no wonder toby released chapter 5 in june this whole chapter is some of the gayest shit I’ve ever seen
Crack theory-
Was watching a recorded livestream after just finishing ch 5. And this dialogue hs no talk sprite.
Is Kris speaking here!? Did Kris hezitate!
So I’m gonna preface this by saying I don’t really use tumblr or any social media to “rant” about things. That said, I’ve been seeing a bunch of crap about transfem Jax and had to get into discussions about it with a friend.
I will say that I am a Jax hater. I believe the series wants me to feel that way but there’s more of an issue with the shows writing than anything else and the fact I probably need to rewatch it from start to finish. That issue doesn’t matter right now since this is a fandom issue.
Ever since Jax being a closeted trans woman was made explicitly canon, I have seen some of the worst takes on a character known to man. I even had to defend her since my friend tried to argue for some of the worst lines of thinking I’ve heard. I will add for context that neither my friend or I are trans. I am a white bisexual male and I obviously don’t know the struggles of a trans person.
That said, one of the biggest complaints that was brought up was that Jax was “bad trans rep” and pushed harmful stereotypes about trans women. This argument has always came across as disingenuous because it gives an idea that Jax did everything she did due to being trans instead of the outright stated reasons provided.
Jax was a self destructive, abusive monster of a person because of her circumstances. The movie spoon fed the viewers that Jax’s issues were caused by a horrible home life that resulted in the possible death of her abusive mother and homelessness. Hell, the follow up to the mother incident was Jax (Leroy) coming out to her mother and being met with a flurry of confusing messages that involved degrading insults and a hug.
Jax has all the evidence that her issues are a result of bottling up all her trauma and pain instead of working on themselves. This is further emphasized by the gun episode where she quite literally states “There’s nothing more to me… so please… just stop looking” they don’t want to form connections because they only view them as something that will only backfire to hurt. Due in part to their involvement in the abstraction (suicide) of two of her friends.
Jax isn’t a trans rep in the sense that she is a character revolved around being trans and her actions are related to it. Jax is a character who is a classic warning that holding onto trauma and taking out your pain on others will only result in the worst outcomes for everyone involved. They just happen to also be trans.
Jax being called bad trans rep is like saying DIO is bad bisexual representation because of how evil he is. Jax and DIO are in no way comparable due to DIO being several leagues above Jax in terms of criminality but the point stands that their actions and identity have little to do with each other.
I felt like I needed to add my 2 cents but, again, I am not trans. Please take the opinions of those who actually go through the journey of transitioning as they can provide more depth than I can ever hope to provide. I just felt the need to shout my thoughts into the void of the internet.

