[EVERYTHING] I think people are too harsh on Olly

So I used to be like everyone else when it came to Olly and hated him with all my heart with no second thought. But after rewatching the show for the 4th time, I’ve realized that Olly actually made a decent point in being angry at Jon Snow. I used to think he just hated all wildlings because they killed his family. But after listening to what he said to Sam in Season 5, I think his hatred is a bit more understandable now. Sam argues by telling Olly that not all wildlings are bad so Olly should understand that it will be good to save them. Olly responds by mentioning how the red haired one (Tormund) was part of the group that raided villages and killed innocent women and children. This made me realize that Olly is a bit more logical than I previously thought, since he is putting the blame on a specific person who did wrong things. So I now see why he hates Jon specifically for befriending one of the people who was directly involved in the murder of his family. I absolutely don’t think killing Jon was justified, but I understand why he was angry at Jon for not punishing Tormund at all for what he did. People generally love Tormund because of his comical lines, toughness in battle, and quirky relationship with Brienne. But I think it needs to be remembered that he did commit atrocities that would be hard to forgive if you were involved in them. I’ll say it again, when Jon hangs Olly I don’t really feel bad considering what he did, I just think it’s important that people grasp the extent of where his hatred came from.
