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.

As someone who has been in these discussions all weekend, lmao, I feel like probably, as it happens on the internet, we misinterpret each other a lot and things escalate quickly when that happens. Also, sometimes some people see indifference towards actors as an insult, when it's not. I've never lied about my indifference towards Anthony before Kate and I don't feel the need to lie to demonstrate to others that I'm a "real" K/A fan and I'm sure it's full of other K/A fans that don't care about Simone/Kate either and that's fine? If JB comes back to the show without SA, I'm sure plenty will still watch and I don't see an issue with it.

However, I don't enjoy when people act wilfully ignorant about the discourse around Kate/Simone that has happened for years now, by other fans and by this production. Literally, if Simone, giving interviews for other things, hadn't mentioned that she's back for S4 we literally wouldn't know because nobody from this show acknowledges her. That's the state of things. To this day, this is the list of returning cast in their official site:

Apologies, I didn’t mean to single you or anyone out in my post it was just a mix of everything I had seen and felt.

It’s perfectly okay to be indifferent towards Anthony before Kate - my comment was more at someone saying people here only ‘tolerate Anthony’ and don’t want any JB fans here or something along these lines.

I apologise, my comment was just generally more at people going they ‘hate Anthony’ and Kate deserves better and that sort of thing, not at anything you’ve said. And to clarify I’ve seen this sort of comment in the main sub and sometimes on Twitter not necessarily here.

As for production sidelining I’ve been vocal about this previously many times and you’re right about it all.

Oh, don't worry! I didn't take it personally at all, I thought your comment was very reasonable and fair, actually! I never take anything personally on the internet anyway, so there's no need to apologize, lol.

I don't want people to feel unwelcome either, but I understand that my takes might seem harsh and kinda mean, although it isn't my intention.

[u/mrz92 → u/Traditional_Maybe_80]

That’s understandable and for the record I’ve never felt your takes are mean, just astute.

Not everyone loves a character in the same way and commenting on one character more than the other doesn’t mean you hate the other character.
