From that Andromeda re-telling, you know which one.

Chat, why are we acting like the sea is nothing but a destructive force? Why are we acting like Poseidon's rule could be based on nothing but fear? Why we acting like river gods and sea gods would be against each other? WHAT THE FUCK?!

Rivers that connect to the sea are super important to the ecosystems, is literally the perfect conditions for estuaries!! Estuaries help with storms and tsunamis, and have some of the highest diversities ever recorded. River-Sea transition zones are also the most important ones when it comes to nurseries for young fish and invertebrates. THE CONNECTION OF INLAND AND SEA WATERS IS IMPORTANT TOO.

THIS IS STUPID, WHY ARE WE MAKING THEM ENEMIES?! IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. AND WHY IS POSEIDON PAINTED AS THE BAD ONE?! WHAT DID MY GOAT DID?! WHY ARE WE PLACING MORALS ON THE LITERAL FUCKING SEA?!

Ok that part of the critique is just the biologist in my veins. I hate when people over-humanize aspects of nature and don't even do it in a way that feels natural or that reflects the true state of the enviorment. It'll make more sense that nereids and naiads are friends from a biological standpoint, but whatever.

Anyways here's more info i found for the biology nerds:

Anyways

This ain't my goat. Who is this mf faker?

"The great sea god must be called to defend your vanity?"

What Real Poseidon would have said: "Fuck you, i defend her vanity out of my own volition because she is pretty and i love her. Prepare to fucking die"

And then he would send a flood, happy ending.

Sadly, this shit show keeps going:

Sarah is right, if Poseidon really wanted Andromeda he would just kidnap her (like most gods do when they get the hots).

He would have done a similar thing to what Zeus did with Europa most likely.

Except he didn't, because he did not care about Andromeda. He couldn't care less.

Poseidon would never shush Amphitrite like a dog because he values his life and his balls. She's the only one that knows how to handle his horses that's literally the main thing in her lore c'mon

Here is Lucian's dialog again:

See how he listens to her? See how he very gently tells her why they can't do what she wants instead of just shushing her? SEE HOW HE CALLS HER "Dear"?!

I've noticed over the last couple of days that outsiders, and of course the media for clickbait, are playing up the age difference between Ella and Belmont. Trying to infantalize Ella because it takes her agency away. She is an actress. She was fully aware what the story entailed. There was an intimacy coordinator on set for the more steamy scenes. She also considers Belmont a dear friend. She is not some child that needs to be protected.

I wonder if the real reason the haters are trying to downplay OC is because it enthusiastically celebrates consent and trust. It also deals with SA, DV, and toxic masculinity within a safe realm of romance. You know there's a happy ending so they can touch on topics like this.

It is the same thing that happened with Heated Rivalry. People dismissing it as p*rn so other people won't watch it. They won't have to look at the story because it is LGBTQ. We've seen plenty of smut on hetero shows. Why does LGBTQ make it any different? It doesn't. As Omni said HR (just like OC ) celebrates the good, the bad, and the steamy parts of love. They don't shy away from any part of it. HR also deals with consent, coming out, and the toxic masculinity of sports. It does with all of this within the safe environment of romance so it is joy instead of tragedy.

I commented that this is advocating for violence, many people with common sense agreed. I’ve then received this comment :
