At the very least, it's a sci fi movie.
If I was doing a movie that takes place in a dystopian future with extensive genetic engineering, id inclue trannies. They'd still be mentally ill but at least scalpel wouldn't be involved
Troonism is probably one of the best indicators of a sci fi dystopian future. One where even gender has become so meaningless its now just another thing you pay to change around for hedonistic pleasure and flashy expression.
Yeah except it still doesn't work lol and you still look like a dude
If people had the ability to just buy removable dicks and tits as easily as a Funko, it wouldn't matter what they looked like. They'd be all in on that and a lot of very disgusting shit would be normalized because of it.
We'd be well beyond simple trannies and into penis envy women packing just to do it and guys gooning with their own mega milks for days.
It's indicator of shitty writing from people who burned out the last remnants of their imagination with Hollywood sized piles of drugs.
So they just crib what they see in the news and pretend it's insightful to incorporate it into their corporate drivel project.
That's a comment to wake up to in the morning. Thanks for making me realize more manmade horrors. I wish I didn't comprehend them.
In the setting where designer biological human body can be made and memory transfered/implanted, there's absolutely no reason to be a tranny who can't pass. Just transfer your 'female' mind to a female Replicant body bruh.
I had to wince when I learned about the episode of Dirty Pair where the trans fool was involved.
Still didn't quite pass, either, not even in anime.
But at least that was the far future, where maybe advances have been made to make it more possible. Maybe.
Huh? When?
Right, but the point should be to point out the horrors and abomination that it is -- an honest depiction would show that your lineage ends as a troon, that you'll always deal with the biological intrinsic side-effects of alternating your physiology, and the non-stop pills and HRT required to maintain that facade (which is one of the few good parts about Deus Ex: Human Revolution's story, which highlighted that it would require a complete genetic overhaul at birth to get humans to accept foreign bodies like cybernetics without spending a lifetime on drugs to force the body to accept the changes, and even then, it was an anomaly (i.e., Jensen)).
Instead, this movie will either glorify or gloss over the horrors of body-mutilation, and normalise it, because that is what the media zeitgeist is wont to do these days.
Wrong. In a dystopian future, men will seek to become even more manly and women will seek to become even more feminine, for the sake of biological utility, instinctive competition and general attractiveness-charisma.
You could argue that women would seek to increase their physical strength, or incorporate some other defensive mechanism, but will strive to maintain their feminine qualities.
Sounds like utopia to me. Unless you're going for the "weak times create strong men" broken future narrative.
I've seen mutilated flesh flaps you people wouldn't believe
From that studio that fucked up, LOTR, WOT, and Coming to America comes Blade Runner
Also, don't forget that Amazon Studios released the show 'Trans-parent' in its early days. It supposedly won all kinds of awards, as well.
Why?!
Presumably because the media journalists astroturfed enough demand for him to be Zelda that he's getting this as a consolation prize.
Nah - I meant why are they even making this movie?! Who wants this?
It's like a variation of that Bender joke "Fine, I'll make my own movie with hookers and blow" except it's "Fine. I'll make my own
star warswillowwizard of ozBlade runner with trannies and POCs"Movies aren't made to be watched any more. They're made as an ideological show of force to remind us that the rich and powerful have the resources to dump 300 million dollars into what amounts to a 90 minute long Reddit post. Every time a movie like this comes out, it's just Hollywood saying "we're still in control and you can't do anything about it".
The wrong people enjoyed 2049 for the wrong reasons and now must be humiliated and corrected.
I was about 80% of the way through BR 2049. The scene where K and the police chief are in the downed craft and they're starting to go underwater.
I realized at that moment that I didn't care at all what was happening. There were no stakes. I didn't give a shit about any of the characters, the world they live in, or how it all turned out. The script sucked, the pacing was ridiculous, and it was all loud noises and bright lights with no impact.
First time I've ever walked out. Not because I was offended but because I was extremely bored. I have no idea how that movie got made. Complete waste of everyone's time.
B-b-but Deckard's daughter has real UTERUS!!!!! Sh-sh-she deserves to be leader because of that!!!!!!!!!!!
It was the feminist-nihilistic moment no one in the audience cared about.
Memes are better than the movie.
The former movie was mauled by feminism and this one will be gored by the trender social contagion. And why is Michelle Yeoh in it?
Because the comic book for 2029 that this movie is looking to be based on stared an Asian lady. And that tells you just how popular the comic was, barely anyone knows it exists, but it did its job swapping genders, and now Hollywood can defile it further. While the comic wasn't completely awful and didn't push woke in your face, it is very clear the movie absolutely will.
I'm greatly looking forward to not seeing it.
I’ll just reread Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep
Even a bad PKD story is better than most :>
And DADoES is great! His ability to make amazing things seem boring is unique. It makes the characters believable & real.
A slime mold oozes under the door. "Greetings neighbor" it says telepathically.
"Don't you people ever knock?"
Glorious! Lord Running Clam was a great character.
Yea I love his work. Last book of his I read was U.B.I.K. Ever read it?
Yes! "It's perfectly safe when used EXACTLY as directed!"
The movie's been in "development hell" for 20 years now? Same for Valis.
I've read almost all of his books and all the short stories too. They're collected in 5-6 volumes by publishing date. There's a couple of novels I can't get past the first chapter though. Oh well, can't win them all!
Not sure if I’d want them to make it a movie now.
His Estate (run by his grandkids now?) guards the property closely! No half-assed efforts. Even though some are "B movie" budgets? They still turn out pretty well! Second Variety was made into Screamers 1 & 2 which are decent. Paycheck was good! & etc.
I need to check those out. Quite a few books of his I’ve yet to read.
Seems legit but the format is terrible!
Lots of used book stores will have his stuff, they've kept most of them in circulation so there's usually new editions too.
Like I said, "The Collected Stories" series has all his short works, including a few novellas. 👍🏼
We killed off your favorite white male hero goys but here is a old gook and some female power story against the patriarchy instead
While I hate troons for being walking abomnations, they aren't entirely out of place in a cyberpunk setting, given how transhumanism is a common theme in that genre.
What I'm more worried [upset?] about is my favorite movie being turned from a serious work of art into commercialized goyslop. I was very nervous about 2049 being shit until I saw it, given how many sequels nowadays are total trash.
It used to be about plugging your brain into the internet and becoming the most powerful person alive.
Now it's about mutilating your genitals with computers?
Please.
Imagine being a local and thinking that 2049 is not shit. Bro, wtf is wrong with you?
Imagine thinking I care what some neckbeard glownigger thinks I'm allowed to like.
You are literally the Simpsons comic book guy IRL.
Ok but what the fuck is up with that googly eye sticker on his forehead 😂
Troonism was pushed forward for Transhumanism, they are it's first clients.
