“At this point, they are mocking us.”

It certainly comes across that way. It’s impossible to credit that whoever is writing these tweets believes this stuff.

For example:

“For years, fans of THE MATRIX have discussed the film through a trans lens.”

No, they haven’t.




I don't know how you can say that fans haven't discussed this movie through a trans lens.

Like, a very cursory googling of articles over the past two decades indicates that yes, in fact, many fans have discussed the film through the trans lens.



A lot (all I can find) of the early tweets are about an Indonesian TV called Trans TV. This https://twitter.com/Safarazzz/status/208335499281182720 is (one of?) the first on topic tweet from 2012. After that it's a flood: https://twitter.com/patienceinbee/status/225368805285691393 https://twitter.com/noellejoyeuse/status/228993592864165888 and these were before Lana came out as trans. And then https://twitter.com/ontologicalgeek/status/25747720273043865... https://twitter.com/linernotesdanny/status/25764253274016153... and so forth and so forth.

So yeah, people have noted this for at least eight years, probably on other forums even longer.
