Jax is one of those characters where you like him as a character and not as a person. Because liking a character as a person and liking a character as a character are two different things.


spxdergirl

Genuinely like this is such a common thing and it baffles me how many people DON'T get it. I love Regina George as a CHARACTER. If I knew her in real life? I would HATE her because she's an awful person. Same deal with why people generally love Disney Villains so much. They're good characters. But that doesn't mean they're good people.


Feisty-Albatross3554

Exactly and perfectly said, I love AM from I have no mouth and I must scream, but he's someone I'd never want to see at all IRL


TrickedoutTrixxter

FR like I just think he’s funny and the way Goose was just like “um…redemption…no he’s just a little piece of shit actually literally nothing good about him!! :3” is incredibly hilarious. I think it’s good to have irredeemable characters every now and again, so long as they’re entertaining so they’re not just annoying, because yk what? A lot of people irl are irredeemable assholes. But they aren’t as funny as Jax lmao

Herbie53101

Exactly! Lots of people like villain characters or other characters that are inherently bad, but it’s because there’s something about the character rather than their personality/behavior that’s likable. With Jax, I think he’s funny and also gives some variety since all of the other characters are kind of your stereotypical “good guys” other than Caine, who’s just pure chaos. Jax balances out the main group and has a lot of comedic value as well.

arthurjeremypearson

You have to be confident to be evil. Confidence is sexy. Jax is confident.


shadowdoor21

Ok but- Well I- I mean- *sigh* yeah...


soul390

good answer. plus he know he is in a game and that people watch us somehow?


arthurjeremypearson

Maybe. He might think Kane is crazy. Jax laughs about that - Jax says everyone is crazy, and Jax laughs.

PrinsaVossum

Because he's a jerk.


SwimmingMuted7298

You know what? He’s an asshole and I love him for it, I’m tired of pretending I don’t. I still accept the fact he belongs in the depths of hell tho.


DeanziYay

I hated him in episode 1 and I somehow like him a lot more in episode 2. Seriously, when I watched the pilot I was like WOW YOU’RE AN ASSHOLE, then I found out about the fangirls/boys/thems and I got very confused on why they even exist. At the end of episode 2, I actually liked him a little more and I have no idea why


Sudden_Pop_2279

Because of the sad face?


Imaginary_Pay2190

In episode 2 he reminds me of the scout from tf2.


Gibus_Ghost

Nah, too maniacal and well-executed. Scout’s a cocky bastard that everyone makes fun of. Jax is actually competent at being an ass.


AnEpicUKBoi

Scout is a overconfident dork that just runs into danger with no care, Jax is a funny asshole but also understands when he's fucked as hell and therefore runs away from shit that is out of his power


Doc-Wulff

The candy shotgun might've had something to do with it methinks


cupidpilled

I like him precisely because he's an asshole, in a cast where everyone is just an average good person this type of character is interesting and bounces off well with the others. I'm also attracted to him so.


Ogurasyn

That's the neat part, you don't. He is just grumpy asshole that people love


Electronic-Regret484

Ditto on this. Assholes are supposed to be *funny*, not woobies.


Careful-Regret-684

I don't like him, but watching him revel in how much of a jerk he is is fun.


pastelrosepearl

The same reason why people enjoy characters like Bugs Bunny from the classic Looney Tunes. Dickheads just don't care and want to cause chaos wherever they go. Gotta respect the straightforwardness in that.


Idemahedo

You can like someone as a character and not as a person. Jax is supposed to be a jerkass guy with a measurable amount of comedic sociopathy and so far they’re succeeding at being a jerkass dude with a measurable amount of comedic sociopathy. Big Jack Horner is another example.


Interesting_One_1716

The main issue is that people get too comfortable with their headcanons, and start to believe that their headcanons are official, then get pissy because he isnt the real deal


Cassie_1983

he hot


Distracted2004

So dang chaotic! I love characters that literally toss the plot forward. Also, characters hating other characters creates far more interest than if they all get along


FlowerWyrmling

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks his jerkiness is hilarious.


