The main thing that I want to point out is that if you’re annoyed at people finding comfort in the idea that Percy could be bi, you’re homophobic. However, since I’m writing this, it’s clear that people are having trouble respecting this head canon. But you have to remember that he doesn’t have a canon sexuality. In return, I hope that you can respect our head canon that he’s bi.
Once again, I can respect someone’s head canon that Percy is straight.
Trying to say that this is the same level as having a head canon that Percy isn’t straight is the same is incredibly insensitive. That’s why we would “have a fit.” Because it hurts to see that when many of us have had that same hate thrown at ourselves for being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. This argument is problematic (read: homophobic) because LGBTQIA+ have been hated on for not being cishet since forever and it keeps happening. Nico has also expressed that he’s not attracted to women (his distaste to the idea that people thought he liked Annabeth). For one thing, Nico’s sexuality has been very specifically stated and canonized that he’s gay, both in the story and by Rick himself (an easy example is the popular “honey he gay” meme that Rick made on his Twitter).
They had said that if someone argued that Nico was straight or bi we would “have a fit.” Which is true but for different reasons. As a counter argument, Percy’s sexuality was compared to Nico being gay which a different situation.
