It's a fucking phone game.
 
From the Amazing Digital Circus Jax character page:

The "Jax is trans" theory has been floating around for a while now. However, in the scene in question, there's literally nothing that suggests Jax is a closeted trans person. Ribbit putting the bow on his head comes off more as a friendship gesture than anything else, and when we see the real Jax at the end, he's still a guy. It's funny that even though the theory is all but deconfirmed, they've decided to huff copium about it.

Boy, I've got some opinions about this entry which I'll put in a spoiler folder because it might get a bit spergy:

Ribbit places a bow on his head during that scene, which many have interpreted as a confirmation of the theory that he's trans. Which, to be fair, there's a few reasons why that theory exists. The creator (who is trans) has said that Jax is the character he identifies with most.

However, there's literally no point where Jax says anything about "internalized misogyny" or "heteronormativity," nor is there anything about how he "identifies more with women than with men."

What actually occurs in this scene is that Jax explains that his dad walked out on the family while he was in high school, and that his mom was abusive towards him. He was just like his dad when he fought back, and not as manly as him when he didn't. Which doesn't inherently have anything to do with "internalized misogyny" or "heteronormativity," it's just his mom being an insane bitch and projecting her unresolved issues with her ex onto her child. Which is a common occurrence in abusive single-mother households and has no bearing on gender identity or any of that shit. Jax told his mom "something deep and personal" to get her off his back, but she just laughs at him and hurls more verbal abuse at him before hugging him. Could the "deep and personal" thing have been that he's trans? Yeah. But nothing in the dialogue really points to it being that, and people only seem to be jumping to that conclusion because, again, the creator is trans.

We see Jax IRL at the end, and learn that he's still a guy. They try to handwave this away as "oh, he's still deeply closeted," but the whole point of seeing the characters' IRL counterparts is to show that they're all doing well and are each at a good place in their lives. So if Jax were really trans, it wouldn't make sense for him to still be male.
 
I was going through the MCU pages and I found some gems.

That's right kids, Marvel movies used to be actual films that looked good and had decent writing. Isn't that weird? Not at all like the mass produced slop you see now.

Remember Jessica Jones? It was a Netflix show that came out when the franchise was still young and wasn't fully babified. This page was written in 2015/16, and boy you sure can tell

Man "rape culture", when's the last time you heard that?

The hidden mod note reminds me of how the Mad Max Fury Road page basically forbids you from criticizing the Vuvalini because feminism, even though the movie all but says they're just man hating bandits.

You can tell the 2011 Wonder Woman's page's age: if it came out a decade later it'd be full of sperging about how whoever hates it is A WORTHLESS FAILED HUMAN

"What do you mean the villain is just rotten to the core by nature, and doesn't have some shallow excuse that could be fixed with therapy or welfare? AUUUUGH I'M GOING INSANE"
I was once watching a movie review of Nosferatu, the new one, and one of the critics (who definitely considers himself to be a serious person) was confused and angry that the film did not try and humanize Orlok or give him some kind of sympathetic backstory. We've entered a point in western society where peeps get mad when villains are evil because they think there needs to be a reason for it.
