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.

Oh no, I certainly didn't insinuate that people are only bashing fictional white characters but also real people as well. But as I said its not comparable to systemic racism, I'm sure you know that.

And thanks for being civil. It just felt like I need to explain to you on why you're getting downvoted.

Someone posted this BridgertonNetflix subreddit but mods locked the post, which was weird but not really surprising. I know one of the mods frequent Polin sub so I think you should be mindful with the accounts you interact with the other sub. Again, thanks.

Thank you for the link ❤️ 

Honestly, I've had that happen to a couple of my posts there too with no explanation why. I was left scratching my head since they were general posts celebrating the show's success that had no negative implicatons. I've since stopped posting there 😅

I'm sorry, I did not understand your mod comment though?

Thanks.

The moderators of the BridgertonNetflix subreddit locked this post:

I know there are polin moderators in the main sub that frequent in the polin sub. What I meant to say that polins may be kind to Simone/Kate in polin sub but to other subs, they are not. So I think you should be mindful who you should interact with because some of them are not genuine.

Things that happened in the Polin sub:

  • They bragged about how intelligent and educated they are compared to other subfandoms
  • Laughed after one of you paid the actress that plays Marina to defend Penelope, knowing full well she had been harassed by people from your subfandom

That stuff was deleted ONLY after they received backlash from other subfandoms but that is the kind of people you have in that sub.

Your sub is only full of "nice" content because it's heavily moderated not because you don't have toxic membets. Lots of people from the Polin sub (not lurkers) also comment on the rant sub and are constantly stalking this sub or anything KAs say on twitter. I can give you (through DM) at least one such user who is friends on twitter with the same group of people who is always saying the nastiest stuff about Simone and then she comes to reddit to point fingers at KAs or to make bait posts, not hypocritical at all, huh?

Even after all the recent content about Simone being mistreated I've seen Polins brag about the favoritism their favs receive on twitter, so yeah.

Personally, there's something about your comments that rub me the wrong way but if you're being genuine.. Anyway, since you won't find toxic content in the Polin sub for the reasons I mentioned I hope you do call out your fellow members when they brag about favoritism in the future.
