Are You Out of Your Vulcan Mind?

I don’t know about anybody else, but I understand this reaction completely.

I have one sister and two brothers, and like anyone who lives with others for an extended amount of time - accidental walk ins happen all the time.

It does not, however, keep me from wanting to claw my eyes out any less though.

I know how Charles gets a lot of shit for his treatment of Raven, and this particular scene is mentioned quite a bit, but I don’t see this as him rejecting Raven’s mutation.

All I see is an older brother being highly uncomfortable with his little sister’s nudity. Which is, IMO, normal.

THIS. THIS ALL OVER. I get really annoyed whenever I see Charles getting so much stick over this. I know I wouldn’t be comfortable if my brother or sister waltzed into the kitchen naked, blue scales or not. He is not trying to oppress her mutation, he’s awkward because his sister is stood there nekkid.

very much agreed. Charles is the most privileged, ignorant of that privilege, cocky and self-centered of the mutants we meet in First Class, and he proves that quite often throughout the film, but this wasn’t one of those moments. it was just his brain going, “OH GOD, NAKED SISTER IN KITCHEN, ABORT ABORT.”

#charles is kind of a douche in first class but not because of this moment #DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE SHIT HE PULLS THOUGH DO /NOT/ GET ME STARTED #charles you douche shut up and make out with erik and save us all the headache JEEZ

It’s kind of weird that a telepath WOULD MANAGE TO ALWAYS SAY THE WRONG THING (really Charles just following orders to a holocaust survivor?) but I have to agree that this was some classic sibling shit.

For realsies, I have seen my little brother’s naked ass more than I am fully comfortable with (look if you want to sleep nude that’s fine but close your fucking door you philistine) and this is my reaction every time.

Unfortunately, to Raven it probably felt like a slight or that he was disgusted with her because he wasn’t very good about making her feel comfortable in her own skin on other occasions.

Oh Charles. I want to pat your little cheeks and then possibly slap you.
