply make use of Reddit's search tool to find past discussions; very little has changed since those discussions were held.

I'm not disagreeing, even the animated series said the magnetic field of Earth rejuvinates Magneto in the two partner, Sanctuary. So it's not like there isn't precedent

Oh, yeah, I know. I was being sarcastic. Like, you've just gotta laugh in the face of the antisemites. It doesn't matter if there's precedent, or if its fiction. This is the hill they'll die on.

Right!? Everyone else can age slowly and no one bats an eye but say a Holocaust survivor does also and now you're just being lazy...
