Kyle the Ferweenie

It is taking that point and putting her into a reality in which she cannot possibly grow from her own actions, trapped without consequence or growth from her real life and contained within a fantasy. The narrative itself is displaying how with great repression, the fantasy of a digital world without the consequence of action leads to continuous and aggressive rot of the heart and soul. Jax is the part of lee that she left behind when she finally hit a wall and had to face the rest of her life and the reality her fears obscured.

Jax is a being full of fear without relief, never able to reconcile with what she did or grow further because her actions will never have a conclusion to her. Perpetually running away. She cant even decide to find out what happened to her mother, she literally is trapped in the fear and anxiety about potentially murdering her mom after a moment of honesty lead to pain. The idea that she would just be. Fine? After that is ridiculous to me. The tragedy of jax is that she couldnt possibly have continued on, the facet of herself that became jax is one that lee had to grow from when she lived her life and found no escape. Jax has constant escape and no potential to continue her life.

Its hard to accept that we can become bad people due to things happening to us and not being born with villainous intent, or even that our intentions can become bad through our struggles. I know its hard to see that because it feels safer and nicer to assume that the danger is the other and they are to be avoided and we will never replicate their actions because we are good people. But one day you or someone else you love and care about will make a mistake or fall into bad habits and we should be cognizant about how we arent infallible people. Our defense tactics can be harmful. The word abuser i feel has become a replacement for just calling someone a "narcissist" or a "psycho" or a "sch*zo". We find words that have easy meanings to define what a dangerous person is and to avoid them to preserve our safety. Someone can abuse someone else in many ways, and often the abused will *become* the abuser. The idea that this makes them some fuzzy idealised monster is how we project inhumanity into opposition and placate our feelings of distaste or fear. Anger is a reaction to an emotion you do not want to feel. Many fear the idea of becoming the danger or being hurt or feeling powerless, and sometimes we will choose to hurt others to feel like we have some control. Your anger and fear at jax is the same feelings that make her lash out at others. Im honestly sure she would rather be labeled an "abuser", it disconnects her from the humanity that she tries to avoid by hurting others. The thing that you want to ignore about her is exactly what she does too, she wants to be the villain or the comedic punchline because its an archetype that doesnt have direct consequence as long as she doesnt care. But she is a person. That is what scares her the most.

We pretend to advocate for the mentally ill, yet when they are unpalatable or bad people we lose all empathy and regard them the same as our "enemies." The same fear that made america portray "transvestites" and "queers" as evil demons that need to have a hole in their head to fix consumes us when we are confronted with something else we find morally objectionable in the people who face the brunt of the oppression we fight to stop. Theres a reason a big chunk of transfems come from 4chan, the people who suffer and are abused will attempt to take control back through any means they can find just to survive.

You do not have to forgive a bad person. Especially if they hurt you or someone you care about. While it is very hard to seperate yourself from those feelings, and you should never ignore them, to demonize victims of abuse is to ensure they will never recover. Regardless of if you think they deserve it, a human life is terrifyingly complex and we are all capable of being abusers the same as we are of being abused. The very least we can do is understand the actual circumstances that have happened and judge based on that, without painting the entire thing as objectively evil due to our actions at our worst.

I’ve already posted this to twitter and thought I’d post here aswell. I thought this would be a cute way for all of them to interact. It would make sense for them to revisit old adventure locations. In this instance the girls went out to grab a midnight snack.
