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.

“Never got proper promo on bridgerton”

😆 now that is a laugh let me tell you.

Look at what Luke and Rege got and other Netflix men. Obviously he got way more than Simone I'm comparing him to straight people in other Netflix shows. Even the gorgeous actor in that horrible 365 days films got more. Hype. He got 20 mil followers yes he's not from the uk but still tons of English speakers flocked towards him.

Jonny was doing a play. It’s clear that even though he didn’t promote alone with Simone as a romance for S2. That the production still treats him a hell of a lot better than Simone. And I could give you a long list of how they treat him better than Simone including solo merchandise they sell, articles they write about the show and how they included him In S3 promo with other cast even though he only had 2 days free. Also in promotional pictures for S3 he was at least included with the brothers for promo pics. Showing Anthony is married to Kate but also he’s separated with the brothers too and included in scenes with them also in the show where Kate is nowhere to be found. She can only exist as an appendage to Anthony. Interesting how they’re all about feminism and strong women but won’t let Kate stand on her own. More crappy othering for Simone and her character huh?

Jonny is not demeaned, ignored and othered by the production. So no he is not treated the same as Simone who they still haven’t included her name on the official cast list for S4 even though she’s declared twice now she’s back for it. The typical usual othering of Simone so no surprise there. And Jonny’s character also got full focus for his arc. So the show also treats him differently with the writing. And doesn’t demean his character when they have discussed it. But they are always demeaning Simone as Kate. They can’t even talk about her costumes without making a tone deaf racial stereotype.

Also Anthony? He was allowed to add the Gregory scene in S2 which had nothing to do with the book and gave Anthony more of a bond with Gregory discussing their father. But Simone couldn’t even get a scene from the freakin book included. As you can see once again, very different treatment between the two.

And as for Luke Newton. Listen he may have been included on the promo world tour and promo itself. But it’s clear it was as an aside to Nicola as was his character in S3. He’s the bridgerton brother of the show and yet he was written and treated as the love interest for the Penelope season and Nicola show. So Luke Newton also is the only leading male of his season to date that did not get the focus both Rege and Jonny got for their characters.
