I keep thinking about the Matrix as a trans allegory, and this scene from the Animatrix always hauts me. This machine is protesting in the “million machine march” for the right to be treated with dignity and the very recognition of her humanity. In response, she is viciously assaulted and murdered, called a “skinjob” for daring to look like a woman. Her last words as she is being maimed are
“I’m real!”
God this makes me sad and sick. Good job to those animators tho, because I’m feeling so strongly about a series of pictures.
yeah like. gosh every part of this scene just works together to make it horrifying
