i follow pjo tags that im usually fine seeing on my dash and i keep seeing people posting about some Discourse thats popped up again since the comic con card photo things came out about leah and like. i guess i curated my dash well because im seeing literally none of that

#crunchyposts #pjo #pjotv #im not tagging this with a//abeth i dont want it in my tag for her #thank god i dont follow racists and am not on reddit #the amount of people on reddit i saw who were so disappointed in them not looking like the characters #i honeslty dont really understand the gripes with them not looking like the book descriptions like any issues i had went out thewindow when #i saw actual people attached to them #i like that ann/beths black!!!!! i think it adds a lot to her character!!!!!#i dont give a shit about percys hair color!!!!!!!!!!! ive seen walker act i trust him!!!!!!!#i really dont get why people are so disappointed with it????? i saw one person say bc they had an idea of what they looked like for years #but i mean. more representation for marginalized groups #ive thought a lot about lack of rep as a queer south east asian person i was just happy there was more of it for other marginalized people #i wouldve preferred an animated show but honestly i prefer this now bc i never wouldve gotten why annabeth works better if shes black #if it was animated and they changed the race of any of them the discourse (cough and racism cough) would be 10x worse itd be awful #but like an all white cast???? i wouldnt like that either #and you KNOW the shitstorm online if they changed any major character even if it wasnt one of the main 3 #anyways sorry long tags again i thought a lot about this get off my blog if you complain about any of the actors appearances i dont think w #should dictate what a childs appearance should be just for a tv show #edit actually extra thing here i think it would be kinda cool if rachel was still white so we could subvert that trope of poc love interest #being stepping stones before the main character inevitably ends up with the white main love interest #if they made it like extra clear that he was going to choose annab/th though to shut down any racism that might happen
