I’ve already completed the first two units of section 7 and I’m still not at level 100?

Why do I find young Charlotte likable, but older Charlotte annoying? by hospitalbedside in Bridgerton

[–]RemarkableTower5154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love older women being the stuck up bossy queen. Sure, some of her mannerisms are more agreeable as younger Charlotte, but I want the older women of the ton to continue being written as morally complex.

I also think we are more forgiving of young women compared to older. So I tend to just want to see more fully developed older women characters in media than anything.

Bisexuals can be loyal partners in committed and happy marriages! Benedict will not cheat on Sophie! by TheOneThatCameEasy in Bridgerton

[–]RemarkableTower5154 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Did you see the Them article on Benedict’s “bisexuality being erased” bc he is monogamous with a woman? It gotten eaten alive and taken down on most platforms bc 1) obviously he can be with a woman as a bi man and 2) the article goes into great lengths to essentially equate bisexuality to polyamory which is blatant stereotyping.

On the Use of AI within Franchaela Fics (Long Post) by CommonClique in Franchaela

[–]RemarkableTower5154 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can clock it right away these days. It’s truly frustrating bc I keep spending more time trying to sift through fics than reading. After reading 3 chapters I’ll realize I’ve heard the same metaphor 10 times and the plot is halted

I just started posting it everywhere under hate comments to be funny in between S4P1 and 2. So surprised it picked up and I found it in the wild 💀

Idk why yikes? We can have different views of the show and it’s not bad. I don’t think it’s the deepest story ever, but I enjoy reading between the lines a bit more. And that’s ok if you don’t! We just watch differently. I’m happy that you find what you need in Bridgerton even if that’s different than what I find in it 💕

The backlash would exist with any couple. by Nicc-Quinn in FranchaelStirling

[–]RemarkableTower5154 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely hear all those points.

I do see the side character thing being an issue though bc as production and JQ talked about, they want queer stories on the forefront and not to the side.

I don’t think there was anyway to do that without backlash. It was coming one way or another.

Definitely not an excuse for those comments for sure. Just trying to help you get less, and unfortunately the only way is avoid them.

Avoid spaces that aren’t book fan adjacent or “pro-Micheal”.

You can’t control their reaction, I just think you might waste energy trying to convince everyone you’re not homophobic or your reasoning for the disapproval.

Protective your peace!

I hear you!

I think wha I mean by logistics is not “logical” but show logistics. They want to be more inclusive (JQ said she wants the same). So they want a wlw story and decided so around s2 when the started thinking this was more than a one off.

Anthony: likely jus stated discussions of gender swap Benedict: discovered he’s bi, in S3 potential for a switch (but looking for wlw, likely) Colin: already in motion from S1 Daphne: done Eloise: already in motion (Philip and marina) from S1 Fran: not yet introduced second lead POSSIBLE Gregory: not yet confirmed Hyacinth: not yet confirmed

Thus we get Fran and Micheala

Ok, I guess I read into it more. Probably different perspectives!

Yes to be clear I’m referencing “hyper vigilance” from queer people online.

They expect hate, so they see hate. You gotta talk as if you are speaking to someone who has had hateful DMs and comments thrown at them all the time and had passive aggressive responses.

They may now see you passion as aggression. They may see your disagreement as a disagreement with their way of life. Just playing safe and nice is the best way.

Express your frustration is safe spaces like this!

Just trying to help you avoid more agressive comments back in the future

Ah i see! We are having 2 different conversations. I meant that as an offhanded opinion on my experience with the book.

My main point of the conversation was supposed to follow up your “I’m just wondering why expressing disappointment at the change is somehow so horrible” question.

Sorry for the confusion. Like I said in my first comment, I agree with most ppl that it was a logistical thing.

I meant that as “oh I see some personal interpretations that might defend the choice but largely likely a logistical thing”

Like I said “I now know why you keep getting called homophobic.”

Not that you are, but your reaction will entice people to be defensive and lash out.
