 « Why it looks like you fight against transfem Jax being canon ? »

I got two asks asking that so i’m going to respond here:

(That MY opinion as someone who see transfem Jax as not canon, that ok to disagree, that ok to see it as canon, but don’t be mean, I insulted anyone)

I'm not against transfem Jax as a headcanon. What I'm against is the way it's often treated as if it's undeniably canon and then used to shut down anyone who has a different interpretation

The biggest issue isn't the headcanon itself, it's that some people use it as an excuse to harass others. I've seen people reply with fan wiki pages, Gooseworx art, or comments from a VA and say, « See? Jax is transfem. You're transphobic if you disagree. » That's not a healthy way to engage with fandom.

As far as I'm aware, this wasn't established in the show itself. 3 years after it started, show ended, an illustration or out-of-show comment became something that many people now present as official canon, and that distinction often gets lost

The other thing people need to understand is that it's become incredibly difficult to find content about Jax that isn't centered on this one interpretation. Some people always say,  « Just block the tags» ,but that doesn't really solve the problem when so much Jax content is tagged normally or when this interpretation feels dominant in the whole character's fandom space including communities and fanfics. Wanting more variety doesn't mean I'm attacking anyone's headcanon.

Honestly, I genuinely miss what this fandom used to feel like…For like three years, Jax was a character fans interpreted in dozens of different ways, and that diversity was one of my favorite things about being here, there wasn't only one one « correct » way to see Jax.. It made searching for fan content exciting because every artist and writer brought something unique… Now it feels like I mostly see the same interpretation over and over again, and feels like soooo much of that creativity and variety has been overshadowed. Feels like this has become so dominant that everything else gets pushed , and if you don't share it, you're treated like a problem, a transphobic I don't want anyone to stop enjoying transfem Jax, I just personally miss when there was room for every interpretation without people feeling like they had to defend why they saw the character differently.

I also miss when people didn't have to constantly defend or justify their pov about Jax just to be accepted in the fandom

I miss when fans could have different headcanons without arguments, harassment, or accusations. We didn't all have to agree, and that was okay

People should absolutely be free to enjoy transfem Jax. Other people should be just as free to enjoy different interpretations without being harassed or accused of bigotry over a fictional character.

And just to be clear, calling something a headcanon isn't dismissing it or saying it's « less valid » to enjoy. Headcanons are a huge part of fandom, and people should absolutely be free to imagine characters however they like, including as transfem of course The problem starts when a headcanon is presented as unquestionable canon or used to tell other fans that their interpretation is wrong or that they're a bad person for not sharing it. Different interpretations can coexist That's what makes fandom fun, and nobody should be pressured into accepting only one version of a character

[builderlife]

Apparently my greatest talent is having to answer the same accusation on repeat 😅😓

So, first, sorry if that post was a bit too direct., that's just how I write sometimes..

But honestly... I'm genuinely tired of explaining the same thing over and over. My opinion hasn't changed at all and I'm not trying to fight anyone's ideas about Jax I just wish people would just… like stop assuming the worst about me and actually read what I said. It's really exhausting to constantly have to defend myself over a fictional rabbit when all I've ever wanted is for different interpretations to be able to coexist…

Have a good day/night.

Okay but like... you're just wrong? Not just about your interpretation of Jax but about the way you approach media in general. You are VERY anti-intellectual in your thinking and see things in black and white terms. That's why you're getting so much hate. Because your basic understanding of how media WORKS is wrong and flawed.

[grandplay]

You aren’t an artist. And you’re definitely not an animator. If you use ai in any way, you’re a hack. A slop generating piece of shit that nobody wants to engage with.

Either learn how to actually draw and take the time to grow as an artist or get the fuck out of here. We do not tolerate ai generated SLOP over here.

Your language is completely abusive and uncalled for. I create my own animations and OCs using the tools that work for my creative process, I mean I don’t even know what your problem is or why you are wrongfully taking your anger out on me, but I am not doing anything wrong. I am not destroying the planet and plus the planet is beautiful outside and check outside my window and nothing bad is happening so don't prank text me again, your aggressive, made-up accusations are clearly just an attempt to harass me. Stop blaming me for things I didn't do

[ad127]

1. Using ai hurts the enviroment. You’re not going to see the effects of it outside your window, but you’re going to feel the effects of it on every hot day that persists well into winter because ai is generating so much heat it’s global warming the planet and using up our drinkable water.

2. You have other tools you can use. Like a pen and paper. If you have to use ai to generate anything, nobody wants to see it because you’ve put no effort into it. If you don’t want to take the time and effort to create something, why the fuck should anyone give you the time and attention you’re craving?

3. I’m hostile because you’re a child trying to make shit and pass it off as talent. You’re not talented. You’re a slop generator and we do not appreciate slop generation here on this platform. You don’t want to get negative feedback? STOP MAKING AI SHIT AND LEAVE.

