People on the internet are being racist and awful to children once again because the casting of a TV show doesn’t fit their fanon. This time the Percy Jackson fandom is responsible for the drama, attacking the just-announced cast for the new TV adaptation because *shock horror* some of the actors aren’t white like in the books.
If you haven’t read the Percy Jackson and the Olympians books, the three main characters of the first book (AKA the series’ golden trio) are Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood. The trio’s casting was recently announced for Disney’s upcoming adaption of the series and while normal fans were excited, some were not. Specifically with the casting choice for Annabeth, the series’ ultimate bad-bitch and Percy’s bestie-slash-love-interest-no-spoilers.
