She was fun to write. Laura didn't even know what dating was but she's seen and done some traumatizing shit so she quickly begins second guessing herself.
Kitty was raised by loving parents in suburbia with expectations on how a loving relationship should function.
This is why Laura's reality falls apart and Kitty denies that reality is even happening.
Laura lacks life experience, she's not naive.
Kitty is both naive and lacks life experience.
Marvel can't allow this stuff to be published because they need to return to the status quo.
We got to see SOME of it during Claremont's run such as a 13/14 year old Kitty not understanding why she and an 18 year old Colossus couldn't date because she was in
WUV!
That however was before Secret Wars. Suddenly characters stopped aging, they stopped developing, marriages stopped happening or they got undone, they stopped having trauma that they needed time and reflection to work through.
Now the Status quo only changes once in a generation so things seem "fresh" and they can trick newer readers into thinking that they did naturally develop.
The whole launch of Carol becoming Captain Marvel, Jane Foster becoming a Thor, Kate Bishop taking over the West Avengers from Hawkeye, Venom's origin being rewritten once a decade.
For us, and the reason this rant isn't off topic, is that we will not ignore the characters developing and changing as people based on their experiences. Again I'm a psychologist and my job will be helping the writers understand the effects on the mind when you condense 30 years of comics into a narrative taking place over a period of 5 years.
Honestly we would LOVE to make a SFW game that was more of an X-Men life sim where we didn't need to make all the girls dateable so you could experience the comics more accurately.
Be a big brother to a 13 year old Kitty, help Colossus come to terms with his sister going from 6 to 16 in like 30 seconds. Teach Scott to not be a dumbass and to treat his relationship to Jean more seriously. Be a role model to the New Mutants.
There'd be some room for romance but it wouldn't be the entire roster and the best part is that we have dozens of people who'd absolutely love that...
The problem is:

We have over 4,000 people in our discord, and likely more people here on f95 that don't comment in this thread, and less than a hundred contribute financially. If we didn't have sex in our game, we'd have even less money contributed to the project.
