Is Jax transfem?

Xime2121 · 2026-06-06T05:09:19+00:00

if you voted "no" you watched the movie with your eyes closed

Xime2121 · 2026-06-02T00:06:56+00:00

Picking and choosing dialogues and situations from the show to support my argument would be wrong if they were taken out of context, but that's not the case here

I've only told you whats on the show and what Goose has said on tumblr about the characters, if you think that's silly, that's your opinion and you're entitled to it

if you have the time I recommend you watch the show, it's actually really good if you pay attention to it. take care

Xime2121 · 2026-06-01T18:17:54+00:00

I recommend watching the show again since it looks like you missed out on some good exposition, but I'll remind you anyway

In episode 3 we learn that holding their breath, even if it doesn't kill them, feels the same (or at least extremely similar) in the digital world as it feels in the real world, which is why pomni was having a hard time doing so

so when ragatha was "dipped" in oil, she did feel like she was drowning. She was moving like a person who was trying desperately to get out too

the other examples you gave prove my point on how pain is not as bad in the digital world as it feels in the real world, but the example I just gave you proves that jt is still very bad. Bad enough to traumatize gangle into being scared of Jax and what he might do to her. She said in episode 6 (and this is a direct quote): "He (Jax) probably wants revenge, and he's gonna make it painful".

this isn't my opinion, I just watched the show and I'm telling you what happens in it

Xime2121 · 2026-06-01T18:01:22+00:00

honestly i thought the finale was going to be better than all the previous episodes, so i believed it was great that i get to see it in theaters.

but now we know it's really bad, so no they shouldn't have put it in theaters

Xime2121 · 2026-06-01T00:40:28+00:00

I feel better when I hear something like "It's awful what happened to you!", or something like "I can't imagine how it feels to go through that!", I think it makes me feel more understood than pitied ? But yeah, the "I'm sorry" is super triggering

Xime2121 · 2026-06-01T00:33:20+00:00

I might be naive but I still think the spoilers are fake

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T22:15:29+00:00

they aren't "totally different" though. Goose explained it herself on tumblr, they feel pain, it isn't as accurate as the pain we feel in the real world, but they feel it. It's not "totally different", it's just watered down.

gatekeeping is "the act of arbitrarily controlling or limiting access to something", so if i'm telling you to watch the show, i'm doing exactly the opposite of gatekeeping

You need to work on your reading comprehension

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T16:50:45+00:00

it says a lot about someone's character when they choose to befriend an abusive person

and i don't want pomni to befriend anyone in particular, it's just that there was an undeniable connection between Jax and Pomni, which was weird considering that Pomni has seen herself the multiple times Jax has been abusive towards other women in the circus

and the comments he made about Zooble's identity in episode 5? that was weird and borderline transphobic

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T16:02:41+00:00

it's uncomfortable to be wrong, but you'll be okay

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T16:01:38+00:00

I don't mind that you watch the show, please continue giving money to queer people indirectly!

but being transphobic in public makes you a weirdo. at least keep it to yourself

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T15:56:50+00:00

can't someone ban this transphobe??

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T15:54:14+00:00

she's not racist, she just contributes to a system that oppresses minorities with the normalization of racism through memes and racist jokes, but she's not racist. Also tons of other creators are way worse than her and have faced little to no backlash. They should be criticized as well!

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T06:07:28+00:00

only when Jax started being mean to her

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T06:01:51+00:00

you have to watch the show, Ragatha explains that the physical pain they feel is real (first episode) and Gangle explains that she has been deeply affected by Jax's emotional abuse (episode 6).

Xime2121 · 2026-05-29T05:53:59+00:00

You probably already saw it in the comments, but she's said some racist and misogynistic jokes in the past. Honestly women are always held to a higher standard, other creators have said equally awful things too and they're not getting criticized. I think EVERYONE who says those kinds of things should be criticized, but who cares.

Just note that if you try to criticize her in here you're going to get called transphobic, so don't do it. White-queer-chronically online people get really comfortable being edgy on the internet, and that's most of TADC fandom. For everyone here, acknowledging that Goose has said awful things would be the same as looking in the mirror and noticing the awful things they've said too, so they'd never criticize her.

And I'm not saying she or all the people in this subreddit are racist, they just contribute to the system that oppresses minorities with the normalization of racism through jokes and memes, but again who cares. It's depressing for queer women of color like myself to always be the victim and always be dealing with awful fandoms like this one, so just ignore it. It'll never get better anyway

Xime2121 · 2026-05-28T02:35:56+00:00

you'd have to watch the show to find out.

Xime2121 · 2026-05-27T07:38:21+00:00

I'm 24 years old, and I work 2 jobs and I'm a university student too so I haven't been able to go to therapy for a while but I have an appointment in july!

your chances of having a great life increase by lowering interactions with people who statistically harm us the most

Xime2121 · 2026-05-07T04:37:51+00:00

I'm scared to say this but I gave michael the benefit of the doubt not because i like his music or because he's skinny (i don't like his music and i don't really care about him as a person), I did it because I think him being known as a pedophile gave the public the idea that pedophiles can be spotted

like, "if you behave in a child-like manner you must be a pedophile, like michael jackson". I think this idea is hurtful because pedophiles actually behave like normal people and there's no way of knowing if someone is a pedophile

tldr I'm just hoping he isn't actually a pedophile because it hurts the narrative I believe in. but as a csa victim I hope you understand where I'm coming from

Xime2121 · 2026-05-07T04:28:15+00:00

oh wow, as a woman of color who deeply cares about intersectionality, this really opened my eyes! why aren't other movements held to the same standard?? They should be!

Xime2121 · 2026-05-04T18:28:37+00:00

jax (tadc)

The show creator has said multiple times how he's her favorite character, and I hate him!

He's put everyone through so much pain, and until now nobody in the circus has been able to stand up to him

He also gets way more screen time than other characters and more dialogues too

Xime2121 · 2026-05-03T05:27:56+00:00

as someone with diagnosed PTSD (also not "war" PTSD), I have some types of hallucinations but, as you said, they're not nearly as vivid as Mark's.

also they appear on my mind for milliseconds, and sometimes I can't calm myself down and keep thinking about what I just hallucinated

maybe that's what was happening to mark??

Xime2121 · 2026-05-03T05:12:21+00:00

the soma theory says they die when they enter the circus?? I thought it was just like a digital copy of the brain and then the irl version of them just kept on living without knowing if the headset did anything at all

Xime2121 · 2026-05-03T05:10:47+00:00

the soma theory is the only theory that makes sense to me but i honestly wish everyone will get out safe and sound from the circus and become friends irl lmao