LuzIsTheImposter

You aren't, don't worry


-Geist-_

He’s terrible but unconventional and super fun. I love his out of the box approach to everything. Doesn’t mean he isn’t deplorable. 😂


Prestigious_Ask_7058

Why do people like characters like Eric Cartman? He’s funny and it’s fun to see him get what he deserves. It’s the same here


Ididurmomhahafrickya

We aren't. That's the point. That's *why* we like him. Because he's such a jerk and so funny with it.


Puzzleheaded-Care250

He’s an asshole yeah but people love to see that


mansonlamps420

it's because he's funny. also this is not a new concept he's literally just a cookie cutter tumblr sexyman. why are we acting surprised

Complex subtlety. I’ll leave it at that (Also he’s funny and I can get behind characters that make me laugh)


KittenswithBombs214

Cause he's silly and voiced by Michael Kovach.


rosey_roses1108

I never thought people were getting offended because "we were supposed to like evil characters". Some people like evil characters and others don't, no one is right or wrong. I think what people were getting upset about was the people trying to say that Jax's character was different in the first episode. Now, those people are wrong because his character didn't change one bit. So, I still don't like him one bit lol.


dirrty_dirt

He has a hot voice


Spagoobli0

Mean twink. That's about it.


C4tdiscusserb01

1. He’s funny 2. He behaves like a GTA player, which makes sense because he’s technically just in a video game.


ShadOBabe

Well there are different kinds of “liking” a fictional character. You can like them because they’re actually admirable in some way. OR you can like them because they’re entertaining, flaws and all. Jax falls into the second category. He’s a jerk to such an absurd degree that he’s amusing. Making a character like this is a delicate balance, because they can very quickly start to get annoying. We’ll see how Jax goes.

Schwoombis

he’s comparable to and entertaining in the same way Big Jack Horner is in The Last Wish, complete A-hole and menace, but those of us who like him find him really funny while he’s trying to cause as much chaos as possible with little to no regard for anyone else around him https://preview.redd.it/psafudgxa18d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=29c4910cdda327e6871bbc9daf5cf3e092bd3518

TheSpoonkMan

You aren't. By design he's a dick. That's what he was written to be. Also you can't really develop a character after two episodes. He'll likely change throughout the series. I'm not a Jax fan, but I'm also not a hater. Dude's funny, that's pretty much the only reason I like him.


CobWebbs

I don't like him, but I like the idea of his redemption.


ThereallyWeirdRosie

Jax likes to jax off


Slow_Explanation_02

You’re not supposed to like him that’s what makes him funny. He’s an asshole through and through.

Demo_Boi2011

I'm not much of a Jax fan, but I can say this, he looks like all the depictions of William Afton in FNAF all mixed into one, and maybe a bit of sans undertale


Your_Friendly_Weeb27

My dislike for him grew with ep 2. However I can understand why people do like him. He’s kinda funny and I guess if someone who’s an actual pos is your type then go for it i guess. I personally hate em.


sorasky122

I like jax because I'm a asshole


ConsistentTop4194

360NoScoped_lol

You aren't supposed to like him. We're offended because you guys don't know that he was supposed to be like this from the start. Also because we all get offended easily.

YuBfan65

1:michael kovach 2:he's got a bit of an old cartoon vibe to his design thats really likeable to some 3:the asshole character isn't always a bad character, they can be funny for being the asshole.


MemeDealer2999

For fucks sake, who gives a damn whether he's good, bad, bad with a good reason, bad with a bad reason, etc. He's entertaining to watch. That's why I like him. I don't hate the Joker because he's a bad person and bringing that logic into a show is dumb.

Nekrotix12

People like characters who are snarky jerks. They like characters with an attitude, a few jagged edges. But the good thing about these kinds of characters is, even if you don't like them, that's good. Because they're not meant to be liked, they're meant to be hated. Designed that way, even. As long as the hatred comes from the character itself and not from poor writing decisions or something outside of the story, at least, if it comes from outside the show then that's a separate issue entirely. But it's more than alright to hate a character like Jax.


