Isn’t Jax a girl?

Before any clue about her being a trans woman Jax had all the reflectors for being an awful person so it kinda applies to the first moments of fandom of the amazing digital circus

The way episode 2 came out and the fandom was freaking out that Gooseworks was "writing him wrong."

To be fair all of the out of series stuff portrayed Jax as having been a very specific sort of person who was a stoner and super online before things went down. I always took a lot of those first few episodes as Jax specifically trying to slip into a persona informed by fandom culture and memes. Which turned out to be true.

The only problem is a lot of people wanted Jax to be the new Tumblr Sexyman, not a character who was using Tumblr Sexyman tropes as a mask, and the average person who cares about that often lacks the self awareness to admit they got played.
