honestly what fandom isn't the worst nowadays, feels part and parcel even for brilliant shows like IWTV that you get people so angry about anything that isn't fan service for THEIR ship

[swimbee]

I've always been a casual viewer of Bridgerton, but I dipped my toe into fandom during the break for something to do while waiting and it was a bigger mess than I thought it would be lol. Instant regret

I never thought he and Nic were together but the timing is interesting. I know he doesn’t owe anyone anything, but I think he should have probably waited at least a month after the release purely for his gf/his own sake. I can’t imagine the vitriol they are getting online because people are incredibly delulu.

I will say it is completely unsurprising that she is young and looks like that though lol

Good luck to them and I hope they stay off the internet for a while<3

"the timing is interesting"

exactly what I thought. He should have waited untill everyone catches up on the season, at least till the weekend, lmao

His poor girlfriend will be hated so much, and she is so young.

It makes me think maybe these are legit pap photos and he wasn’t expecting it because he has to know by now how bat shit Bridgerton fans are.

[Spoiler (click to open)]The way straight (and mostly white) women are screaming, crying, and throwing up over Francesca's love interest being a woman instead of a man like in the books is so deeply unhinged that you'd think the showrunner broke into their homes and kicked their dog. I cannot imagine wanting to see EIGHT seasons of pure heterosexuality. Of course, they are hiding behind "wanting book accuracy" to justify their bigoted tantrums, or even saying "they should have made a 9th sibling or do a spin-off of the gays from Queen Charlotte (two white men btw)".

"But there's homophobia in the Bridgerton world!!!" Bro, the Queen is a black woman and they dance to Pitbull songs. Plus the showrunner already confirmed that Francesca and Michaela will get their happily ever after like all the other couples.

I wasn't even going to touch this show, but I'll support the gay season when it comes. And I doubt they'll get canceled, everyone said that the Penelope season was going to flop, and look at it now.

I'm not surprised about the Francesca hate. The fandom has a very vocal conservative white women contingent who are the worst. In season 2 there was a disgusting amount of racism levelled at both Simone Ashley and Charithra Chandran, homophobia at Jonathan Bailey and this weird fake emphasis on purity within the fandom.

Like someone wrote a fic where Kate was not a virgin and it was reviled, the author had to private their account, everyone was screaming about "realism" when if this show was realistic there would be more Christianity, cousincest and STDs.

I still don't get how Bridgerton managed to amass a large white Conservative following when the premise of the show is a race blind Regency fantasy...

[laydownhere]

like its cute escapism that lightly touches on racism in its spin-off but then is like 'nvm dw about it, we solved it through true love'.

the race blindness allows a certain type of conservative to be fine with it even though the rumors Benedict was getting a dark skinned Black love interest was too much for even them

[fernandocolunga]

23?? Ok. Interesting. Not sure if I agree.

Anyways do they not know he’s ugly or

[a_files06]

We all know ugly+celebrity=handsome

[luvthatdrtywata]

Honestly I think the 23 of it all woke us up to our collective delusion and we all realized we just love Nicola and he was only hot by proximity to her.

[skankyoulater]

They both look gross 😅

[khays]

how does she look gross?
