Misinformation in the fandom

Yes I'm reposting this.

I need to get this off my chest because I've noticed this pattern in the fandom.The people that go on YouTube, Reddit and Tumblr to talk about how Calypso was cursed to fall in love with anyone who stepped on her island when that was Riordan's iteration of the Odyssey are the same people that swear that Jorge claimed that Calypso never raped Odysseus.I want to get this out of the way and say I couldn't find anything to prove that Jorge has said that.

I have looked on his IG, looked for receipts on Reddit and Tumblr, looked at his livestreams, everywhere I could think off I looked at and I found nothing so there's a huge chance that he didn't say it at all and it spread the same way the thing about Calypso did until it became this thing.So there's no evidence of him saying this (that I could find anyway).

First things first:If you pay attention to Not Sorry for Loving You (especially the language used in the song) Calypso expresses how she's not sorry for loving Odysseus, but how things are phrased on the song very much depicts subtle forms of manipulation.And is the subtly in the writing that is telling.

Firstly, how she starts out by saying that "if I pushed you, or ambushed you, for that I'll say I was wrong"To "I'm sorry if my love is too much for you"She's making her "apology" about her. When Odysseus tries to let himself be heard, she literally stops him and doesn't acknowledge him, making it about her again.

She still doesn't grasp completely that what she's feeling isn't love, she's still not taking real accountability, she's still posing this scenario as something hypothetical, not something that is real and that she's done to him.Even in Love in Paradise, the "soon into bed we'll climb" seems to imply that something he didn't want to happen did happen.

To Calypso and perhaps even Odysseus she's developmentally a child and while that doesn't dispute what she did and doesn't make it better, it just adds more nuance to her character. It gives us insight into Calypso while still making her come off as manipulative and ruthless (even if she's not aware of the fact).

That's the thing about abusers, that's how they behave (especially those who swear they aren't being abusive).Yes Calypso doesn't have the emotional tools to understand what she did is wrong, she's not like Circe, but that doesn't justify what she did and at no point is made clear she didn't sexualy assault him.

Now onto the next thing:

Should have Jorge made it clear whether or not she did rape Odysseus? I can't say for sure and you know why?Because Jorge said the song was written during a difficult moment of his life, and if for some reason he didn't feel comfortable saying what happened I have to respect that too. Whatever made him write it, we're not owned an explanation of. There. I said it.You're not entitled someone else's feelings or their stories or whatever else. Not every artists is going to take you by the hand and explain to you why their lyrics are like that and that's fine.

With that in mind, we need to be mindful of Jorge himself as a person as well.I say this because I've seen way too many people crossing the line, saying things when they don't know what they're saying (clearly based on the fact I can't even find any proof of Jay saying Calypso didn't rape Odysseus and boy did I try to find it) and it genuinely makes me worry because Jorge is a whole ass human being who clearly wrote the song like that for a reason so maybe y'all should think about that.I understand that representation of male victims of SA is important and I agree wholeheartedly, but it seems that this issue comes from people spreading something that doesn't seem to be true.If anything, I think Jorge may have realized that leaving implied is what caused this discussion and that's why he used the word rape in Odysseus, to shut it down.And yet, I have seen way too many people assuming he did say Calypso didn't rape Odysseus and spiraling because of it when again, I have been looking for proof of that for near a month and found nothing.This is just me begging you guys to engage with social media with some critical thinking. You can't just blindly believe everything you read online.

The lack of research has plagued most of everything online, but it costs nothing foe you guys to make sure you're not spreading something you don't know if it's true or not.
