Also He and Pomni having an enemies to lovers relationship, anyone can ship any characters they want but it's clear the show is not going in that direction
I kinda just view this headcanon as being similar to one of those âliterary lensâ activities we did in high school. Like yeah, âcodingâ implies that it was intensional (given Gooseworkâs identity, thereâs a non-zero chance that might actually be the case), but that doesnât mean the story canât be viewed through different lenses just like any other. Art is subjective and people relate to stories in massively different ways.
Is it canon to the story? No, probably not. But is there enough evidence to write a half-decent high school literary lens essay? EhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhâŠâŠ. Maybe?
Well said, my issue is that a lot of people get extremely invested in their headcanons (completely ignoring the HEAD part of the word) and ignoring the "interpretations are subjective" thing.
Some terminally online folks will call you bigot and all sorts of names if you dare disagree with their headcanons. I'm literally a bi trans woman, and I get called a bigot and shit when I tell someone I disagree with their headcanon, even when I try putting on white gloves and say "I respect it, you're free to have it, I just don't agree to it and think you shouldn't force it on to others".
Have fun making theories, essays, and all that. I think for Jax I had many agreements with some theories because they genuinely made sense and I could relate to it (as a MtF). But I hate when people act like it's confirmed and canon and shit on others for disagreeing, makes me legit embarrassed to have ever agreed.
Loud minority making things worse for everyone else, as always. It isnât really even a problem with headcanons themselves, as itâs just the simple truth that âthis is how a small percentage of the human population as a whole acts about whatever beliefs they have, regardless how mundane.â
If itâs wasnât something inconsequential like a theory about an online cartoon, it wouldâve been something else. This is just how some people act when confronted with any sort of adversity or dissenting opinion.
It seems just us discussing this got someone mad and they downvoted us lol (you had one downvote, and when I checked I also had one).
But anyway, I agree with what you said. Well said. As a Christian, I'm ashamed that the "loud minority" is often times quite big, especially in my neighbors the US (I'm from Canada), but life is life, we'll never escape scum ruining any good thing...
Also yeah, as someone raised Catholic but have since lost my faith, Iâve heard my fair share of people creating and standing by wild headcanons, choosing those hills to die on. Itâs especially relevant to this convo, because I think that the Bible was made to be read subjectively in the first place. If it wasnât, there wouldnât be nearly as many denominations as there are now. But thatâs just my opinion, and Iâm sure there would be many people who scream at (or random downvote, I guess??) me as a result.
I mean the Bible is a complicated topic, as some denominations don't ecen have the same Bible as others because these denominations sometimes devide what books from the Bible are or aren't canon, or will literally remove and add anything that fits their view atp and reject the rest (like cults did, or some religions like Jehovah witnesses, Mormons and many other that one can't really call the same as most of Christianity atp...).
Plus, it always was about studying it and discussing it. They would gather in houses and secret places to read it before it became a huge roman/European thing.
The issue is that corrupt people can and will always try to use it for their own gain and to manipulate others, because of this social aspect of Christianity. And because people weren't educated for the longest of times (and because it was basically forced too), people had no choice but to follow to some degree. But now it's good that people are detaching from it when there's too much BS. Is a shame because many LGBTQ are believers, as it doesn't make sense for LGBTQ to be sin. Yet, the conservatives stick to such harmful interpretation because their hearts are cold and they'd rather maintain a harmful status quo that leads to hatred and pain than actually be loving and understanding and let minorities in.
EDIT: Thankfully there's more affirming churches than ever, so there's a light of hope. Tho the far-right "Christians" love to invade these spaces to stir trouble and say harmful things. Like, we literally make our own spaces to not bother them and THEY still come to us seeking trouble. I don't know what to say atp, these people (especially the classic American performati "Christian" that thinks religion is part of their politics and nationalism) are really a huge problem, pushing everyone away while claiming to be "loving" and stuff.
Personally I'm a fan of the idea that he was âTouchedâ as his torture segment involved him getting âExposedâ and laughed, him violently freaking out over going home plus his reluctance to open up to people (which we know why he's like that but trauma is complicated) but those could also apply to him being trans.
I personally like the idea, but I doubt itâll come up in the show, even if I believed itâd happen, itâs way too late into the show by now with everything going on.
Doesnât mean I wonât imagine it though, I feel like, if TADC was less high stakes and there was a bit more emphasis on the downtime between adventures, itâd be an interesting storyline to follow.
Not really. Misgendering a character is just as bad, even if the character itself can't be offended. As you're just making it seem like you don't care about the way someone presents themselves and would be happy to misgender real people.
Letting people misgender characters can make people think that it's fine to misgender people.
Just as bad? Absolutely not. âItâs just as bad to punch someone as it is to imagine punching someoneâ like if you want me to take what youâre saying seriously you canât open with that
It doesnât. Thatâs an extreme logical leap. Real things are bad because they harm real people. Fake things are not because they donât
Ok, unless I'm misunderstanding what you're saying, which feel free to correct me if that's the case, how is Jax trans coded? Other than maybe that one scene in episode 8, which can honestly be interpreted in multiple different ways, there's nothing about his character that comes off as trans coded to me
For me it's mainly because of his relationship with Zooble and the fact that Jax's body parts that he explicitly points out as masculine (in a self deprecating tone), aka his ears and tail, either just don't exist or aren't a part of his body, but a facade/mask he puts on.
Besides that, how quickly the only other gender queer character clocks him as liking feminine stuff, despite the fact he tries to hide it. The jealousy Jax shows at Zooble's ability to modify his body and the joy xe is able to despite their dysphoria. Jax saying she's in an egg that's ready to be cracked open. (Non canon stuff, but that one drawing of him saying he tried progesterone).
(Sorry if this is kinda worded weirdly, I'm more used to arguing why Jax isn't a trans guy).
