Adventure or not, Jax was still a dick back then, yet in hindsight, it was still one of his lesser crimes he committed. Since then everyone hates him so much, half the time it's just the rest of the cast getting sick of his shit by tying him up in ep 3 or gangle forcing him to watch movies, clockwork orange style in ep 4.
He gets joy from punching down, either NPCs or gangle, a lot of time to just reinforce his bullshit video game worldview. His coping mechanism is his straightjacket, forcing himself to be more and more of a dick, even when he doesn't have to, cause it's more preferable to him than confronting his own trauma and feelings.
The entirety of ep 6, he kept forcing pomni into that same rigid role, and when the fun is already over, he kept pushing her to the edge, baiting her own fear of abstracting alone and no one remembering her. The fact that Pomni only threw the gun at him proves that he was really pushing his luck, and was desperately trying to prevent Pomni from blowing his or her fucking brain out.
Because that's all he's capable of, bandaging over open wound with fakery rather than dealing with the root problem by being real and honest for once. And the clearest solution involves him confronting his own past and true feelings, which he is incapable of doing anytime soon.
