Chuck Palahniuk and Alan Moore, in chorus: “What is wrong with you people!?!”

The Wachowski Sisters, writing The Matrix: “The reality you think you see around you is a system that draws its energy from your body, exists by keeping you trapped in its illusions, and so long as you live within it can turn you into its agent at any time.”

Nerdy Fanboys: “Oh… like feminism and trans people?”

The Wachowski Sisters: “GODDAMMIT NO!!!”

Star Wars: “The villains in twenty-first century society are young proto-Nazis groomed by would-be fascists and given voice by public leaders mongering hate.”
