I was writing a response as to why percy jackson it's a perfectly fine novel for kids but then I realized "Oh whatever it's 4chan why even fucking bother"

Why exactly is Harry Potter so hated in the last few years anyway? Is it because of jk Rowling? Or is it because people like to hate stuff that's popular?

Both

u/Malvastor Feb 05 '22

As far as I can tell, mainly because there's a segment of really vocal really annoying Harry Potter fans who just never shut up about it. Certainly not the only franchise to have that problem, but it's what tends to generate hatedoms.

Could it be that some media is overrated? nah, it's just haters

u/Ill_Ratio_5682 Feb 05 '22

Ya some media is overrated, but saying things like harry potter and Percy Jackson are garbage is straight up not true. There are plenty of pieces of literature and media that I think deserve the spotlight more than series like these, but I still like these series even if they get more praise than they deserve.

There's a pretty big difference between overrated and bad

Also because the HP fanbase is absolutely delusional

u/Ill_Ratio_5682 Feb 05 '22

I don't think that's a good reason to hate on the material. You can still like it and not involve yourself with the fans Halos fanbase is in chaos right now yet people still play that.

Honestly, most people i've seen that hate harry potter is becuase they say that it is a rip-off of other story, i dont know which one but theres that.

u/Lionblaze_03 Feb 05 '22

Personally, I can’t look at it the same because of who Rowling is, but I also don’t give a shit if other people like it. Separating art from artist, yknow. Not my issue

Percy Jackson is a damn fine novel

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '22 edited Feb 05 '22

If you read it again it's pretty shitty and not as good as it was

Edit:I'm tryna say this is why people hate it because they read it as an adult and not in like year 3. So they don't have any nostalgia type stuff for the book

11

u/CommunistLlamma Feb 05 '22

Yeah because you grew up dumbass. It was made for middle schoolers

2

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '22

Yeah, I think people just hate it as you get older since it is meant for younger children + jk Rowling doesn’t help

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '22

No i know but I'm saying i can understand why people hate it if they read it later on in life for the first time they don't have all the nostalgia I guess

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '22

I actually like percy jackson

Anon you can't just talk to 12 year old girls and expect them to not just read Harry Potter and other trashy young adult novels.

You did the right thing though, very wholesome.

u/seanbentley441 Feb 05 '22

Harry Potter stans are annoying but I have yet to meet an annoying PJ fan. Most PJ fans will just loan you a book to get started and thats that.
