There's an ancient European fable about not being able to slay a dragon until it could be named. It's a metaphor for needing to have language to describe a problem before you can effectively deal with it. A perfect example is "simp". As far as I'm aware, before the popularization of that term there was no way to chastise men to stop giving money to e-thots. It is a lot easier to tell people to stop simping than to stop donating their money. Another example is "shit testing". Before I had that word, I just assumed women were being bitchy but until I understood the concept of shit testing, it was a bigger problem in my life.
Anyway, I don't want this to be a MGTOW post. The concept of "red pill and blue pill" and "waking up from the matrix" are EXTREMELY useful when talking about the establishment. Sure, there have always been metaphors that people used, even in the bible, but as far as I know, there has never been something so digestible by the mainstream. These days the redpill is such a ubiquitous concept even people who never heard of the matrix understand the concept.
I don't have any proof this is why the most successful pair of brother filmmakers of all time cut off their dicks, and started making garbage shows that don't have a message, other than that it's pretty strange to do that to begin with. My theory is they were deliberately brainwashed at fancy Hollywood parties to start taking hormone replacement therapy, because the establishment wanted to punish & prevent them from (maybe even accidentally) waking so many people up
yah. i thought it was very very odd that out of nowhere they were like "i decided to be a woman"
o.O heh?
one guys is odd, both is straight up nonsense
I miss the phrase "Wachowski brothers."
I don't know that it's out of nowhere because I read somewhere the androgynous one called Switch from the first Matrix was supposed to be one gender in the Matrix and another gender outside of it.
My personal conspiracy theory is only one of the brothers was mentally ill with this shit and the other one inhaled the fumes out of sympathy or solidarity or something.
Seriously? That is never mentioned in the movies.
I think this trans BS is just another laughable attempt to rewrite history.
IIRC the studio didn't allow them to do put that in. But they kept the name and made the character look androgynous.
The Switch thing makes sense. The whole trilogy being about trans people does not. The idea is that Switch switches from man to woman depending on where he/she is because there's residual self-imaging that is like making an avatar in the Matrix.
