cimorene: cartoony drawing of a woman's head in profile giving dubious side-eye (can he type?)

This, exactly.

how is it even humanly possible to miss the fact that the combination of being a mutant and his experience as a Jew during the Holocaust is the entire explanation for why Magneto is the person he is?

It just makes the whole issue so completely bewildering. Even if you're writing an AU where he wasn't traumatized as a child and didn't experience the Holocaust, it's - it's Magneto. I mean... it's Magneto! Come on, now. How do you come out of anything with apparently the vague mental impression that the main important adjectives necessary to capture his character are like 'sexy, gruff, German'? Yet that seems to be the thread running through all these failtastic AUs and prompts.

Also your backing is noted and I will be sure to offer her further encouragement.
