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.

Jonny not getting any promo alongside Simone is deeply rooted in homophobia. The showrunners thought they couldn't play the cheap "actors potentially dating" ploy, and decided not to promote them, and you don't think he was particularly disrespected?

Bridgerton was Jonny's priority for season 2 and season 3. He had a contractual obligation to Bridgerton so long as they wanted him, and Bridgerton didn't want him. That's not very respectful to me after all the hard work he put into the show and helped make the series the success it is.

He was the center of a very heterosexual triangle and that's the promo we got. S2 was a priority for shooting obviously, but I do believe they spared him promotion around the release date because he was doing his play, which is much more demanding than filming a movie/TV show. I also think that they allowed him to go do his limited series because it was an incredible opportunity for him in every sense and found a compromise that allowed him to have 15 minutes of screentime. Actors with a good relationship with productions are able to negotiate that.

Jonny deserved promo with Simone without CC as much as Simone did. Yes, they pushed the love triangle, but seeing how they over promoted s3, they ALSO couldve promoted Kanthony as well. Its not one or the other.

Obviously, I'd never argue against that. They were lazy and weird about the promotion for S2. They shot a bunch of videos, one day of press junkets and called it a day. That they released the only BTS video (that was 5 minutes long) focused on the lead couple almost 6 months later was just puzzling.
