Thank you so much to everyone who has been with me in the fandom this year, for talking to me, liking my drawings, and sharing them. This is a very nice community and have given me a safe space to share my art. And I will do more in the future!
Muchas gracias a todos los que me han acompañado en el fandom este año, por hablar conmigo, darle me gusta a mis dibujos y compartirlos. Son una comunidad muy agradable y me han brindado un espacio seguro para compartir mi arte. ¡Y haré muchos más en el futuro!
you replied to a user underneath this post saying: "Jhonen is doing everything right. I love how people understand the differences between Jimmy and Johnny, and yet both can still be considered "bad people," as Johnny himself clarifies"
what makes johnny or jimmy "bad people"? just because they both hurt people?
we don't know much about jimmy and his circumstances but it was made pretty clear throughout this comic that johnny is deeply unwell, clearly out of his own mind and out of his own control. johnny is at a near constant safety risk to others and himself. johnny WANTS to be normal and not hurt other people but he just CAN'T, if he could we would've chosen to stop and live a normal healthy life already, but he can't so he doesn't. if a person struggles so much to control themselves how can they be reasonably held responsible for their actions, even the very harmful ones, and thus how can they be called a bad person? there are plenty of people out there who struggle in very similar way to johnny, some are violent, some are self-destructive, some are homicidal, some are suicidal, some are all of the above. why must we look down on them and laugh at them and hold them to the same high expectations that we hold normal and in-control and well adjusted people to when they have clearly show themselves to not be able to? how is laughing at anti-social people and just constantly reiterating how "bad" they are and how harmful their actions are going to help anyone? moralizing about these people and playing the blame game with them only helps to make normal and well adjusted people feel superior, the people it's most harmful to are the people like johnny who are already hurting so much.
do you people call non-violent but severely suicidal people "bad people" for not being able to just be happy on a whim and resist hurting themselves? why don't we start treating suicidal people like abusers and murderers? after all, we all know that suicide often hurts the people around the victim, it's bad to hurt people right? hurting normal people, no matter the context, is always the worst thing people can do so why don't we just brush off all the struggles suicidal people face and just laugh at them and blame them and call them bad people for DARING to not be happy, huh? it's so fucking easy to be happy and normal, so why can't they just do it, huh?
why do you all just go along with this comic and never question it's fucking ableism?
ANALYSIS OF WHY JOHNNY AND JIMMY ARE BAD PEOPLE
(Why should I even explain this...?)
I'm going to answer this in Spanish too because I'm not good at writing in English, and I want to clarify a few things and avoid misunderstandings because of my writing. It will be translated with Google, so any spelling or grammatical errors are due to that.
First of all, I'm fully aware that the universe of Jhonen Vasquez (JTHM, Squee!, IFS, Iz) consists of stories that can't be judged by the same moral standards we use in reality. Why? Because the logic and morality of Jhonen Vasquez's universe are so distorted that there's constant abuse, murder, monsters around every corner, etc. People don't think the same way as in our reality, and they take every tragedy or misfortune that occurs with little or no seriousness. But that doesn't mean that there are things Johnny objectively did within the story that can't be considered especially "good" or justifiable, even within its context and story.
Johnny is a character who was manipulated into killing people and using their blood to feed the wall. He didn't have to do anything else; the house itself has the devices that do all the work for him and collect the blood he needs (for example, Edgar's death). And yes, Johnny attacks people precisely because he initially believes it's what he enjoys doing. However, in volume 4, Johnny first questions the reasons for his actions, the reason for the murders, and this is his turning point. He's so deeply entrenched that he realizes everything he did was the product of someone else's manipulation (the bakers and the wall). It becomes clear that Johnny is considered a social outcast because he deviates from the conventional mold of the people in his world, and that simply because of who he is, it's justifiable to attack him. Not everyone in JTHM is like that, but in response to this, Johnny, with the protection afforded him by the bakers (which is made clear in Sickness's conversation with Devi), can do whatever he wants and kill people without any consequences thanks to his position as "Waste Cleaner" (as Satan says). He is someone condemned to witness the decay of others, and that is the source of his purpose as a killer. Johnny was literally condemned to a fate he never wanted, asked for, or liked, solely for the benefit of other creatures, to be used as a mere puppet, and to have his creativity consumed until nothing remained of him.
