And stuff like this is why I cannot stand all those tweets of "How dare Gooseworx make Jax sympathetic!!!!" Guess what chucklefucks, real life people can experience PTSD or trauma in a way that does make them lash out and hurt people....
Jax is a cautionary tale for a reason....
Cant be stressed enough that modern fandomites fundamentally do not understand the idea of a fictional character. Every show, game, etc might as well be reality TV
childhood bullying made me so terrified of being perceived as an annoying person to the point that i apologize to my friends constantly and it kills me that they thought those incessant apologizing implies that they were being mean to me
Jax is what you get when trans kids are forced to only consume brainwashing grifter toxic slop propaganda made to make you feel apathetic and self destructive instead of receiving gender affirming education and treatment but no ones ready for that conversation
the "issue" with jax's character arc is that its ugly. its unpalatable, especially to mainstream performative mental health awareness. but worst of all, its realistic. and refusing to engage with a realistic story because you personally dislike the character is willfully ignorant
we are in strange times where LGBT stories are practically everywhere, but truly queer stories are perhaps rarer across the arts than at any point since the late 60s.
The point of this scene isn't that Goob is an asshole. He has such low self-esteem that he's incapable of seeing himself as someone who could have friends or a good life. Also, kids films are not about actual outcasts, but the feeling of being misunderstood, which all kids feel.
we need to stop calling it "therapy speak" and start calling it pop psychology because that's what it is. the words you learned from tiktokers who read 'The Sociopath Next Door' and 'The Five Love Languages' are hurting you.
Thanks to your kindness, I was able to buy milk and diapers for my child. I’m truly grateful to everyone who stood with us. My child needs a new can of milk every two days, and our struggle continues. Your support and shares give our family hope. ❤️
