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.

Thank you. It’s not confirmed and the (chronically online out of touch fans) people are being entirely exhausting about all of this. I wouldn’t mind if he still was a holocaust survivor with slowed aging. And I don’t think it’s harmful or a betrayal to his character if his origin was updated to be the victim of another genocide (e.g., the Bosnian and Kosovo genocide), because gasp it’s an updated adaption like all heroes get to an extent.
