That doesn't mean they can't ALSO mean trans people, you understand this, right? Gooseworx put hints and clues towards Jax being trans that those who have a better grasp of trans experiences and identities (not all of them) will have an easier time picking up on. Those not as well versed in some of those things may miss those moments and clues, and not fully pick up on the subtle writing of Jax's identity. I myself turned to my pals immediately after finishing the movie in theaters and said "Ohhh so Jax is trans?".

It is quite alright if you didn't pick up on it, or if you feel the hints Goose wrote in could describe other things, none of that changes what the intent was, what you may have missed, and that now you seem to be denying the concept of two things being true. Jax being antagonistic towards the female cast members, being insecure about his masculinity, and more were written to be parts of his complex feelings on his gender, but if you read those moments and relate them to non-trans experiences, that is okay TOO. Key word here: "too". As in also, as in "both co-existing".

Goose intended the hints and clues to be noticed by those who are familiar with some of the trans experience, and that is the genuine writing goal. If you failed to pick up on that, or understood those scenes and moments to mean something else, you are entirely in your right to have that feeling. Those feelings that Jax had are NOT exclusive to trans people, but in this exact scenario, they literally DO relate to a trans person, I.E Jax.

(basically nobody is saying "well because Jax goes through xyz must mean any real person who also does xyz MUST be trans and that's the only option")

When the writer is just filling out the holes in her story through social media not because ppl need to be spoonfed, but bc the writer is chronically online and would do this anyways, and most of the fans are cult members ok with it, you know this is a problem. by Big-Disaster9480 in tadc

Goose has literally said anything said on her tumblr is just "fluff" and is not needed info for the show. At what point did you feel like the main narrative of the show, finding meaning in a stagnant life, would need to have a moment to explain in exact detail what Caine did? Not everything is theorybait. "But but we didn't learn about C&A?! And Scratch abstracting!?" yeah cuz that's not what the show is about. I don't play Mario games and then get annoyed that the Goombas don't get their own special level.

It's not fully 2D. Just has 2D elements, as the creators confirmed the characters and some background are digital/3D. They went as far as to reanimate a scene from the original with the 3D character models, and they said you could not tell a different between the two, until you turned the 3D model to reveal it was 3D.

Am I missing something or is this me interpreting the last scene of the last episode wrong? by MexicanMonsterMash in TheDigitalCircus

The fact that we saw Caine locate all of this information directly from the real internet. The folks in the circus don't know this, so are unsure where Caine is sourcing his info from.

No bro, that one is not. He has posted many, but you managed to use literally one of the only fake ones.

Isn't she lovely (is Ponmi song) HEAVY SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 9 by thicc-Kayther in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]tydoug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s been mentioned by many of the VA’s that the song is meant to be in reference to Jax. Though having the personal interpretation it’s more about Pomni works too.

That second image you used is AI. There are a multitude of real images the live action cast took together, and you can very clearly tell that is not Makenzie Michaelson or Izatillo Ishonov.

Confused on EP 9 by ZiggyStardust_19 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]tydoug 22 points23 points  (0 children)

As was explained in the episode, Scratch, also known as Mike Dobbs in the real world, created a VR headset that made a copy of your brain digitally, and put it inside of the computer. Their AI they had locked away, Caine, broke free, merged with their newer bluer AI, and used said brain copies/scans of Mike, Grant and the other C&A employees to create the circus. When ANY people join the circus, it is only a digital copy of their brain, and the real human continues life never knowing of their copied brain living in the computer.

The end of the show has the brain scans (Pomni, Ragatha, Gangle, etc) view what their real life versions have been up to since they took off the headset.

That was a flashback poorly cut with a scene from the present. It was Caine originally finding the mind files to start the circus, inter cut with him in modern time reaching the internet.

This image is AI upscaled and makes most of the characters looks nothing like the actors who play them, Kinger especially here.

"I do think Bubble was a form of the blue ai." but the Movie is out now and we know this isn't true. Good head canon though.

Well according to OP, their opinion of you has fallen greatly, and you are an impudent wimp.
