[🦇 jude 🦇 @ #1 maki zen'in fan @rwbye]

its become pretty obvious to me that a lot of people conflate an explanation with an excuse. like... yall know those are two different things, right? trying to make someone understand something isnt fishing for forgiveness, just trying to make it clear. but i guess thats too hard

Final farewell 🎀

Now that the finale is out in YT, I need to say it: I love the fact that they didn't show us Gangle actually forgiving Jax. Like, Jax is very well-written and all but I love the nuance of abuse victims not necessarily having to forgive their abusers while still understanding them

[Chai (funnybunny era) @SoftFurSunlight]

Rachel Bighead was a lovely, innocuous trans character who was written by a cis guy. Jax is a red-raw, visceral trans character written by a trans woman to represent her demons and hypothetical worst ending. You can't compare the two and it's shitty that you tried.

[✨️Claire✨️ @SteelCityClaire]

never seen a more perfect metaphor for 'i realized im probably trans but im choosing not to deal with it right now and trying my hardest not to think about it'

[ari .. DELTARUNE CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS @clockworksDream]

after the finale discussion dies down we need to enter the bespoke era of trans jax debate: it was subtextually implied BEFORE episode 9.

"why should i pay attention to a story if MY favorite character isnt on screen" is for sure one of the most takes ever

zooble is an interesting foil to jax because they’re just like. a normal person who has issues too but learns that its okay to be open and talk about them

[Holiday @holidaythefox]

Hot Take: I think digital circus fans are a great example on how media literacy rates are declining and how the death of the author is more prevalent now than ever.

I will say it.

Queer characters should be allowed to be flawed, to be messy, to majorly screw up.

Like any other character in fiction that happens to be straight or CIS.

And it's not faulty writing: it's about depicting people with nuance, whether they're LGBTQ+ or not.

You can tell Jax is a trans woman because people constantly blow every problematic thing she does way out of proportion.

“jax is terrible trans representation” - a cis person

[NoveyVTT (Partner grind)🔮❣️ @MainsSupport]

May be a controversial opinion from what I'm seeing online but I think Jax is actually good trans representation for what people are actually like when they try to repress instead of accepting themselves. I have been openly trans for about a decade, was on hormones for almost a full year, and one of the best things you can do for yourself when you're like that is meet other openly trans people. And because I've done that, I can confidently say, a lot of repressed trans people, are HUGE PIECES OF SHIT before they come out. I wanna be clear, this is by no means the universal experience, because being trans like being human is not a universal experience.

I knew a trans person who before they came out was a huge racist because they fell into the 4Chan trap. I knew a few who were mysoginists and incels before they came out. A lot of repressed trans people have a tendency to fall into bad crowds that feed the worst parts of them. And Jax is a perfect example of what happens when you try to deny, repress, and smother a part of yourself. When you try everything you can to ignore it. To snuff it out. Oftentimes, hurting ourselves hurts the people around us more than we intend to, realize, or even see.
I found Jax to be such a fucking refreshing change for trans rep because they weren't the fuckin butt of a bad joke. They weren't some "you had sex with a man" joke or "ladyboy" like I often see in the media or some snowflake "it's ma'am" joke. Jax wasn't some cis character that was YEARS LATER retconned into being trans. Jax wasn't literally a man wearing wearing a tutu or dress like I see in anime. Jax wasn't a femboy or a trap. They weren't sexualized or fetishized. They were just a person, struggling with two parts of themselves that couldn't find common ground. And that is by far, THE BEST TRANS REP I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE. They were so relatable and even the parts I didn't specifically relate to, I knew actual people who could and had gone through those phases in their life.

Jax isn't bad representation. You just don't know enough trans people to see the parts that resonate with people. And if you still don't believe it, the creator has confirmed it multiple times.