Oppose

[sapphiresaphics]

And we hate how your “criticisms” amount to attacking a trans woman based on nonsense and cherry picked outrage.

Valid criticisms of the ending: “the pacing was weird.” Or “I wish other characters got more spotlight.” Or “I would have liked more lore drops.”

Invalid criticisms: “GOOSEWORX IS A RACIST AND ANYONE WHO LIKES THIS SHOW IS ALSO A RACIST BY ASSOCIATION AND ALSO ALL OF THE PEOPLE WHO MADE THE SHOW ARE RACISTS!”

[vlrsthings]

Lol you're just proving my point, i never attacked a Trans woman stop putting words in my mouth, you're exactly who I'm talking about. Most of the criticism you think isn't valid is actually valid.

It's funny how i didn't even mentioned gooseworx in my post yet you brought her into this. People criticizing the last episode ≠ them being transphopic and calling other people racist.

I'm obviously talking about people who attack others for not liking the ending.

Take a break from the internet you really need it since you started making arguments in your head and replying to them. I pity you

[ad127]

“I’m gonna make a blanket statement about the fandom! Oh no! I received a blanket statement about my post! How dare!”

Geeze, what a weenie.

[sorryiwasasleep]

no no no no no no no fuck this tumblr app update it immediately makes the app less user friendly, what the fuck do you mean I can’t just click reblog and REBLOG, i can’t just click on the notes to SEE them, I hate this I hate this I hate this @staff @support boo, 0/10 stars, this update sucks and is going to make engagement worse

[ad127]

So fun fact… a lot of MAGA Republicans actually believe that antifa actually stands for “anti-first amendment” thanks to FOX NEWS. That’s why they’re so resentful towards antifa, they literally think it means a movement to take their guns away.

[o0micachu0o]

Such big talk from someone who's ego is so fragile that they'd go as far as to trash talk past employees solely because she was afraid of people going off and doing their own thing instead of working only on her crap 🤸🏾‍♀️💨

[ad127]

I’ve yet to see LEGIT criticism of her that isn’t MAGA level stupidity, so frankly I’m still on her side here. You guys are fucking nut jobs.

[melis-hellis]

this means nothing lol but my autistic ass has to point out that the first major animated disney-released movie to come out after the owl house debuted was onward, which featured a van named guinevere, and the main characters have blue skin and hair. 5 years later dana terrace makes a show literally called "knights of guinevere", a scathing criticism of capitalism and large corporations like disney, featuring a mechanical princess named guinevere who has blue hair and skin.

[ad127]

That was Pixar, not Disney.

[avesblues2]

Tragedy in so many ways, another school shooting, an innocent man killed in front of his family...yet all the left can shout is gun control...of course

[ad127]

You…. Don’t think we should advocate for gun control? After a man was killed in front of his family and there was another school shooting??? This isn’t the time for that?

When is the time for it? Also why is this only a left issue?

[avesblues2]

Literally the comments surrounding all of this are so evil and sickening but demons love to celebrate death

[ad127]

Two things can coexist.

1. Killing people is wrong.

2. Charlie Kirk spent his life championing and pushing for the extremism that ultimately got him killed.

It’s not celebrating to acknowledge that.

[percistent]

The left is irredeemably radical and violent. They need to be purged.

[ad127]

Charlie Kirk thinks children deserve to die so you can own a gun. Charlie Kirk platformed literal Nazis. Charlie Kirk supports Trump, a convicted felon who asked his followers to attack the government.

You’re the problem, not the left.

[percistent]

The lawlessness and violence we experience are a choice that those with power make. We could stop the overwhelming majority of this. We could be allowed to defend ourselves. We could return to a high-trust society.

We don't have to live like this. You should hate the people doing this to you.

[ad127]

Charlie Kirk says kids who die in mass shootings are necessary casualties. Love that you’re advocating killing children.

[beardedmrbean]

Maybe I'm at that geezer age (despite being in my mid 20s) but seeing my dash celebrate the recent news about Kirk is just...awful. Sure, he may have had some points that were contentious to me but he was also willing to debate them if you were willing to as well. Psychotic fucking behavior being shown all around, excuse my language.

Prayers to his family and friends, and take a moment to be with your loved ones as well everyone.

It's ghoulish.

If god forbid someone put a bullet in gavin newsome I would not cheer about it, same for people like rosie and whoopie and several others.

I'd probably just say nothing, which is fine to do in these situations I think.

[honne-ga-deru]

For real like...

I literally agree with nearly nothing he said but like. Celebrating the murder of random political influencers is just opening the door for that happening more and more to BOTH sides of the political spectrum.

