No, see it was meant as a threat.
Yeah. People often try interpret creative works in unique ways that the author didn’t intend. Doesn’t make the experience and impact on the reader/viewer any less important.
Speaking with Them: Wachowski clarifies her previous comments, explaining that The Matrix was not intended to be a trans allegory when it was in production. While she acknowledges the movie’s strong trans themes, she says the ideas came about naturally, without intention on her or co-director Lana Wachowski’s part. Check out what Wachowski had to say below:
No, I didn’t [confirm The Matrix is a trans allegory].
Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.
Yeah, with all the decisions we made with that film, there’s just this burbling transness simmering below everything. So when I look back at the way that we cast those two parts, I can see how obvious it is that they’re one part in a lot of ways; that they’re two sides of the same coin. It’s not like these were conscious decisions, but more like we’re finding our way instinctively as these two closeted trans women. So all those things that your receptors are buzzing about are completely valid. When people say, “Oh, it’s a trans allegory,” it’s like, “Yeah… it is, but we weren’t like, Hey, let’s write a trans allegory.” That’s not how it started. We were like, “Hey, let’s write this action film,” and then we got our trans all over it. [laughs]




AI upscale always looks trash. It’s so obviously bad.


Final Destination, but it keeps chasing the protag through multiple reincarnations

This one is a bit difficult. When I looked it up, it showed low chance of AI, but I tried only on tool.
Trying to reverse image search it, is just a shit ton of people sharing the same image across different sites. I wasn’t able to actually nail down where it came from either.
Thanks for that link. Bookmarking it to use later.
Edit: tools to check

What’s annoying is when you get different results from these tools. The first one seemed to be more reliable, but it’s like are you relying on AI to detect AI? This shit always bugs me


More of a Last in, First Out situation with a growing backlog I need to offload.
Tho sometimes there’s ones I just keep cause idk, remember a relevant meme for a situation is somehow my shitty superpower


I’m in the process of redistributing my memes of production

Here, this is the best I got for you. Tried to find what you wanted, couldn’t, made this instead in like a few minutes on mobile.






I mean, I do save stuff, but rarely organize it. The only stuff I hold on to really and keep organized is just King of the Hill anime edits. Don’t ask why, cause I don’t know.


I really do need to empty out my camera roll. A lot of its work related, but there’s certainly no shortage of dumb stuff I need to clear out and plan to

Adorable things
