Instead of In addition to mockery (which you deserve), I'm going to offer some enlightenment:

1. Don't loving use a ten-point scale for women. Women are not a commodity and you are not motherfucking Consumer Reports.
2. Don't pressure girls into acts of intimacy they're not comfortable with. This should be self-evident but let's get it on the table.
3. Dating a girl isn't a case of "insert kindness, get sex". The "World's Most Patient Man" is not owed sex because he inserted kindness coins into this girl.
4. Breaking up with someone because they insisted that either you gently caress them or stop dating them is a good thing.
5. She is absolutely in the right here, you and WMPM are the assholes for expecting her to put out and shaming her when she doesn't just give you the sex you think WMPM deserves.

If they were trying to use this as a parable it was a dismal failure, as there is no indication anyone read it that way. Hell, this is the first I've heard of it being claimed, period.

The Wachowskis have confirmed their experiences as closeted trans people heavily influenced writing the first movie. A metaphor doesn't have to be surface level and easily read by everyone to "work". Hell, it can just be for the writer themselves, and if other people pick up on it, cool.

This sounds like necromancy of the author to me. If a metaphor only works for the author and doesn't actually communicate to the audience, that's failure on the part of the author. It sure as hell makes no sense to retroactively decide that a movie with a whole plethora of themes is a parable for just this one thing that wasn't really caught when it first came out, nor for years later.

Either way, the only reason I brought up The Matrix was because the term "red pill" comes from that, and it's anachronistic to use it to describe the mores of sexist etc '90s sitcoms which codo27 expressed in his stupid diatribe where the only idiot on social media was him. We have an r/relationship thread over at GBS for this type of stupidity.

No one said it was a parable for just one thing. The writers and directors just confirmed after they came out that their experiences did in fact influence the structure of the story when people asked them about it. And people asked them about it because they caught on to it. Meaning it worked on some level.

I'm not sure I get the point in trying to make this seem absurd. It was one of many metaphors in the script that folks caught on to later, not some "actually all the characters were dead the whole time and in purgatory" fan theory.

The red pill is a metaphor for taking a nyquil gel cap for the sniffles, cause that's the only experience I can relate to that metaphor.

What the gently caress did you say about my shades you little oval office? [sip] I'll have you know I mod a meme group on Facebook, and I've been involved in numerous coups, and I have a nice private harem that's not creepy at all [sigh]. I know how to make a Tumblr and I am the best at George Benson. You are nothing to me than a bad content peasant. I will shitpost that piece of poo poo meme page you call a home with content the likes of which you will never curate in your lifetime, mark my loving words [sip]. You think you can get away with talking poo poo about my shades over the internet? [eyebrow] Think again, fucker. As we speak I am sending the best network of memelords and SJWs across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, normie. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call a page and your life. You're loving dead, underage member. [sniff] I have mods and admins anywhere, anytime, and I can use them to ban you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my eyebrows. Not only am I extensively trained in starting a Tumblr, but I have access to a very large splinter group and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable rear end off the face of the continent, you little poo poo. [sip] If only you could have known what unholy retribution your "snide remark" about my shades was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your loving tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddam normie [sigh]. I will poo poo content all over you and you will drown in it. Wanna go on a date, kiddo?
