For me personally, it would be significantly easier to be a a blissfully whimsical TADC fan if Jax haters or people who simply don’t like them didn’t constantly throw their two cents into spaces that hold more positive opinions towards the character. Like, you know you won’t agree, so why are you constantly coming into our posts and comments saying the same things that we already know as fact or have already heard be said?
“Jax is a bad person” “Jax is an abuser”
“Jax had too much screen time”
“I’m happy Jax abstracted”
“Jax is a misogynist”
“Jax sexually harassed Gangle”
“Gooseworx hates women and Jax reflects that”
“Jax is a murderer”
“Jax doesn’t deserve forgiveness”
“Jax fans are all misogynists”
“Jax’s backstory wasn’t even that bad”
“Jax being trans is just to excuse her actions”
It’s so obnoxious guys, seriously. You come in and ruin the whole vibe, it makes things less fun for some of the other fans. You have the right to your opinion, but so does everyone else. I make a habit of staying AWAY from content that clearly doesn’t view my favorite TADC character in a positive light, you don’t see me ignoring the very obvious difference of attitude and engaging anyway. Why don’t you do the same so you aren’t constantly arguing with someone? And please for the love of decency stop telling people that by liking Jax they ignore/downplay abuse. People aren’t suddenly abuse apologists for defending their viewpoint on a fictional character.
Weirdly enough I have never once come across an abuse apologist in my time in the TADC fandom, despite people often being accused of doing just that. I feel like to find an abuse apologist you have to actively be looking for stuff like that. Most times, someone who calls themselves “character” apologist, can recognize that said character did bad things, but for the sake of fun and their deep attachment to the character, they ‘overlook’ it because they love and sympathize with them. (See: Me with fucking Starscream. War criminal? Yes. Crimes? What crimes?) It’s not a serious issue at all a vast majority of the time. Why can’t everyone just be NICE to each other??
