I haven't seen any recent examples of Spidey being loathed by the public when he shows up.

See, this is part of what doesn't make sense about the X-Men. Waaaaaaay back in the OG run, Magneto goes around fighting for "mutantkind" or whatever, and then somehow in later runs, the X-Men are magically lumped in with other mutants. Like, how in the hell did anyone even find out the X-Men were mutants in the first place? Secondly, why would anyone in the X-Men openly admit to being one if they knew they were just going to be ostracized?
Xavier literally makes a SECRET institute that moonlights as a school for gifted children, so it's obvious the X-Men and Xavier actively hide the fact they're mutants. So how did the X-Men ever get lumped into that hate and why do they even care? Most of them can literally just go about in plain sight. Plus, as a superhero team, look at the Avengers—no one really shits on them, and they've got all sorts of kooks working for them.
And as superheroes go, most superheroes hide their identities anyway, so most of the attention the X-men could get is nothing special for 99% of heroes. And if someone found out their "secret identities", then it's that persons own damn fault, and they're going to be facing the same consequences as any other hero whose identity is discovered.
The whole "us X-Men have to set ourselves apart" thing will never make sense, and it being a thing is just the writers coming up with some contrived excuse to push their narrative, no matter how flimsy it comes across.

So is every other superhero, sweety, they just don't cry about is as loud as you.
