If they follow last season’s timeline, we’d be hearing about a release date and getting a teaser a little over a month in advance, so it could come out in May and we’d still not hear confirmation for a while.

Generally I would ignore, but that person is half a step away from hurling slurs at Joe and Bash ,so just wait around and report when they do. Who knew a wholesome show about two men would attract homophobes. Strange times.

by Anonymousreply 19January 30, 2023 1:19 PM

I have just looked their twitter is a mess they are using slurs liberally and fighting rather messily for the right to be a homophobe. There was also some seriously disturbing screenshots of homophobic messages directed at Joe going around a couple of days ago from some of the known fan accounts it looks very much like they have given up the pretence that they are the morally virtuous ones.

Which makes a change and might be a relief the final implosion and disappearance of these unhinged fangirls cannot happen soon enough

by Anonymousreply 20January 30, 2023 2:01 PM

R20 I saw that, and if you're talking about Mills (loverspring) - pretty sure it wasn't actually her that posted one of those comments (even though the username had 'mills' in it). She seemed pretty horrified when people showed her the screenshots, and even though she's 'called Joe out' in the past for doing nothing, she still seems to be a big fan of him. But either way, it's so frustrating that people actually screenshot abuse from elsewhere, bring it to Twitter and post it publicly so it's way more likely that the actors will actually see it.

by Anonymousreply 21January 30, 2023 2:10 PM

Curiouscat being down really did a number on those fans. They can't send their anon homophobia anymore. It's been pretty obvious for awhile HS is full of homophobic fans and that's why Joe and Bash get attacked so much. Though I didn't think they'd do it on main, but in the end nobody cares about it since they agree with the comments. Read a comment about how gay men are the main oppressors of trans women/men too. Bisexual men of course have no power over trans women/men though.

People are bold as fuck to use Will and/or Kit's name and pictures to call gay men slurs though.

by Anonymousreply 22January 30, 2023 2:24 PM

R21 I can’t remember the names involved just an offensive screenshot and accusations flying around. My biggest surprise was it didn’t get dragged over here like it usually does.

I would not be worried about Joe seeing anything on twitter at this point I don’t think he or Bash will be checking in any time soon. If messages that bad have been passed around publicly heaven knows what they had previously been sent it is little wonder they have all backed off social media or left it completely

R23 I saw them, but didn't bring them over here because it would have given the person making the comments exactly what they wanted.

They wanted attention and their bullshit to spread.

R24 The lesbian with the Kit fetish? I think I know the one you mean she has been mentioned on here before. I don’t suppose it matters who sent them although I find in life the simplest answers are usually the right ones. Either way someone sent appalling messages publicly and that is likely to be a sadly accurate reflection of what the cast has received privately

The person those messages were sent to is a bitch. They are literally so annoying and I'm going to keep reporting them until they get suspended.

Their anger is so misplaced. Like you want actor to step down from the role and then what. Marvel is going to hire another white twink. Being Jewish was not a requirement then and it won't be now. Go fight marvels for inclusion instead of teen actors.

R27 That person is a known harasser of MCU actors, so HS fans clinging to her to hate on Joe with a sprinkle of homophobia is not surprising. And hate to tell them but Billy is just a basic white twink in the comics and his claim to fame is not being Jewish, which is only casually mentioned and sometimes not at all.

Don't give a shit about what twitter says in general, though someone needs to study how a story about a gay relationship has some many homophobic fans. They are gonna freak out when Alice mentions Nick and Charlie fuck in Vol 5 even if it's going to be the most boring fade to black scene in the history of the world.

by Anonymousreply 30January 30, 2023 3:18 PM

Twitter was an absolute mess yesterday and I’d second or third the request not to bring it here. It was actually pretty fucked and Joe fans just made it a lot worse. A few of them brought it from Twitter to instagram which is the last thing needed. Let’s leave it on Twitter where it has been let breed because no one who could put a stop to it (Alice) has bothered to defend young gay men.

by Anonymousreply 31January 30, 2023 5:49 PM

R21 her level of removing Joe from the narrative of the show is just homophobic. It’s self fulfilling, if he gets no visibility from the big accounts then he doesn’t generate any goodwill and people feel comfortable attacking him. And so on. Convinced See Saw and Heartstoppertv didn’t tag Joe and Kit in their heartstopper post the other day on Insta (they tagged Kit in one this morning) because they were scared of people commenting. So now he doesn’t even get support from the show

by Anonymousreply 32January 30, 2023 5:58 PM

Not saying bringing it here, but ignoring doesn't make it go away. This isn't 3-4 trolls calling Kit a queerbaiter, but big accounts being openly homophobic and getting props for doing it. Though nothing will change since anyone who could say something won't since they are too busy wallowing in self pity elsewhere

Who cares? The main cast have all left twitter. This is just people screaming at each other from their bedrooms while those they trash are out enjoying life, living their dream & paid nicely for it. These people are complete losers. They must have seriously boring real lives to have this much time to waste online at a weekend.

by Anonymousreply 34January 30, 2023 6:45 PM

Not gonna lie - I care a bit. Letting homophobia be blatantly bred online and nobody except other unhinged fans calling it out is pretty worrying. It would be nice for a single cast member or the show or frankly anyone to give Joe some love right now. A throwback photo by a cast member, a tagged post on Insta by the show’s account or Netflix - like, literally a single thing. Private support is great I’m sure but a little public support of a gay man who is being homophobically attacked online would be nice. You’re right that it’s just people shouting at each other anonymously but pink news etc look out for the noise to generate engagement. the Mary Sue wrote an article about Joe’s casting being problematic last year based on the Twitter noise. That would have got no traction if heartstopper fans hadn’t jumped on. It’s unsettling

by Anonymousreply 35January 30, 2023 7:17 PM

Joe's fans made it worse? He is literally facing such homophobic comments daily. Kit fans fight for less. Also I really hope marvel gays know how to fight because these hs fans need a good whacking. It's been long overdue.

Ps I don't think anyone will comment on it. It has been going on for so long.

by Anonymousreply 36January 30, 2023 7:24 PM

Realistically, none of us here can do anything about the worst of it, and I'm a firm believer that giving them attention only empowers the trolls to keep going. And I'm talking about the worst of the comments, the ones that are completely anonymous so you can't even properly report anything. Everyone needs to stop publishing all of that shit. The teenagers needed to take Curious Cat's demise as divine intervention instead of searching for another fucking anonymous message site to get on so they could continue to publish Joe hate. Stick to going after and reporting people where there's some sort of recourse, at the very least some of gaohardy's tweets are gone because of the Twitter Rules.

Part of me thinks (or hopes) that this isn't even registering on anyone's radar because if you look at the whole thing, it's the same handful of names that come up every time and you're not going to know about the CC or AO3 messages unless you're pretty online.

by Anonymousreply 37January 30, 2023 7:32 PM

And it's Bash getting hate too, though obviously not as vile as Joe is. Though like R35 said, HS fans make negative things about the two gain enough traction for the media to pay attention to it so it does have a life outside twitter regardless.

Can't help but wonder if this has something to do with Joe landing Marvel, when those same people always thought he'd have to struggle for roles. Kit's gonna obviously land big things in the future, but that doesn't stop them from being mad Joe did it first.