[ad127]

He wasn’t some “random political influencer.” He was one of the biggest political figures actively pushing Q-Anon, Right wing, MAGA conspiracy theories and lies. His company helped finance bribing the Supreme Court that is actively taking away your constitutional rights right now. He actively mocked when other political figures were shot and told kids who were traumatized by school shootings that they were “necessary causalities.”

He was actively one of the WORST HUMAN BEINGS on the fucking PLANET.

[softmatzohtruther]

thinking about that time i (an art major) was hanging out with a guy (an engineering major) in college and the conversation got onto the topic of what art is and i said i have a rock solid, completely non-subjective definition that i go by, which he was very interested to hear. so i told him, "art is the product of human expression" and he did NOT like to hear that because that definition did not distinguish between different mediums of expression or quality or purpose of the art. and i told him that beyond that point there is no way to avoid subjectivity in the definition, and that there is no objective way to decide what forms of expressions qualify as art beyond its core purpose -- human expression. he let the conversation die after that

i suspect that my definition would still upset a lot of people, especially computer guys, but i really can't imagine a better definition for art. art exists as a product of human expression, our interpretation of existence -- without humans, there is no art, just the world existing for its own sake

[ad127]

I’ve always held a similar belief. Even something as utilitarian as a lamp post has an exterior that needs to be designed for more than just its raw function.

BREAKING: In an insane moment, Stephen Miller spews blatant lies about Trump's failing economy. On a day with only 22,000 jobs added, he says Trump "presided over the most extraordinary economic turnaround in history."

Nobody believes this nonsense.

[ad127]

Nobody NEEDS to believe it. He’s not playing to US. He’s playing to TRUMP. You can’t shame shameless people by pointing out their hypocrisy. They don’t CARE.

[evilnicegirl]

i hope that someday there will be no more advertisements ever again

[yokelfelonking]

Ima tell y'all something wild, something that a lot of you probably won't believe and I don't blame you.

There was a narrow period in the late 90's - early 2000's wherein the ads were actually good. They were entertaining. They were the best thing on TV (although that says just as much for the slop on TV as it does for the quality of the ads).

I remember hanging out with a bunch of folks and the TV was on and it was...I don't even remember what, folks talking over it, no one paying attention to it really, and then the ads came on and everyone was like "shut up, I want to see this ad, this one's really good! Oh, here's another good one, I love this one!" Everyone got quiet and paid attention to the ads.

Of course, I don't remember what a single one of those ads were for so they couldn't have been that great in making you remember the product, but at least they were entertaining.

[ad127]

The problem isn’t that ads aren’t entertaining. Ads have always been entertaining. It wasn’t some peak that happened in the 2000’s.

What’s changed is the frequency.

I see more ads now on YouTube than I ever did on cable TV growing up. I see more ads on Instagram and Facebook and Twitter than ever in my life. The amount of ads have SKYROCKETED since I was a kid.

You’re not nostalgic for good ads. You’re nostalgic for a time when ads weren’t as omnipresent as they are now.

[mariacallous]

The way I know that most progressives and leftists aren’t serious about power and change is because they won’t take imperfect candidates they can ride as far as they want and build up strength and use them to benefit themselves. Because that’s what the republicans did and do and it’s paid off for them.

[ad127]

It bugs the SHIT out of me when I see liberal news outlets doing reports about how “Trump’s base is turning on him!” or that there is “MAGA infighting!”

Because at the end of the day… IT DOES NOT MATTER. No matter how shitty and dysfunctional the Republican Party and base are… they ALWAYS (and I do mean ALWAYS) vote in unison no matter what.

Trump’s latest scandal is LITERALLY about him being a pedophile, and yet if there was a presidential vote next week you can bet your ASS that the entire Republican Party would vote lock step with him 100%.

Democrats saw Biden slurring a few words here and there and freaked out. Trump literally can’t spell his own last name and babbles incoherently for hours. Why the fuck can’t liberals and democrats LOCK IN???? This shouldn’t be so fucking HARD.

[newsandstuffisee]

[ad127]

The biggest takeaway the republicans had from the Watergate fallout was that they needed a dedicated news outlet covering only their side of the story.

So in the 80’s they worked on relaxing television regulations and dismantling the fairness doctrine.

Then they created FOX News.

As in literally one of Nixon’s cronies invented FOX News as a way to spread Republican propaganda.

And since then they’ve systematically dismantled and led us continuously into recession and turned everything political and created such a MASSIVE divide in the country that the idea of Democrats and Republicans working together looks quaint and antiquated now.

I maintain my belief that this country will never truly heal from the damage FOX News has caused until it has been completely obliterated. Deplatforming works. Look at what happens to Alex Jones once he was FINALLY held accountable for spreading his conspiracy theory bullshit. We need to do that to the entire Republican Party or we will never truly be free from their Christian nationalist ideology.
