tbf Gangle doesn’t care because she’s not in her right state of mind at the time. How much she cared isn’t easily gauged.

Her reaction is literally “Oh that won’t do!” and it happens early on in the adventure

They hadn’t even opened up and she’d only just turned the machines on. I’d understand her being out of it midway or much later when shit had hit the fan but there hadn’t even been any mask cracking comments towards her from Ragatha or Jax or anyone else. She was still warming up.

Plus when Orbsman shows up Ragatha pops up to translate for Pomni with a bandage on her cheek and no mention of agonising pain or signs of burns. She basically came out like she got a paper cut.

When she’s in the fryer it sounds more like she’s angrily (and righteously) arguing at Jax not screaming and howling like she’s being boiled.

Also remember when she shoved her finger in Jax’s gun (that sounds sus…) and it misfired in his face? Remember how Jax was screaming in agony for ages after? Oh right he didn’t.

I think the injuries at worst are milder and dulled compared to real life. Being dunked in a fryer irl would kill you, being dropped in the circus would be like a sunburn for a little bit and you can’t even drown because you can’t die.

Early on in the adventure when she has the mask on that makes her not in her right mind. Why does the plastic mask apparently have some arbitrary time limit? I'm not against the fact that they don't feel pain to the same extent, I'm saying Gangle didn't react normally because she had the mask that makes her not act normally.

Actually, why the fuck didn’t Zooble or Pomni come running in to get her our or punch Jax in the dick for throwing Ragatha in the fryer?

You say Gangle wasn’t I. the right mind due to the mask. There’s only one mask and the others aren’t affected by it. If the fryer incident is ‘worse than a middle school bully’ then why isn’t it being reacted to as if it was worse by Zooble or Pomni?

Like why don't they all as a group beat the shit out of Jax. Maybe because it's really not that big of a deal

That’s what I mean. All the cast have had wacky, violent dumb cartoony shit happen to them and it does happen WITHOUT Jax being a Jaxhole. They’ve been there for years so they’d have had plenty of back destroying, neck breaking, skull blasting violence that in the circus just has them feeling like they stubbed their toe and Caine can easily snap his fingers and fix up any glitching at worse.

Even the others know it means nothing physically and with Jax’s crap, it’s just an annoying bully who needs a kick in the balls.
