Emmatony nation how do you feel about canon sapiosexual Emma frost

Okay I saw this message on Wednesday and didn't get a chance to read IIM 13 until today, but I still was not prepared for this:

Like I thought maybe she'd say something like "I'm only attracted to intelligent minds," not literally, "I'm a sapiosexual, Anthony."

So, first of all, it's HILARIOUS, and we all know that's the #1 criterion on which I am grading this Duggan run, so no objections there!

On another note, Emma and sexuality is a complicated topic. She's been in multiple relationships that were abusive/sexually exploitative (her high school English teacher, Shaw) and she for a long time used her sexuality as a weapon and a way of controlling others rather than as an expression of her own self and her own desires. And given how she uses her body to control/influence others, she probably does think that being like sexually attracted to other people's bodies is a weakness. And therefore she is not attracted to other people's bodies, she is only attracted to their minds. It makes a lot of sense for her as a character.

So that's what I think! How's everyone else feeling on the subject?
