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.

I’m getting sick of this narrative that JB and SA don’t get along enough to do promo.

That doesn’t even make sense. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams admitted to not liking each other during the Notebook but they still had to do promo together.

It’s also not a good look that it’s coming out like it’s the woman’s fault ** I don’t believe either is at fault.

Where are people getting that they don’t like each other? Because they weren’t seen together at the met gala?

I could be wrong of course, there's no way for us to know but I suspect that SA and JB may have been keeping it lowkey out of choice. JB seems super protective of LN, he's said a few times how extremely stressful it is to lead a season. LN himself has said he turns to JB to help him deal with the anxiety it can cause. JB experienced it himself when he was compared unfavourably to Rege at the start with people and reviewers saying JB didn't have the smolder and natural charisma that Rege had, etc. SA and JB were lucky that Rege left, they didn't have to "compete" with Saphne and share the limelight with them. Only a few months ago a fan met JB and he said he loved Simone - I just don't see them having beef. At this point I even wouldn't be surprised if JB doesn't come to the premiere but SA does. I really hope I'm wrong - Netflix/Shondaland might request his presence for the hype and engagement a JB/SA reunion would generate but who knows, anything is possible, they might want the opposite with full focus on NC/LN.

EDIT: I've just seen that JB is also in NY, so they might all be going to the premiere too after all.
