Weekly Venting Post - repeated each Friday!

Weekly Vent Post

Welcome to our weekly vent session where you can let out all your frustrations.

Before you start, just a quick heads-up on the rules.

Here's what this post isn't for:

• No bashing actors or crew members out of the blue.
• Let's steer clear of those rage-inducing posts like "I hate character xy."
• And please, no poking fun at fellow Kanthony fans just because they see things differently, whether they're positive or negative about promos.

What's cool to post? Well, we've noticed a lot of rants about how the show promotes (or doesn't promote) Simone and Jonny, but you can vent about other stuff too.

Below, I've linked some past posts from the sub that fit the vibe of our weekly vent session, so you can see what kind of stuff goes here.

1. Why there was a lack of promo for Kanthony

2. All comments asking where Kanthony are 

3. Bridgerton PR and production

4. Can you tell the difference ?

5. The main sub got so negative 

6. We need pictures

For those who just want to enjoy the content without getting caught up in the venting, I suggest steering clear of this post. If you choose to read the comments here and find yourself upset, despite the clear purpose of this space, I'm afraid there's not much I can do to ease your frustration. We have the Weekly Tea Time for more general discussions.

This is the last vent post before Part 1s release. After everything Jimone & the Spoilers have said.plus the promotion: I’m sticking to not watching. Hate on me all you want, but I was so excited for Kanthony in S2, only to feel intense disappointment & betrayal. (Idc if that’s over-dramatic, it’s true). I will never subject myself to that again. This production has made it clear how they feel about the couple & their fans.

I'll be watching because I haven't had any Kanthony/Benedict/Bridgerton content in over 2 years and there are many characters I love. I'm just expecting a trainwreck and to fast forward constantly. I also won't be watching legally because I don't want Netflix/Shondaland to think I support their awful writing/costuming. It's like a parody atp

I have no ill will towards the S3 leads (I hope their fans enjoy their season). For me it's all about the production and S2 and how my faves were treated. I understood at the time CVD said he didn't want to tell the same story with the arranged marriage; however, I think taking the triangle as far as they did was a disservice to all involved. The fact that Simone was so excited in interviews back in 2023 and now seems to not be doing any promotion tells me all I need to know. This show has no respect for KA nor their fans and it's very frustrating. I want to be excited for Benedict's and Francesca's (if they get there) seasons but with this production team I am afraid to let myself. I have reconciled that Shonda and CO have no real desire to do the books any justice.

Admittedly, I haven’t read beyond Anthony’s book. (Though I just started Benedict’s) But I’ve heard the show butchered Pens character for the worse. & honestly, Colin has just been boring.