However, it's implied that Johnny, thanks to the power and freedom the bakers offer him, does increasingly questionable things over time, to the point that by the time we read the story, Johnny has already done unimaginable things, not even to collect the blood for the wall, but simply to prove that he isn't weak, that he doesn't deserve to be humiliated for who he is, and that he won't receive any punishment for his actions.
I compiled a list a long time ago of all the things Johnny did within the story. I might have missed some, but here are the ones I was able to gather:
- Serial murder
- Torture (Sadistic and sexual: An example of the latter is the taxi driver from hell whom Johnny forced to "eat his friends' parts")
- Kidnapping
- Armed robbery
- Assault
- Burglary
- Terrorist acts
- Destruction of private property
- Illegal possession of firearms
- Neglect and animal cruelty
- Psychological abuse (conscious or unconscious) of a minor (Attacking Squee's father or when he murdered the pedophile in front of him)
- Desecration of corpses
And perhaps many more things that happened off-screen...
Johnny is no gentle dove. He tested the most unimaginable limits just to see how much he could and couldn't do, even if it meant killing a flower vendor, drawing his blood in public, and running away, and no one would do anything to stop him. He was able to stop him thanks to the "protection" he had, but he did it anyway; he DECIDED to do it, just as he decided to kill Edgar even though he wasn't a bad person, simply taking someone at random to finish the job faster and go home. And Johnny also DECIDES at the end of the story, when he revives and is almost bald, to try to stop listening to the voices, even though Reverend Meat is still there insistently. He doesn't want to listen to him because he knows he'll only try to manipulate him into believing he enjoys killing people, and then he'll be used again; it will be a cycle again.
But none of that erases the fact that he murdered many people, innocent or guilty, that he attacked Devi, his romantic interest, just because he didn't want a bad moment to damage the image he had of her, that he killed Edgar knowing he was a good person, that he killed a flower vendor who was just doing his job without bothering anyone, etc. Johnny has his own criteria for killing people, but those criteria haven't been used by him.
He feels morally superior to the people he chooses to be the executioner of. And that's what I like about JTHM: it treats Johnny and his situation, however twisted, with great self-awareness and humanity, while also showing how Johnny, even from the lowest point, manages to realize his situation and try to escape. He still has a long way to go to understand himself, and if he seeks redemption, he will, because he never wanted to be a murderer. (I've been writing and analyzing JTHM for a story I'm working on; my boy has more to tell.)
As for Jimmy, all we know is that he suffered bullying for being different, a situation similar to Johnny's. However, unlike Johnny, who was manipulated into doing what he did because he was too vulnerable to distinguishing external voices from his own (information found in the Director's Cut character sheets, in the respective descriptions of D-Boy and Mr. Eff), Jimmy harbored thoughts of revenge against those who wronged him, but lacked the courage to act on them, leaving them only as fantasies in his notebooks. He DECIDED to kill on his own. At no point in the story is it stated or shown that he suffers from any disorder that would cause him to delusionally reach such conclusions; it is only shown that he has a morbid obsession with Johnny and wants to be like him and be his student. All we can assume is that, in terms of our reality, he is a psychopath, someone who lacks empathy for others. Otherwise, why would he attack a girl he didn't know simply because she "reminded him of a girl from his high school who bullied him," and why would he SA her for that reason alone? Regardless of whether the girl was like the one he knew, he simply judged her superficially and ended her life for the sheer satisfaction of doing so. Johnny, on the other hand, was being manipulated into killing so many people, but he also decided how to end their lives, choosing the most twisted, torturous, and disgusting methods possible, even resorting to kidnapping them as punishment when "his position thanks to the bakers" only required him to take their blood and feed the wall. There was no need for Johnny to be sadistic in doing so (as I said, there were machines in the house that did those things for him), so there's no justification for it.
Johnny could be considered a sociopath, unlike Jimmy, and suffers from severe depression and intrusive thoughts that lead to multiple suicide attempts. Johnny does have empathy and shows remorse for everything he did, including attacking Devi. Johnny started killing because of the circumstances and how they led him to that point, while Jimmy didn't. Sooner or later, regardless of whether he knew Johnny or not, Jimmy would have found some other means, place, or person that would have given him the courage to do the things he did. He didn't actually do all that because something "inspired or encouraged him to find the courage," since he had been predisposed to it for many years. This statement is as absurd as saying that "violent video games make people violent." People DECIDE to do the things they do. The fact that there are exceptions who do it because they don't separate reality from fiction doesn't imply that it's the norm or a general rule. (Even Johnny says, "They're just entertainment, not guides for self-destruction.")
