I Am SO Happy To See Everyone Is Defending Nicola Coughlan After That Terrible Fatphobic Article Came

I am SO happy to see everyone is defending Nicola Coughlan after that terrible fatphobic article came out, but I also can’t help but feel sad that this same level of support is not extended to Luke Newton.

Some people on Twitter were insulting Luke in order to defend Nicola. The article kept saying how Nicola “wasn’t hot enough” for Luke (obviously untrue and blatantly fatphobic), and people saw that as a green light to start calling Luke too ugly/boring for Nicola instead. Luke didn’t write the damn article, why the hell are you attacking him?!

This same lady claims she promotes body positivity btw:

The botox thing has been disproven multiple times. That’s just what his face looks like (and even if he did get botox, this level of cruel bullying would still be unwarranted).

Tweets and tiktoks go viral EVERY DAY making fun of Luke’s face, and yet nobody is rushing to his defense or pointing out how messed up that is. Just today I came across a tiktok posted 1 day ago that had 700,000+ likes comparing him to a character I won’t even say because it was just very mean. And the comments in the video were SO dehumanizing, talking about him like he’s not a real person with feelings, it genuinely left me in shock (“i knew he reminded me of something” “this explains why im scared of him”). Some people in the replies to the video were saying that it made their day/made them laugh super hard, and some were even tagging Nicola and asking her to show Luke as if the video wasn’t literally making fun of his appearance.

I know literally every actor/celebrity gets made fun of and bullied, especially on Tiktok and Twitter, but this all feels like too much. Luke Newton seems like such a kind person, so it’s hurting my heart to see this level of bullying directed toward him. If you can understand that bodyshaming Nicola is wrong, you can understand that bodyshaming Luke (and anyone else) is wrong too.

And yknow I wish positive videos got as much attention as negative ones, because I’ve seen plenty of tiktoks and tweets praising Luke, but of course those don’t blow up nearly as much as the bad ones.

We can all agree we want to see more of Lord Remington, King of Sass, in season 3 right?

pathetic isn’t really a word I‘d use for colin bridgerton. simon rather dying than marrying daphne was pathetic. anthony going through with marrying edwina until SHE mustered the courage to call everything off was pathetic.

colin contemplating his feelings, calling out his male acquaintances for their chauvinism, seeking advice from his mother and then immediately taking action and putting himself out there without even knowing if his feelings are reciprocated is the complete opposite of pathetic. that requires a whole lot of bravery.

Colin, obviously. Penelope has her freedom, it’s Colin who’s on a leash.

Penelope: I want freedom.

Deblin: marry me, you would have freedom, and obvious have to care of my business and heirs.

Colin: marry me, I would follow you like a puppy for ever and ever and ever.

Eloise: be a spinster with me and you would have to hear everything I want to say to the end of the world.

Portia: don't marry and take care of me when I get old and piss myself.

Penelope: ? ? ?

Portia needs to have a convo with my boy

I mean, he’s not wrong
