Why do people who hate the idea of Jon not being held accountable for his choices and actions, regardless of if he knew their outcomes, portray him as weaker and more pathetic than he actually is?

Like. Here’s some examples of Jon ‘advocating’ for himself, examples that are used as signs of his slipping humanity as they are explicitly about him feeding, but examples of him pushing against Basira’s hypocrisy nonetheless. The issue here is that him showing any backbone about their treatment towards him is automatically an indication of his monstrousness, not the push back itself.
But there are people who draw Jon in a puddle of his own tears and whimpering like a dog kept out of its owners room for anything and everything when it comes to season four. As though HE was constantly whining like a child about how he was being treated and not, y’know, an adult having conversations about morals and ethics with his peers.
Maybe we all do some projecting in these here Magnus Archives. Maybe none of us really have the full breadth of the show in our minds at all times and we all have our biases that color our perspectives of the podded cast.
