Why would simulated bullets hurt a computer program anyway?

90s audiences assumed computers were magic and hackers were wizards.

It didn't, it hurt the bodies the Smiths possessed in the matrix. So the rebels sentenced a lot of people to become liquid food for everyone else in the bio pods. Then the Smiths just picked someone else to hijak. If anything it was making mukbang for YouTubers.
Also, fuck this post timer after you delete your cache. It's way to fucking long.

The bullets are bad lines of code.

They abide to the rules of the matrix, you moron.

Crazy how bad this board gets when it's evening in a certain country

Can kill the agents host

It always shocked me a bit when the bodies turned back to their "human" form, and the good guys had no problem with the fact they just euthanized some poor dude.

that makes no sense

It's just another fact that the rebels aren't really heroes at all, especially if you take into context the animatrix. Of course that all goes out the window if you also take into account that the rebels are in a matrix within the matrix, and none of that stuff they're doing is real. The matrix is a mess of cool ideas.

I pity the zoomer casuals who never played Core Wars back in the 1990s. Such a game is beyond their imagining.

Your brain makes it real.

They literally explain it in the movie that agents are still bound by the "rules" of the matrix.

>>213849524 (OP)
Did you notice that when the agent gets shot they reappear in another body, almost like the computer code was unaffected by the simulated bullet?

Why do they bother dodging them then?

>>213850718
switching bodies takes time, and there isn't a limitless supply, If i have a hacker cornered but the next closest body is 2 blocks away why wouldn't I (easily) dodge the bullets and take them out?

>>213849524 (OP)
dems the rulez

>>213849748
they can dodge bullets, gain super strength, jump a million miles, hijack bodies, teleport etc but making the bullets harmless is the one thing thats against the rules of the matrix?

>>213849524 (OP)
Everyone in the Matrix has an avatar, a persona. Therefore, that person must follow the rules of the Matrix, and death is one of those rules. Although, as we saw, programs don't die, it's the person who dies, being usurped by the program.

The bullets acts a virus on their programing.

You sound like someone who's tried to suck his own dick multiple times lol
