No threat then. If I'm that off, why even engage?
> you’ve reacted to pushback terribly
Felt like the right thing to do.
> It’s about questioning the fabric of your personal reality
You're just repeating what I said now, but with poorer details, less references, in an angry tone directed at me instead of directing it at a more general abstraction.
I showed you where the spoon is, and you tried to use it to hit me in the balls.
However, this is not about balls.
Yes, exactly. That’s why i didn’t engage on the topic, just on gender indicator words and spelling.
> Felt like the right thing to do.
Reacting terribly? Ok
> You're just repeating what I said now, but […] in an angry tone
You seem to have misread my tone. Patronizing? At this point yes. Angry? Not even a little bit miffed.
> I showed you where the spoon is
Wait, is there a spoon in the matrix? I don’t remember that bit. What a detailed reference. I’m humbled
Now you're even more upset that I didn't, and I also did put you in the spotlight.
You're not fighting for some LGBT cause, you're a provocateur. You're upset because you were not able to provoke me to steer into polemics territory. The soon you admit to yourself that you're upset, the better.
Do you have any comment about the movie tropes, its relation to cyberpunk and computers, or anything actually useful for the ongoing discussion?
> You're upset because the nerdy boy that explains things is supposed to apologize when confronted
Uhh, whut?
Were you under the impression that I'm someone that would explain it to you?
But seriously, i have no idea what you’re talking about. Seems to be referencing something, but i can honestly say I have no idea what. That’s not a request for an explanation, just letting you know
Initially, you presented yourself as defending some trans honor or something.
As soon as I called you a provocateur, you wore that. Now you're provoking.
You prove my point, and I thank you for that.
Have you noticed that’s not something I’m doing back at you? Even now I am describing your words not your mental state.
Just something for you to consider - I’ve been telling you my motives and thoughts with full honesty this entire time.
> As soon as I called you a provocateur, you wore that. Now you're provoking.
Huh… I thought I already was a provoking provocateur before that. What do you think I am trying to provoke in you, when I joked that The Game was your bible?
The idea is that you know inside the way you act. Only you know if I'm wrong or not, it's beyond any reasonable proof and therefore worthless discussing.
I guess someone who sees all the logs for everything you do and everything I do could reach some conclusion. I don't really think that thing exists, but you can imagine it does, as a thought exercise, and it should give you some perspective.
I haven’t added anything about the matrix movies because I think you’re quite far off, and you’ve reacted to pushback terribly. But, I’ll give you a direct response to your point if you’d like? imo the social commentary in the matrix is present and abundant, it’s just aimed at a higher (lower?) level than the kind of “corporations are corrupt” or “ads are bad” social commentary that’s easiest to name as social commentary. It’s about questioning the fabric of your personal reality: your job, your home, your government, your gender, your name. The idea is that these things are a shared illusion, and can be a cage if we let them. Some of that is a cage imposed by ourselves (“I am a software developer”), some of that is a cage imposed by others (“the wachowski brothers”). If that isn’t social commentary, idk what is.
But I didn’t respond to your message because I disagreed with you - i responded because “someone is wrong on the internet” (https://xkcd.com/386/)
