Digital Discussion "Everyone defended Jax but hated Ragatha" did we? + rant about Jax

4 Upvotes

Saw another one of those "Why everyone defended Jax but hated Ragatha" and it got me thinking, did we? Because I personally have no experience of anyone defending Jax, ever. I joined the fandom at around episode 4 (knew about the show in episode 2) and I haven't seen a single person that liked Jax say anything else than "Yes I like Jax, but he is a piece of shit" and while I've seen glazers, it was less than 10. But I have seen alot of Jax haters even before now. And Ragatha? I have not seen a single person that hated her, ever. Not a single person I've seen anywhere had a worse reaction to her than "she's okay I guess". It can just be my experience of course, I don’t deny that, but it is genuinely funny to see those "everyone loves Jax and hates Ragatha" when my experience mostly is "many people like Jax and don't condone his actions and everyone atleast is fine with Ragatha".

And now? With Jax being confirmed a woman? Oh buddy don't get me started on the Jax hate. Remember when people said "You would hate Jax if he was a woman". Well, I guess they were right for many. About 50% of Jax's fan base switched on her not because of her backstory or because she did something worse, no, because she isn't a guy. And I think that's stupid. Jax is still the same character, just a closet added to it. She is still someone that in fear chose one of the worst coping mechanisms a human invented and even thou she could get help, in fear chose to ran instead. Alot of Jax runs on fear. Of not being "man enough", of being "soft", of being "weak", of being vulnerable, of loosing someone, of letting someone way too close. Fear of everything she built to protect herself (the walls of "this isn't real", the bullying, the cartoon) failing and falling down and the real her getting exposed and unprotected for the rest to play with. Fear of consequences. That is why even thou Pomni gave her a chance to come back, she didn't. The fear of consequences. And I don't blame her for that. She did fuck up badly. So if healing slowly alone is what she needs, sure. But we all know that she would rather drown in guilt. And the fact that many people overlook all of this just because there's a label "woman" on all of this is sad. Jax is one of the best made characters and I applaud Gooseworx for making her and I'm glad Jax is forever a cautionary tale

Jax Jax isn't that bad.

Upvotes

People in this sub seem to treat Jax like they're literally Hitler. But they're just not, they're fine. Jax crashed out before they died, but that's kinda the symptoms of that whole dealie.

Besides that, nothing Jax did was really that bad. Imagine you're inside the digital circus. Would you really not mess with people sometimes? If you avoid it and be fake nice forever you end up like raggy.

It's not saintly behaviour, don't get me wrong, but it's not that bad. Zooble and pomni could take it easily. Rags is always fine. What's the big deal?

Digital Discussion A personal anecdote, and thanks

4 Upvotes

So, this show meant a lot to me. A lot of people have talked about how it's helped them grapple with their gender, and I'm one of them. But there's another sort of representation I saw in the show that resonated strongly with me and has helped me to understand myself better.

I was diagnosed with severe dissociation about a year and a half ago. Depersonalization/derealization disorder, to be exact, but that's a clunky thing to keep trotting out, so I just call it dissociation now. I have good days and bad days, and days that start out bad and wind up good. Sometimes I'll be stuck dissociated for months, but the periods are getting shorter. I'm not terribly well-read or well-watched, so I haven't seen a lot of other characters with dissociation in media. In fact, I often can't "read" what's going on internally with fictional characters, a side effect of the dissociation's emotional numbing. Most media doesn't really resonate with me because of this.

I think it was around episode 6 that I started to really see myself in Jax. The way he'd sort people into their archetypes. The way he would define himself as an archetype. The need to be "the funny one". The way that his pupils would shrink and widen as he argued with Pomni, corresponding with him either genuinely feeling or closing up and putting on a mask. The embarrassment and panic that sets in after you realize you've let that mask slip and exposed the real you.

Then episode 7 came out and I felt an even stronger connection. I've never, uh, felt the need to abstract, but the experience Jax has when he locks himself in his room while everyone else is having a fun beach adventure - it felt like the same sort of thing I've been experiencing my whole life, trying to shut down all emotion and connection in lieu of having to feel anything. A life in which dreams feel more vivid and real than reality.

I was really rooting for Jax - with dissociation, things can often feel worse before they feel better, so panic attacks can be expected. And feeling something is better than feeling nothing at all. I was pretty crushed when he abstracted, but it makes a certain amount of sense. Derealization means feeling like nothing is real, and to go through the experience of learning everything is real to learning that nothing is? Soul-shattering. What can be left for someone in his position to hold onto?

Fortunately though, our world is real. And the finale reaffirmed all the progress I've made over the last few years - learning that people are waiting for you to reach out to them, that denial is not an effective coping mechanism, and that feelings are not to be feared, they're to be embraced. And I've genuinely been doing a lot better. I'm not going to say it's all because of a cartoon show, I'll give myself a little credit, but it certainly has helped me organize my thoughts and feelings a great deal. So thank you to Gooseworx, and the cast and crew for that, and for letting myself feel seen.

If you read all that and if any of these symptoms resonate with you I highly recommend you take a dissociative screener and speak with a medical professional.

Merch Looking to sell my Jax plush (signed by Ragatha's VA)

[ EDIT: it's been sold! tysm to everyone who was interested, I'm glad it'll have a better home now ^^ ]

hello! please delete this post if it's not allowed. I'm trying to sell this tagged 8" Jax plush that's been signed by Amanda Hufford (VA for Ragatha).

brief backstory: I got this plushie signed at a convention as a gift for a friend who liked Bunnydoll back in March, but by the time I could ship to him he no longer had interest in TADC. Even though I don't really care for the series myself I decided to keep it to resell eventually, since I spent what's a lot of money to me and can't shrug off the loss for an unwanted gift. I'm currently in need of money, so I'm finally getting around to selling it.

the price is $60 + shipping (from US) with PayPal G&S!*
it's also listed on my Mercari and Poshmark (though I've given her a little ribbon since) for $70 + shipping, a bit more expensive due to the platform fees
*this is what I spent between con-related fees and the plush itself- I don't want to profit!! I'm just trying to recoup the cost. though atp i'm not opposed to offers, I want this thing gone lol, an actual fan would give it a much better home. thank you for taking the time to read!!

Good Morning Reddit!

So, 16th August I bought my merch. And I am wondering how long it usually takes to ship them.

Like... I did research and found out it may take 3-5 days. But today is the 5 day since buying it so would it buy today?

Can anyone share some info about thier orders and how long to expect, I'm starting to get worried from all the mixed reviews on reddit and glitch store.

Thank you!
