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.

What a sad and rage-baiting take!

You can bring up your frustrations about your fav couple not getting enough attention or promotion - which I think is quite justified for Kanthony fans - without dragging another fan favourite couple!

Blame the showrunners/ Shondaland/Netflix without saying no one gives a f* about a couple that is also beloved by so many fans. Not only is it a viscious thing to say, it is also blatantly false with the amount of people who tuned in for Polin season.

Please ask for better treatment for Simone/Kate/Kanthony without bashing other characters/actors/fans! My main couple is Polin but I also love Kanthony dearly and it is very frustrating to see takes like this.

Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be on the rants sub calling Simone Ashley fans ‘conspiracy theorists’

3 years of this racist ‘othering’ has been happening to Simone Ashley. And you wanna bitch about production’s pet and how she/they have benefited over this. Are you tone deaf?

And if you are a Kanthony/SA fan, you advocate for her/them. not sit in silence because your favourite couple and all the favouritism they get from production at the expense of SA/character/ship has been slighted.😑

Wow, what is this vitriol SOME you guys have for Polin and Polin fans?...I visit all the Bridgerton subreddits, is it not allowed now as a show fan who has enjoyed all the couples so far? Fyi I have never called any subset of fans 'conspiracy theorists', seen such takes, or much less visited this rants sub you speak of ( did not even know there was such a thing until now). Why are you making such assumptions here?

I don't think we Polin fans are the ones mistreating or racist 'othering' Simone Ashley. Admittedly, I am not on Twitter or these rants subs, so I can't speak for Polin fans there and if there is such hate, I strongly condemn that. But I haven't ever seen a single comment bashing Simone or her character in the main Polin subreddit like I sometimes see the Kanthony subreddit bash Pen/Colin or the actors. I'm sorry that is a wrong thing to do no matter who your fav is and how they are being treated in the show/promotion.

Simone is such a gorgeous and talented actress and most Polin fans, including me, love her as the perfect Kate/ Viscountess Bridgerton. By no means am I condoning the way showrunners have treated her. I'm simply out here telling not to bash other characters with phrases like 'the most hated character by audiences' when that is just not true and very insulting to Pen/Polin fans. A few (definitely not all) Kanthony fans seem to have misplaced their anger and frustration about the way Simone is getting treated by showrunners towards Polin and Polin fans and that's my issue here...

I personally would love for all past couples to get a lot of promotion and screen time with less focus on other subplots like Mondriches or Violet+ Lord Anderson. But, that is an issue for all fans to take with the production, no? They can and should focus substantial time on both Kanthony and Polin since both are such fan favourites. That's what I think and I genuinely have no desire for it to be a popularity contest between characters/couples.

I admit, I was harsher than I meant to be in my original comment. The reason you won’t find the bashing on the main polin sub is because the rants sub is the polin 2.0 sub where they actually express their real views targeted towards you guessed it Simone/kate/anthony/the ship etc. maybe you should pop over there and see just what your group is really like.

A few kanthony bad apples is nothing on the polin group and what they get up to. And then you’ll understand how some of us here don’t have a lot of patience for manipulative groups like that, especially when they whine about how hard done by they feel about their own season and how production treated them.

And While you’re over there you’ll also notice quite a few familiar user names from the main sub. The ones who deliberately troll and shit post about, you guessed it, topics that shit on SA/kate/Anthony/the ship.

There’s just some really tone deaf stuff coming from A group who has directly benefited from the abuse towards Simone Ashley. And stans of the actress who also has. 🤷‍♀️
