I disagree. There are definitely people who would be “you just need to control it, no need to change it”. Which is why Storm is portrayed like that. It's a lack of empathy.

I suppose it depends on how the scene puts delivered. If it is portrayed as a lack of empathy or just understanding, then yes I absolutely agree it's realistic. If it's portrayed as an empowering moment, that's where we run into issues.

From distant memory, it was the latter, but I'm trying to find clips that put it in context. Let me know if you find one.
