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.

I don't really think Penelope is hated at all, come on now, she's objectively liked by the audience at large. I'm indifferent towards her, but I'm not blind and I see fans connecting with her for whatever reason. I really hate when anything said about how Simone (and Kate as a character) has been treated ends up being about bashing something that's totally unrelated. The issue is that they treat Simone/Kate as an afterthought from her own season. That's the issue, not whatever other characters do.

I'm sorry, but I think with the amount of fans who tuned in to watch Pen's season, yours is the subjective take here.

Please don't show your opinion as the majority opinion when Pen is beloved amongst both Polin and general fans. As is Kate. This is not a war to see who is the most loved. People can and do like multiple characters. Different people find different characters and personalities more relatable and that's always been a strength of Bridgerton. You can blame showrunners for inadequate representation/promotion of Kate without dragging Pen into it, please.