Nothing anyone can do it about it. I'll just be glad when this show is over.

R38 Whoever is doing it wants people to think it's Kit fans (signing their comments as Mills and the other freak), which makes me think it's not actually Kit fans specifically. The comments showing up on the account of one of the loudest anti-Joe as Wiccan accounts, an account that isn't part of the Heartstopper fandom, makes me think it is definitely related to Joe playing Wiccan and is fueled by flat-out hatred more than resentment.

by Anonymousreply 40January 30, 2023 8:00 PM

Serious post now I agree I find it disturbing and unsettling just how blatant the homophobia has become and it reiterates the risk many of the cast members have taken by being out from the start of their careers. There is definitely a wider issue and worry beyond the twitter mudslinging and like you say media outlets are starting to pick up on it for the clicks.

I firmly believe the lack of public support has come from not wanting to draw attention to it and make it a bigger news story. For the most part it is still confined to twitter but imagine if Kit or Netflix for example openly posted about it it would make mainstream national media overnight. I assume the idea is to ride it out until Joe can get away from the Heartstopper fanbase or they move onto someone else. It is easy to forget when reading twitter searches that most people and most fans do not even know any of it is happening.

At the moment the argument seems to be why homophobia is justified and gay men do not need protection and can be legitimately targeted. It makes a change from pretending they are not homophobic but it makes me uneasy how brazen they have become there is a real and quite desperate hatred there.

So far I had resisted the temptation to paraphrase anything on to here but along with the usual vitriolic and dehumanising name calling I have seen in various places public conversations around wanting to end both Joe and Bash’s careers, to physically assault them, to keep pushing until they end up harming themselves or hospitalised and unable to work and some are now openly saying it is because they hate gay men. These are people who identify as Heartstopper fans.

I do not want to give it oxygen but what is the answer? This is old school homophobia of the worst kind and young gay men are out there being targeted by it. This is presumably still a mainly gay community so the question is can or should we attempt to actually address any of this or just hope it eventually fizzles out

Yaz was the smartest one in end. She didn’t get involved in the fandom at all and really relied on our community to lift her. The Twitter teens love her but the level of fucks she gives is clearly zero. I’m sort of coming around to loving her. She’s every hot mean girl in high-school I desperately wanted to be my bitchy best friend. She must be unbelievably fun to party with

by Anonymousreply 42January 30, 2023 8:06 PM

Flip side: While the blatant homophobia is legitimately horrendous, it also makes it far less likely for even shitty outlets like Pink News to go write articles on Joe’s casting. If all the discourse was still cabined in “as a Jewish person whose family survived the Holocaust”, “amplify Jewish voices”, there would maybe be more interest in biting. When you have accounts saying publicly with hundreds of likes that trans women have the right to use fag as a slur, they are not touching that with a ten foot pole

The truth is that the correct people need to say something. It was remarkable how much the Bash stuff calmed after The Gamer wrote their piece. Having a magazine with a trans editor come out and speak about a game they were actively boycotting to defend Bash’s involvement as being from a long time ago. They even gave a very firm timeline of how long ago we knew JK was a transphob (from memory) and linked it to 2020 not 5 years ago or whatever. Vocal members of the Jewish community need to say it’s a marvel issue and no one should be bullying a gay teen about it. Trans rights activists need to remind people we are in the same fucking community and the violence doesn’t need to come from inside the house - there is plenty targeting all of us out in the world. Netflix and that fucking heartstopper tv Insta account need to start putting Charlie content up with Joe tagged. The cast need to do something to remind fans that he’s part of the team and they love him.

If we say it we are just bitter privileged queens

by Anonymousreply 45January 30, 2023 8:20 PM

R40 I’m not sure I buy this re reading those screen shots it references things like knowing about Joe breaking down on set filming for Series one which you would have to have gone through old interviews with a tooth comb to find. That wasn’t said by some unconnected Marvel fan trying to frame Heartstopper fans there would be much simpler ways to do that and the motivation would be unclear while we know well enough the long running problem they have with Joe, Bash and homophobia generally

by Anonymousreply 46January 30, 2023 8:21 PM

R46 I think you misunderstood my comment. I'm not saying it's unconnected Marvel fans, I'm saying they're people that hates Joe specifically enough to go outside of the fandom to start drama. I don't think it's related to a Kit vs Joe thing, I think it's purely fueled by hatred of Joe and these people (person?) want to hit on all possible triggers. Kit is one of them.

by Anonymousreply 47January 30, 2023 8:32 PM

R47 I agree with that in there is a core in that group, I do not know how many but definitely more than one, who are obsessed and I believe I have seen signs of them trying to start fires elsewhere before this. Their primary target was always Bash but I would say since Marvel was confirmed and started filming it has switched to Joe. I do not hold Kit in any way responsible for the people who have latched on to him but the timing suggests beyond homophobia it is also driven by an extreme parasocial identification with Kit so feeling personally wounded and insanely jealous that Joe is in Marvel and Kit is not.

The irony of course being Kit will have definitely been picked up for a major project as well, possibly Marvel too, it just hasn’t been confirmed publicly yet

by Anonymousreply 48January 30, 2023 8:46 PM

Some of it is just homophobia and no one with any influence is saying anything. Are there young gay men in that fandom - how do they feel? A show that was meant to make them feel seen and included has a fanbase telling them that they should not be seen. Again. It just feels like everyone is too scared to support a young gay man against vicious teens for fear of what? Having to have their sm managers monitor the comments on their Insta account? It’s all so cowardly - it’s like fucking school again except Netflix is involved.

by Anonymousreply 49January 30, 2023 9:31 PM

R49 to be fair to the rest of the cast, they backed Kit immediately when he said something about being forced out and liked all his other tweets alluding to the queerbaiting stuff before that. I give them enough credit (and Kit) to think if Joe (or Bash, but Joe gets more of it) wanted to say something about the intense homophobia, they would repost it or leave supportive messages. It’s absolutely awful Joe is going through it but to be honest I do genuinely think it’s likely personal preference in large part keeping him and the others from saying anything about it. If he ever addresses it and the others don’t back him, I agree, I will s judge them, but that seems less likely

by Anonymousreply 50January 30, 2023 9:45 PM

R50 sorry, to be clear - I am not aiming at the cast at all. It would be nice but it’s not their job to support him and they’re just kids really. They also have their own careers to look out for. I was talking about Netflix, heartstopper,, Alice, seesaw, Patrick etc. I suspect you’re right about the silence but it probably comes from Joe’s PR and agents. He’s feisty - I feel like he would probably like to defend himself.

by Anonymousreply 52January 30, 2023 9:55 PM

It shouldn’t be up to the cast to be the first line of defense in the first place, it should be up to Alice and Patrick to step up. Even with the Kit thing Alice and Patrick were pretty cowardly, only commenting once Kit himself was pushed over the edge and after Kit finally came out. They should have stepped up when Kit was expressing frustration multiple times, months and months prior. I’m pretty sure that Patrick was the one who went around commenting about the accurate casting that put Kit under the microscope in the first place. Anyway, what I’m trying to say here is that I don’t expect them to ever say anything unless it gets to Joe and he lashes out.

by Anonymousreply 53January 30, 2023 9:58 PM

In defence of Kit obsessed Lesbian (not usually my position) she has posted some Joe content today. It would be nice if some of the other accounts just reminded everyone that he’s Charlie from that show they love. Maybe then the official accounts will start tagging him again - I’m clearly still pissed the official account didn’t tag the post last week when every other actor has been tagged in their posts recently.

