Lol As Someone Who Actually Works In The Industry: You Guys Are Very, Very Naive If You Believe A Tumblr

Lol as someone who actually works in the industry: you guys are very, very naive if you believe a tumblr blog would tell you secrets about the behind the scenes of Bridgerton for a bubble of specific fans, and even less that someone who actually have access to executives would be around telling so many incorrect stuff that can be proven wrong with some clicks. And would tell you about the actors that way, while working for Netflix. It's hilarious because production is segmented, there are different crews as well, and it simply wouldn't have production/executive inside information if it worked close enough to the actors day by day to know them, and they wouldn't work with all of them to know them personally, repeatedly in the way it says, as the teams are the same for a long time and they all have made their opinions on actors very clear. It's so stupid that it made the mistake of telling you all it doesn't work with crew. They really don't know how a production of a show works and it's funny to see anyone believing it. Then again, only Kanthony and Benophy fans do.

Not only that, contradicting not simply Netflix's news of profitability and success of Season 3, but in fact, actual market news and data releases, Investments prospects, and investors reports, plus licensing, that anyone with any inside information would know it's done publicly and show the actual success and profit delivered by Season 3. To even try to say it lost money, Lol. The data is there, if you worked in a exec. position, even management position, you wouldn't say something so ignorant.

Critically, official certified critics, and audience numbers averaged above Season 2 and on par with Season 1, and you can also check the aggregate of that on RT, IMDB, sites that reunited and average the score. Audience is measured not only by Netflix, but Luminate and Nielsen. Data that is ALSO PUBLIC. And that showed the successful amount of views, specially recovering audience that Season 2 had lost. It was also superior to QC. Netflix also ranks #6 ( above Season 2, again) as their most viewed seasons. Another public information.

It becomes evident you're dealing with a fan of Anthony and Kate and Sophie and Benedict when it spills target hate for particular actors, with nonsense that is so painfully clear from a fandom member, a mere angry fan trying with a insane agenda.

That's the problem when someone has an agenda against some actors and some fictional characters, a TV show, specifically a season. They throw away logic and believe anyone.

There is no insider, you have actual market information and investors/ experts that are not even Netflix connected telling you the success of season 3. Anyone who works for the industry would know that. Lol

There is no inside information of actors from that person. All cast and crew, and connected workers, and adjacents from media, PR and more, have their words and testaments to the cast and crew openly at their socials, dismantling their obsessive nonsense, contradicting them. I contradict them, lol, as i've actually met some of them and know their work ethics and behavior.

And most importantly, the so-called ''insider'' is not even from or in the UK…yes, i know exactly what i am talking about. But for now, i wont publish. For now.

Just be aware of bullshit and propaganda with fanwar nonsense. You're dealing with someone who is simply a discontent Kanthony & Benophy fan, and a Simone fan and hater of other actors in the show ( VERY OBVIOUS THE TARGETED HATE), connected ( lol very much connected) to a blog who has adopted the name of "Anti" since the start, who hates Polin. Some people just want to create a narrative, and while they say that Benedict is the most popular and wanted character for the GA, try to justify an eventual less number say it would be S3 fault, when S3 actually revamped the numbers from S2 and had incredible profitability ( again, public data).

But be aware that we know with 100% certainty, people like that do not work for Netflix. They don't even have a clue what a netflix contract is and how it works.

Also, a warning: People should have their faces and real names on when they say things, responsibility is a must, don't you all agree? Sometimes people think they are protected under the anonymity of a tumblr url to lie their hearts out and become desperate later when they have to own personally, with their actual faces and real names, and social reputation, the stupidity of their words.

And in a more fundamental sense, grow up. Tomorrow, someone else can simply create a blog telling the opposite about your favorites, their work, their seasons, it's a game nobody wins when fans act that desperate and stupid, lying and manipulating.

Or worse: perhaps someone with actual information can start posting, and you wouldn't like what they have to say…reflect on that.

When Bridgerton fans want to talk potential soundtracks but you don’t actually know any of Taylor Swift’s music like that.

Luke and Nic - and I cannot express this enough - are not doing anything wrong.

- they said they were friends throughout the press tour - their closeness is adorable, yes, but they never said they were anything other than best-friends. They are very comfy with each other, which is understandable due to the fact they have been playing Pen and Colin for like 5 years, and once again: PR EXISTS. And they are ACTORS. They have not “deceived” anyone.

- they do not owe us compromising their boundaries! they do not owe us explanation! they do not owe us their private lives!

- anyone they are dating or not dating is THEIR BUSINESS. It is not ours, and if they choose to share that with us or not share it with us, we must respect it!

- Everyone involved is a literal adult.

- Luke is probably less engaged with social media/fans BECAUSE he’s been bullied by the fans for so long, whether it was about Colin fucking over Pen (ridiculous - they’re ACTORS) or now the fact he has a gf, or even just his appearance or his ability - all of which is horrid and inexcusable.

- Nicola posting on her story today is literally her warning people that she will also pull back; her relationship with fans and social media and marketing herself is one of the reasons people adore her so much - but she does not owe us that. She is allowed to have privacy. She is allowed to do what she wants.

We need. To leave them. Alone.

The hypocrisy around Luke vs Nicola is so glaring when it comes to age gap discourse, and we can all see it now, but Nicola tried so hard to indirectly put an end to it.

Nicola could see all the shit people were throwing Luke’s way for not only not dating her, but him getting dragged for dating a woman younger than himself, meanwhile she was dating someone else and with an even larger age gap. The whole time she was trying to send Luke support and get people off his back with posts about being his fan and then being friends and what a good guy he was because she knew it wasn’t his fault and he was taking all the heat from HER fans while she wasn’t ready to hard launch her own 24 year old boyfriend. She tried so hard to say stop without coming right and saying stop, and to protect everyone’s reputation and privacy at the same time. She really was trying her best and people let their delulu and unwillingness to just let things be ignore her.

People are still trying to lump them in together as if the age gaps are the same when Luke got dragged for a much smaller one, or blame Luke for bursting their bubble on them dating because he dared to not hide his girlfriend on a big night for himself- a night that was just as much about him as it was about Nicola. All to make excuses and justify why they righteous to hate Luke and not hypocrites at all, when it’s not ok to hate either of them because we are not entitled to their private lives!!!

This fandom owes Luke and Nicola both apologies for treating them like playthings, like dolls who’s faces you can mush together and make kiss, like public property. But they ESPECIALLY owe Luke an apology for all the hate thrown his way. This is honestly a “just say you hate Luke and go” moment, because maybe the fake fans who only like him when they think he’s dating Nicola can finally set him free from their expectations. He never deserved what happened to him, I hope this puts an end to it.

polin + the onion headlines

I see people are finally clocking it.
