The show is absolutely jam-packed with double meaning, metaphors, subtext, and scenes representing something deeper and its an absolute treasure-trove to go through and piece together the deeper meaning.

I also adore how the show doesn't immediately jump to confirming it like "Oh! This happened and this happened, which means this!" like other shows do. It actually leaves you to sit and think about it, the subtle nods themselves are the only true confirmations.

Even past Jax being trans, which a good chunk of the community still somehow is like "What?? No!" Even if you look past Goose confirming it herself, and GLITCH.

It almost feels like its telling to the current landscape of media and depth in its viewers. There's loads of people who got it, but there's also loads of people who are only looking at the surface.

Which is fine! Its an absolutely amazing show even if you only focus on the main plot or whats on screen or readily apparent. I've always adored the concept of "Stuck in the digital world" and this show has a really unique premise behind it.

But I mean... come on, subtext has existed in media for fucking centuries, millennia now if you look at poems and literature, and with everything feeling spoonfed nowadays with no real hunting for meaning, to finally have a show with some subtext and layers, only to be shit on by the people who were crying for that same depth in media?

...All this aside, I know "Enjoy the show" regardless and I do, and I enjoy the fandom, creations, apparent fanons, and community all the same, but it can be frustrating at times when it feels like I can't conversate with people in the community because they apparently watched an entirely different show.

I also know this post has been made like, 1000 times over now.