R49 From what I have seen there are very few gay men in the online fandom certainly on twitter. There were a few high profile accounts at one point but they seem have disappeared or de activated. So the answer to the question is the young male fans have removed themselves from twitter at least as completely as the gay cast members have. You occasionally see gay men not embedded in the fandom intervening but they are usually met with unbridled homophobia and liberal use of the f word.

It is almost all teen and early twenties girls who are obsessed with Kit many of whom identify as bi or gender fluid. A couple of the most unhinged offenders like the one responsible for todays rant are young trans women who maybe need to work through some issues with a therapist instead of spending their lives attacking gay men online.

I would say the core group of twitter fans have made sure it is not a welcoming place for cis men of any persuasion which is quite an achievement for fans of a male on male love story.

It makes me pretty mad as well but I don’t know what the answer is. Alice writing a blog telling them directly they are not welcome while Joe and Bash are might work but that is one thing we can be sure won’t happen, and the rest of the cast will have been advised to address nothing and not get publicly involved in the hope it goes away.

I do think if some combination of Alice, Patrick and Euros nipped it in the bud when they first started seriously and openly going after Bash in the summer they could have stopped the momentum but that window of opportunity has gone. They are completely feral now and I have even seen posts accusing Patrick and Euros of forcing Alice to keep Joe and Bash involved against her will because gay mafia and all that

by Anonymousreply 57January 30, 2023 10:08 PM

R50 If the people closest to Joe from the cast (Bash obviously, but also Kit, Tobie, Will) and the cast member who is most likely to have seen any of the worst of it (Leila) haven't commented or liked anything, I imagine it's part of Joe's decision to disconnect from the Twitter side entirely and not humour any of it anymore.

by Anonymousreply 58January 30, 2023 10:08 PM

I wonder if Joe not being tagged in the official account is his choice and part of a deliberate move away from Heartstopper generally. After all he has a big time agency and his now primary employer Marvel eyeing his long term career and I imagine they all want to remove him from the fan shitshow as soon as possible if only to safeguard his mental health.

We also have no idea how far some of these nutters have gone beyond social media. They are a tiny number but seem very determined to try and cause problems for him at any cost

R56 he has not. They are cowards. That post got far less engagement than it would have if kit (and a lesser extent Joe) was tagged. The heartstoppertv account has 1.1 million followers. A post about Tao and Elle with Will and Yaz tagged got more than 400k likes. The post of Charlie and Nick in iconic scenes got 250k without the leads tagged. There is a very clear reason that could have been untagged and it seems like it’s a total lack of support of Joe. It’s not saying anything it’s just acknowledging he’s in the show

R61 Marvel, and every other company under the Disney umbrella, does not care about their actors beyond making sure that they don't spoil anything. They leave the actors to fend for themselves. Letitia Wright sustained an injury on set that led to a BP2 filming delay and they let everyone online, including journalists, think that it was because she had refused the vaccine and therefore couldn't enter the country. Cue the backlash. Lucasfilm has only very recently started stepping up for their actors of color, and only because the actress herself put a spotlight on the racist abuse she was receiving and forced their hand. They left John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran out to dry. Disney absolutely does not give a single solitary fuck about their actors.

by Anonymousreply 71January 30, 2023 11:15 PM

R70 I can’t say I have but how old is old? Plenty of them describe 20 as old. I have come across a few in their thirties but the usual suspects that I am aware of are all mid teens to early twenties.

The overall impression is a school ground

by Anonymousreply 72January 30, 2023 11:25 PM

R72 Around 40+? Women old enough to have kids. I want to be clear that as far as I know this person I'm linking to isn't involved in instigating or propagating drama, but she's an example of the older women I've seen in the fandom. Shay's another one I suspect is an older woman, she was replying to tweets from last year the other day. Everyone seems to be either old enough that they don't understand internet culture or young enough that they don't understand consequences and are total assholes.

R73 You mean the petals one referencing her daughter? I looked at the other one first who I do recognise as one of the saner ones and she just seemed like a typical teen girl from Germany and wondered how she came across as forty.

I have no idea who the other one is I can’t remember ever seeing her before and it looks like she only joined last month so very late in this saga. Shay is bought up here sometimes she is always in the searches because of her user name I have no idea how old she is.

If you are asking if older women are part of the problem I really doubt there is enough of them to be most 40 year olds just aren’t chronically online. I would say extreme youth and it’s lack of frontal lobe integration is the bigger factor which is also why it is generally a waste of time engaging with it

Twitter isn’t real. Delete the app & oh look, problem solved. The idiots are gone out your life. I really roll my eyes at people crying over online bullies. Just stop reading it. None of these people would dream of saying any of this in real life to anyone’s face. So just get off social media, go breathe some fresh air, talk to actual humans & all is well.

Why are people so obsessed with social media being reality? It’s genuinely concerning.

by Anonymousreply 79January 31, 2023 8:59 AM

R79 The problem is what happens on social media and how it reacts to people with any degree of fame matters to PR and media companies. It is a powerful tool and though I also think they give it too much power bearing in mind the majority of people in the world never know what is trending on Twitter. Social media can and has had a real life impact on careers for good and bad.

I don’t believe the targeting on twitter by this small gang of bullies is going to have a lasting impact on Joe or Bash’s career mainly because there has been no substance to anything they have attacked them for when you bring it to the light of day and it disappears just the homophobia underlying it stays visible. However what I think it could do especially as the homophobia has become more brazen is put off young male actors in particular from coming out in future which is sad. Only a really successful career trajectory for Joe and/or Bash is going to offset that effect now.

I totally agree on a personal level people should not get involved or allow it such power to impact their mental health. Kit and Joe did the right thing by deleting their accounts for good and I really think our social media butterfly Bash should do the same

by Anonymousreply 80January 31, 2023 1:22 PM

R79 that’s not really a hot take. The stuff with the Bash and the game shows that. That was a small but very loud group that drew Pink News’ attention and then it was everywhere. I agree it’s not real but the mainstream media are trying to fill a never ending cycle. To their credit I think they are staying away from this generally. I’ve mentioned before that the Mary Sue wrote an article about the Wiccan “controversy” but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt that they had no idea it would be used to bully a gay teen by the hearstoppers homophobic Twitter fans. I do think the media confuses followers with influence. The 5000 fans those accounts are followed by (or even 20k) don’t all agree with the homophobic nonsense being said, they’re scrolling past it all looking for photos of Kit in a singlet.

