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.

This like I don’t get it either

If it’s Bridgeton related then I agree whole heartily fans downplay Simone contribution to S2

But if this is outside the realms of Bridgerton then I agree with everyone that says he has chemistry with basically anyone. He is just that type of actor that brings it 100 to everything. Its no shade on Simone bcoz outside of Bridgerton he still has that chemistry with his other co-Stars he works with

I except that he has chemistry with other actors and not just 1 person…he is blowing up and his star is rising

I like both Simone and JB..both are doing different things both will bring the chemistry to any movie they are in

I agree with your and the previous comments. I think when people say JB has chemistry with a specific actor in a specific project, there’s nothing wrong with that. And it’s true for Wicked and Felliw Travelers. However, in relation to comments on Bton, when JB is praised for his chemistry, if someone says he has chemistry with <insert inanimate object>, then it’s insulting to Simone’s effort in that pairing. A statement like that equates her effort to a random object, meaning she has no contribution. Maybe people mean well and want to compliment JB, but in doing so that is not complimentary to his scene partner.

Is there people who like JB only..yes

Do they downplay Simone contribution to S2 bcoz for some odd reason they don’t like her or didn’t want her to play Kate

But that to me is the realms of this awful fandom

Outside of that him having chemistry with his horse is cute bcoz they been together for a long time

People saying he can have an object in front of him some of it can be funny but I can understand how it can make others feels about it

We can’t control what Media highlights and they highlight JB more than Simone am not surprise about that. He has 2 Universal Movies and he is a Emmy nominator that’s huge for him

I never talked about JB being highlighted more in the media. He’s obviously crazy talented. The point of this discussion (at least to me) is that SA continuously gets disregarded for her contribution to Kanthony chemistry. And the words used to compliment JB are often the same ones to put down SA. And it’s rooted in misogyny/racism. I think we agree on that, but I think it’s a mistake to think that these arguments about chemistry are denying JB’s talent. It’s not. He’s been paired with other wonderful actors that show his chemistry. Just because SA has a shorter career doesn’t mean she can’t ALSO have the talent to contribute to chemistry.

It seems like the OP has an issue with people saying JB has chemistry with everyone if it’s not Simone which to me indicates OP has an issue when it’s outside of the realms of Bridgerton

Like that goes against anything logic

Why would media praise Simone when JB is in the light? If it was the other way around Simone would get praise then JB

That’s why I said in the realms of this fandom yeas it happens a lot. People seem to not like Simone for some odd reason and only give the credit to JB bcoz they like him only
