did you see what rick said about reyna???? i dont know how to feel anymore he said that making reyna lesbian would perpetuate harmful stereotypes that lesbians are only lesbians cause they cant get the men they want, i am very conflicted about this i wanted her to be queer really badly too
went looking for it after i saw this, but i gotta say it was hard to get through because it was such a pack of regurgitated bullshit that my brain kind of shut off halfway through the comment and i am mmmmm uh really about to lose it right here
first of all, rickald dear, the subtext is blatant and itâs all right there and i could give you an itemized list of reasons why i think reyna is a lesbian and theyâd all be backed up by the text, so if you didnât âintendâ it or canât âseeâ it then you better try harder!!!! because itâs there.
âshe doesnât need someone to complete herâ is so TIRED lmao. i donât need someone to complete me, either. iâm still a lesbian. percy and annabeth shouldnât need each other to âcompleteâ them. hazel and frank donât need anyone to âcompleteâ them, jason and piper shouldnât either, or nico, or will, or motherfucking tyson or ella or grover or leo or calypso! if you are dating someone to complete yourself, your relationship is going to be codependent shit where youâll be demanding unfair things from your partner that you should be able to get from yourself. youâll be jealous, and controlling, and lose whatever identity you had to begin with. relationships are not meant to âcompleteâ us, they are meant to complement us, to challenge us to grow in areas where we need growth while also giving us the support we need to help us get there.
âreyna is reynaâs better halfâ oh fuck you. like seriously, just fuck off. annabeth isnât annabethâs better half? piper isnât piperâs better half? hazel isnât hazelâs better half? i mean fucking hell if your logic is âi canât pair her with anyone because itâs compromising her independenceâ THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE ANY OF YOUR CHARACTERS DATING ANYONE?! RELATIONSHIPS SHOULD NEVER MAKE YOU COMPROMISE WHO YOU ARE!
âlesbians are lesbians because they couldnât find the right manâ welllllllllllllll uuuuuuuuuuuhâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠâŠ.yes, we are. like no lmao that didnât make me a lesbian, but the absolute fucking reality is that lesbians actually literally cannot find the right man, because there isnât one. the stereotype isnât that we are lesbians because we couldnât find the right man, because thatâs true lmao, most of us have gone searching for the right man and finally reached the conclusion that men just donât do it for us, and never will, and so our âmr. rightâ or prince charming or whatever the fuck doesnât exist. the actual stereotype is that âlesbians just havenât met the right guy yetâ as in, this lesbian could still be attracted to you and she doesnât really know who she is and you can just freely invalidate her sexuality because why not lesbianism isnât real and you could be what sheâs been waiting for.
like alskjdf;lak i understand that itâs misogynistic to define lesbians by their lack of attraction for men, but the reality is that we live in a world weâre we are coerced from practically birth to define our lives in terms of men and so if you are literally incapable of conforming to that thought process, if you literally come to the conclusion that you cannot define yourself in terms of men because you are a lesbian, yes, that really is an integral part of your lesbianism.
like, if youâre going to say that giving reyna a gf perpetuates stereotypes, then at least have some kind of understanding of what the fuck youâre talking about lmao.
not to mention how casually, how callously, he dismisses bisexuality as a possibility for reyna. âhaving a girl end up with women after dating men is a bad stereotype.â thatâs what he said. that is what he fucking said. as if youuuuu knowâŠ..real bi girls donât do this? as if real lesbians donât do this. as if itâs a fucking bad and perpetuating stereotypes to write about a real experience that bi girls and lesbians have both lived through? this isnât an anomaly, this is extremely common, our failed relationships with men are something we joke about, something so common that itâs rare to find a lesbian or a bi girl who has never had a fling with a man in any capacity.
