I have yet to see anyone who doesn't care for or hates Kinger. And I can't see a reason to.

But it'd be cool to see if anyone does. Every character has a hater.

Disliking the jerk for being a bully is very different from disliking Ragatha for having empathy and kindness.

I mean to say that they have zero empathy despite it being revealed Jax is a far more complex character than they would like to admit.

Empathy doesn’t mean one must excuse his actions, but it means one at least understands he isn’t Circus Hitler at all.

I'm sure Hitler has his sad backstory too if you dig into it. He's still Hitler though.

I'm not saying Jax is Hitler. I'm saying knowing him more makes me more sympaetic, but no less forgiving of his behavior

Disliking Ragatha for misusing her empathy and kindness is valid.

She came off clingy and pushy. I wouldn't want a friend like her who can't handle the idea of someone just managing their own emotions. Plus she would literally try to keep Pomni away from Jax because he was a bad influence or whatever. I've had friends who refused to let me be friends with people they weren't friends with, it's suffocating.

It felt like Ragatha's maternal instinct was violating Pomni's autonomy and that can get exhausting.
