Ouch, I just assumed it was the serial port and didn’t even look how it’s reversed. There must be all kinds of fun things you can do by hand-writing VGA data.
Well, by “reversed” I meant that the cable has pins, and the computer has slots, what is the inverse of serial. Not that it’s upside down.
You can’t plug a serial cable in it and make it work, no matter how much force you apply. You can probably do the opposite, and plug a VGA cable on the serial port with the exact right amount of force, though.

The VGA connector is actually reversible! Once. given enough force. It also doesn’t actually work properly when installed upside down.

All connectors are compatible given enough violence.
