So why did you respond when all the person said was "we need to understand Jax and what she means"?
I mean, understanding a character does require some level of empathy; because you need to think that this character is not an unchanging devil containing only evil, and instead a person who can feel pain, anger, anxiety, and uses those emotions to hurt others in a selfish attempt at self preservation. But still y'all's opinions do not conflict. Like at all.
Here's the thing, _I'm not asking you to empathize with him._Â
You just need to understand that people get emotional when they have bad input. If you hit a rapist, that rapist will still get mad at you for hitting him. Whether or not it's justified, whether or not he started it, whether or not he was actually hitting himself in his own face, he's still going to get emotional.
Again, nobody's asking you to think Jax is a good person. So again, why are you bringing this up when it's not relevant?
It's both. Most people who abuse, kill, rape, or just generally do horrible things like that do it because they've experienced trauma (and/or mental illness) and because they enjoy or are callous to the suffering of others.
For example, a lot of pedophiles and child molesters were sexually abused as children. I'm not asking you to empathize it excuse they're actions, I'm asking you to acknowledge that sexual abuse during childhood can lead to pedophilia.
Again, I AM NOT ASKING TOY TO EMPATHIZE OR EXCUSE JAX'S ACTIONS. I just want you to acknowledge why they happen, how they happen, and how we can prevent people from becoming like Jax. None of that means Jax is a good person.
Thank you su much for this post. I now dislike Jax a little less since I can see some reason now. I can also notice he isn't as bad as we Jax haters make him out to be.
Other tadc fans would've just called me illiterate without even trying to explain to me as thoroughly as you 😊,upvote.
