“I don’t know if this is an acceptable confession or even counts as one, but I still want to share:
I will never understand why the casting director refused to follow the physical appearance for Kate Sheffield from the book (white woman with blonde hair). That being said, Anya Taylor-Joy or Lily James immediately came to my mind.”
I admit I do sometimes enjoy things out of spite because I didn’t love S3’s aesthetic, but the way these overdramatic people act like it ruined the whole show and made S3 unwatchable makes me hope they keep that aesthetic for the rest of the series. When S3 won an Emmy for best costumes when none of the other seasons did I cheered.
How does it feel when your fav is constantly unemployed 🤣 he gave everyone so much ick, that nobody wants to cast him. Luke Newton loser crew has to find another entertainment 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can’t remember the last time Phoebe or Rege, Jonathan or Simone or India and Corey interacted so what is with the obsession with Luke or Nicola? Weird behaviour
I think it's because some people need their friendship for personal comfort. Which is very weird, because we never should feel like a relationship between strangers is our business or right.
People have just grown accustomed to their bond, and now, when they've been left bereft, they start spiralling. But that's not within our rights to have a glimpse into it. It's really none of our business if they interact.
The blessing and curse that was Nicola and Luke’s insane chemistry for sure, because part of the reason is that no one truly thought the other ships were that close. But Kanthony fans were PISSED that Simone and Jonathan went to Met Gala and didn’t take a picture together. The thing is, instead of turning on Simone and Jonathan, their fans somehow (as always) turn it into hate for Nicola and Luke. They said that Jonathan and Simone weren’t allowed to interact by Shonda because it would steal attention from Polin, and people often blame Nicola specifically for other ships not being allowed to post. So those rabid fans are out there, it just gets drowned out by Polin hate.
The gaslighting S2 fans have done to the fandom by carpetbombing S3 hate and S2 supremacy takes all over the internet should be studied. They’re loud and obnoxious and a little more obsessed with talking about S3 than they should be, but that by no means makes S2 the better or more popular season. The internet is not the full viewing audience, and the people who make it their business to act like that on Twitter or TikTok are a self selecting demographic. I’m not doing this again because I remember how those fans tried to act like no one cared about Polin before S3 even though the whole time Polin posts on Bridgerton socials were the first ones to break a million likes. They make Polin the perpetual underdogs but it’s not even true and never has been. Polin fans gotta stop conceding and calling S2 the most popular and acting like liking Polin or S3 is an unpopular opinion when it’s not. Chalk it up to those fans being desperate to pick a fight (which they are. ALWAYS.) and continue to like what you like with pride.
Can’t stop now, Luke Newton loser crew sails for another self-degrading delulu trip. It is hard, really hard when you stan the ugliest and also weakest actor of the whole show. The only lead to give ick to the audience 🤣
Every time an anti-Polin pro-Debling post comes up on Bridgerton Reddit, Polin fans should ignore it and post an Anthony and Siena/Edwina post. They’re trolling at this point and we all know it, so why not troll back. Ok if Polin has to keep fighting, now we all have to fight. Let’s do this.
Alternatively, start spamming the comments with pictures of Portia. Because they sound like fucking Portia.
Isn't any favourable opinion of Edwina unpopular lol?
