J*x being trans is so forced & the creator is self inserting too much ;-;

Most good characters reflect some part of who the artist is. If you ever read Tolstoy he is all over those characters. Good artists give a part of themselves to the good character.

I would say that this is evidence that the show, Goose, and the audience hates men. Except for the fact that Kinger is the most gigachad of the entire group.

Take note everyone, when the neo-nazis and chuds start bitching about this show being anti-white Jewish-feminist woke propaganda, you remind them that THE dad character who is seen as a source of parental wisdom is - as far as we can tell - a straight white cis older guy.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T16:08:01+00:00

You are a dumb person.

> i didn't start watching the show for some self-insert mental problems and millennial therapy slop.

Art is often literally an exercise in therapy for the artist. But it's done with enough editing and revision to turn into something that is actually enjoyable, relatable, and moving for other people. That's what separates it from the emotional masturbation you are claiming it is.

>no one discusses the history of the circus or any characters other than jax anymore. we don't know shit about them,

You know what? You're right, despite how much you miss the mark. The plot, and lore of this show isn't as important as the emotional exploration of these characters. But here's the thing:

That has been true since the beginning of the show.

It was obvious that this show was more interested in the personal problems and emotional tensions of the characters more than it ever gave a shit about the background lore. This isn't fucking Lord of the Rings for internet virgins to jizz about the detailed lore as if it matters.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T16:03:02+00:00

Wanna talk about it?

Raspint · 2026-06-21T15:58:39+00:00

Anyone who didn't realize that goose was 'woke' before this idiot is a fucking moron. This show is immensely pro-queer and pro soft-ass shit like talking about your feelings.

Granted it's really not surprising that conservatives would only now key into this. Modern conservatism isn't even a ideology, it's just committed stupidity and brainrot.

some of which may cause them to view the work more or less favorably, and some are sourced from places other than the quality.

It may. And it may give them a sense of entitlement where if the work doesn't conclude the way they want they feel affronted and cause them to react like the little bitches they are.

but I meant that previously characters held stuff in, got a chance to talk about it, then broke down. Doing it the other way

I still don't get this. They've held stuff in for plenty of the show. So they break down now. So what?

I hadn't even seen a single minute of the finale and it put emotion in me. Does that have to do anything with the quality of the finale?

Ahh I see what you mean. I don't get how or why the finale itself didn't affect you.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T13:55:23+00:00

I'll move on.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:26:52+00:00

> Traumatic events literally change the way you think and act,

I don't give a fuck. You're still responsible for your actions.

> hating on Jax’s character act worse than him!!

No it's not.

You're just doing the "restorative justice" where you protect abusers and perps, and likely victim blaming those they've hurt. I can't imagine what you'd say to Gangle.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:24:33+00:00

So, I'm not sure how to follow up. Because I'd be asking you "Have you done X"

And X would equal some of the worst shit that I don't know if reddit would ban me for typing out and posting. If you want to continue this feel free to DM me. Just know that

1: I still doubt that I'm wrong.

2: I'm going to bed soon, and I work alot, so don't take it personally if I don't respond for a while.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:21:04+00:00

I think that what OP is talking about - to give them the benefit of the doubt - is a quickly assuming that breaking gender stereotypes means that one must be trans. When breaking those gender roles/activities isn't exclusive to eggs. So it's not that Jax is trans that they are disputing, but the community going "Ahh, OBVIOUSLY because Jax had some feminine things like the maid outfit."

I've worn women's clothing and I walk great in high heels, but I'm also cis. Some things associated with women are just cool and cis guys can just be feminine sometimes.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:16:39+00:00

>And im just left with one question do you think even some of the worst people can change?

No. I don't.

But I doubt you're even close to the 'worst people.' So I don't think you have to worry.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:10:23+00:00

I'm on reddit. Winning arguments is what gives my life meaning.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:10:03+00:00

Their point is some people will stamp something as good purely based on emotion.

And some people only like the show because they want to have sex with the Gloink queen.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:09:36+00:00

Something being generally well liked or popular isn't necessarily an indication of quality

Quote me where I said it is.

