    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…

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

            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.

          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.

            For what it’s worth, I agree with you.

            Matrix 1 was awesome, but the other ones weren’t as good. I don’t think Groupthink is gonna get you, because the general consensus here seems to be “movies? Take’em or leave’em”.

      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

      If you’ve heard people screeching about “RUST BÆD!!1!” then you probably have, since a lot of these chuds considered it the Woke Language (at least before it was co-opted by slopbros)

        That passed me by. I heard people talk about rust, but not that it was bad, per se. Just different.

        Of course, me not having heard of these peeps does not mean they don’t exist. Just means I live under my own kind of comfy rock. (There’s room for more if you bring snacks)

          Thank you for the offer but existing under the sun as a child of God blessed with Their Divine Spark who also happens to be a transgender schizo furry hacker sounds way more fun

    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

    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

          Would you settle for software made by autistic furry cis twinks? I know it’s not ideal but we’re a little short at the moment; I promise we’ll get a new shipment in soon. We’ve successfully introduced them to puppy play which they seem to be enjoying and we’ve got them on a steady diet of trans memes, if that helps

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

        I’m for progress. Anyone with any decent edification on the subject knows that what we call “AI” is an LLM. The point is I don’t care if a solution comes from any source, be it the mathematical proofs LLMs have found, or a piece of software made by the furriest of furrys.

      Some people want to imagine they’re puppies when they’re being railed or something

      Or maybe walked around on a leash