However, Johnny isn't a better person than Jimmy just because he didn't abuse anyone, nor is Jimmy less innocent simply because the number of victims was lower. Both Johnny and Jimmy DECIDED what they did, even if, in Johnny's case, it was due to his precarious situation and lack of support. He killed and attempted to kill innocent people, fully aware of it, and that's why he knows he's not a role model. That's also why he tells Jimmy that he's the villain and shouldn't be praised for the horrible things he's done. Jhonen wrote that part fully aware of the letters his fans sent him justifying Johnny and his actions, or expressing a desire to be like him, and that was his most brutal response to the situation.
Johnny and Jimmy proclaimed themselves morally superior to others, when in reality they weren't so different from the people they criticized.
I have never been ableist, I have never minimized any neurodivergent person or anyone in a precarious situation, because I know that REAL people have feelings, experience things no one else knows about, and deal with their own problems.
I love Johnny as a fictional character and I can openly admit that he is a questionable character. Yes, but I will NEVER idolize someone like Johnny in real life. I love his writing, his story, and his personality, as well as all of Jhonen Vasquez's other characters, but I will NEVER justify a real murderer, and I would never do all the things you said. You're making assumptions about me without knowing me at all. Just because I said that Johnny and Jimmy are bad people in a post where I drew him because of the lack of content the character receives due to all the hate he gets? Where are you basing all the things you said on just that one simple comment? Was it really necessary for me to write all this when the ENTIRE story explicitly emphasizes and shows all these points?
Sighhhh...
With nothing more to say on the matter, I'll leave this drawing of Johnny and Ivy being completely out of character because nothing I draw affects the original work, and because it makes me happy to draw whatever I want.
ESPAÑOL
ANALISIS DEL PORQUE JIMMY Y JOHNNY SON MALAS PERSONAS
(¿Por qué debería estar explicando esto...?)
En primer lugar, soy plenamente consciente de que el universo de Jhonen Vasquez (JTHM, Squee!, IFS, Iz) son historias las cuales no se pueden juzgar con la misma moral que manejamos en la realidad ¿Por qué? Porque la lógica y moral del universo de Jhonen Vasquez está tan deformada que hay maltrato constante, asesinatos, monstruos en cada esquina, etc. Las personas no tienen la misma forma de pensar que nuestra realidad y cada tragedia o desgracia que ocurre la toman con poca o nada de seriedad. Pero eso no significa que hay cosas que objetivamente Johnny hizo dentro de la historia las cuales no pueden considerarse especialmente "buenas" o justificables, incluso dentro de su contexto e historia.
Johnny es un personaje que fue manipulado para matar a las personas y usar su sangre para alimentar a la pared. El no tenía que hacer nada más que éso, incluso la misma casa tiene los artefactos que hacen todo el trabajo por el y recolectan la sangre que necesita (Ejemplo; La muerte de Edgar) y si, Johnny ataca a las personas precisamente porque el cree que es lo que disfruta hacer EN UN INICIO. SIN EMBARGO, En el tomo 4 es la primera vez donde Johnny se cuestiona el porqué de sus acciones, el porqué de los asesinatos y es su punto de inflexión, dónde el ya está tan hundido que se da cuenta que todo lo que el hacía era producto de las manipulaciones de alguien más (los panaderos y la pared) Y se deja en claro que Johnny al ser considerado un marginado social porque se sale del molde convencional de las personas de su mundo, y que solo por ser como es justificable agredirlo. No todas las personas en JTHM son así, pero en respuesta a esto Johnny con la protección que le otorganlos panaderos (que queda claro con la conversación de Sickness con Devi), puede hacer lo que quiera y matar personas sin ninguna consecuencia de por medio gracias a su posición de "Limpiador de residuos" (Como dice Satán) es alguien condenado a ver la pudredumbre de las personas y de alli su propósito como asesino. Literalmente Johnny fue condenado a un destino que nunca quiso ni pidió, ni que le gusta, solo por el beneficio de otras criaturas y usarlo como un simple títere y consumir su creatividad hasta que no quedara nada de él.
