One thing about the post-finale wave of new Jax haters that frustrates yet amuses me is that a lot of them are actually former Jax simps.
Like, 6/10 new haters I've encounter in the past two-ish months used to adore Jax.
You can search the Jax tag on their blog and they were making thirst posts about her.
They were selfshipping with her.
They were trying to justify every misdeed and woobify her.
They were demonizing Ragatha and Gangle for standing up to her.
They were taking their Jax plushies on dates to restaurants, and movies, and fairs, and etc.
They were exploring their fetishes and kinks using her character.
They unironically wanted the "I can fix him shirt."
They were unironically using Pomni and Ragatha to self-insert into the show to be with her.
They were making OCs who's sole purpose for existing was to date her.
They were writing fics about marrying her.
But the revelation that she was in fact a woman the whole time broke their brains.
Now they're back tracking hard and trying to hide the transphobia behind performative "lib speak" (for lack of a better term) so they don't lose their ally points.
They want to be seen as an ally because it makes them feel good, but they're not willing to put in any of the actual work, including the self-work of addressing why being attracted to a trans woman makes them so uncomfortable.
They just want credit while being given a pass to be transphobic. Which they're not getting, and a lot of them are having temper tantrums about it.
On days where it doesn't outright piss me off, it's really entertaining to watch them flounder in a hell of their own making.
