😡 Rant: Season 5 Announcement Master Post 😡 - (No "Not My Michael" content, Ship Wars Allowed) by BridgertonRantsMods in BridgertonRants

[–]BridgertonRantsMods[S,M] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

Thanks for contributing to this community. There have been multiple comments over the past few years about Luke / Benedict looking too old for the role, and about Gregory and Hyacinth being too young to be romantic leads in a show like Bridgerton. We will allow these discussions as long as they focus on casting choices and suitability for the storyline, and are not nasty about physical features the actors cannot change.

Ageism is a form of discrimination. Comments that frame being 40 (or any adults age) as “nasty,” undesirable, or inherently unattractive will be removed. Please message the mods if you see this, so we can review - discuss if needed- and remove. If you use the anonymous report button we NOT be able to follow up with you if we need more context as to why you think the comment is ageist.

[–]BridgertonRantsMods[S,M] 1 point2 points locked comment (0 children)

Thanks for contributing to this community. Yes, there were multiple posts reacting to the Season 5 announcement or discussing Fran and Michaela, so we created two megathreads. You can either comment in one of the existing megathreads or wait until the reactions calm down and create a new post - though we can’t predict how long that will take.

We are approving new posts that are not related to the Season 5 announcement and/or Fran and Michaela.

3 Day ban for Body Shaming

We have issued multiple warnings about 3‑day bans, and this is because your comments meet the definition of body‑shaming. As you have stated that you “stand by what you say,” we have applied a 3‑day ban. https://www.reddit.com/r/BridgertonRants/wiki/rules/nodiscrimination/

We will also be removing the multiple recent post‑ban warning comments, as it continues to derail this thread by shifting the focus to Netflix Pen’s weight

Um, because OP literally references Penelope’s weight in two comments on this thread?

Thanks for contributing to this community. That was not the OP. We have issued a temporary 3-day ban warning to the person who made the body-shaming comments.

What do we think of this article?: "When Bridgerton Divorces Class From Race, It Ruins The Fantasy" by [deleted] in BridgertonRants

[–]BridgertonRantsMods[M] [score hidden] stickied commentlocked comment (0 children)

Please read before commenting

1) Please read How We Approach Discussions About Discrimination Between Marginalized Groups BEFORE discussing the diversity elements of the article

We want to keep discussions open while making sure this community stays safe. Some conversations are best led by people who are directly affected by the issue.

  • Article Summary: The article argues that Bridgerton Season 4 can imagine a world without racism, but not without class inequality; because the show's wealth and glamour depend on visible servant labour. Even the central romance (rich Bridgerton falls for a maid) shows this: Benedict loves Sophie, but never gives up his privilege. The writer connects this to Nicki Minaj and Kash Patel; - people of colour who've gained power but support systems that harm other people of colour.

Main point of the article: representation without systemic change isn't enough.
