Riordan previously described those who did not like the race swapping of Grover Underwood and Annabeth Chase as engaging in demagoguery.
She wrote on Twitter, “A while back you (the fans) and I agreed to make these handles as kid friendly safe places as possible. We give no room to demagoguery.”
“We focus on the positive, We are supportive and uplifting. We encourage fans to not give space to hate speech veiled or blatant. #DoNotTweetHate”

Her rhetoric would quickly become more extreme escalating into calling fans “haters.”
She wrote, “I will also tell you something I know is a fact. Rick’s books open people’s minds. We get letters all the time that tell us this. Our TV show can do the same.”
Riordan added, “Yelling at haters will get us no where. Do not give their hate fires oxygen. #DoNotTweetHate”

Despite claiming that yelling at so-called “haters” would get her nowhere, she then described people who did not like the race swapping as both misogynists and racists.
“Demagoguery is a good word to know. Do we need to have a talk about the intersectionality of misogyny and racism? Misogyny is equally a problem here. We condemn both,” she tweeted.
“Getting yelled at? Annabeth doesn’t belong to you. She never did. Leave Leah alone,” Riordan added.

She made it explicit in a follow-up tweet where she stated, “Most of the haters don’t know they are misogynistic and or racist so you won’t be able to convince them that they are wrong.”
Riordan continued, “The one thing you can do? Many of you are already doing it! SING Leah’s praises. Shout your approval of Leah worldwide! Create art in her honor. Celebrate!”

She then shared another photo with a sign that reads “Abortion rights are trans + BIPIC rights.” There are also a number of posters of women with bullseyes over their stomachs and arrows striking them.

Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, made it abundantly clear that abortion is murder in an interview about the subject in September 2021.
The Pope declared, “The second problem, that of abortion: it’s more than a problem, it’s homicide, whoever has an abortion, kills. No mincing words.”
He continued, “Take any book on embryology for medical students. The third week after conception, all the organs are already there, even the DNA… it is a human life, this human life must be respected, this principle is so clear!”

The Pope then posited a question for people like Becky Riordan, “To those who cannot understand, I would ask this question: Is it right to kill a human life to solve a problem? Is it right to hire a hitman to kill a human life? Scientifically, it is a human life. Is it right to take it out to solve a problem?”
He then detailed, “That is why the Church is so harsh on this issue, because if it accepts this, it is as if it accepts daily murder.”
“A Head of State told me that the demographic decline began because in those years there was such a strong law on abortion that six million abortions were performed and this left a decline in births in the society of that country,” Pope Francis said.
