The whole racist Mutant supremacist, sex cult, thing is not what I what I wanted from those comics nor is it as new and radical as Hickman thinks it is. I can't wait for THAT button mash.
Wait, what? I haven't exactly read many X-Men comics, and I know they can get crazy stupid at times (Pope Nightcrawler and exploding holy wafers anyone?), but sex cult? I mean, granted I think mutant racism would vanish the moment most straight men and lesbians set eyes on Rogue, Psylocke and the rest of the X-Women, and we all know the ladies love them some Wolverine, but a Sex Cult? That sounds like something out of an erotic fanfiction, not an official comic.
And yeah, mutant supremacist doesn't sound too out there, wasn't that kind of how Magneto was characterized under a few writers ? Same for Fabian Cortez?
You need to read the current Krakoa-verse X Men titles, it is pretty bad. And yes, it involves Xavier and MAgneto and Apocalypse and literally every mutant villain except Mystique but only because her wife burned the wrong person alive, in a Krakoan sex-cult which involves kidnapping and brainwashing mutant kids in the name of mutant utopia, and illicitly drugging the entire human population under the pretence of distributing some sort of panacea but not disclosing the side effects. Not to mention the gross violation of national borders and sovereignty that would make even W Bush's CIA say they'd gone too far. It is pretty gross. Oh, and Wolverine, Cyclops, and Jean are explicitly in a threesome marriage.
I think you're reading in something that isn't there with the drugs because the vibe I'm getting isn't that their are some dangerous side effects, but that the drugs themselves exist to stifle development because they are a panacea
That is still a side effect, and withholding that knowledge still violates the principles of informed consent. Not all side effects are physical, and that is where medical ethics comes in.
