"Red Pill" has already become a meme. You can't kill a meme with some washed-up sequel that no one will remember.

Yes but the left can't meme, they don't get it.

Puts me in mind of how the Pepe creator tried to 'rehabilitate' Pepe after Hillary Clinton branded him a neo-nazi hate symbol

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

"Okay, you alt-right nazi trolls. You can no longer use Red PIll / Pepe. It's ours now!"

Ironically turning commonplace memes into neo-nazi hate symbols is the best way to get normalfags to stop using them

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

Of course. That makes these memes problematic, and you don't want to be accused of being problematic on social media.

The only reason they're doing a new Matrix movie is to try and ruin the "red pill" as a metaphor used by the right wing groups to describe waking up to globalism. Pretty sure the first thing the Wachowski trannies will do is say that the "pill" is actually a metaphors for trooning out and that the "red pill" is in fact what you choose when you want gay sex in the Matrix or something like that. "Teehee, triggered the right, owned the right, now we can just flop this pile of garbage into the ground!"

They've already pushed the "Ackchyually, The Matrix was an allegory for trooning out" retcon in interviews, so it's unavoidable that they'll do it in the new movie, especially since they even have a blue-haired dyke among the supporting cast.

Fucking LOL, I'm morbidly curious now, guess I'll have to track down those interviews.

If it's an allegory for trooning out, how come everyone has the exact same sex/gender-combination inside and outside the Matrix? Just have someone experience gender dysphoria because the twisted, wicked Matrix assigned them the wrong cyberspace gender. It's not that hard.

That was in the original script. It's why Switch is called Switch and has nothing to do in the final film.

The Matrix films are about being transgender, the trilogy's co-director says.

"That was the original intention but the world wasn't quite ready," says Lilly Wachowski, who came out as trans along with her sister Lana after the films came out.

Fans have speculated about potential meanings behind the iconic films and Lilly confirmed the theory to Netflix.

"I'm glad that it has gotten out," she said.

"The world wasn't quite ready." How fucking convenient! Wasn't The Matrix based on some French philosopher's book who ended up trashing the movie because the Wachowski troons completely misinterpreted his ideas?
