I hate this side of the fandom who want to off load any personal responsibility from Jax and make everyone else around him the problem.

Hot take: This is the moment I lost favor with Ribbit.

She told Jax something personal, then said it was her way of showing she trusted him. Then she asked if he trusted her.

That put him in an awkward, pressured position to open up before he was ready. He had already told her he was homeless, so clearly he was willing to share some things, just not everything.

The vibe is almost like someone undressing in front of you, saying, “This is me showing I trust you,” and then asking, “Do you trust me?” It creates this uncomfortable pressure for the other person to undress too, even if they weren’t ready for that kind of intimacy.

And then afterward, if they feel exposed, embarrassed, or ashamed, they might not want anyone else knowing that moment happened. Not because the intimacy meant nothing, but because they weren’t ready to be that vulnerable in the first place.

I’m not excusing Jax, but it does make it more understandable why he avoided Ribbit afterward, or why he thought she was prying to hold something over his head, just like his mother did. Just like his father did.

Not saying it’s all Ribbit’s fault, but if she wanted to share something personal with him, it shouldn’t have been used to get something personal from him in return.

When Jax asked, “What more do you need to know?” Ribbit should have left it there, or said something like, “Nothing. I trust you. That’s all you need to know.”

“Do you trust me?” creates an uncomfortable unspoken obligation for him to share something back. No wonder he freaked out afterward.

TBH There are a lot trans women who are shitty and very misogynistic to other women. Y'all just want to pretend it doesn't happen.

[Meowcha ☆ @MetaruSonikku_]

Making the character that only bullied Female Characters including one into suicide and sexually harassed another one, with him killing himself in the end to avoid consequences, into a trans woman is actually the most horrible thing to write

@vyxper I'm not brand new. People will always argue/debate things on the internet.

@vyxper Welcome to the internet where people can have an opinion about your opinion. If you don't want people arguing about your opinion, don't post it online.

I'm glad Jax killed himself.
Bro had a kill count and he had to go.

@vyxper " I don't blame ribbit but....."

That was her whole post. She literally starts it off by saying how she lost favor for Ribbit.

@hope_and_what I think the person who made another person kill themselves is clearly the bad guy. But I could be tripping 😬

@hopepawz @arisqueso @JoesMama1051796 Oh my God that annoying thinking "you're just as bad as them" just makes it sound like you and others think victims should be walked all over without fighting back.
Take this extreme comparison as an example example: " You're just as bad as Hitler for wanting him dead."

@LilithLovett You were literally calling people who didn't agree with you untraumatized teenagers. Like having/experiencing trauma put you on a different level as people. You're that type of annoying and a hypocrite.

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

I think the dumbest takes to have ever came from #tadc finale is people trying to paint Ribbit as the problem for doing normal friendship things.

I even saw someone say that she had a codependency problem and she put it all on Jax. Like, bro.
Folks woobify Jax too much.

@hopepawz @arisqueso @JoesMama1051796 Someone getting revenge for being mistreated is not equally toxic. Tf

@NevermoreNight_ Normal friendship stuff is now being codependent 😭

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

So you go out your way for a fictional traumatized character but telling potentially traumatized teenager that they're stupid and wrong is okay?? Bro, pick a side and stop being a hypocrite.

[☠️ Lilith Lovett ☠️ same @ on 💙☁️🦋 @LilithLovett]

Most of the people leaving these comments are teenagers too, I've noticed. Untraumatized behavior.

@arisqueso @JoesMama1051796 You think someone having a soft spot for their abuser is a beautiful thing and not a toxic trait to have? 😬

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

@kingslim445 @darkmario66 @Startheskeleto1 Their dynamic is portrayed pretty clear. It just seems you're either not paying attention or pretending it's not there to woobify Jax.

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

@kingslim445 @darkmario66 @Startheskeleto1 The reason he probably didn't do anything is because he's not used to Gangle not being a doormat for him. Just because she had a moment of get-back doesn't suddenly mean he wasn't an abuser to her 99% of the time.

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

@kingslim445 @darkmario66 @Startheskeleto1 For fucks sake, she was terrified that he would do something to her hurt her because she didn't want to be his partner for an adventure. That should be proof enough how routine his harassment towards her is for her to get that way

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

@kingslim445 @darkmario66 @Startheskeleto1 Do you really need multiple episodes of Jax being an abusive and bullying ass for you to understand that he's an abusive and bullying ass?
The show only needed to give a couple of hints and show his attitude towards gangle for us to get their dynamic.

[Minerva  @MinveraBot]

@kingslim445 @darkmario66 @Startheskeleto1 Don't be intentionally naive. It's shown in the show that he's been bullying and harassing her for a long time. And that's partially why she is the way she is.