Ribbit is not fridged, fridging is a very specific literary critique
I need people to understand that fridging is something more specific then just "women dies" if you want to use it as a serious critique. There is criteria to be met here. Here's a good list of thumb.
Do the female characters suffer more in comparison to the male characters, especially in life altering ways?
Is the female character's death not given the same weight as to male deaths?
Do female characters not have a chance to recover from their trauma like male characters do?
Is the death sexualized or otherwise portrayed in a way that seems erotic?
Is it purely in service to another male character or general shock value to the audience?
Could the death be replaced with the destruction of an item belonging to a male character to have the same impact on the character?
Is the character not treated with respect and remembered after death?
Is this the only or one of very few main female character?
Are only female characters dying/not getting revived?
Does she not have personality or purpose beside her suffering/death?
If the answer to most of the above is yes, then it's probably fridging. So let's put Ribbit to the test
While Ribbit does suffer, her breakdown was very important, many other characters go through arcs of suffering, including male ones (or presumed male ones) jax, kinger, and caine, all have a lot of moments of suffering and breaking down. While hers was very visceral due to how seriously it was portrayed in comparison to say, Jax in a maid dress. So I'd say NO, she does not suffer more in comparison.
Her death is treated seriously as a tragedy similar to other abstracted members of the circus. If anything her death is one of the most important tragedies to the story, so NO, her death is in fact given more weight then male deaths like Kaufmo or Scratch.
Ribbit seems to have mostly comes to terms at least on a surface level to being on the circus, similar to other characters. While she doesn't get a chance to recover from the mental anguish of the argument... neither does Jax lmao he's just better at hiding it and it certainly seems to impact Kaufmo as well in ways he doesn't recover from either. So NO she's not signaled out for extra torment.
Her abstraction happens off screen and I certainly wouldn't call the horrifying prickly abstraction blobs they turn into the most traditionally fuckable thing. NO sexualization of her suffering is present.
While her death and how it impacts Jax is very important, her death also has a quite the impact on Ragatha as well and her relationship with Jax and the others in the circus and is not for shock value. However it does have a lot to do with Jax so I'll be generous and say YES her death and how it impacts a seemingly male character is important.
Ribbit's death and who she meant to Jax cannot be replaced by a sexy lamp, her emotional connections and friendship and ties to him are all very important to him. So, NO if Jax simply had his room ransacked, it would not push him into such extremes as her death did.
Ribbit's death is not forgotten, while we don't get to see her funeral because of how we were too late for that, Ragatha makes comments in relation to her, Jax clearly still thinks of her a lot. It wasn't a one arc and then forgotten kind of deal. So NO, she is in fact still treated with respect and emotional weight even long after her death.
The cast is very balanced in gender, With three male main characters, one nonbinary character, and three female ones. If you include all known named in show abstractions, that boosts it up to 5 v 5 (queenie and ribbit) (scratch and kaufmo). So NO, there is in fact a balanced rate of characters and abstractions.
As stated above, the ratio of male to female deaths is incredibly even, and if there was a bias towards which gender is death, and could read it likely would be male due to the expectations of low gender diversity in a programming studio of the 90s. So NO, there's no bias towards female death.
While we don't learn a lot about Ribbit's backstory, we learn a lot about her in the final episode, that she had friends before Jax, that she was exmormon, that she swore a lot before the circus, While she's not super fleshed out, she is very much shown to have her own life outside of Jax. So NO her character and personality is not just Jax.
So as we can see, we get a 1/10 score on the fridging criteria, and even if I'm extra generous and bump up a few i could entertain an argument for (10, 1, 3) that's still only 4/10. She's missing a lot of key elements of fridging.
Female character being dead in a backstory isn't inherently fridging, you can call it out as a cliche, or boring, but fridging is a criticism with genuine meaning dating back to the 90s. You can think it was poor taste or bad execution or think it was a bad direction for the story, but that still does not equal fridging.
You are allowed to kill women in stories, the problem with fridging is when the deaths are treated or handled in a way that becomes very lopsided towards the idea of female characters as disposable in comparison to the male characters. A story where both male and female characters die in similar ways with the same amount of degree of permanency and seriousness in the narrative is by definition not a fridging because they're equally as disposable to the plot and treated the same ways.
Ribbit is not fridged, you can have plenty of complaints about her treatment and the narrative, but it is not fridging. Fridging requires a lack of respect or active contempt for female characters that The Amazing Digital Circus simply does not have. You can wish she got more attention or time, I do too honestly, but there's a difference between a bit underdeveloped and fridged, especially in a cast with so many other prominent female characters who get happy endings.
If I had to give her a trope she's much closer to a Lost Lenore, as a character who is somewhat a love interest who dies before the story starts and then haunts the narrative and has a severe impact on Jax's psyche. It's still not perfect but it's certainly closer then fridging.
Isn't fridging also only used olnly for characters that are alive in the story? Ribbit was already abstracted before the story even began.
We aren't going into Jax's flashback with anything less that complete knowledge about the incoming tragedy.

4 pokemkn characters and... purple haired Romance?
I showed this post to my boyfriend and he tried to take his shirt off like a girl and
uh
yeah
Out of the 82k notes my post got this is by far the best comment holy shit thank u for being u
So i tried it both ways and uh
i mean how do you do the first one without pulling out all your hair?
this made me laugh really hard….
and it made me realize that girls and boys pull their shirt off differently. /amazed
but seriously I think girls just do the cross arm thing because of HAIR like demonstrated
So one year, one URL change, and a hair cut later, I decide to try again… FOR SCIENCE!
Its not science unless you write it down so
First method:
Well done, i guess…
Second:
I fucked up
Girls… how?
I DON’T UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN HAVE SUCH DIFFERENT WAYS OF TAKING OFF SHIRTS AND SO MUCH DIFFICULTY DOING IT THE OTHER WAY
I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!
It’s all in the way that girl/boys shirts are made.
Girls shirts have less armpit room then boy’s do and are generally shorter so pulling it off over your head is more practical because by lifting your arms all the way up you make enough room for the sleeves to just slip off.
Boys shirts have more room and are generally longer so it is easy to slip them off over your head.
but if you take a girls shirt off like a boys shirt you will get your arms caught because there isn’t much armpit space.
and if you take a boys shirt off like a girls shit you will still have your head in it when you’ve lifted your arms all the way up because of the shirt’s length.
It has nothing to do with us. It is entirely to do with how our shirts are made. I figured it out for you. YOU’RE WELCOME!
bless you
look what is back on my dash. Jesus.

Do you know why I say time and time again on YT videos that if you don’t like a piece of media, you should just leave the room instead of engaging with it or making it everyone else’s problem?
It’s because of events like this.
Actions that seem to mean well at first, always go too far and start the process of removing stuff that you yourself may enjoy.
DDLC is a gut punching series that tells its story well and needs all of its story elements to tell it. If that is something someone can’t handle, then they should leave it be, not cheer or support its removal.
And before you say “oh it’s just the android version, who plays it there?”
1) *you* don’t play it on Android, but someone definitely did
2) who’s to say this isn’t testing the waters and see where else it can be removed?
Good and thought provoking art is made by weirdos.

i saw one post once about how cis people have this habit of bringing up a trans person's agab in conversation for without it even being relevant, and ever since i cannot stop seeing it everywhere. if y'all catch me doing that please feel free to call me out on it
sorry to put you on blast but i can't think of any possible response funnier than this
