one of several moments in the series where percy is like "she would have been pretty but--" lol. sorry but who asked bro

#not sure where the “percy is a woke male feminist” stuff comes from honestly....... are you sure. I think he has some growing to do#you can do whatever you want to justify this but this is just straight up headassery. it's the freaking sphinx.#why are you even evaluating how pretty it is let alone thinking “she's wearing too much makeup”#and yeah this is rick's own bias shining through but let's be honest. is it absurd for a teenage boy to have a thought like this#and then he's fatphobic towards leneus in tlo </3 </3 percy you have to do some self-reflection#I shouldn't have to say this but I absolutely love percy he's one of the characters I write and post about the most#REAL percy fans can acknowledge that he's not perfect 🫵#and one shouldn't have to deny the existence of a character's negative traits in order to justify liking them#controversial but I wouldn't term most pjo characters feminists including most of the girls/women#partially because they're kids with limited worldviews + I wouldn't expect children to have well-thought out opinions on the subject anyway#and partially because /being/ a feminist isn't just having the safe and uncomplicated opinion “men and women are equal”#it's how you act it's how you think it's how you treat women it's how willing you are to actively be anti-misogyny etc etc etc#pjo fandom is highly misogynistic itself tho so I'm not putting this in any tags <3#baye.txt#pjo#percy jackson crit#<- out of necessity
