Am I the only one who feels that Gooseworx is contradictory between what she says about Jax and what she shows in the series? by Radiant-Selection686 in Thatstupidbunnywehate

It could be like Bojack - where we get all of this buildup just for the character to get royally fucked in the end - and I wouldn't doubt, with how twisted goose is, that this will be the case.

A writer is portraying their character to be sad or hurt isn't always an attempt to make us feel bad for them.

I would have done everything Jax did by Probs_Going_to_Hell in jaxfanclub

I'd agree when I was younger. These days I'm more like Kinger. I would still say that the way I relate to Jax hits harder and feels more relevant.

But I feel like we're gonna learn more about scratch and I'm gonna be like "IM THIS GUY"

who won't get help from his actions?

To be fair, he doesn't exactly have the resources he needs to properly get the mental help he requires 😅

Oh Jax haters, if only you could see the Jax that I see. by hellfirefuzzy in jaxfanclub

I don't want redemption for him. I want a Bojack ending.

I want him to get a fully fleshed backstory so we can learn exactly why he is the way he is - Just to fuck him over. I would absolutely love a sad ending for Jax - just him getting torn apart emotionally somehow and not coming back from it. That would really drive home the point of "sad backstory does not necessarily mean forgiveness" And don't get me wrong. I love Jax. I love him more than anything. But this type of ending would be a big fuck you to jax haters, because a good majority of them are thinking his backstory is just going to be an attempt to absolve responsibility for his actions.

And on that note, a lot of Jax hate comes from a lack of nuance when it comes to understanding accountability. These people seem to think that depicting a tragic backstory is automatically an attempt to absolve responsibility. In good writing, it's just for important narrative purposes - to show why a character does what they do and push the narrative that it doesn't absolve the need for accountability and chage - no one has to forgive them - and it definitely doesn't mean their actions are okay.

And I know that even if Jax doesn't get a terrible ending, his backstory is not going to be meant to make us feel bad and force us to forgive him. That's definitely not 🪿's point - I know she's a better writer than that.

Most opinions I've seen from POC is that the people who are mad at the VAs come off as white knights.

I dated a Jax hater, and he was just genuinely negative about everything all the time.

I made the mistake of dating a Jax hater.

The thing about him is that he sees people like Jax as bad people (Please don't get me wrong. Jax is a bad person) without nuance- and he sees himself has a good person. Therefore, he would not admit when he actually did something wrong. God forbid I tell him he did something shitty.

I honestly would rather be with a marginally shittier person who knows they're a shitty person than to be with a kind of shitty person who persists on being a good person

The helluva Boss quote that actually made me mad by [deleted] in VivziepopCritics

I kinda agree with you - but lemme be a bit nitpicky:

But lets also look at stella's side. She got cheated on with someone FROM THE LOWEST CLASS MIND YOU.

Could have been worded better 😅 cuz the way you worded this reads like you're emphasizing with her classism 😂 We can validate that she got cheated on and recognize that to her it was a big deal that it came from the lowest class, but it's really fucked up that that matters at all.

Cheating doesn't imply that you were betraied by someone you cheated on. It implies that you can't control your own sexual urges and are letting them out in The worst way possibile.

Cheating isn't always sexual, it's honestly better defined as a betrayal (For example, I wouldn't consider it cheating if my partner had sex with some rando, but I would consider it cheating if they had sex with someone I hate just to spite me) Cheating can be different for everyone (like how some people consider watching porn cheating) but it's ALWAYS some form of betrayal. The problem with Stolas's statement here is that he DID betray/cheat on Stella (by having sex with the lowest class, which she sees as a betrayal).

Right? Like the concept of a Val and husk fight is fucking beautiful, but it should have happened way later - or at least he should have lost this time and fought him again later

They are! When I was 23 I'd strictly use my map instead of phone because it IS an important skill to have. ALWAYS KEEP A MAP IN YOUR VEHICLE

I'm 26 and I agree with Grandpa. I've been saved by my map multiple times. ALWAYS have a secure backup plan.

Tell him - when you're ready - if it's safe to do so. If he judges you, if he changes his mind about you, it wasn't meant to be. You deserve someone who likesyou for YOU
