    I have tankfully never heard anyone complain about a piece of software being coded by a furry transgendered person.

    In fact, it seems like a stamp of quality :P

    Movies, however…? Man, I remember when the Wachowski Sisters transitioned…

      Same I didn’t realize this was a thing. Even among the maga dumb fucks and hyper nationalistic loons. The stereotype of the gay trans LGBT furry being the one who’s the good IT and software guy is still a thing.

      It’s like typically the only time I see them be positive about lgbtq anything or furry anything.

      Yes iowa is a shitty place

        Then at least attack the quality of the movie, not the gender of the directors.

          At the risk of being mauled by groupthink here I’ll just say that Revolutions had 10 hours of philosophy packed into a 2 hour box. The ending felt flat. I recently reached the whole series and I agree that the first movie aged well while the middle 2 were a letdown.

          IMO if you want to make an arthouse movie don’t try to taco it onto an action blockbuster.

          Glad they are happy with their genders. Doesn’t really belong in the criticism of their movies.

          Speed Racer is one of those where you get out what you put in. It’s not for everyone.

            And what movie are you addressing? Because you only said the Wachowski’s are frauds. That’s not a movie critique and you’re hardly Roger Ebert.

                  I think most will agree with some dude tbh. Funnily enough I haven’t seen Speed Racer so can’t comment on that, but much of the rest of what they’ve directed after the original Matrix movie has been disappointing.

                  The only memorable bits of 2 and 3 are the action scenes (highway chase and Neo clones vs Smith clones) and for Resurrections, not even that. Recasting both Morpheus and Smith made it even worse. Cloud Atlas… Idk, I’m sure someone liked it, I was close to falling asleep.

                  I will have to give Sense8 a shot one of these days, premise sounds interesting so maybe it’ll redeem them in my eyes. Cautiously optimistic on that one, reviews seem to be good.

            Ah, I think I see the confusion.

            I had made a remark about how people were harsh with the Wachowskis because of their gender, and your next words were that they were frauds who make trash movies.

            I took that as an explanation and justification for WHY people were being terrible, so my response was meant as a general response. Not saying you were criticising them for being trans.

    Not even a strawman. I did actually hear the take “I refuse to play this videogame because the studio has DIY DEI policies.”

    Edit: DIY

    Reminds of a fascinating story of an prehistoric Aryan shaman leader excavated in Germany in 30s who turned out to be a witch female with a unique genetic twist that gave her an ability to go in trance at will, and she was so important, her grave received sacrifices 400 years after she died.

          Best part is I’ve actually heard great things about Digger and I can’t wait to see it.

          And I mean make this a feminist Nazi-sploitation movie a la X + Inglorious basterds and it’s nearly pandering.

          Hollywood can’t do well and do well, though.

    How much software can be coded by autistic furry transgender pups, though? I only know one (possibly two) and most people I know in the industry only hit two or three out of four. /s

      AI don’t think or have feelings (it’s debatable whether they’re even AI or that’s just marketing BS). False equivalency.

        “AI” is kind of like the “No True Scotsman” fallacy. We’ve been through how many cycles of “If a computer can do <this>, it must be AI.” *Make a computer that does <this>.* “That isn’t how I meant. Now, if it can do <this>…” Of course, people have a hard time describing sentience and sapience, so why would it be a surprise that we have a hard time deciding if what we built sufficiently mimics them?

          We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We haven’t come to it. It’s just a complexified chatbot they’re calling AI for marketing purposes.

    They really don’t care as much as the anti-ai crowd. That’s the sad fact of life, it’s often just the mad men in the lift meme.
