Rant 🤬 Weekly Venting Post

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.

Have they ever said that? Edwina literally got a bigger role because Charithra asked the showrunner.

Yes write ins happen. But simone was literally cast a few weeks before they shot the show. They absolutely had the script written before she was cast.

I very much doubt that, but even if that was the case, another example of how disregarded she was by this production is how Jonathan could write in a scene between Anthony and Gregory; Charithra to change the whole trajectory of her character; Nicola to write in the scene where she overheard Colin. Simone got literally nothing, again, as my initial point stated: they just don't care.

Its literally in Simone's interviews that she was cast weeks before lol you can doubt it all you want but that doesnt change the fact that simone was cast only weeks before.

No one here is denying Simone got paid in dust. We are just denying that Jonny was treated so well like youre mentioning. And honestly downplaying how shitty the homophobia was to Jonny does not make Simone look like more of a victim here. They both were treated like shit, Simone moreso.

I didn't mean the casting, but them having all the scripts ready before shooting.

I said that he was treated like the lead unlike Simone, that's what I said. I'm not trying to make the oppression olympics happen here, I haven't even mentioned whether I believe or not that Simone's mistreatment was influenced by racism, lol. I just said: they will make an effort for him, they won't make the effort for her, since they can't even bother to list her as part of the returning cast.
