yes i am doing the in depth analysis on the newcomers psychology from ii and no one can stop me
oh ye ii s4 ep5 spoilers ig

it's crazy how jack compares eliminating another contestant to the attempted murder of one saying that tapey should receive the same jurisdiction as him
as well as the fact that tapey seems to agree with him as she is indeed scared for her life
even if she somehow got lightbulb out intentionally and made a sneaky play, the other contestants would at most look at her with distrust, not lock her up
because to the others eliminating someone ≠ an actual threat
but to jack and tapey, who never got a real chance at the game, death and getting eliminated are the same thing, because the game is their life
which is honestly very parallel to a lot of the newcomers in the game (everyone in s1 and the newbies from s2) except they either had a chance to live outside the game (like in hotel OJ), been in multiple seasons and therefore saw through the game past the high and what destruction it was causing (like marsh) or have witnessed the canon event of the ii movie
except in this case jack and tapey witnessed none of that

though this does make me wonder why jack and tapey act this way and not the other newcomers who haven't had a chance to compete in a season (besides cammy, metag, etc. because they presumably had lives outside of the game)
like why doesn't box or teddy act like this? well it could be because they got to touch grass and jack and tapey didn't ever get to leave me phone's head
though wouldn't this make them more inclined not to JUMP OFF A HAUNTED MANSION TOO TOP AND RISK DYING *ahem* so that they won't return to that 'blue wasteland'?
i mean they must've seen everyone pop up in the events of the ii movie and then do the escape thing and then pop up irl again and put two and two together to figure out that the digital wasteland was the afterlife
so either 1. tapey and jack are stupid and have not come to this conclusion 2. they were somehow created after the events of the ii movie (which might be possible because mephone's oc's popped up long after he came up with the idea, but it was assumed that they all came at one general period so this wouldn't make much sense, plus the shimmer energy which allows mephone to make new characters was removed so this is unlikely) or 3. they are so messed up mentally that they would rather die than get eliminated and treat elimination not only equal to death, but WORSE than death
and ig technically teddy and spikey had a chance at the game so they don't feel as ROBBED as tapey or jack, and box and bonesaw have the whole delusional 'we were the original final two' going on so they feel like they won in some way ig
point is tapey and jack are messed up but the fault falls mostly on circumstance
