On one corner we have Jax who Michael Kovach has confirmed on an interview I’ll get even worse past episode 6 (time stamp for 1:25:20): https://youtu.be/13A8bO4tuEQ?si=r4Iz_cGkTlRbKPtF

And Goose did say that only the strongest of Jax fans will survive past 6 or something close to that. 

And then on the other corner we have Kinger, who’s said he hated himself for things he did in the past and with the possible clues we have of him potentially being a developer of the game considering he mentioned that he used do 7 years of computer science, it could be that the 2nd pic we see with him and Pomni is him revealing that to her. 

Personally, if episode 7 might actually confirm Dev Kinger, then I think that might be the “thing” that tears the fandom a bit like how Michael said in the aforementioned interview with Camilla. Sure Dev Kinger is a popular theory so that alone wouldn’t be the most shocking, but it could get even worse if it turns out that, for example, Kinger knows that there’s no way to actually exit the game and he made so that it was impossible, for whatever reason it may be. 

Most of the fandom, at least from my experience, prolly expect Jax to get worse, but not a lot of people would be ready for Kinger doing something so genuinely selfish and cruel, even if he might gravely regret it now. 

Of course, this is all massively assuming things and speculation at the moment, perhaps the 2nd pic isn’t Kinger revealing something like that to Pomni, so I could be completely wrong and stretching it in hindsight. But I still thought it’d be interesting to ask something like this. 

Who do you think might have the bigger controversial scene: Jax or Kinger?
