I am very aware of the dystopia. Maybe that's part of the appeal for me, the contrast.i have not heard of the matrix having any trans relationship, other than the directors.
I will check those out, I have wanted to watch Ghost in the Shell for a while but never got there or it wasn't available. The anime+trans reminded me of this video I found super interesting! It starts about "why are there so many more trans people in Japanese games?" and then goes deep into the culture differences between east and west and how they look at conformity in different ways so that homosexuality was easier to accept here and more difficult there but the reverse for trans

Great, I just wanted to have that set. At the latest since Cyberpunk 2077 became big, the subculture and the artistic genres are all to often reduced to the aesthetic, basically ignoring all the punk elements.
There's more all over the movies, but central in the first movie is Neo's transition of Thomas Anderson, someone who builds an online persona, searching for something he cannot quite get a grasp of, taking the red pill (sad but ironic how that term is used nowadays) which symbolizes the first steps on learning the truth, waking up from the Matrix and climaxing in the death of his old persona, then being reborn his true self, Neo.
Of course, this can be interpreted in many ways, but then you see the context of who made this.
That video sounds interesting, I'll try to watch it tomorrow.
Oooooo yeah, I'll have to give that a re-watch considering the after context! And yeah, fucking red-pillers...