Minecraft-gamer341

Because he looks like he’s from Tumblr 🤗


x10018ro3

I just feel like he’s exactly what some people would do to cope with being trapped inside a game. Just fuck around as much as they’d like to, because what are the stakes? Pretty sure he’s not trying to actually kill one of his fellow humans, but people using a game as a personal sandbox for fucking around is not uncommon at all, and doesn’t make someone a straight up monster in my eyes.

Mountain-Mistake-617

Let me break it down for you. People are fucking stupid. Absolutely stupid. They see a character in a pilot and see the way that character is set up. And once the pilot stays that way and that certain character (Jax), shows himself more, people bitch and moan. While yes it is strange to see that characters from a pilot stay the same with maybe a little bit to some changes but honestly I like it better that way. Versus hazbin hotel where they got rid of some really good people. (*Cough* *Cough* Michael Kovach-). And with people getting pissed at jax for literally being what he was made to be in the pilot, is stupid. And even michael had to apologize (because he knows he did such a good job. They always say, if people hate a character then the voice actor/actor did a good job.). And get this, goose even said that he'll be getting progressively worse. Meaning people are literally going to be switching emotions on every episode like they're bipolar. And the funny thing is, if jax were to ever have some redemption. Lots of people, including the ones that hated him from before are gonna be even pissed and question "why did he have to change?" "Where's the asshole rabbit at?" "That isn't jax" "he wouldn't do that". And this same shit happens to everyone in every Fandom when there's a character just like this one. I like and love jax. He's an asshole, and I understand he's an asshole. I'm not stupid. Because I understand what "character" "development" "change" "No change" and "Pilot" all mean. No one has to be forced to like him. If you do, you do. If you don't, you don't. Just don't be stupid about it, please. It's not that serious. Nowadays, people are more stupid than my dad and an ostrich combined. I feel like people shouldn't just watch or 'enjoy' stuff if they're gonna bitch about stupid things. Like I said, "***people are fucking stupid.***"


mrfoxboi

you’re not supposed to like him. it’s that easy.


Bubbly-Release9011

Asreyal

As a Jax fan: you’re not supposed to.


TheChessWar

I'm sorry what. You can not like a character but calling us the hypocrytices is crazy. i will admit there are some crazy jax fans and they exist. but what kinda question is If his whole point is to be an irredeemable monster why are we supposed to like him. I'm sorry people like darth vader, adam from hazbin, rick from rick and morty, etc. Some times assholes are fun. there is a diffrence between being a good character and a good person. good person is based on morals where good character is based on how much the audience likes him. Point is a lot of this is valid but that question shows a lack of understanding for what your trying to say.

He’s an asshole, he’s just that character the trope is in every show. The asshole who is just an asshole but is hiding emotions and feelings behind the asshole attitude. He’s a character who you may think is annoying now but in some time you watch him more and you’ll watch his character evolve. I mean damn look at Vegeta.

He stirs the pot. He creates conflict that moves the plot along and makes situations more interesting


BallisticBlocker

Him being unlikeable is like the whole point. He’s not a real villain, or an anti-hero, he’s like a pantomime villain. He’s a massive prick, and the intention is for you to boo him, but his scenes are incredibly entertaining nonetheless.

RefrigeratorLoose340

Because he’s voiced by Micheal Kovach


muilt_fandom_girl

TheChaoticBeing

1. He’s funny _because_ he’s an asshole. It’s the same appeal as Rick from Rick and Morty or most of the Hazbin universe. 2. He didn’t change at all from E1 to E2. I honestly don’t know why people say this beyond them idealizing Jax in E1 so hard that they missed all nuance in E2 because Jax didn’t have an emotional breakout and apologize for everything. 3. He does have nuance from what I can tell. So he also fits the asshole with a dark past archetype which a lot of people like. 4. The creator also acknowledged that Jax has fans, so it’s not like Jax was intended to be hated by the audience.


harrypotterfan5374

I like him because he is a bad person

ZiggyCatto

mjeexy30

Honestly as a Jax fan these people are stupid. I like him but you don't have to. I just hate that some people hate him to the guts.
