He wants to lessen restrictions and allow them more freedom wherever possible. Most of the current laws have been put through due to a panicked and fearful mass population's demands. Perhaps he made the easy choices but he is trying to be kind and fix things.<br/><br/>The Director of mutant operations is pro-mutant. He is keenly aware of the massive threat they possess, but he would far rather befriend them than fight them. He isn't there because he hates mutants but because he cares about the common man and wants to make sure America isn't torn apart by one person having a bad day.<br/><br/>Both Ambassadors care a great deal about mutants. Ms. Smith genuinely likes and respects the students at the school, finding time to speak with them/remember their names and is at her happiest when she's chatting with the students/teachers. Ms. Edwards spends a great deal of her time meeting with Magneto. A man who could kill her in a split second for many of the things she has to say. And yet she keeps doing it, and keeps trying to reach out to him.<br/><br/>Most of Weapon-X are not so kind, but they are not the ones 'In power'. Persuading people like Director Charleston that there are better methods could lead to him straying away from men like Stryker. Being aggressive to the Ambassador will mean Charleston hears that the school are not a reliable ally if they frequently take anti-Government stances. And so he will push more towards Weapon-X/Stryker. And men like Salvation will have more and more power. Rykers Island security will tighten. The President will stop meeting with Charles and begin to consider him a danger to society, just like Magneto. Like it or not that's how the world works. Sometimes you have to be the bigger people and be nice to those who have treated you unfairly. Because here the higher ups DO want to listen, unlike in any real life comparison people may be drawing. (Which I would prefer to steer away from, for obvious reasons)<br/><br/>In short this game is absolutely not about a political rebellion. It is about learning to co-exist and proving that fear has led to the wrong decisions being made.
