Like it’s pretty tough, but the weird “blame Goku for almost having universe 7 wiped from existence” thing might actually go down as dumbest complaint from the fandom.
I contest to that, the weirdest thing I saw the fandom complaining about is the kiss thing, I even used to believe that it wasn't serious and people were only joking about it. But I guess I'm wrong, given how
this page exists.

Zeno didn't erase the world 1,000 years into the future and Zeno didn't erase Future Trunks time line, until Goku got Zeno involved with Zamasu. If Goku didn't get Zeno involved then he wouldn't have erased the future time line.
You focus on specific moments in order to complain about Goku, but aside from "should've used other character" you talk as if removing those moments would've solved things or made you complain less about them, which is not true.
Zamasu literally fused with the Future Timeline Universe and was even affecting the Present Timeline, imagine the consequences of that, everyone could die, so let's imagine that Goku did nothing, and Infinite Zamasu destroyed everything. Goku could have saved Trunks and the others because he had Zeno's button, escaping from a dead timeline where Zamasu killed everyone else on Earth, other mortals and gods, and had the chance to save the other timelines where everything was fine, but decided to not use the button for some reason because...he was dumb? That means you would still complain about Goku anyway.
How do we know Zeno would actually erase the present time line, if Goku didn't go to his place? For all we know Zeno could forget, just like how Zeno forgot about the tournament.
There were two Zenos this time, and both of them agreed with each other about erasing the universes, it wasn't the decision of only one. So the chances of one reminding the other about it would've been big. Maybe if it was only one Zeno he could forget about it more easily. If Goku never went to the two Zenos and they decided to erase the universes, then it would be his fault because he's the one who brought the other Zeno to the present timeline, so he was dumb. Meaning you would still complain about Goku anyway.
Being a battle royale is more reason to not drop his guard, which Goku did about 3 times leaving himself vulnerable. There is nothing wrong with conserving energy, but there was no excuse with him being careless and leaving his guard down.
Even if he didn't do it with weaker opponents, he could've done it when fighting Jiren only for example. Meaning you would still complain about Goku anyway.
Just because they were made for laugh doesn't mean they were written good. They should have used other characters for those scenes.
Goku is an expert at martial arts, he saw through Kami lies who is a God and he saw through his disguise. They should use other characters who has no feet like Goku.
I never said it was written good though, if it's funny or not, well written or not that will depend solely on the viewer. The comparison you're making is with a scene that is supposed to work as a serious mystery, we weren't supposed to know that the guy was Kami. The Monaka episode we all know that is Beerus because it's part of the joke. And even with that, Beerus has God Ki and could hide it from Goku, Goku himself didn't use any God form in the fight, he was holding himself against the supposed Universe 7's strongest. And if Goku ended up discovering that it was Berrus in disguise, he would still be fooled because of Puar, thinking he was the real Beerus despite the different eye design and voice. Meaning you would still complain about Goku anyway.
Goku didn't have any problem in attacking anyone that had their guard down like his battle against Recoome. Again they should have used another character.
Comparison with a important scene made to shock and show how Goku has evolved? It's meant to be special, build drama and characters developments of Goku and Vegeta, something that Super also does in moments that were much more appropriate for you to compare with than a joke moment. That scene in the ToP is purely a joke and has nothing special about it. Still, let's pretend then that Goku didn't complain about 17 doing that then, it would show us that he had no problem with it. But then, why he didn't do the same thing to other opponents? Just replicate what 17 did or what himself did to Reacoom, but he decided to not do it, which is dumb. Meaning you would still complain about Goku anyway.
The Monaka episode completely contradicts Goku as a character, which is bad.
Okay, if that episode was such a problem and you blame Toei for it, then let's pretend that the episode doesn't exist. It wouldn't change anything, because the Monaka joke would still exist anyway, as it came from Toriyama, in both the anime and manga, you would still see Goku being fooled by Beerus, you would still see Goku being the only one who didn't discover the truth about it and that Beerus was lying. Meaning you would still complain about Goku anyway.