What I find so amusing about this is the online fanbase has been so vocal about the ‘white boys’ taking the attention from the poc cast members to primarily attack Bash but will now kick up a ruckus or just not buy tickets because the ‘white boys’ aren’t there. It is the worst kind of virtue posturing posting an occasional picture of Cori or Yaz and squeal about their perfection then ignore them the rest of the time and certainly not spend money to see them. The con organisers know this full well which is why Kit, Joe and Bash probably are always first on the invite list. They are a business and know as well as we do that the majority of them are just ‘white boy’ Kit’s very white fangirls who do not want Bash interfering with their straight girl fantasies but also do not want to be perceived as being that basic. Their money will not follow their rhetoric

by Anonymousreply 158February 2, 2023 2:23 PM

Well, some are also seemingly annoyed and offended that the con would even ask if they’re still interested when they still have a “bunch of other main characters there”. Of course if neither lead can attend they’re going to check and see if it’s still worth their while bringing supporting characters. If Bash could attend or hadn’t said no, they’d still ask. The big “draw” will be the leads, and then the rest of the cast will generally be added as add ons. Using the London con, I can’t think of anyone who went just for Will or even just for Bash, for instance. They went for Kit and/or Joe and tacked on Will and Bash.

Rhea played a very annoying character but I actually thought she was one of the better young actors in Heartstopper (besides Joe and Kit, obv). She has a very expressive face and can express more complex emotion than some of the other actors in the show.

R183 the delivery of the homophobic line really was hilarious. It was probably the best line in the whole show (gay crisis might give it a run though)

R183 even in one of the bloopers, fhe fact that she started crying over the dead dog is actually pretty good and an indicator that she could be good with better written dialogue

by Anonymousreply 186February 2, 2023 8:57 PM

R186 she just needs a bit of practice with the camera. She felt a little bit drama school. That being said Kit and Joe really acted circles around the rest of the cast when it came to subtly and screen appropriate acting. I think it was probably good for Joe to be around someone with so much screen experience for his first job.

by Anonymousreply 187February 2, 2023 9:02 PM

R187 not to be overly dramatic but given joes total lack of experience he’s genuinely got the room to be one of the most talented actors in his age group. If he works on his range and continues lessons or other ways of getting feedback he will be genuinely phenomenal. It’s also a good sign that he is self critical, has mentioned watching his performance back and noting his stronger and weaker moments.

by Anonymousreply 188February 2, 2023 9:05 PM

R185 Too true - that's one of the reasons I'd love Joe and Kit to be Hulkling and Wiccan, because their natural banter and comedy skills are wasted with the sometimes weak dialogue in Heartstopper. Maybe it'll be better in season 2. Episode 1 was especially weak, with the 'it looks like I'm wearing blue gloves' scene, bleh.

by Anonymousreply 189February 2, 2023 9:05 PM

R189 from what I can tell that was very early on in shooting. That, the scenes with Bash and the locker scene with the stupid pink heart bit are all pretty weak (even Kit isn’t on his best form) and I think they were all first couple of weeks. Arcade scene, which I think has really beautiful non verbal acting from both of them, seems like it was much closer to the end.

by Anonymousreply 190February 2, 2023 9:10 PM

R190 Joe’s nonverbal acting was at its peak there (and he also looked gorgeous) and in the first kiss scene. The way he acted that entire bit was unbelievably strong. Both of their best scenes are 95% with each other with a few individual standout moments without one another, which is why it’s great he and Kit have been recognized primarily together as it’s their chemistry that makes the show

by Anonymousreply 191February 2, 2023 9:12 PM

R190 Agreed, but I was mainly talking about the writing in episode 1. Even if the ink explosion scene had been at the end of the season, I don't think any amount of great acting could've made it a great scene. Alice writes some funny moments, especially with Tori, but the Charlie/Nick banter is often lacking.

by Anonymousreply 192February 2, 2023 9:14 PM

In honour of having no content, who do you all think were the strongest and weakest young actors in the cast?

Joe and Kit aside, I thought Cori was pretty good and Jenny was great especially given her character is written to be highly unrealistic.

In the bottom (and I know they all are young and have a lot of room to grow), I thought Will, Yaz, and Kizzy were weak. Will was good in the play though and I thought Kizzy was pretty charming, so I have hopes for both of them. Yaz was extremely wooden but maybe won’t be in season 2.

by Anonymousreply 193February 2, 2023 9:15 PM

R182 It's a C4 drama series and she's in the trailer with a line, we'll see how it turns out.

R193 Kit > Joe > Jenny > Cori > Rhea > Kizzy > Bash > Will > Yaz > Tobie, I think?

Some of them didn't have a ton of material to judge from for me to be totally fair, I would say (sorry Tobie, your delivery in the infirmary scene was not great at all but you didn't have much else). I'll probably re-evaluate this after S2.

by Anonymousreply 194February 2, 2023 9:37 PM

R191 Joe is stunning at the arcade. I think he often suffered because they valued naturalistic over lighting the actors specifically, and Kit really sucks up light just because of his skin and he is so telegenic. That scene seemed lit properly because the venue was so dark.

R193 I don’t know much about Jenny except that she is much older than the rest of cast. Does she have much experience?

I agree that Cori had some strong moments, Kizzy could ride that charm, Rhea has a lot of potential, Bash was pretty good (though I think he and Joe’s relationship made them both a bit hesitant in their scenes. Felt like he had a lot more in the tank). Yaz is also really telegenic and that could carry her career but she was pretty stilted. Will did some okay non verbal acting but his dialogue was particularly terrible.

by Anonymousreply 195February 2, 2023 9:38 PM

I don’t know if I have the energy to rank them right now beyond “Kit and Joe good,” but the Tao and Elle deleted scene pushed Will up a bit for me.

by Anonymousreply 196February 2, 2023 9:45 PM

R195 agreed re bash and Joe, but to be honest their relationship aside, it was awful thinking to film those scenes so early. The earliest scenes were always bound to be the weakest scenes due to lack of experience for most of the cast, and for it being the heaviest subject matter in Charlie’s storyline s1, they absolutely should’ve pushed the Ben stuff to at least midway through the shoot imo. Even where the actors were just friends and there wasn’t any romantic tension there, asking someone brand new to acting on screen and another young actor to act out an assault scene week 2 is pretty nuts.

R217 Reinforcing that Joe is gay-hot and hetros both fear and hate that. I also think Kit is hot as hell but he’s deal is way more universal beauty standards. Joe is specifically hot to men, which seems to make young women on Twitter very angry at him

by Anonymousreply 218February 3, 2023 11:35 AM

Kit is definitely good looking, and this is solely a matter of personal preference, but I think part of Joe’s appeal on here is there aren’t really a lot of celebrities who look like him or go for the fashion looks he goes for. Kit is more generic attractive to me, and goes for standard outfits more of the time. Nothing wrong with that and he suits them well, but a fairly built 6 foot teen heartthrob isn’t anything too new. An openly gay, very angular and skinny twink who wears bold and more daring looks to a lot of events stands out more and is more memorable. Obviously there’s Timothee but Joe being actually gay is at least to me part of his appeal.

by Anonymousreply 219February 3, 2023 11:45 AM

R219 Also the sexiness Kit is good looking but does not really register as sexy certainly to me whereas both Joe and Bash are attractive young openly gay men with sexual charisma and sluttiness radiating off them. Do not underestimate how hot that is to guys I find it distractingly so. It is also part of what the uptight twitter girls find so offensive while they can project purity onto Kit.

