10 Anti LO Asks

1. They don't need to be complimentary colors but HxP isn't the only couple in LO with awful couple designs. Eros is neon pink jock (?) with generic brown girl Psyche. Poseidon and Amphitrite look like siblings. Aphrodite and Ares clash with Ares looking so ugly (😭). Athena and Hestia just look random next to each other. Thanatos and Daphne is just off-colored HxP. Ironically the only couples who looked good with each other was Minthe and Hades and Hades and Hera, and we know how well those went.

2. I remember the creator of Steven Universe, when called out for how they sexualized the fusion between two children, said they were "calling out objectification" and literally no one bought it, they just liked sexualizing a conventionally attractive female-designed character and tbh im seeing that same thing in Rachel claiming she's "pushing back against purity culture and seeing women as objects" as she does both of those things. anyway white ladies with the RS initials can not be trusted.

3. I’m going to be honest and say that I feel as though RS kind of lost passion for the series. I know it’s continually updated and such, but I have a feeling that she doesn’t enjoy working as much as she used to anymore. That could explain the sloppy...everything honestly. She know longer has the passion to do the comic. It could be for a bunch of reasons, such as fame getting too over her head or feeling forced to do the series or even just getting bored of it, but that’s my take on it 

4. name a more iconic duo than webtoons always promoting LO no matter how insignificant of a people's poll its up for while it ignores comics like hooky and the kissing bet getting actual awards from critics and respected institutions. clearly trying to get a mediocre white lady what's basically a teen's choice award is more important than mentioning hooky is getting actual awards and accolades by professionals and critics. i see you, webtoons 😒

5.hera found out by P's assault by touching her and took it upon herself to expose it to hephaestus who in turn had to SEE the r//pe to remove the photos. psyche found out through an arrow and was ready to expose it to everyone w/o P's consent. hades finds out through spying on her and then forcing her to tell him. so she only got to tell ONE person about this of her own choice (does eros having to explain it to her count? not really), while everyone else took that choice from her. So empowering!

6. Metis is a fertility deity in LO? I see we're just making shit up now! How cool of you, Rachel!

7. I think the unnecessary plot points in lo really drag it down. The trial and aow only serve to slow down the romance of Hades and Persephone. Eros and Psyche should have already been married as their love story was dragged on and made them both look like horrible people. Semele should have been introduced later so that her story wouldn’t look so abandoned and people could be more hyped about Dionysus. I think the Kronos plot is ok but it’s put on hold for the trial which is probably the most boring and confusing thing I’ve ever read.

8. tbh the webtoons social media people spend more time trying to give persephone a personality and anything interesting about her than the actual comic does. god belss em too because its not working ✨

9. now the excuse from fans is "its supposed be just tumblr prompts! it was never supposed to be accurate! rachel said so!" but thats not true? rachel herself calls it as "deconstruction"/"retelling", so it SHOULD be at least a little accurate, and also claims to be so researched on the myths and lists several "sources" she works off of, so which one is it? because she cant claim to be a myth expert but also say shes doesnt know and thus is allowed to just make up whatever. that's not how it works.

10. god bless now im seeing lo stans say its not supposed to be good its just supposed to be trashy fanfic and not taken seriously like ...ok so the years yall spent claiming it was a groundbreaking feminist masterpiece that should be considered as legit as homer himself is now a lie then? like which one is it?

From OP: I saw a fan say that Homer himself would love Lore Olympus and using this assumption to defend the story....I wish I was joking