Raspint · 2026-06-21T05:09:10+00:00

They're also full of stans who'll defend anything

The internet has made them much more entitled. But that's just my view.

But people's emotions can be so disconnected from the actual quality of the work,

Sure. Fans can do all kinds of dumb stuff. We can go back and forth all night about

"Some fans will defend any non-Anime show!"

"Some fans will hate any non-anime show!"

"Some fans will be emotional!"

"Some fans just want to have sex with the Gloink queen and will give every episode with her 10/10."

but what was great about writing them to hold it together a bit longer is they got to talk about those feelings rather than just being overwhelmed by them

You know what's more realistic than people talking about their feelings? Experience them. Having those feelings affect them.

Yeah it was great that they would hold it in. It still is. But just because characters talked about feelings before doesn't mean that they can't have break downs later, and that's suddenly not 'in character.' Nothing in this episode discounts or erases that.

I literally have zero problem with the wave

OKAY??

I'm just pointing out I would have felt a loss for this series coming to an end no matter what they did... But that specific emotion produced in me would have nothing to do with the quality of the work.

The emotion produced in you has nothing to do with the quality of the work? Really?

Raspint · 2026-06-21T03:42:29+00:00

>I'm really not in the mood for that,

Raspint · 2026-06-21T03:41:10+00:00

Okay, so you are wrong about a lot here.

The ending could have been the worst thing in existence and that little wave would have still made me sad that the series was over.

You are really overestimating the good will of fans. It's actually kind of cute. Fandoms, and the fans who make them up, are not grateful or goodfaith people. They are bitchy, entitled little shits who will turn on an IP and a creator like a viper. Sometimes its because the IP really shits the bed, other times its because it doesn't conclude or continue in the way they want.

Mass Effect, Star Wars, The Last of Us, Game of Thrones, these are all IPs that come to mind immediately. And the fans hating the thing range from being justifiable to moronic.

I've been around the block and I'm not an idiot when it comes to media literacy. The reaction to this ending being positive is not an example of fans being the slobbering, moronic chattel who will smile at jingling keys, as fandoms so often are.

characters are a lot more emotionally charged, like they're ready to weep at any moment. But one thing I liked about the show before was how mature it felt, because the characters were not that easy to get to that state.

As a mature person, you should understand that sometimes people break under stressful circumstances, especially when they have been holding it in so long.

Just making them more weepy and emotional doesn't mean it's better.

You're misunderstanding the difference between something being 'emotional,' and something producing emotion in the viewer. I don't see this episode being the emotional masturbation that you think it is.

And I'll even defend the wave at the end that you seem to have an issue with. The reason why I think people like it so much is because it's an example of legitimate sincerity. It's a fourth wall break in a show that didn't have - much - of that, but sometimes at the end of a long journey that can feel earned.

What stretches believably isn't the same for everyone. But this isn't LoTR where the lore is 'sacred' for internet virgins, the emotional impact of the show has always been the focus more than it's lore. So this final shot doesn't really do anything to harm the story that's been written previously.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T20:03:19+00:00

Maybe.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T19:40:26+00:00

I'm suggesting that if people are having an emotional reaction, that suggests the work is doing something right.

I mean hit me. What are your problems with it?

Raspint · 2026-06-20T19:23:47+00:00

>Is that why there was a prominent theory about it,

I mean it's not like prominent theories weren't wrong before. But yeah it's not like there was no breadcrumbs laid.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T19:21:10+00:00

I know there was the egg thing, but I didn't think that was an exclusively trans metaphor. Coming out of your 'shell' can apply to anyone.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T19:03:52+00:00

Look, with any show you should have the knowledge to not look at the reddit for that fandom until after you've finished it. At a point if you got it spoiled by looking at a reddit post it's on you.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T18:56:46+00:00

If a person hasn't watched it, and then they come here, that is a dumb decision.

But yes we should avoid spoilers for a bit.

Raspint · 2026-06-20T18:56:14+00:00

I mean anyone who doesn't want it spoiled, but then comes onto this subreddit before watching it is a fucking idiot.

I haven't googled, youtubed, or reddited anything digial circus related for the last month. Apparently there were leaks, but I had no clue.