If Kit wants to up his game he is really going to have to shock his puritan fangirls which personally I am all for

Probably a combo of kit actually being a softy and friendly, and Joe being a little bitch (said with nothing but affection). Joe seems genuinely very sweet but completely willing to go to the mat for people he loves. The blocking that girl and pink news for bash is a pretty clear sign of that.

R344 He also said something along the lines of being a lot like Charlie but nowhere near as nice. He seems a decent and kind hearted young man but always felt like he has sharp enough edges and would give it back in bucketloads if he could especially when it comes to his loved ones. The irony is if anything Bash gives even bigger softy vibes than Kit and may well look past even the amount of shit he has been put through. I do not think Joe will ever forget or forgive them.

In the cast bitch wars my money would be on Joe winning hands down

by Anonymousreply 346February 6, 2023 3:53 PM

Pret probably appreciates that Joe deleted his Twitter. (This is a joke, Joe's bitchy side cracks me up.) Kit's gone to bat for people he cares about (Joe, Sof) and he's also been a bit bitchy on social media, but it's charming the same way it is with Joe. Bitchy but not A Bitch.

by Anonymousreply 347February 6, 2023 3:56 PM

Yeah, it’s quite funny cos Joe seems like the more sassy one, but Kit has been way more combative on social media. It seems like maybe he’s more easily hurt and will semi lash out, whereas Joe has a bit more self control to just keep his thoughts non-public.

by Anonymousreply 348February 6, 2023 4:11 PM

R346 I think there’s a tad of self deprecation in saying he’s a lot less nice. Kit was really insistent in one interview that Joe was a lot like Charlie and led with the fact that he’s really nice. My guess is he’s snarky and a little bitchy as part of his sense of humour but very very loyal. He immediately had Kit’s back every time about the queerbaiting, and the Bash stuff is obvious.

R347 when has he gone to bat for Joe? To be clear, not shitting on Kit. Think him and Joe have a really nice and supportive friendship from everything they’ve said, I think the instances you mention probably just slipped my mind

R351 I wouldn't say he quite stood up for Joe with the ugly/gay thing on Twitter - he just replied with 'primary school flashbacks' or something. He did mention in one solo interview that he finds it hard/confusing when people watch Heartstopper and then make negative comments (he mentioned Joe's appearance as an example). I can't really think of any other times that he's specifically stood up for Joe. Again, it's a case of Joe sticking up for Kit more on social media (just like he thirst comments more), but Kit likely doing the same away from social media.

by Anonymousreply 356February 6, 2023 4:54 PM

R348 I would not describe what Kit has done on social media as combative at all more emotional reactions with a bit of a snarky edge. He seems less good at hiding his emotions and more sensitive but the opposite of confrontational. No disrespect there is different kinds of strength and he clearly has some to have survived this past year on an even keel.

But Joe must have some next level toughness to him to have come through what he and Bash have had thrown at them still standing. I think having each other and loving supportive family and friends obviously helps but I also think he is better at holding it in when he definitely gives fighter vibes. Like you say I suspect he has learned next level self control and has posted less openly because he knows if he starts saying anything he is just going to let rip and it will not be good for him in the long run. Selective blocking has actually been a very powerful tool that lead to disproportionate rage from those wanting an emotional reaction because he is making a silent point while giving nothing of himself for others to latch onto.

He has basically learned to be supremely good at controlled and righteous anger which is impressive for his age.

He is also definitely a bitch in the best and truest sense of the word

R354 You really give yourselves away when anything that suggests Kit is not the literal godhead of perfection is posted. This is an adult conversation where observations are made about three dimensional complex human beings often in a light hearted or throwaway manner and no one is attacking you personally by pointing out Kit Doesn’t Defend Joe Publicly. He doesn’t. None of the cast do it is clearly a collective decision not to give oxygen to bullies and emotional parasites and not a reflection of their character or the strength of their friendships.

If you feel so emotional at a reasonable and neutral comment about someone you don’t even know that you have to react you need to grow up or just head back to twitter

They’re different people with different styles. Kit repeatedly talks about how supportive he’s found Joe during this weird time and is pretty vocal about their friendship these days and Joe clearly thinks Kit is wonderful and will always take an opportunity to talk about it. Also, they’re English men, the fact they can talk about the way they feel about each other at all is impressive.

I actually get a slightly catty sense of humour from both of them towards each other. Which is exactly how I am with my friends and is the way queer men who adore each other (as friends) have interacted since the dawn of time. I think the way Kit was recorded saying darling says a lot about their friendship and it’s pretty gay.

by Anonymousreply 367February 6, 2023 6:38 PM

I say this with Joe as my absolute favourite in the cast but expecting everyone to be as gung ho or fierce in defending people they care about as him isn’t realistic or fair in terms of personality type.

Also, do think there’s likely an element of him not actually wanting people to engage with the shit that’s said about him. Aside from the initial tweet about being called ugly, he’s kept the stuff that’s upset him under wraps aside from the GQ article. Clearly it affects him but he chooses not to make it public. Putting Kit aside, clearly bash is obsessed with him and I’m sure would defend or back him if he ever wanted to confront some of the ridiculous hate he gets publicly. They’re both (plus the cast) silent on it. Joe backs Kit more publicly, but Kit has also posted a lot more publicly (I think 3 tweets alluding to the queerbaiting stuff pre coming out plus the Sof tweet). Joe isn’t tweeting at random about how Kit deserves better, it’s responsive to what Kit says himself. Joe keeps his cards closer to his chest. Kit and Bash or anyone else can’t exactly tweet at random about how unfair it is he’s called ugly or hated on, that would be weird.

Speaking of S2 and related to the poll question, I seriously can't imagine S2 not coming out by summer at the latest. Not saying the cast doesn't deserve a break, but HS is such a quick watch show and Alice is not giving new content, so I could see fans kind of moving on rather quickly to other things, they already are somewhat. I'm sure a lot will pick it right back up, but a big part of the reason the show got so popular with fans was cast interaction and those are just not happening anymore.. Like R370 said I'm assuming everything going forward will be pretty polished. Things like the vlogs are going to be completely boring.

Do wonder how many people will move on to Red, White & Royal Blue, which is coming out this year too.

The guy from hot ones tends to have some interesting questions for his guest. I don’t think HS is anywhere close to being popular enough in the US to have Kit or Joe on.

As things are extremely slow here - what are people's wishlists for shows/promo that the cast do this time round?

As I've said before, I'd absolutely love them to do Bake Off. A Heartstopper Bake Off charity special would be really great - lighthearted, nothing controversial. Graham Norton is an obvious one. Agree with R373 that Hot Ones would be hilarious, but unlikely. I think something like Vogue or Cosmo does a 'friendship test' of actors where they do funny challenges like trust falls, complimenting each other etc. Would love to see Joe and Kit do that. Puppy interview is an obvious one. Is Celebrity Juice still a thing? If so, that would be hilarious. Also an interview with Ali Plumb because he's my favourite interviewer - he really puts famous people at ease without trying too hard.

