Do people like Riordan casually forget that the US has literally admitted to messing with our elections so as to further their interests? Do they casually forget that they've admitted to bringing the Junta that terrorised the majority of the Hellenic people for 7 whole years?
Or do they remember it but are too busy writing Gods like Hades fathering not only members of the Axis Powers but also the rejected Austrian Painter despite all we went through at their hands during WWII and onwards?
listen i read it as a kid and liked it too and i think that we can all agree that rick riordan's post-success career of elevating authors of color is better than jowling kowling's post-success career of hating trans people but people on this website look at percy jackson with profoundly rose-tinted glasses. amiguitas those books were literally textually about defending Western Civilization
