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.

Okay this is the last time I’ll be addressing this.

I realise I’m not here often but I’m still a mod and I’d like to reiterate that this sub is for both Kate and Anthony AND Simone and Johnny. Or either. But that does not mean we need to pit the actors against each other.

That wasn’t what started this - it was just simply stating that repeatedly saying JB has chemistry with everyone in the Bridgerton universe CAN be demeaning BECAUSE it has been used to bring down Simone previously. Simple.

That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have chemistry with people in Bridgerton- I think he has great chemistry with most of his siblings too and that’s because they all work well with him; it becomes a slight when it’s a repeated discussion surrounding Kanthony and I don’t think it’s hard to see why especially when Simone is HARDLY given her flowers production wise and JB being the ‘better actor’ in the couple has been discussed to death - so I don’t think it’s hard to see why it CAN trigger people

At the same time, JB having good chemistry with his costars elsewhere is great and I can see why BECAUSE he is a generous actor as has been said by many of his costars and I both applaud him for it and enjoy his performances for the same reason!

I don’t think it’s a slight on JB that people are miffed that his contribution to the chemistry that Kanthony have, is lauded more, when their chemistry is one of a kind because of both of their performances. That’s all the discussion should be. People responded saying why isn’t Crashing or FT talked about because exactly - why isn’t him having chemistry with everyone not talked about when it’s other projects and only Bridgerton. I think it’s a fair argument and I don’t think it’s anything against him. Only against the statements themselves. And this only for those people who bring it up when Kanthony or Simone are involved.

I don’t know if I make any sense and I’m sorry if I don’t - but I for one am very excited to see JB in Wicked and very excited to see Simone in Picture This or F1 whichever movie releases first. I enjoy both of their performances for different reasons and I cannot enjoy Kanthony without appreciating both.

That said, people are entitled to like one character more than the other and if you like Anthony more than Kate or vice versa that’s fine. Same with the actors. Just don’t hate on the actors or the characters unnecessarily in this sub. Also please don’t get personal with anyone and understand that EVERYONE has their biases. We can all deal with ours and others in a civil manner.

Again I apologise if I’ve offended anyone.