Basically just stuff where the cast are relaxed and having a laugh, rather than sitting there stiffly answering the same questions.

I also have the (semi unfounded) opinion that he’s not nearly as traumatised by it as people think. He clearly included himself in the queer community in the GQ interview, conducted months before he came out, casually included himself in the bi community in an interview a few weeks after the tweet, and as r387 says has been casually using queer since. I think the tweet was the result of very understandable exasperation and frustration, and use of the word “outing” was apt given the trolls were very shitty, but more used to speak to the fact that the constant pestering and trolling forces people to say it whether or not they want to, rather than him specifically not wanting to come out.

R397 That's a really good find. Let's see how long it takes to filter out from here. With Nick's storyline being beefed up like this plus all of Charlie's storyline coming up, Isaac is going to have about 2 minutes to realize he's aroace.

by Anonymousreply 399February 7, 2023 12:35 AM

R399 I really hope Charlie doesn’t end up the villain because he puts Nick through it. His story line is he only one in the comic that really stands out to me (Nick’s coming out is much more quickly resolved) and Joe would be great in those emotional scenes (particularly as a lot of it has become pretty real to his life in terms of bullying and no doubt the consequences of that). Charlie is unintentionally cruel a few times because he’s sick and damaged. I hope the teens can understand the importance of his story and not just view him as a roadblock to Nick’s happiness.

I really wish that this is the case too, but I already know that some people are going to make it about Nick regardless of how well Alice writes and develops Charlies storyline further. Especially with the scene where Nick and his mom talk about Charlie at the beach

by Anonymousreply 401February 7, 2023 1:30 AM

I think the fanbase will likely make it about Nick because he and Kit are their favourite but the press and award shows will be much fairer. That was the way even in S1, that based on Twitter you’d think Kit was the solo star but then publications and awards shows always nominated both

by Anonymousreply 402February 7, 2023 1:33 AM

It's just how the fanbase it. They are gonna make everything about Nick. Every thing Charlie goes through they only see it through the lens of how does it make Nick feel. Even Charlie getting SA was about being made about Nick's feelings and not Charlie's

by Anonymousreply 403February 7, 2023 1:37 AM

If they do the beach scene, either that or the coming out to his dad scene will be Kit’s Emmy scene. I wish we knew a little bit about if and how Charlie’s storyline is being shuffled. With no information, right now I would wager that Charlie reading the letter to his parents might be Joe’s Emmy scene.

by Anonymousreply 404February 7, 2023 1:40 AM

I wonder if Netflix pushed for a more Nick centric storyline. They seem to love Joe but Kit is the golden goose. Though I don’t know about out in the real world. DL loves both, Twitter has the tingles for Kit only, but it seems like lots of people just liked the show and probably wouldn’t know either of their names if Kit hadn’t be forced to out himself (and even then he might just be the ginger kid from that show)

by Anonymousreply 405February 7, 2023 1:50 AM

R404 my guess is Joe will have a scene or two of just him struggling with depression. I get they’ll keep the show pretty PG and aren’t going to show self harm but Joe was really good at and got a lot of praise for his crying and hurt scenes last season, and a scene of him dealing with depression or struggling is good Emmy material. My guess is it’s a combo of Netflix wanting more Nick/Kit and Alice genuinely needing to move up the storyline to make 3 seasons work. Again, think Kit is great and don’t have the same complex some Joe fans do that charlie is the “only main character” but think Kit got the stronger scenes last season teeing him up for the Emmy, and wish Joe got that chance this season with an equally strong S3 to finish them out

by Anonymousreply 406February 7, 2023 1:58 AM

R405 I mean, Kit is the most popular in the cast by pretty much every measurable metric but I think it’s not so much Netflix demanding more of Kit as it is Alice needing to speed run through the stories if she has one less season to work with than she was expecting.

by Anonymousreply 407February 7, 2023 2:15 AM

I actually just remembered, when the actor playing Nick's brother was announced and Jenny commented on his Instagram, I had suspected at the time that the big Nelson/Spring dinner was happening this season. She left a comment referencing the bit in the comic where Tori kicks and breaks Nick's brother's phone. I figured that if they both understand that reference there was a good chance it was less because they read the comic and more because it was in their scripts.

by Anonymousreply 408February 7, 2023 2:24 AM

R407 no shade at all. Kit was great in the show and has incredible reach across most platforms, and the media (obviously his image is often used rather than both them, for awards and articles - and honestly I don’t think there is a problem with that, he just is more recognisable). Observation only that Netflix might think more nick equals more hours rewatched. That might mean some of Joe’s more meaningful possible scenes don’t make it or involve more kit. All of this is absolutely speculation and for all I know kit and joe will get half the airtime and we will have to watch four hours of Isacc coming to terms with the fact he doesn’t want to fuck

by Anonymousreply 409February 7, 2023 2:31 AM

R409 the major issue I have with just Kit’s image being used is they use that truly bizarre screenshot of him with a pink tint from Charlie’s daydream. Weird ass choice. I think the promo pic or the two of them at the desk or the drums makes the most sense for the show, but a pic of Nick looking at Charlie during the running scene in episode 1 or something would be better than that

by Anonymousreply 410February 7, 2023 2:39 AM

R410 hate that pink image and hate that scene. It also sells the show as something as far more juvenile than it is. Kit is barely 17 there and it absolutely shows in his face.

There’s also the one of them at the table looking at Nick’s phone (presumably the Nellie scene), and Joe is there but he’s angled almost completely towards Kit. That gets used a lot and it always makes me laugh. Honestly, a lot of the two of them together are kind of shit of Joe and he’s probably better off without them being used. That drum image is really the best of both of them

Back with more random shit I found.

[quote]When it came to Heartstopper, “that was an insane – and then exhilarating – first season and it’s paying off enormously,” Edwards continues. Returning for S2, “you still have to deliver but it’s more exciting. The pressure is off and you’re able to just be a little bit more creative and bring in new, exciting people. We get emails every single day from around the world, from teenagers and young people and older people – and huge celebrities wanting to have cameos.”

Wonder who the celebs are?

[quote]The industry’s responsibility now, Edwards says, is to make stars of queer actors, disabled actors and those from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds so that, over the next decade, there will be actors from a range of different backgrounds who can sell shows around the world. “Joe Locke, Kit Connor and Yasmin Finney are becoming those people,” he says. “We have a responsibility for a little bit of positive discrimination to find those stars from those communities, get them in shows like Heartstopper and make that show successful. Then that will help change the narrative later on.”

Liked this bit.

Nice that the cast is all being sweet about it in the comments. Guessing Joe is working and Bash’s social media break continues (especially as the game came out today). This is going to sound more backhanded than it’s meant to but their interview really shows that Kit and Joe are quite charismatic. Her video is fairly dull and while to be fair the questions are hardly cutting edge, Joe and Kit pull off giving the same answer 100 times with more charisma.

From day 1 he said he knew and was comfortable, just didn’t think he owed it to anyone to be public about it.

R431 People who think anyone cares passionately about anything other than Nick and Charlie are delusional. There is some interest in Tao/Elle/Darcy/Tara, but no one ever discusses Isaac's storyline. Ever.

