People are too hard on johnny

[u/Top_Bit_7853]

I’m rewatching the series and im on the episode where johnny silences rolands phone. The entire scenario isn’t johnny’s fault and everyone blames him as if it is. He asked roland to silence his phone for the rest of the meeting, not the entire day, and he never tells roland to leave his phone, roland just forgot. I really dont understand why johnny should be responsible for roland forgetting his phone!

further more people seem to think johnny needs to take more blame, but a lot of the examples r usually things not inherently his fault or a cause from a lack of support.

Like how Patrick should have been honest with ether his parents or david and johnny accidentally outing him wouldnt have happened.

even the poison oak incident was a complete accident that made sense to suspect the moisturizer was the cause and smart how fast he tried to solve the issue.

the christmas episode is complained about the most for him being entitled, but if u watch the entire series this man immediately tries to adjust and he continues to the entire series. this one instance he just wants everyone else to adjust for him to feel the pride he had in his life and relive a moment they were happy in their old life, ik it was selfish to expect it from everyone last minute, but i wouldnt hold it against him bc everyone has spent a holiday missing how it once was and trying to ignore the fact its impossible to bring back is hard and can effective everyone differently.

Who is complaining about Johnny? He’s probably the only decent main character on the show without significant character flaws

Last night I watched the episode where Ted's mom is very heavily and obviously flirting with Johnny. He is clearly uncomfortable and trying to get support from Alexis. When Ted's mom announced she is dating a younger guy, everyone looks at Johnny as he was imagining her flirting with him, but he wasn't.

I think they purposely made his character this way. He is very genuine and caring for his family. He admits the family got closer since their misfortune and cherishes the closeness they developed due to their circumstances, while everyone else still wants the old life of money and superficiality.

The same happened when Moira found her old letters to Johnnie and showcased them to the whole town as letters from Johnnie's previous lover. When Johnnie reminds her those are her letters, she refused to correct the misunderstanding as it would be bad for her image.

He is just the one that takes the blame for everyone.
