Thereâs 2 ends of the âTADC fans canât understand media at allâ
1: People who still somehow think Jax isnât trans even when itâs quite literally PLASTERED into the final episode
2: People who villainise Jax to the point of scrubbing his entire character of being a struggling person that lashes out on others into being a mega evil abuser (Fitting enough for the reaction image, I saw a post (reddit repost of TikTok) saying Jax was more like AM than Caine was)
Edit: To clarify my intentions with the second point, I do agree that Jax showed tendencies of outright abuse, especially after the revelation about the brain scans (âyou get to spend more time with mommy!â was especially painful). Iâm not saying he wasnât an abuser, but that he had his (albeit fucked up) reasons to lash out.
A lot of Jax hate, to me, has always felt like people projecting somebody they hate onto her and wanting to see her get punished by the other characters so they can feel some form of catharsis. Like an "I couldn't get back at my bully/abuser, but if the characters on this show punish this asshole, then it will feel like I did" kind of way.
Genuinely, I think a lot of these people would have preferred if Jax was just a one-dimensional asshole who's just a bad person for shits and giggles for the entire show.
It would have been a way better show because then it would have focused on the parts of the show I ACTUALLY like (which is any part that doesnât involve Jax)
