A video about the PJO show was recommended to me on YouTube and while I didn't watch it I did click on it to read the comments bc the title was negative about the show and I honestly felt like I was going crazy reading that reviews were so positive for the show

Like, I needed some validation

And judging by the comments, there's a segment in the video about I guess the fan base, esp on Twitter, virulently defending the show? To the extent that they are rejecting all criticism

Meanwhile not only have I seen zero vehement defense of the show but I have seen uhhhhhh zero things at all about it on my dash. Like, there was buzz building up to the show's release but once it dropped I stopped seeing ANYTHING about it. Probably bc most of the people who would be on my dash agreed with me that the show is...a kinda shit adaptation.

Anyways the moral of the story is that I'm glad I don't have Twitter

#reading ''the fanbase isn't accepting criticism over the show''#when I haven't seen ANYTHING about it since it dropped #(I'm not like. active in the PJO fandom but stuff comes across my dash)#felt v smoke on the horizon. ships passing in the night and one is sinking.#also multiple comments said they gave up on the Medusa episode which is funny bc I did too lol #anyways I won't watch the show bc I don't want to rile myself up #but I was perplexed to hear of Fan Misbehavior so I felt the need to make this post #also multiple comments were implying that Trials of Apollo is bad???? and fans didn't like the series???#I mean I like them. I'm rereading them in fact.#so not EVERY fan dislikes them #speecher speaks
