Spoilers for episode nine of tadc below!!
I genuinely don't understand why people hate the finale, like yes, I understand you don't like the character the episode is centered on, I get it. However, saying it's generally bad is just wrong. It was done beautifully, while it may have been confusing at some points, it was an absolutely gorgeous episode.
Also, people just blatantly ignoring Jax being (heavily)implied to be trans is just insanely disrespectful in my opinion. Yes, shes a fictional character, but just ignoring it is still disrespectful.
"Well Jax was an abuser and he's being portrayed as the victim now!"
Yes, he was an abuser, but she wasn't exactly portrayed as the victim as most people say. She was portrayed as the victim of abuse in her past, she's a very well thought out character with a well thought out backstory. Many people who were victims of abuse in their past end up becoming abusers themselves, thats what makes her a good character. She has flaws, a lot of them, no character is without flaws. If she was flawless, she would just be a blank sheet of paper for people to crumple up. People need to realize that a traumatic experience will leave a person feeling awful, and most likely, they'll be a lot more protective of themself. Jax dealt with a traumatic experience, and became a lot more protective of herself, she pushed people away for fear of being harmed.
"He made his friend abstract!"
Yes, she did. However, she never intended to. If you were to spill all of your trauma onto a friend, and share something very personal, you wouldn't want them to tell anyone. She was scared Ribbit would tell someone, so she avoided them. When you start avoiding someone you don't know how to reconnect with them.
The episode was very Jax centered, and I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. Jax is a lovely, lovely girl, and people need to recognize that just because they hate the character, does not mean you have to hate the episode.
