If you wanted safe stable women, the X-Men isn't the place to go looking.
Fuck stable, I'm more concerned about survival!
I never said "this is made by vanilla conservatives" just "made for the widest financially stable common American denominator" which has always been mostly white with a conservative lean. To this day what is considered center left in the US is seen as right leaning by most of the west like here in Europe. Besides, most of the edge that's been presented in superhero media are things that leave no visible marks so they can be written around like it never happened. Sadly both a goth fase and a life of prostituton fall in these ranks. But honestly that's getting well of topic of Rogue's Ass so let's move past that.
I do feel a need to point out that for most of the run of X-Men and many, many other titles, you had to get your entire book approved by the Comics Code Authority, a group of people who seemed to think that truly interesting characters or dealing with real-life issues is something you should NEVER expose children to. This was a group of censors, pure and simple. The industry started ignoring this "requirement" when whole lines and companies that ignored the CCA started outselling then, with story lines that many had wanted to do when they worked for Marvel or DC. Then, certain people decided that they wanted to be "edgy," and that's how you get some absolute shit like the original run of NYX. That's also when a LOT of other horrible story decisions were made by editorial staff, not the writers. Of course, you also had plenty of writers making questionable calls, but you also had solid stuff being done by people who hadn't worked much in the States, and knew how to write good books without the CCA guidelines.
Claremont wrote great stories, let his freak flag fly, and to keep the censors from even blinking at some of the outfits he talked the art department into by having the women in his titles constantly playing gay chicken. But he also truly did want some of the characters he had a hand in creating to be actually different, but knew it would never fly under the CCA. But to be absolutely clear on something: Under the CCA, goths and punks were only allowed to be villains, and NYX would never have been written.
