Vindicators normally go after players, villagers and iron golems. Name one "Johnny" and it swings its axe at almost any mob nearby, leaving only other illagers and ghasts alone. It's a reference to the "Here's Johnny!" scene in The Shining, where Jack Torrance hacks through a door with an axe. It has been in the game since vindicators were added in Java Edition 1.11.
