If y’all don’t know, Lilly Wachowski is one of the Wachowski sisters, the women who directed and wrote the matrix, the movie that the whole “red pill, blue pill” thing comes from. Both sisters are trans women.

Both sisters are also horribly racist ❤️

Both Wachowski siblings also did NOT write the matrix….they stole the Matrix story from a black woman named Sophia Stewart who actually sued Warner Bros, the Wachowkskis, and Paramount for stealing it. Nobody gives a shit if Lily or her colonizing sister feelings are hurt about shit they didn’t even originate or write in the first place.

Hey, I’ve seen a bunch of people share this who have no idea it’s BS.

Don’t get scammed.

Don’t spread hoaxes and myths.

This “the Wachowski Sisters stole the Matrix” thing is based on a lawsuit that was dismissed in 2004. The judges explanation of dismissal is nearly 60 pages detailing each claim and Sophia Stewart was never awarded copyright ownership of these franchises and never won any element of the case. It isn’t an ongoing lawsuit and the story is often used by folks as a fundraising scam.

The same story was going around when I was in highschool more than 10 years ago, nearly word for word I swear, just change the most recent/upcoming court dates. If I found what was circulating back then it wouldn’t surprise me if the reference numbers were the same.

The above image looks like its giving references, but is it? In which court were these actions filed by the plaintiff? How is anybody supposed to check this?

This is simply not true. It takes advantage of the fact that the intellectual property of poc is routinely stolen, it takes advantage of a community that wants justice for that, and it creates a climate of doubt… there is real work being stolen, but this isn’t it.

Seriously… this scam is spreading so fast. I’ve seen 4 people I follow reblog it today! I don’t don’t know how many since I wrote the above response.

Fact check!! Maybe spread this instead.

It really doesn’t take long to fact check. But here are some links to make that easy.

This Sophia Stewart scam seems to be picking up traction again so I’ll share this again.
