Why do certain book "fans" who say they can't see the characters if they don't match their book descriptions, think they're the majority?

Like, that's fine if it mattered to you. But you literally don't matter in the grand scheme. You have no ownership of this franchise.

The MAJORITY of PJO fans were able to handle the casting because Annabeth's strength, tenacity and intelligence mattered more than her blonde hair; and Percy's loyalty, kindness and bravery mattered more than his green eyes.

The superficial features that you're obsessing over are not what connected with the vast majority of readers. That's why kids who have only watched the show (aka the actual age-demo for the show and books) are able to view Leah as their Annabeth with no issue, even if she doesn't match the book description.

Like I am an adult, that was the exact age demo for when these books came out. I've probably been a pjo fan longer than a lot of the loudest complainers. Your interpretation of the books holds no more weight than mine. We both read the same book and yet this is only a sticking point for you.

And you know who's voice matters the most? The ACTUAL AUTHOR. Who despite his issues with the movie, never cared that Annabeth wasn't blonde. Hell, he hasn't even been consistent with his own character descriptions over the years (y'all forget Rachel Dare's hair was first described as "brownish-red"? Or Clarisse's hair changing color? All the age inconsistencies in HOO? The contradicting "official" artist renditions? etc. etc.).

Point is, go to your corner and complain. The rest of us aren't so mired up in the superficial that we think race or hair color fundamentally changes a human being on a base level 💀💀

Literally, why is this vocal minority so entitled to think they're so important that the rest of the fandom HAS to bow down and cater to them specifically (whether with the show or with fan art)? If you were to drop being a pjo fan today and disavow the whole franchise, the world would still keep spinning lmao

(Also, before the usual suspects CHOOSE to interpret this in bad faith. That doesn't mean the show is above critique. I probably have a list a mile-long of issues that the show needs to resolve. NONE of them have to do with casting, though ✌🏿)

if my fellow Rachel fans are having a good day

Rachel Elizabeth Dare spent the first fourteen years of her life convinced she was insane.

Rachel Elizabeth Dare most likely spent the first fourteen years of her life isolated from her family.

Rachel was probably the crazy cousin no one talked to.

Rachel was the strange girl who hid in her room around guests.

Rachel only found comfort in painting, and sometimes not even that,

when she painted the scene of a girl with half her face melted off she gave up art for a week.

Rachel had no idea why the strange boy from the hover dam kept appearing in her old paintings but he was there.

For 14 years Rachel thought she was crazy, until Percy told her she wasn’t.

Then she found out no one else who saw through the mist had visions.

The thing that I dislike about Rachel the most is that she is one of those creators that have fame and money but still get mental breakdowns when they see that someone dares to dislike their creation. Like it's so weird that I've already seen several creators like that who have the biggest self esteem issues ever while having super popular and beloved creations and also scream "I'M BEING HARASSED BY HATERS" every time someone critisizes their work. Like omggggg I guess popularity and money won't cure someone's saltyness

yeah it's wild and severely disappointing because Rachel isn't even the only creator who exhibits this type of behavior, I know snailords has also been really creepy/weird/obnoxious/etc. with their behavior and how they weaponize their fanbase and constantly grovel for people's attention/sympathy.

I'm gonna go off a little bit here but bear with me. I'm not trying to dogpile on Rachel but as a creator, she reeks of Creepshow energy where she's constantly acting like an edgelord who "doesn't care" but then still obviously internalizes everything that's said about her work and acts like a petulant child in her responses to criticism. She couldn't even handle something as routine as losing a Goodreads popularity contest with grace lmao (for volume 2 no less, like she won the Goodreads award for Volume 1 but most trad publishers know that unless you're a multi-million-dollar franchise like Harry Potter, it gets harder and harder to win awards for later installments on their own merit because it's not as easy to just pick up and read without the context from previous installments).

(and yes, people called her out for her saltiness in the tweet, it wasn't just me seeing it LMAO)

I don't know Rachel's life, I don't know her circumstances, but I do know that positive attention has limited returns, especially depending on how you approach it from your own perspective. I don't wanna say she should be "grateful" for what she has because, like I just said, positive attention has limited returns and just because you have loads of money and fame doesn't mean you'll feel any more fulfilled in life. But the fact that she clearly latches onto and seeks out negativity as its own form of attention is what's making it unhealthy and the more she does it, the more people are gonna call her out on it and further enforce that negative feedback loop. She really seems addicted to the drama so she can further victimize herself and get comfort and adoration from her fans; it's the same kind of shit a lot of other creators on the platform do and I'm tired of it.

But that's a problem that's beyond Rachel. I've been a creator in the webcomic/webtoon scene for over a decade now and you see these types everywhere, people who are constantly weaponizing their misery and vocally beating themselves up in the hopes of others coming to their "rescue". Maybe it has to do with webtoons being a very accessible format for teenagers, maybe it has to do with many artists often being problematic underneath their art and using their webcomics and communities for therapy (instead of going to, y'know, actual therapy), I don't know. I've been finding it's becoming especially worse and even more encouraged in recent years but I suppose we can owe that to the pandemic and everyone looking for a 'side hustle' (and platforms like Webtoons marketing themselves as some kind of sustainable form of revenue... it's not LMAO)

Either way, there are a lot of emotionally immature people with massive fragile egos in this medium and now that it's becoming an actual industry with money and professional connections and TV deals and the like, it's making it painfully obvious real fast who's a real professional who gets shit done and who's been using webcomics as an unhealthy outlet for attention and gratification from external sources. I feel like this is what it felt like when Youtube first started becoming a profitable industry - everyone thinks it's a get rich quick scheme and everyone thinks it's as simple as just 'knowing how to draw'. For a lot of these creators, making a webcomic as a full time job was never the goal, it was just something that happened to them and they never learned how to be professional or how to operate as a 'popular' creator with actual expectations and typical bullshit like fandom wars. They saw the money and signed the dotted line.
