matrixmann“So then, if you have a lot to criticize about LBGTQA+ culture, what is it then what you want instead? What do you want it instead to be like?”
“I want it to be a place that also offers space for hardness. That isn’t afraid of hardness. That constantly doesn’t harbor an obsession with femininity and mentally equates that with the softness that is supposed to be the general emotionality of the human soul. Who the heck has established that association anyway? Isn’t that copycatting “enemy propaganda” or some sort of that?
Also, it would be nice if people weren’t constantly reduced to their sexual orientation or their preferences, but to the personalities they are. Even LBGTQA+ people can be assholes, can be criminals and bitchy creatures, committing morally bad behavior and being personally uneasy to deal with.
LBGTQA+ people also ought not to follow only a certain set of politics that seems like “endorsable” in their situation by outsiders or scene-insiders. For example: What is with those who enjoy their time spending it with guns, spending it in a uniform or a fighting suit, studying the arts of battle? Instead of making a fuss about playing with their genitals? Are they no less part of the group or doesn’t it just not suit a cliché about LBGTQA+ that LBGTQA+ has about itself?
Give those ones a place inside your scene and a steady public representation, so that people who have those preferences don’t feel as excluded and alien as they do now. You have hidden way too long behind your shield of sex and “stand by your sensitive side”! It’s a matter of fact that some people just don’t have that interest so much or that sensitive side inside their personality, or they don’t show it to others in that way which you’d regard as your understanding of “liberated”. They’re just that personality that they are and besides they’re LBGTQA+.”

But I can imagine for myself why that response came back to him...
Musk seems pretty angry with California that they shut down his Tesla factory because of the coronavirus outbreak. (I think he was even like "if I don't get my will, I'm gonna reopen by force!", wasn't it?)
Well, seemingly either he jumps on that Republican train - by using a meme that has become common among them - just to annoy those which shut down his business, and signalize support towards those which would support his will to reopen his business, like a little child. Or, who knows, maybe he really is on that political side.
Well, whatever...
That one of the Wachowski siblings reacted this way, is pretty understandable.
Back then, as the film was made, them two were still brothers, today they're both sisters.
So to say, a group which uses an idea/literal image that they created, which is usually encountered working their best against that kind of people which the two creators are themselves. (They didn't transition simultaneously; one started up and then years after that, the other started it too.)
Of course, this can receive the response of a "Fuck you!" if noticed. Because that what those Republican people made of it for sure wasn't a message which the Wachowski siblings intended back then.