Edwina's a protagonist in s2
fandom acts stupid on purpose to villify Edwina
many Edwina haters are racist/ sexist/ colourist but hide behind "loving" Kate
Edwina was not wrong to trust her family
she was a victim and was betrayed by everyone
in his speech at the talent show, Anthony never says he'll never love Edwina
Kate's warning about Anthony in ep 1-2 doesn't mean Edwina's at fault for believing Anthony's pointed advances and trusting the people around her (including Kate) who supported them
Edwina's not a gold digger
it's normal to not suspect your fiance and sister of having an emotional affair, Edwina wasn't "blind"
it's normal to want your fiance and sister to get along
Edwina does not magically forgive everyone
it's normal to be hurt when lied to
it's normal to lash out when hurt
her reaction in episode 6 was quite subdued
it's normal to be hurt when the people who broke your heart are giddily dancing in front of you
it's normal to be hurt when they're sniffing each other in front of you
I get if Edwina doesn't attend the wedding
it's not normal to want Edwina to grovel at Kate's feet for raising her and let all of Kate's actions slide
it's not normal to want Edwina to suffer as "retribution" for Kate's struggles, stop projecting
it's not normal to act like Edwina is Kate's property
little Edwina also suffered the loss of a parent and shouldered the responsibility of providing for her family through her marriage
it's not normal to hate Edwina for existing and Charithra for portraying her
Edwina was done a disservice by being shielded from the truth/infantilised when she was old enough to be married
Charlotte was the adult Edwina needed AKA someone who gave her the truth and let her decide
loved Edwina's scene with the king
Edwina is not fine in episode 8 but puts on a brave front for Kate
Edwina adores Kate as much as Kate adores her
Edwina always sings Kate's praise
I want Edwina to be in love, happy, rich and married to Prince Friedrich
having a comfortable life (like all leading Bridgerton ladies) doesn't mean there's "no character development"
It really angers me when people say things like “Kate is more interesting because she’s much more aware of the world” and that Edwina (and Daphne) are “boring” because they are too innocent. Well, instead of looking at them, look at the people who shielded them from real life!
Kate’s excuse of keeping the truth for Edwina to protect her is BULLSHIT! It’s patronizing and condescending!!!! We see the same stupid argument in every action movie where the male protagonist keeps the truth from their female love interest. And you know what happens to them, they either die or come close to it! Ignorance only puts the person in a higher risk. If Kate wanted to keep Edwina safe, she should have prepared her for the realities of life and marriage. What did she think, that Edwina would always live in a pink bubble forever! What if her husband ended up being horrible? What if he had mistresses, what if he mistreated her? What then? Also, Kate planned to leave to India right after the wedding?!
Kate is the embodiment of “don’t do good things that seem bad.” I understand she had Edwina’s best interest in mind and she loved her sister deeply, but she made tons of mistakes. And people should not take that away from her! She’s allowed to make mistakes!!!
Can we also emphasize the blatant racism in how a poc character is criticized for doing the same actions of a white character?
Like people love Anthony for making mistakes and learning from them when it comes to his interactions with his siblings but Kate making mistakes in her relationship with Edwina is purely evil?
Please, a female character (especially if it's a woman of color) is always help up to higher standards and expected to be perfect to be likable. Kate is human, of course she does mistakes but that does not mean she has to be hated.
Also, it is funny how Daphne is praised for being rightfully mad for being sent to the marriage mart while knowing nothing about marital life, but Edwina is highly criticized for being angry when she found out Kate lied/kept things from her regarding Edwina's life.
Everybody knows Luke Newton loser crew and he as well is just jealous of JB career. Cry some more losers - maybe he will get finally cast in some D-list movie
I get it now. I really do. I get why it’s so much fun to troll. They got off on trolling Polin fans, and now seeing them get annoyed by their golden boy getting whacked after YEARS of shit talking and “fan favorite” BS and bragging about not needing a glow up… it’s cathartic. There is joy in seeing them not be able to enjoy this rollout because of buzzing in their ear from haters and trolls. What they did to Polin, to Colin, what they STILL do to Luke— they’re getting a taste of it and they can’t handle it because they let themselves think that everyone loves their man and none of the shit they fed to the fandom would come back to haunt them. They wanted universal love and they’re not gonna get it. And I’m having fun watching. I can’t get them to stop being awful to Luke N. Silence didn’t do it, ignoring it didn’t do it, holding our tongue about Luke T didn’t do it. So if I can’t be happy with Luke N’s treatment, I’ll at least be entertained.
Nothing I could ever say about any other actor will ever be as fucked up as what Luke Newton’s haters say about him, and I think that’s why I don’t feel bad anymore. It comes from all sides, all the hate rolls downhill to him. So fuck it. I support Luke Newton fans who are mean, I support Luke Newton fans who are bitches, I support Luke Newton fans who are EVIL. I will never shame Luke Newton fans who talk shit back.
The delusions are getting worse by the day, Luke Newton loser crew is reaching new lows. Not surprise he doesn’t interact with them and parades his gf around so the uggos and piggies don’t get the wrong idea
