Aside from Jason, if we go back to the topic;

There are very much valid and factual reasons and points that said by the people about Piper's characterization and character-writing.

The issue is in one of the cases, for example; not Piper's carrying Aphrodite aspects in her characterization; but the issue is Riordan's saying that she doesn't carry those aspects at all, and his dismissing the things which Piper obviously shown in her character, and portrayal through her actions and mindset. I wouldn't have a problem with Piper's these aspects at all, if Riordan wrote those aspects and elements in her characterization really and actually without having to dismiss them and saying otherwise in the text, which, also writing and including several Double Standards, hypocritical writings and problematic elements in this character's portray he writes.

In addition, when other elements such all the inconsistent and badly handled talks and portrays, the glossing overs and dismissing of a characters's actions and thinking; writing as Piper is so different from Aphrodite girls, and she is not like other girls take a stage and a place; you know that is not a nice writing and characterization. Especially, when these getting played for the cheap characterization at its finest too, and getting portrayed for blind treatment, and several down-playing over and over again without a real realization. With Riordan's putting other problematic elements and dismissings without having a capability of the writing consistent and valid portray for her and handling the issues in the said character, and not capable of writing the said character's issues in a good way, it's not so hard to realize that the said character is not a well-crafter character and a nicely written character at all.
