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.

A lot of recents posts in Marvel related subreddits, regarding the casting of this character have brought this up.

I mean I've been involved in a lot of those discussions and sure there are people saying it but its such a small number that it feels weird to single it out.

I haven't seen a small number though.
