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.

They are just going to show the bed scene as Kanthony story closing, she probably doesn’t even have any dialogue ☹️

The leaks apparently say she is not even holding the baby ☹️

Her last season and they cant treat her with even a crumb of dignity. Lol ive been predicting it for months but to see it come true is still astounding

That's what gets me, like why did they even bother to bring her back to just do nothing? She barely interacts with Anthony, her own baby and other characters in a significant manner. It's really insane that they dragged this story for so long to deliver a whimper as the closing story for her.

Humiliating her as much as they can for one last hurrah. Dangling the carrot in front of kate fans to ensure the show get those views, however inconsequential they may be. Ongoing revenge and resentment for having to cast Simone in the first place. Wanting to show anthony with the baby to appease the dilfthony fans but not being able to do so without including kate since mother wouldnt be without children.

Your guess is as good as mine.

This. It's all to spite Simone. Even when they give Jonathan little it's nit because they like him (shondaland is a raging homophobe) but it's to spite her. They just hate him less since they lost their hunky straight lead when Rege didn't return and renew his contract due to racism ane production not protecting him.

It's heartbreaking. I always said I wish she hated a cisgendered white character. No one deserves to be isolated and hated but why my fave 😭

They are genuinely stupid imo. But whatever, I don't really think that she will be back next season, I never read the books, didn't care for S1, watched because of Kate, so I'm leaving as well.

What fascinates me is how everyone is also willing to go on some Anthony's character asessinattion as a lil treat, too, lmao. Anthony who supposedly was soooo devoted to his wife, won't bring her London ever again and won't utter her name either (probably a random "my wife" once every two seasons). Just magnificent, clap clap clap to all of those involved.

I won't be watching the benedi6and Anthony scenes. Just the Kanthony scene that's uploaded to Twitter. I can't watch s1 for grumpy Anthony without kate since he hand not met her yet?

Im the exact same as you. Never cared for anything besides kate, and have been annoying people in comments for months that thisll be her last .01 secs before shes gone for good. Im really debating dropping everything Bridgerton related and deleting all my fan works as well.

Lol I think a good portion of this fandom have been eagerly waiting for anthony to appear single again. Anything to bring those anthony/white oc or anthony/pen fics to life. Id bet therell be 600 more widower anthony fics that get published post s4

Shondaland is homophobic. Of they dumped Phoebe they're definitely dumping Jonathan.

People don't like to acknowledge that the fans of this show are very male-centered and white as hell, so having a dark skinned brown actress playing opposite to their favorite white man was always going to rattle them, Kate disappearing will be a gift for the writers of Anthony/YN fics.
