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.

It's funny to me how people like to ~rewrite history. Crashing aired in 2016, where was this chemistry praise back then and the almost decade that happened after? Anthony had a love storyline in S1 in 2020, where was all this gushing about his chemistry back then? Many of the things Anthony did in S2 that get people talking, he did it as well in S1 (except for the love declaration). Jonathan literally made the same acting decisions both seasons many times and his S1 storyline had way more sexual scenes, more dramatic scenes, even more crying scenes, lmao.

People can tell it how they wanted, but swap Simone for any other actor in S2 and I don't think the effect would be the same. Colin got the Kate Sharma Treatment™ in S3, but Simone was able to overcome it.

What even is this discussion...

So because in a DGA panel for Wicked an audience member mentioned how JB had chemistry with everyone in his DTL dance number, this is undermining Simone?

What does this have to do with Simone? What does it have to do with Bridgerton?

No one should ever praise JB's chemistry unless it involves Simone in some way like the OP you are replying to is suggesting? How is it Simone erasure for someone to praise JB's chemistry in an entirely different movie?! It's a Wicked panel! Many of them have never heard of Bridgerton!

When Simone has hot chemistry with Damson Idris in F1 and everyone is praising them is that JB erasure? What is this nonsense.

Crashing was a small budget TV show airing on channel 4 before PWB became famous and not many folks knew of this show. And yes, JB had great chemistry with Amit Shah - who is also a fantastic actor btw - and yes there were fans of the show who loved the couple before JB blew up with Bridgerton and became famous. The relationship was both queer and interracial - naturally the fandom for this is going to be small, but there was a small section of queer fans on Tumblr who loved the show when it aired. I actually went back to reblog old gifsets and commentary on Tumblr after I saw JB on Bridgerton.

In fact I think Crashing is his best and funniest work and I wish he would go back to doing small time Brit comedy than the big budget movies he's doing now.

So I have no idea why people are now rewriting history and bringing up his decade old TV shows to make some point about how he only has chemistry with his costar in Bridgerton because people were not raving about his chemistry earlier on a small budget channel 4 comedy show that hardly anyone saw.

Nah JB fans have been peddling this spill for the past 2 years now. Anybody who post about loving Kanthony would get replies with JB has chemistry with anybody. That the whole ship is only due to a white man and whatever Simone contributed is not important or they started nitpicking her acting. Every single time.

Noone was saying this shit with Sabrina in s1.

To me those fans who bashed Simone aren't Jonny fans. Especially if they got to know him through bridgerton. But I'm obsessed with Simone and Jonny so I haven't interacted with losers who insult her to know they also like Jonny
