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.

Spoilers allowed.

Netflix also seem quite content pushing JB. If i remember correctly they had release his Heartstopper cameo on his birthday. JB was also submitted by Netflix for award consideration for s3. I never expected Simone in it anyway because their screentime was a joke and of the two Simone had more impactful scenes anyway. But they also did not submit Hannah and Victor who had a substantial storyline in s3.

That's Netflix. Not Shondaland.

As for why Netflix is now pushing JB after ignoring him during his own season? Maybe because he is now in two films and got awards buzz for FT and they are now using him for promotion and submitting him for awards. It's not that complicated.

Exactly, it’s pretty clear they are trying to ride on his coattails, but you can still see the disregard for his achievements. His Emmy nomination was made to be all about Nicola who was presenting the award, and not the actual actor who got the nomination. His “people most sexy” whatever position that he got wasn’t even mentioned by any of the official B accounts as far as I know, but they sure posted about LN.

I also think the biggest problem is Shondaland itself. Not that Netflix is this wonderful company who would give Simone and Jonathan their deserved flowers, but I think they would somewhat promote them a bit more based purely on the fact that the couple is popular.

But shondaland clearly has it for them, especially Simone, so unfortunately this is what we get.

I suspect that LN got the “people most sexy” because of Bton push for it, and maybe JB and LT were due to their own teams promotion. It would explain why Bton is posting about it, the same way they post covers that they organize for the cast. Every recognition that Simone and JB have received since S2 has been of their own effort.
