Simply because Panam is unimaginably careless and short sighted.
Like... she's just incompotent at making decisions in general. She's an idiot, and an asshole.
Her only redeeming characteristic is her BBL.
Pretty sure Johnny would have basically no sympathy for a hot headed fool, as compared to Judy, whom he may disagree with about various things... but Judy is actually competent, strategic, clever, fucks up for reasons that you can sympathize with, not be aggrevated by.
You know, somebody you could hate-fuck.
... I still remember the first time I played the first Panam mission. Both IRL and in character, I wanted to just kill her. She nearly gets you killed and then acts like you're the asshole for saving her life and salvaging the job.
I remember being pissed at the game for telling her to fuck off not being an option.
Ain't no way corpo background V would put up with Panam's bullshit.
When you take the romance path with Panam, you learn of Johnny's thoughts about her, just as you learn about his disdain for Judy when you romance her. All I can say without spoiling anything is that you are wrong.
You would appear to be correct very broadly, but, I played through as female V.
And the image shows one of the default presets for the female V.
You can't romance Panam as female V, not without mods, you have to be male.
You can romance Judy as female V, without mods.
Thus, arguably, Panam is canonically straight.
As best I can tell, you have to romance Panam for Johnny to say anything that might be construed as positive about Panam.
I say 'might be construed' because you have to assume that Johnny doesn't completely hate himself deep down, for maybe doing brash things very impulsively that led to horrific results... for comparing someone to himself to be considered positive.
Thus, Johnny's just being (or trying to be) nice to Panam because you as male V chose to like her.
Cherami leigh's lines when romancing Panam are great just wish we had lines for fem V romancing Kerry too, would be great to have a four romances in one playthrough. But i guess 3 is plenty :/

Feel like Johnny would be all for seeing yuri action. Now Eurodyne on the other hand... might cause some trauma.

It's more that he doesn't vibe with Judy specifically than him not caring for yuri. He probably considers Panam x V his OTP

I'm sorry but no way.

I never said Panam is "not like Johnny".
You just made that up.
If you read the entire thread, I actually said that Panam is somewhat like at least a younger Johnny, and that would be why he wouldn't like her.

Johnny's reaction to getting with river is great. Something along the lines of "Jesus V, cant belive you made me sleep with a cop".

Most based Johnny romance reaction tbh
