Listen I’ve always heard of/seen female characters being held to higher standards than male characters but MAN it is obvious in the amazing digital circus fandom especially with the fandom’s reaction to Ragatha’s behaviour in episode 5 versus Jax’s behaviour in THE WHOLE SERIES

I really, REALLY like the fact that there are no canonical romantic relationships in tadc, and seeing an actual representation of platonic attraction/relationships makes me incredibly happy.

Really bothering me that people are calling Ragatha toxic, fake or abusive when in reality she is just a traumatized people pleaser who has her fair share of flaws, but in the end is not a bad person. She's trying, and she clearly does care about the others, even if there is also an element of fear she has that they won't like her if she doesn't act nice enough.

Ragatha isn't even in my top three favourites of the cast. But it bothers me how shallow and unnuanced some people are being about her character. I love Jax and his character is so rich and interesting to me, but I can still blatantly acknowledge he's done some pretty nasty things, and gets defended too heavily because of a few softer moments. Yet Ragatha has a few moments where she acts out (PAIRED with context that she's experienced emotional abuse her whole life) and all of a sudden she's the fandom's punching bag? It's so weird to me. Double standards. Kind of reminds me of the Gangle hate we got post episode four, but worse.

Attaching an image from Gooseworx's Bluesky to kind of sum up the second half of this post:

Everytime I see a take saying that they have no sympathy for Ragatha because shes toxic and was horrible to Jax this episode I want to bash my head into a wall /silly

I think a lot of people are misunderstanding what she meant by "Not anymore...". She didn't mean "Oh lmao his friend died" she meant "After he became an asshole everyone stopped wanting to be friends with him" yet Jax misunderstood it as the former. You can tell thats not what she meant because she says as much when she notices him death glaring her. And no, its not an excuse because she "thought he wouldn't hear her". She knew he could probably hear her and expected a different reaction because she meant something different.

I'm so tired of people calling her horrible for making a couple mistakes towards someone whos been blatantly an asshole. I love Jax. I love him a lot, but he doesn't deserve all the sympathy here. Ragatha isn't some secretly evil and toxic person. Shes a person who's fawning as a response to trauma and is making mistakes.

Jax was on a farm, and so was Ragatha. Also what the heck happened there with Jax and corn? Did he get stuck in a corn maize or something and thought he was gonna die there?

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

Why is it that I am always the person people ask to accompany them to the ER and yet nobody has ever agreed to accompany me on any of my ER trips. What kind of grievous injury does a guy have to acquire to get a little company here.

Happy Pride everybody!

With it being the crime month, I decided on coming out as nonbinary. This decision had a lot of doubts and questions, but I’m happy with the conclusion as it feels just right.

Anyways, congrats and good luck to you all!
