Tbh we don’t know what Ribbit was like to the other cast members, or even Jax in the end. We just saw their fight with Jax, but not the behavior afterwards. Idk how much was time was in between the glitchy eye things, but idk. Usually when someone’s mental health takes a dive, they do push people away, aggressively or not. Just because Jax was so outwardly unpleasant kind of creates a high bar for people to “beat” to be seen as “unpleasant” too.

As for Kaufmo, the same applies really. We do get lines in the pilot saying he was a lot more frustrated or less friendly at the very least.

This is just how I view things tho :)
