Current Events > I wish 'The Matrix' had never been made

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why right-wing douchebags have glomed onto this film and use it as the basis for literally everything they promote is beyond me, but it's getting fucking old and I wish the film never was made
>_>

Its kind if funny considering what it is a metaphor for.

It's also kinda funny considering who the movies creators are.

This likely isn't true and was said way after the fact.

there were absolutely discussions about the trans parallels before the sequels even came out. unfortunately, the "everything on the internet is forever" axiom turned out not to apply very well to forum posts.

There are people who refuse to accept that Star Wars was a Vietnam War allegory when the third film straight up has forest people fighting technologically advanced invaders.

George Lucas openly stated its a Vietnam War allegory in multiple interviews.

If it is indeed a trans allegory, so is Final Fantasy IX. Which btw, has way more evidence than the vague cherry picking in the original Matrix.

American History X table scene is used by nazis lol.

it is known they aren't smart.

Not sure how FF9 and the Matrix are connected in this way, but ok?

My point is that there's more evidence that FF9 is a trans allegory than The Matrix, and yet it still isn't.

I've seen people wonder if the Matrix is real for 20 years. But until Andrew Tate, I didn't know it had anything to do with politics. I don't think every Matrix person is alt right. Just the ones who think Andrew Tate is Neo

It's been a theory for decades that our entire universe is a simulation

There have always been paranoid people who latch onto these things. When The Truman Show came out, there were people who thought that was happening to them as well.

<_<

What right wing people use it exactly...?

i'm convinced they do it on purpose. take art made by people who they know don't agree with them, and twist it to use against them.

seriously, go listen to right-wing talk radio for a couple days, and pay attention to what music they use.

more seriously, don't actually listen to right-wing talk radio. it's not worth the price you'll pay.

Great movie. Goofballs don't ruin it for me.

the term "red pilled" was coopted by misogynistic trash that tend to lean right long before Tate came around, pretty common knowledge

Red pill started as a means to mock people like that. But in their utter incompetence they took the meme used to mock them as their mantra. It isnt that they think the movie is real but rather they are now aware of the grand scheme against them. Or woke as they like to say about liberals.

-Garnet is her/his deadname
-Dagger cuts her/his hair to suit more of the male gender
-Dagger spends most of the game being uncomfortable with male advances, particularly Zidane
-During Dagger's transition, he/she goes through a deep depression where mentioning the deadname turns him/her away

There's also Quina, who is flat out supposed to be gender ambiguous. Garnet must travel "through the swamp and tunnel", in order to get to the light on the other side. Which brings Garnet to the tree of life, which brings the motivation to assume the true identity of Dagger. Quina's marshlands is a metaphor for the confusing and sometimes dark transition period that brings light and life on the other side.

The game also centers around the theme of identity crisis, where Zidane and Kuja suffer from not being able to identify with themselves. Kuja in particular, who may have more obviously been a symbol of transgenderism. Freya as well, who was the only female in her army and never felt like she was a woman but rather a man, which was made more exposed when Freya's BF left her.
