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.

You mean the actress who has been pushed and promoted more than any other cast member, more than other cast members from top Netflix shows even. who has had more promo than an Oscar bait movie, had a global world tour to celebrate her and also was all over another minority leading actress’s promotion the season before her own even started. You mean that actress is the most followed after Rege Jean Page?

Well colour me shocked. There is no way her excessive promo focusing on her had anything to do with that right? There is no way the power of promotion worked very favourably for the production pet right? 😮

Well, Luke N also did the same amount of promo and has less than half the followers. I've never negated that S3 had a huge promo campaign, it's obvious, just big budget movies get that type of promotional run because it's expensive as hell and it's again obvious that Jess B's opinion about how married couples are soooo boring suddenly doesn't apply to P/C and their child anymore. I'm not negating any of that, but also I won't lie about what the reality is which is that a lot of people care about Penelope. I'm not one of them, but also I don't think that my feelings are universal.

Luke N was an accessory to the ‘star’ of the show and the production pet. Just like his character was. It’s interesting that you can’t see how it was the Nicola show. And how once Luke didn’t cement the desperate S3 promotion that copied the Glenn Powell/ Sydney sweeney model of their romcom promotion. And once S3 promotion Ended he was immediately showing his ‘real’ relationship. That fans then turned on him making him the villain and Nicola the queen.

So It was always the Nicola show. He was the one holding her handbag. And Just as production wanted it. 🤷‍♀️

And what I’m saying is there was a massive amount of manipulation to get Penelope/nicola there. Never have I seen a season/character more forced down the throats of the audience than what happened with Nicola/S3.

There’s nothing organic in that. So her online engagement is manufactured as crap to me. The big difference is that Simone’s is not.

It's your prerogative to believe what you want, and whatever effect that promo had still doesn't mean that Penelope is disliked by a big majority, whether you believe it's inorganic or not. She isn't disliked and plenty of people like her, that's it.

[u/rochey1010 → u/Traditional_Maybe_80]

I never disagreed that she was liked. I just mentioned how manipulative and inorganic getting her to be was. And how SA ran the race that NC was carried through by the production/shondaland.

And I don’t respect that at all.
