What’s with the “ooga booga woman scared by tech” meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it’s not like it’s underground.
And just have it downloaded? “Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then.” Then start the download. If it’s popular, you’ll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she’s that “confused” by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can’t imagine setting something up would make them leave? “Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a… A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???”
I don’t know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya’ll.
“What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?” Boy, bye
In the post the woman is not the butt of the joke for being tech illiterate (and I’d argue they aren’t presented as that), the joke is on Anon for insisting on using free/techy stuff rather than costly but convenient things and ruining the vibe of the evening. This could just as easily say “Anon, why are you still fiddling with the picture settings? It looks fine. Motion blur? I don’t know what that is. It looks fine. Just watch the movie.”

I like your comment because it tells me why I didn’t found this that much funny.
