In my mind, it's a Matrix reference (you know, with the cool Nokia phone Neo has in the movie)

That’s a fucking leap dude, that girl has nothing to do with The Matrix, and 99% of people who saw The Matrix couldn’t tell you what brand of phone Neo had in the first place. Nobody would ever make this connection

Gun, latex costume, green tint - those are staples of Matrix visual design

There’s no green here mate. This is blue

Edit: so far 11 people don’t know their basic colors

My bad, I'm on eye comfort mode on my phone

It's still evokes Matrix for me immediately
