      matrix, hackers, johnny mnemonic, the net it’s because hacking movies of the 90s were unbelievably queer.

      (the net is just there because sandra bullock was everything i wanted to be growing up closeted)

        I came into it quite a bit later, but I’ve noticed a similar thing with programmers, despite the stereotype of “brogrammers” there are some pretty diverse pockets about
