Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 9, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I saw that thread, but I'm not sure I understand, though. Who's the storytellers in that thread? For the Wachowskis, they're not caught between anyone. I think the Wachowskis side entirely with the woke folk who want to cheer on that the Matrix is (retroactively) a trans allegory, and they are against the original fans of the Matrix who like it just for being a fun and thought provoking movie.

I don’t really agree with the premise, either. People act really surprised when artists dabble in commentary or subversion. But it’s the natural response to an industry which fetishizes novelty.
