I was just reading some PJO fanfics and I just remembered why I stopped and why I'm not really part of the fandom anymore. People's reactions to criticisms of characters are kind of terrifying and when a character acts badly, they're excused because they're a favourite character. Also, don't get me started on the whole 'Persassy' thing or the fandom's worship of Rick Riordan.
I love Percy Jackson but the fandom isn't something I want to be a part of. I know most of you are here for my Harry Potter content, but I feel like this just has to be said.
So many good forms of media are ruined by toxic fandoms and it's so sad.
