me when im in a mischaracterization competition and my opponent is a morally complex woman

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:

I will never stand for ragatha slander btw i will forever be her defender. All the reasons people hate on her for is so stupid esp when they excuse jax for doing the same thing but worse, it's literally just misogyny :/

1. "She was mean to gangle!!" Look I love gangle she's my fave character but she basically let ragatha just get deep-fried in fast food oil that episode, calling her annoying was the least she could've done. Plus she was on stupid sauce and it's implied she apologised multiple times

2. "She brought up jax's dead friend!" Bbg if jax tormented me everyday I would bring it up every chance I get. She didn't even do it out of malicious intent she jusy mentioned it anyways. If she was in jax's position jax would remind her of it all the damn time just to hurt her.

3. "She's too positive!!" It's implied she had to hide her feelings cuz of her abusive mum, god forbid a girl wants to make friends. Plus she was clearly a people pleaser from the beginning it's so obvious that she just want to be liked just like any other person. The people who say this are the same people who get mad at her for her very valid crashout on ep5?? Like pomni literally told her that it's okay to be a jerk sometimes n when she does act like a jerk she's told to calm down. And she wasn't even a jerk!! She was mad at jax who yaknow bullies everyone in the circus!!

Istg whenever I see ragatha hate I get so pissed off I'm starting to hate jax even more cuz of his annoying ass fans that'll excuse his every behaviour n then slander ragatha for not being perfect

i just got back into tadc and this is how yall decide to act about my goat.

this THIS

I enjoyed the new episode of Digital Circus, but if there is one thing that rub me wrong is how Jax was framed, for a moment making him pass for someone who cares about the group. Maybe it will be true at the end, we will see, however I still don't like how he treat Gangle. If he truly care for Gangle he did a very bad job, because at this point if Gangle didn't abstract is only because Zooble support and stand for her.

"Yeah nice shot Jax, why don't reverse the scene now? oh right you didn't like when others put you in a maid dress."

And then he call out for Ragatha because her gentle behaviour is "false". What Ragatha is doing it is not properly ok because she is extreme, sure, but she didn't torment other people and risk to abstract them.

I like Jax as a character, because I like characters with flaws, but I hope the serie will not think to make Jax the "guy who are in the right". He's not right, he's a bully! Just because he is not bullying the protagonist but a character in the background does not change his position as a bully.

A last word also for Pomni, I hope she doesn't become the second Lily who got together with Potter senior after he bullied Piton on a daily basis. You become an accomplice of the bully.

After this episode I don’t think you can really blame Ragatha for being a people pleaser when twice she tries to be better than that and everyone just judges her for it like. At that point the problem really is everyone else. Jax derides Ragatha for not being honest about her frustration but when she is he still derides her anyhow. And if she isn’t being treated any differently why should Ragatha care about what others are saying???

Likewise it’s annoying seeing people infantilize Jax’s shitty behavior because OH he’s trapped in the circus and someone he knew got abstracted like. Bitch he’s not special so did everyone else. Zooble is also off-putting and negative but she makes a point to mind her own business and is nice even when the other person hadn’t initiated it towards her first.

Jax is going out of his way to be a gleefully malicious asshole, incessantly. And then has the gall to be offended at Ragatha for accidentally bringing up his issues, and is only nice when someone is nice to him. But in the end his lack of friends is 100% his fault. People have a right to be upset with him! Why is the onus on everyone to be patient with Jax, and not Jax to have basic restraint for once??? He talks such hot shit but can’t even take a single hit.

And like I love Pomni but the third episode already made a point that she DID make Ragatha feel excluded, it was a thing she apologized for, and Kinger’s framing puts Pomni’s neglect as the worst thing anyone could do; Not Ragatha being a bit overbearing.

So with that in mind it’s not out of the question to say that Pomni is doing the same for Ragatha. I’m not saying she’s maliciously, intentionally choosing Jax over Ragatha. But if Ragatha is considered by the fandom to still be responsible for how she makes others feel regardless of intent, doesn’t the same apply to Pomni?

Again she’s frustrated with Ragatha for infantilizing her but in the end she (or at least the narrative) kinda infantilizes Jax with her willingness to be more sympathetic and friendly because he’s actually just sad and lonely inside and doesn’t know better. Rather than being a grown-ass man people have made explicit to him that they’ve been upset by.

She’s put off by Ragatha coming across as being dishonest due to her fear of upsetting people, but instead of being up front to Ragatha about wanting to get through to Jax and needing someone to give her time to do so, Pomni lies about doing this for Ragatha, to give Ragatha a chance to redeem herself; Presumably because she’s afraid of upsetting Ragatha. Meaning she knows how this comes across and still does it.

I’ve seen some argue that it’s the other way around but I dunno. In the end Pomni doesn’t spare a passing glance to Ragatha afterwards or even remember to invite her. And it’s a flaw we’ve seen before so it’s not out of the question that it’s her same flaw at the root of this scene, and not just Ragatha’s insecurity making her perceive it that way.

Pomni admits that she wasn’t there for Ragatha but in the end she’s not really trying to stand up for Ragatha when Jax continues to both be an asshole and act as if Ragatha is the one who crossed a line. Maybe her goal is to talk Jax into being nice enough to apologize to Ragatha himself but given she lied to Ragatha about her intentions it feels almost a little knowingly insincere.

Sorry not sorry but fandom has always been way too forgiving towards male characters for being utterly terrible, while giving female characters so much flak for being even a bit flawed. The fact that people can even feel sorry for Jax’s “trauma” as if he isn’t constantly verbally abusing everyone around him is ridiculous. While they act as if Ragatha’s loneliness is a proportional consequence to being a bit needy; Like her efforts to be kind are just so inherently purely evil and hurtful. Jax and Ragatha are both traumatized but in Ragatha’s case she’s at least trying to avoid being an asshole about it and I just don’t buy the excuse that Jax has a “different coping method” like that’s what every shitty abusive man has said.

It’s absurd that everyone is talking hot shit about how Jax needs kindness when he’s the one who should be told that others need kindness. It’s absurd how people saw Kinger describe what Pomni did to Ragatha as Pomni explicitly makes it clear to us that Ragatha is the one being left out. And yet people will say Jax is the poor baby feeling left out as if his constant harassment isn’t what’s making people feel isolated. Gooseworx has even said that Jax deserves to be in the circus the most out of anyone. Like technically it shouldn’t happen to anyone but I’m gonna be real here sometimes there are basic consequences to one’s intentional actions. There comes a point where people do not fucking owe you shit!!!

[speedc0il]

Head canon: Gangle's singing voice is a little lower than you'd expect

[speedc0il]

If u can't sing low without straining ur voice then u probably can!

Head canon: Gangle's singing voice is a little lower than you'd expect

[speedc0il]

Mezzo/alto/any deep voice type gangle canon Idc what anyone says

[speedc0il]

This is so real!

Head canon: Gangle's singing voice is a little lower than you'd expect

[speedc0il]

I genuinely need gangle songs to be more low note central she sounds so ass when she sings high. Her VA just can't sing soprano when she's doing gangle's voice and I hate it. This only stands if her VA is singing it tho.

[speedc0il]

fanon gangle is always either "uwu baby that can do no wrong" or "evil bitch that controls people"
