if u havent watched the matrix yet u shld,, lotsa folks read it as an allegory for being trans so if u have watched it ill link you a video essay!! it makes me so angry that right wingers have coopted this movie sometimes istg! but that doesnt take away from how good it is
hi hello!! i have seen the matrix, although i was admittedly tiny at the time! nonetheless, i was/am able to love how wonderful the movie is! i did know that the creator(s) of the matrix (movie, not the simulation, i mean /j) are trans! i would love the video essay bc that sounds wonderful, and v. interesting! i have heard of red pill twitter (though only very little), and like the rest of twitter...it's......yeah.......but for me it doesn't take away how profound the movie is! thank you! i think mr.descartes would be very touched with this movie (pls tll me my philosophy is right and i dont sound ridiculous 😭) i would love to rewatch it though, since there's probably a lot i couldn't catch as a tiny! do you know where i can find it??? /gen
also i just realised this but apart from the metaphorical meaning of the pills, they could also symbolise choosing to embrace the reality of being trans and hormones but i could be wrong bc it has been awhile

i'm on an adventure to get as many recs as possible to get the most pop culture ever so i can add it to my every-day bucket list (a bucket list of every day things rather than like really big things), i take recs for any media - books, poetry, musicals, plays, movies, tv series, podcasts, music, scientific papers!! it doesn't really matter if it's niche or really popular!
tldr; lekarski is trying to get (pop) cultured
