You might think that, but it's not even the main point. Throughout ep 5 and 6, both Jax and Ragatha are shown to be overly clingy to the mask they portrayed themselves for their own self-benefits, whether it's to be friends with everyone by being fake nice and please everyone when they're not interested to protect herself from loneliness and ridicule, or being rigidly asshole when being shown kindness to protect himself from genuine emotions. Without Kinger, Rags would also abstract in the loser corner like Jax. She just got her shit together enough in time to come back to normal by the end.
They're essentially 2 side of the same shit coin. It's less about shitting on 1 character to prop up another, and more about a dick-measuring contest on how fake both of them were trying to be, before 1 of them realizes how lame it is to be fake and go back to be normal.