R444 She would have been better off not saying anything. Full-body cringed at her going on about it being "anti-Heartstopper," a kid outing himself because of external pressure and having his coming out be so widespread that the tweet hits a million likes and is part of the discourse to this day (was mentioned in The New York Times not even 2 days ago) shouldn't be reduced to a contrast against your little graphic novels.

R431 I have spent more time than I care to admit observing the freak show that is the Heartstopper online fandom and I can promise you absolutely that no one but a tiny core of the most uptight fangirls gives a fuck about Isaac and his asexual storyline and even they are clearly only paying occasional virtuous lip service to it to earn morality kudos with their equally uptight peers. I would say 95% of the interest is Nick and Charlie the other 5% shared between Tara, Darcy, Tao and Elle.

It seems likely Alice has invested way too much focus on her sycophantic online feedback loop and I only hope that Netflix, Euros and Patrick have reigned her in a bit or this could go south quite badly.

R435 This is actually inexcusable I witnessed what Mason did to Bash for days and how they invited the most hateful elements of twitter to keep attacking him as well as attacking and inviting pile ins to young fans who challenged it. And then unfollowed the whole cast except Yaz (or maybe they all blocked them?) I did not think much of Alice before but she has a nerve bemoaning what happened to Kit and at the same time encouraging a nasty piece of work like that who behaved in such an irrationally hateful way to other young cast members.

I will be interested to see if she remains as close to Joe and Bash as before because Joe especially does not seem to forgive these things easily

I have no time for them at all and liking Mason’s comment is a slap in the face to Bash but I can’t help think it’s just because they’re clueless or even has a misguided notion that if they’re nice to Mason he will leave Bash alone.

R462 I say this as nicely as possible because I don’t want to put Yaz on Alice’s level of annoying, but Yaz also said her Doctor Who character would change the world and I’ve seen no signs of that. Just making an assertion that it’s in a big way or will change the world means nothing. It’ll likely be the storyline of an episode with Isaac explaining what it is in an after school special way. I would say close to 0 percent chance netflix allowed it to have more attention than that.

R461 don’t think her reasoning is as nice as all that, more likely just a “well not all my friends have to like one another!” Which is technically true, but Mason was extremely nasty and if Bash had a mate who said something even as mild as “Heartstopper isn’t my cup of tea”, Alice would probably expect Bash to block him on every platform.

Not saying aroace people wouldn’t have people being dicks to them, but I think the difficulties of Tori realising she’s into Michael romantically but not sexually would be more interesting and probably more relatable.

by Anonymousreply 476February 7, 2023 11:58 PM

R476 I am guessing her thinking is similar to keeping Aled out of Heartstopper so she can adapt his story separately. Tori was her original autobiographical character I can see her wanting to adapt her full story in another project as well and has therefore used Isaac’s character to shoehorn asexuality into Heartstopper instead.

The biggest risk is making it a poorly acted add on to the already crowded side arcs and it being badly received by critics or audience which could actually knock the possibility of proper asexual representation back. With her current success picking up other adaptions would be pretty certain a misstep here in her haste to make asexuality the big deal when realistically the majority of the audience are only interested in Nick and Charlie could lead to the assumption asexuality won’t hold an audience in any circumstance and networks backing off.

On every level I really hope she is just talking up it’s importance and in reality it is no more than a ten minute side step

by Anonymousreply 477February 8, 2023 12:43 AM

Right now, I'm kind of assuming that it'll be like the Tara/Darcy stuff at most, meaning that there's a little bit here and there but only one episode deals with it substantially.

Things that are (presumably) being covered this season, off the top of my head:

Charlie's deteriorating mental health

Nick's relationship with his father, coming out to him

Nick and Charlie coming out to the school?

Their relationship, generally (including stuff like Nick being jealous of James)

Their families mingling together

Tao and Elle getting together

Whatever Elle's stuff is with her friends

Something with a Tao flashback, could be Tao-centric or we may be seeing little Charlie along with him?

Isaac's aroace stuff, maybe involving James?

Does James have his own shit? Probably not?

Imogen? Ben? Did they work on the show long enough for this to be substantial, especially if Rhea was (I think) still in school and maybe working on that other show as well? And Bash wasn't seen on location as often as the rest when they were in Paris?

Sahar joining the group, though I don't think that'll require anymore more than Tara/Darcy/Elle saying that she's a friend from Higgs or whatever

R478 Agree - and that honestly sounds like a lot less Nick Charlie content even if those arcs are short. I mean, I’ll watch it regardless (4 hours isn’t a huge burden) but I’m only there for Kit and Joe. If it was longer I wouldn’t bother sitting through a bunch of side stories with some pretty average acting

by Anonymousreply 480February 8, 2023 1:06 AM

R478 I’m guessing the Tao flashback is him and/or Charlie realizing or finding out that he outed Charlie accidentally by talking too loudly about it in school. In the comics tao still doesn’t know Nick and Charlie are together which obviously isn’t the case in the show, but it’s a source of minor conflict and guilt between them. Then Charlie passes out and Tao comes to see how he is, apologize, and tell Charlie he kissed Elle and they make up. There’s a set pic from Paris of Joe and Will hugging on the bridge so I’m guessing they’ve adapted that plotline a bit for the show and that’s the point of the flashback.

Imogen and Ben being together seems like a given but random thought; might be something they tee up at the end of the season as a plotline that will unfold in S3. So basically an adaptation of the Solitaire storyline where Ben dates Tori’s mate (here Imogen instead), Charlie and Nick feel uneasy about it but don’t want to out him, Ben is paranoid anyway and attacks Charlie because he’s sure he outed him and Nick and Tori have to pull him off. Solitaire takes place after HS chronologically so they might just save that part of the storyline for S3 and have Ben and Imogen get together at the end of S2 to set that up

R483 I'm hoping that Nick's brother and dad being around (the dad more than I was expecting) means we also get more Olivia this season. At least Kit and Joe will get to work with the adult actors more this season versus the weaker kid actors. I don't think I've seen the actor playing Nick's brother in anything, but fingers crossed that he's at least on par with Jenny.

R489 oh, I thought that might just be an old headshot. Good lord, these storylines all better be short as shit. I’d still be shocked if the storyline wasn’t at least 2/3 Nick and Charlie and 1/3 at most everyone else, with a focus on Tao and Elle. They’re the best and most awarded actors with Yaz and the trans rep the next most praised. They landed Netflix attention for MOTY, Kit’s coming out, Joe getting Marvel, and Yaz on the cover of British Vogue. They’ll let Alice include other small storylines but the amount of whining she has done about how hard S2 was for her makes me think she didn’t get full control to do every side character story arc she wanted.

by Anonymousreply 491February 8, 2023 1:27 AM

R491 the Tao Elle stuff will be awful. Not because it isn’t interesting. Navigating sex v gender in a hetero relationship is a hell of a plot. But Yaz and Will are not great screen actors and have fuck all chemistry. They do look great together but otherwise they seemed totally unbelievable

R492 I don't know, I kind of saw it for them in that deleted scene and their stuff at the very end of the show wasn't that terrible. It's obviously not going to be anywhere as good as the chemistry Joe and Kit had, but they're not totally unbelievable. Not sure how popular or unpopular an opinion this is, but to me the two that didn't really work chemistry-wise were Cori and Kizzy.

