in retrospective jax is the worst character of them all, because of the way he is using the circus. as soon as he has this realization (the same one that he tells pomni in the gun episode) that its all just digital/fictional/not real and theres no reason to care, i think all this time he's been acting his true self.
i do believe that "the funny one" spiel is meant to symbolise the irony-poisoning and the "it's just a prank" or "im just joking" types of people that will do or say heinous shit and pretend like you're the one in the wrong for taking it too seriously. and its prevalent online because you can hide behind your amazing digital avatar and be, let's say, a bigot, that you cant be IRL because you'd be curbstomped, and have nobody be able to do anything about it. because its not technically real!
thats why he's been doing all of this. because he can't drive people to suicide by isolation IRL, that's illegal! and he can't sexually harrass/physically assault women IRL, that's also illegal (and these women could beat him up)! and notice how much he just does a clap back after a clap back, reminds you of something? doesnt it just make you want to upvote him, give him a reddit gold, perchance? (sarcasm)
thats why an important part of the gun episode was pomni running and laughing maniacally. That was Her idea of No Consequences. it wasnt about "lets see how many people i can hurt cause theyre stuck with me and cant do anything about the predicament", for her it was about "i can run around and laugh and not care what society thinks. these guns look real but we respawn so its kind of like VR laser tag and i can finally have some time to wind down after all this"
and she was still fine after that realisation! she didn't start being mean or sabotaging anything because her freedom was not in other's suffering
jax is just like that cause that is the choice he made. the choice to consider the other digital avatars as objects he can have fun with without the law stopping him. knowing fully that these digital avatars, like him, also came from somewhere and are real people
but bahhhh its fineee! get yourself a maid dress to get genderrr freaky for a nonbinary persons funeral rahhhhh xd and go shag their grieving girlfrienddd lol isnt this just randumm
