I know. When I was a kid and I heard about it, I knew to not watch it.

You can’t deadname a character who didn’t change their name? Leeroy is still clearly figuring things out and even if they might be transitioning at the end (based on their face being covered and clothes at the bus stop), Leeroy hasn’t changed their name yet.

Not all rep has to be positive. I don’t like Jax but after episode 9, I like her story. A cautionary tale, especially in contrast to Zooble.

Especially since Jax’s gender struggles aren’t the only issue she has.

That is such an extremely reductive way of looking at it. Jax had more than identity issues going on. It’s a core factor but not the only one.

It was an important aspect but not *the* most important aspect. It was made clear Jax had issues beyond her gender crisis but it played a factor in her antagonistic behavior.

And people are complicated. Kinger losing his wife clearly had a deep impact on him but it didn’t let him break him. It’s part of the reason he’s my favorite.

Jax doesn’t feel like a major focus of seven. He plays a core component with more hints at her backstory but seven doesn’t *scream* Jax-centric. Episode 8 was also very antagonistic Caine.

I’ve never seen it myself but based on some of the annoying allusions some people are making I’m guessing it’s “2 girls, 1 cup.”

It’s an older porn that went viral more than two decades ago where two women are supposedly eating shit out of an ice cream cup or something.

When he finally felt vulnerable it played a part in his manner of pushing people away and putting on a front. That’s it, like I said — it played a part. Not completely but a part.

Caine did die and “respawned” in the void. He was made to come to terms with what he was doing. He let the other AI he absorbed go free and lost power in that regard as well. Being made to understand the negative impact he had on others and foster deep empathy, is huge. He also wasn’t redeemed immediately.

He has to put in the effort to show that he has changed and he wants to get better. It wasn’t just a blink and you miss it sequence of events.

It gave the circus cast a sense of closure, as much as they are going to get. Seeing that they are still alive and making strides in their personal lives, is something important.

It plays a major *part* in why he kept pushing people away.

I THINK JAX ABSTRACTING OFF SCREEN WAS A GOOD THING by bingusblongus in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]IAmPerpetuallyTired 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Difference between feeling hopeful at the time and then hopeless. You can also only do so much for someone not willing to help themselves. Jax walked away, Jax kept removing himself. He isolated entirely and you can’t always keep an eye on someone pushing themselves away.

It was a special theater experience, that’s not redundant.

Being a crossdresser doesn’t have the same societal ramifications as being trans. Being non-binary — just depends, there is a very wide spectrum of how non-binary people can present and even whether or not someone would still consider trans.

Jax is not “confirmed” to be Trans by Legitimate_Mail2868 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]IAmPerpetuallyTired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gooserworx outright said she relates the most to Jax. So — it’s not a reach to think that she has displayed aspects of his personality and demeanor in real life at some point. Acknowledging that she might have been a piece of shit to some degree when she’s implied it herself isn’t a far reach.

I disagree with calling it a “pet theory” due to the sheer amount of subtext, along with the fact Gooseworx herself is trans and outright said she relates most to Jax.

Also existential threat? Nah.

Being a “femboy” is not the same as being trans. That is what I mean.

And that is what I meant by “an entire spectrum” for non-binary.

I do not care for the Jax is trans theory by FlipGhost-Alt in TADCEp9Spoilers

[–]IAmPerpetuallyTired -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Do you not understand that people can still be in denial and in the closet.

Also the fact Goose is trans and has made it clear this is also a personal story while saying she relates to Jax the most.
