>and people cherry-picked a few out of context panels from these issues,
It is exactly like the Rogue story. People cherry pick a story without understanding the context around it. Some characters get paired together as odd ones out because other people are being used for stuff. These odd ones out get turned into something else entirely by the revisionists. Rogue must have been picked on purpose? It isn't like the other X-Men women aren't hot too!

I mean look at the bottom of that page I posted, Bobby is upset that his father is misremembering a partner of his called Opal. Bobby dated Opal. The implication of that panel is that Bobby's father is being a bit offensive too in not remembering her name because it is odd. Opal was also Japanese and we know Bobby's father is a big bigot.

In the storyline of pic related, Opal has a baby and Bobby thinks it could be his. The baby is held hostage and later Bobby recuses the baby but finds out it isn't his but Opal was also dating another man who looked similar to Iceman. I guess according to revisionists he had regrettable sex with Opal or something because he was still working things out.
