I stand by my "universal themes that are easy to project on" argument (Feelings of not fitting in, being silenced by THE MAN (Conspiracies were popular in the 90's), Agents and peers calling you by your legal name instead of your online username, rising up against the enemy and proving them wrong) but I feel there are some specific points not addressed by this
The ragtag band of rebels Neo joins are all dressed in black trenchcoats and leather because it was fashionable at the time. (See: Blade, The Crow, The X-Files, Sin City, Hackers etc.) This would be like saying that the rebels in Half Life 2 were LGBT coded because they all wore denim. (And oddly enough all identify with the lambda symbol)
Premarin comes in multiple colours including BLUE, green, yellow and white. Medicine is colour coded by design. It's statistically unremarkable that a brand of oestrogen happened to have a red OR blue variation.
Neo does indeed go through complicated surgery. His surgery is to make him look identical to how he looked previously except he now has a cooler haircut, shades and wears more leather.
Also, none of this is even vaguely referenced in the article or video. That's not me knocking you @rhinoceraptor. That's me knocking whoever wrote the OP article.