Sin embargo, se deja entrever que Johnny gracias a esta posición de poder y libertad que le ofrecen los panaderos, hace cosas más y más cuestionables con el pasar del tiempo, a un punto que cuando leemos la obra, Johnny ya ha hecho cosas inimaginables, incluso sin la finalidad de recolectar esa sangre para la pared, sino como una mera forma de demostrar que el no es débil, que el no merece ser humillado por como es y que el no recibirá ningún castigo por sus acciones.
Enlisté hace mucho tiempo todas las cosas que hizo Johnny dentro de la historia, quizás se me pasó alguna, pero aquí están las que pude recopilar:
- Asesinato en serie
- tortura (Sádica y Sexual: Ejemplo de este último, el taxista del infierno al que Johnny obligó a que "comiera las partes de sus amigos")
- secuestro
- asalto a mano armada
- Agresión
- Allanamiento de morada
- actos terroristas
- Destrucción de propiedad privada
- portación de armas ilegalmente
- negligencia y crueldad animal
- Maltrato psicológico (consciente o inconscientemente) hacia un menor (Atacar al padre de Squee o cuando asesinó al pedófilo frente a el)
- Profanación de cadáveres
Y quizás muchos cosas más que pasaron fuera de cámara...
Johnny no es una mansa paloma, el tanteo los límites más inimaginables solo para probar que tanto podía o no hacer, incluso si mataba a un vendedores de flores, extraer su sangre en público y huir, y que nadie haría nada para detenerlo gracias a la "protección que tenía, el sin embargo lo hizo, el DECIDIÓ hacerlo, así como decidió matar a Edgar aún sin ser una mala persona y simplemente tomar a alguien al azar para terminar mas rápido el trabajo e ir a casa. Y Johnny tambien DECIDE al final de la historia, cuando revive y queda casi calvo, intentar dejar de escuchar las voces, aunque aún siga el Reverendo Carne por allí de forma insistente, el no quiere escucharlo, porque sabe que solo intentará manipularlo para que crea que disfruta matar personas y de nuevo será usado, de nuevo será un ciclo.
Pero nada de eso borra el hecho de que haya asesinado a muchas personas, inocentes o culpables, el atacar a Devi, su interés romántico, solo porque no quería que un mal momento dañara la imagen que tenía de ella, mató a Edgar sabiendo que era una buena persona, mató a un vendedor de flores que solo estaba haciendo su trabajo sin molestar a nadie, etc. Johnny tiene sus propios criterios al matar personas, pero esos criterios no lo hacen moralmente superior a las personas a las cuales el decide ser su verdugo. Y eso es lo que me gusta de JTHM, que trata a Johnny y a su situación, por más retorcida que esté, con mucha autoconciencia, con mucha humanidad y a su vez mostrar el como Johnny aún desde lo más bajo piso darse cuenta para intentar salir, y aun le falta mucho por recorrer para entenderse a si mismo y si en todo caso, buscar su redención, lo hará, porque el nunca quiso ser un asesino (He estado escribiendo y analizando JTHM para una historia que estoy haciendo, mi muchacho tiene mas para contar)
Jimmy por su lado lo único que sabemos es que sufrió de bullying por ser diferente, una situación similar a Johnny. Sin embargo, a diferencia de Johnny, quien fue manipulado para hacer las cosas que hizo debido a que estaba muy vulnerable para diferenciar voces externas a las suyas propias (Información que sale en las fichas de personaje del Director's Cut, en las respectivas descripciones de D-Boy y Mr. Eff) Jimmy tenía pensamientos de cobrar venganza contra las personas que le hacían daño, pero sin tener el valor para hacerlo, y solo dejándolo en meras fantasías en sus libretas escritas, el DECIDIÓ matar por su propia cuenta. En ningún momento de la historia se dice o muestra que el sufra de algún trastorno que lo haga delirar para que llegue a tales conclusiones, solamente que tiene una hiperfijación enfermiza con Johnny y que quiere ser como el y ser su estudiante. Todo lo que podemos asumir es que en términos de nuestra realidad, el es un psicópata, alguien que carece de empatía hacia los demás, porque si no ¿Porque el atacaría a una chica que no conocía, solo porque "le recordaba a una chica de su secundaria que lo molestaba" y la ABUSARIA solo por eso? Independientemente de si la chica era o no como la que el conocía, el simplemente la juzgo superficialmente y acabo con su vida por la mera satisfacción de hacerlo. Cuando Johnny en contraparte si, estaba siendo manipulado para matar a tantas personas, pero el DECIDÍA TAMBIEN la forma en la cuales acabar con ellas, y decidió que fuera de las formas más retorcidas, tortuosas y desagradables posibles, e incluso solo secuestrarlas para castigarlas cuando "su posición gracias a los panaderos" solo le exigía tomar esa sangre y alimentar la pared. No había necesidad de que Johnny fuera sádico a la hora de hacerlo (como dije, existían máquinas que hacían esas cosas por él en la casa) así que no hay justificación para eso.
