anyway i think that one thing that bugs me so much about the way johnny/peanut is usually portrayed in the fandom - which extends to other mlm ships with johnny btw - is how the narratives are put in a way that doesn't require johnny to challenge the misogyny he regularly displays in game which is what really damaged the relationship with lola on his part and one of his flaws as a character

#there are A SHIT TON other problems with the way this fandom portrays johnny/peanut btw. if anyones interested i might dive in someday #but i think this is one of the first ones that i notices and it itches somewhere in the back of my brain #bully #johnny vincent #lola lombardi #peanut romano #also just as a disclaimer IM ALL FOR MLM JOHNNY. give me more johnny/vance we need it in here. and johnny/derby too v v valid. but PLEASE l #lets not just push aside how raging his misgyny always is when he talks abt lola. its so important to understand their dynamic that both of #them are TERRIBLY toxic for each other and its not just one whos right and one whos wrong. the world isnt black and white and by flattenin #g down their issues to 'johnny did nothing wrong ever and lola is pure evil >:(' is. reductive and damaging. yes irl as well #(want to specify that IM NOT JUSTIFYING LOLA CHEATING ON HIM. but im sick of johnny being depicted as an innocent victim tbh)#odyposts
