I could not disagree more. In life and media, straight white guys have gotten and still get all the representation - they not only get showcased, you also see them play a variety of roles - good guys, bad guys, anti heroes, and also get redemption arcs. The more unique aspect about Jess is that Rory didn't stick with him with the intention of "making him better", which is a trap that many of good girl/bad boy relationships end up falling into or at least one that they used to fall into. I agree he needed her encouragement, and it was good for him to have someone who *saw* him, even before Luke, since he clearly never had that before, and I was happy that he was use that even after he was away.
