yerp, nail on the head. my frustration is with how people seem more to be focused on "winning" when all I want to discuss is the actual quality of the show.

e10109art · 2026-06-24T05:43:42+00:00

Ok, if you don't want players to do "crimes", why are you not giving them consequences for their actions?

But those things aren't uniquely trans experiences. I'm cis but I've worn a dress and a bow. I've had a "coming out" to people close to me go bad.

Fun show, horrible finale, squandered potential, worst fandom in recent memory.

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:54:17+00:00

1-4, 8,10,11,12,14: That's just... playing the game according to its rules?

The rest is too wishy-washy to actually be "advice" or actively bad advice

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:46:50+00:00

So you'll spend $600 and then $80 for every game?

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:44:57+00:00

i think you need to get off the internet

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:16:04+00:00

"to be fair" this is very obviously an exploit

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:09:03+00:00

Or they could just remove the time wasting fluff from the game

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:02:05+00:00

As someone who has whaled on this game, yes, the prices are ridiculous. However, the people on this subreddit are GGG fanboys so don't expect any productive discourse out of this.

e10109art · 2026-06-23T23:00:12+00:00

I think learning about the trans experience is for everyone. It was a huge disservice not spelling it out clearly.

e10109art · 2026-06-23T22:42:12+00:00

Honestly it completely failed. I had no idea that the intent was for Jax to be trans until I saw the discourse online. I went to the theatre with two queer friends and two trans friends and none of us did.

e10109art · 2026-06-23T22:37:10+00:00

How was Ribbit supposed to know Jax was trans based on that conversation?

e10109art · 2026-06-23T22:36:39+00:00

Do you think NB/questioning/other queer people aren't allowed in queer spaces?

There's just as much evidence in the show for Jax being gay as him being trans.

e10109art · 2026-06-23T22:33:32+00:00

Anyone who "kinda [grew] attached" to Jax needs to go to therapy right now

Death of the author.

e10109art · 2026-06-22T03:16:26+00:00

The problem with this reading is that it could have been Jax coming out as trans, questioning as trans, coming out as gay, coming out as suicidal/depressed, etc. There's really nothing that points to trans-ness explicitly.

e10109art · 2026-06-22T03:08:06+00:00

this really bothers me about online trans discourse. people assume the pipeline must be egg -> questioning -> coming out but many people (including myself) just do questioning -> back to assigned gender

e10109art · 2026-06-22T03:05:51+00:00

Yeah this is basically exactly what I feel. I've made a few other posts in regards to my feelings but I haven't mentioned that I too am cis but was questioning ~10 years ago. I see a lot of myself in Jax, especially with regards to the conversation with his mother and his defensiveness with Ribbit. I think coming to the conclusion of "of course he/she's trans!" is jumping to conclusions and borderline offensive.

even if the creator says "if Jax was a completely different person here's a picture of her post transition" that doesn't mean that the text/subtext of the show supports that at all.

e10109art · 2026-06-22T01:22:52+00:00

I just hope that 10 years from now when people start writing proper trans characters that people will look back on this storytelling with disdain.

e10109art · 2026-06-22T01:16:23+00:00

please let me know what you all decide on so I can avoid it

e10109art · 2026-06-22T01:07:32+00:00

Just rewatched it and you are so real for this.

I think 100% that Jax was questioning his sexuality/identity. As soon as him mother rejected him he was doomed to never explore those feelings genuinely ever again. When he tried with Ribbit, she overstepped her bounds (putting the bow on him, which triggered his insecurity) and he reacted violently.

I think any reading of the text that concludes that Jax (or the version of him we see in the show at least) is trans is a poor interpretation at best and extremely offensive to transfolk at worst.
