hmmm i just saw some Bad Fandom Content
#was looking at pjo content bc i was Thinking about nico again lol
#stumbled upon some s0langelo content and decided to look at some fics
#and WOW a lot of this stuff is just blatantly fucking ableist
#when i was active in the pjo fandom i generally didn’t read other people’s fics
#and while i knew there were elements of ableism in the books i thought the fans would do it Less
#but. VERY much not so
#it’s incredibly ableist to pair off your disabled character with a healer/doctor
#a healer/doctor who isn’t even nice to said disabled character and ignores his boundaries
#and who abuses his position of authority as a healer/doctor to bend the rules in really unpleasant ways
#literally so many s0langelo fics are just savior fantasies and it’s really gross
#i noticed these elements in the books but it never clicked how gross they are
#and the fandom takes it extra far by majorly infantilizing nico
#which is uhhhhh. idk if i even need to say it but that’s a really bad thing to do to a disabled character
#(the fandom also ignores the fact that nico canonically has chronic fatigue and probably chronic pain as well)
#(idc if rr hasn’t made it explicitly canon nico regularly passes out or needs to rest after using his powers at all)
#it’s such a weird bad ship and most people handle it poorly
#and yet it’s like the second most popular ship. hate it here
#listen i used to like it! it could be cute! but rr and the majority of fans make it creepy and weird and ableist
#it makes me so so annoyed that will demanding that nico do certain things and trying to exert power over him through ‘doctors orders’
#yeah yeah let’s just have this very disabled character have his medical agency taken from him by his doctor bf
#that’s fine and not something that happens irl constantly
#anyway it made me upset
#generally the way the books and the fandom treat nico makes me sad.
#im gonna take him and put him on the top shelf.
#dove talks
#yes im talking about pjo in 2023. sorry