Johnny podría considerarse un sociopata a diferencia de Jimmy y que tiene una depresión severa, pensamientos intrusivos que lo conducen a múltiples intentos de suicidio. Johnny si tiene empatía y muestra arrepentimiento de haber hecho todas las cosas que hizo, así como el haber atacado a Devi. Nny empezó a matar debido a las circunstancias y el como esto lo hizo llegar a ese punto, mientras que Jimmy no. Jimmy tarde o temprano, independientemente de si conocía o no a Johnny, el hubiera visto a algún otro medio, lugar o persona, que lo haría tomar el valor de hacer las cosas que hizo, o inclusive, el realmente no hizo todo eso porque algo "lo inspirara o animará a tomar el valor" ya que el estaba predispuesto a hacerlo desde hacía muchos años atrás. Porque está frase es tan absurda como el decir que "los vídeojuegos violentos hacen violentas a las personas" Las personas DECIDEN hacer las cosas que hacen, que hayan excepciones que si lo hagan, debido a que no separan la realidad de la ficción, no implica que sea la norma o algo general. (incluso Johnny lo dice "Son solo entretenimiento, no son guías para automaldecirte")
Sin embargo, ni Johnny es mejor persona que Jimmy porque el no abusara de alguien, ni Jimmy es menos inocente solo porque el número de víctimas fuera menor. Ambos DECIDIERON las cosas que hicieron, aún si en el caso de Johnny fuera por la precaria situación y falta de apoyo en la que se encontraba, el mato e intentó matar a personas inocentes también siendo complemente consciente de ello, y es por eso que el sabe que no es un ejemplo a seguir, y por eso mismo le a Jimmy que el es el villano, y no debería de alabarlo por las cosas horribles que ha hecho. Jhonen escribió esa parte siendo completamente consciente de las cartas que le enviaban sus fans justificando a Johnny y las cosas que hizo, o que aspiraban a querer ser como el, y esa fue su más cruda respuesta a la situación.
Johnny y Jimmy se autoproclamaron como personas moralmente superiores a los demás, cuando realmente no eran tan diferentes a las personas a las cuales ellos mismos criticaban.
En ningún momento he sido capacitista, nunca he minimizando a alguna persona neuro divergente o alguna persona en situación precaria, porque se que las personas REALES tienen sentimientos, viven cosas que nadie más sabe y lidiar con sus propios problemas.
Me encanta Johnny como personaje ficticio y puedo admitir abiertamente que el es un personaje cuestionable, pero JAMÁS voy a idolatrar a una persona como Johnny en la vida real. Amo su escritura, su historia y su forma de ser ,así como todos los demás personajes de Jhonen Vasquez, pero JAMÁS voy a justificar a un asesino real, y jamás haría todas las cosas que dijiste, estás asumiendo cosas de mi sin conocerme en lo absoluto ¿Solo porque dije que Johnny y Jimmy son malas personas en un post donde lo dibujé debido al poco contenido que recibe el personaje por todo el odio que tiene? ¿De dónde fundamentas todas las cosas que dijiste con solo con ese simple comentario? ¿De verdad era tan necesario que escribiera todo este texto cuando TODA la historia recalca y muestra EXPLÍCITAMENTE todos estos puntos?
Sighhhh...
Sin nada más que decir al respecto, dejo este dibujo de Johnny e Ivy siendo completamente Out of Character porque nada de lo que dibujo afecta a la obra original, y porque me hace feliz dibujar lo que quiera.
