Just because it’s a trans allegory doesn’t mean they figured it all the way out. I think it was mostly the broaching of the topic and putting the ideas into normal people’s head that something like that could happen. I can imagine a very different social experience if explaining trans in the early 2000s could have been boiled down to “I’m kinda like switch from the matrix.”

No canon but you could tell after a while that the writers were aware of the fan theory.

James Spader is now my customer service voice. The little old ladies love it.

I like the crazy theory that Red is actually his wife who got sex change and facial reconstruction surgery to keep his empire alive to protect her daughter.

At least the case is solid. That’s why I love building PCs.
