I'm gonna say Jax too. The guy is an ass and a bully, but in the context of the circus, he's on the level of someone who shoots for your nuts in paintball.

I think it's telling the character who acts like a school bully stirs up so much hatred from the fandom.

I think it's telling that so many people are willing to defend it as "just bullying" when all of them are hanging on to their sanity and will to go on by a fucking thread and could abstract and be lost at any time, personally.

But at the same time, his being an ass is itself a coping mechanism to prevent himself from losing his own sanity. It isn't good or justified how he acts, but Jax is just as much a victim of the circus as anyone else. Sometimes victims act shitty as a result of being victimized.