Honestly, I agree with you in that I don't see the show being considerably less Nick and Charlie-centric, especially with what we know and have seen right now. Plus, Kit and Joe both seemed to have worked the longest by a considerable margin.

R493 I agree Tara and Darcy don’t have much chemistry, though the party kiss scene was decent, but I think Will and Yaz have very little chemistry due in large part to Yaz. She is as wooden as they come. She’s decent at giving Will interested looks so maybe if they keep the Louvre scene nonverbal, as it is in the comics. While I thought they were both two of the weakest actors in S1, i at least believed Will’s friendship chemistry with Joe and Tobie. I didn’t buy Yaz’s chemistry with anyone, and Dr. Who and Mars didn’t do much to change that

by Anonymousreply 495February 8, 2023 1:52 AM

Unpopular opinion - the deleted scene was just okay and is really overpraised by the Twitter teens. Will proved himself a bit more in it but I thought if they weren’t totally cuddled up the chemistry was still pretty ordinary. Yaz gives nothing as soon as she opens her mouth. Non verbal she’s okay

Update on Joe and Kit’s Instagram numbers. Joe is 11,943 followers away from 3.6 million, Kit is 14,813 away from 4.9 million. They’re both still steadily gaining followers daily.

Poor Bash. Every time he gets close to 2 million he loses followers.

Joe and Kit lose followers sometimes the time but both have a net positive. Yaz and Will both lost tons of followers this month, way more than Bash

by Anonymousreply 512February 8, 2023 3:24 AM

R506 I doubt he got actually reprimanded - my guess is he’s being set up as the next Tom Holland. Tom got extremely popular off the back of accidental minor spoilers which were exciting for fans and endearing but after a while it was pretty clear that there was probably some PR involvement there (for instance he “accidentally” revealed things like the movie poster). Basically revealing minor things that are no big deal to marvel and spoil none of the plot but drum up fan excitement and love for the spoiling actor.

Given wiccan is extremely powerful and very likely a major player in the next 7-10 years of Marvel, but is also young skinny and gay which isn’t exactly the typical hero type, making him a new “oops minor spoiler” conduit would be smart.

Not to derail the conversation, but in looking at all of the Instagram profiles it cracks me up how (rightfully) defensive we all are about Joe/Kit/Bash when it comes to Alice having left them to the wolves...meanwhile Connor Jessup is being so effusive about her.

R510 with zero desire to attack kit for this or thinking there’s anything wrong with it, it’s a truly excellent example of how things in the fandom are only “problematic” if the teenage fans aren’t horny for the (gay) actors, aka Joe and bash. A Cuban Girl’s Guide is getting turned into an Argentinian Girl’s Guide. No issue with it personally but not any different from Joe playing jewish (ethnicity swapping) and yet kit and Maia are fine. The His Dark Materials author is Islamaphobic - Kit signed on underage and can’t just get out of the contract. Again I agree but no such analysis for Bash and JKR. Then kit clearly having a non-white type from the people he’s dated and been openly horny for. If it was Bash or Joe they’d be called racist creeps. Obviously I think it’s fine. I like Kit a lot to be clear and think all the above would be comical to be cancelled over but it hasn’t escaped me that he’s gotten zero flack for it while Joe and Bash are functionally called nazis.

by Anonymousreply 516February 8, 2023 3:33 AM

R516 As a Latino, fandom bullshit aside, I gotta tell you that nationality swaps aren’t really comparable to ethnicity swaps. Our histories are wildly different to the history of Jewish people, and that informs why we don’t really care about that kind of thing in the same way as Jewish people do and why the Cuban author of the book was fine with that change.

by Anonymousreply 517February 8, 2023 3:58 AM

Do you, by any chance, think reverse racism is a thing R516? Because there absolutely is a double standard when it comes to Kit but uh, Kit being called a racist because his taste is diverse, which is the opposite of racist, would be extremely weird?

by Anonymousreply 519February 8, 2023 4:09 AM

R517 i mean I have seen a few Cuban people upset about it but I agree it is distinct. However my point was made in a broader context if you actually read the entire comment. I promise you if kit was wiccan and Bash was the love interest in Cuban Girls Guide the HS fan outrage would be directed very differently. Again, not Kit’s fault and I think “outrage” directed at him or Maia OR Joe over these decisions is absurd. Get mad at the producers or Marvel, not the teen actors. Making this a 1 for 1 ignores the point.

R518 nah, I think kit is fine for his type and don’t know what you think you’re catching me out on. There’s a social media trend to call people they don’t like who are not into white people fetishizers. Look up diplo fetishizer and you’ll see what I mean. If your type is “not white” and they don’t like you, they’ll decide you’re a racist who is projecting onto nonwhite people some stereotype. Again, I don’t think I could’ve been much clearer that I think calling kit out for any of the above would be absurd. Just that if it was Joe or bash, the hypersensitive, insane HS Twitter fans would find s way being into nonwhite people or being in a film swapping Latino ethnicities shows they’re racist and evil

by Anonymousreply 520February 8, 2023 4:09 AM

It's not his fault, but Kit gets praised for taking pictures with black people, including his costars, the standards are just are different for him. I never thought I'd see the day someone used "he has black friends!" as a positive, but here we are.

by Anonymousreply 521February 8, 2023 4:12 AM

R519 I get that, my main point there isn’t that every Jewish person cares as much as it is that the reason WHY the Jewish people that care do care is distinct. It’s an apples-to-oranges thing, and that’s without getting into the specific history of comics and Jewish people in the United States.

But that’s not something a Manx teenager of all people is responsible or accountable for, that falls on Disney and Marvel. Joe’s an actor doing a job and, in my opinion, expecting actors to have analogous life experiences in regard to the roles they’re playing would defeat the purpose of acting.

by Anonymousreply 522February 8, 2023 4:17 AM

R521 yeah, that’s pretty much what I meant. Tweet linked below as an example. It’s cool with me kit doesn’t seem into white people. I have a type as well and don’t tend to be into super pale white peoples, most of my boyfriends have been Mediterranean or POC, I’m mixed Korean and Italian, and Joe and Kit are two of the only “white boys” beside that I find attractive. No issue with Kit being into POC, it’s all good and same here. Just saying if that was clearly bash’s type these psychos would probably say he’s projecting femininity and subservience onto them or something insane

R583 normally I wouldn’t even guess Joe for NYFW necessarily but he followed Zak from GQ just the other day, and the timing makes me think Bash will go too, just because Valentine’s is next week and they’re clingy and Will want to do it together. Guessing Yaz and Kit and Will are most likely to pop up at some London Fashion Week event. Some of the others might get invites to smaller events or afterparties. I know Rhea is really into eco friendly stuff so maybe if there’s some small designer linked to that.

R587 I go back and forth on the Zak follow because I'm not sure if it's related to something coming up or if it's a late follow from the GQ MOTY cover.

Someone in the Bash thread pointed out that Bash liked Ty Tennant's IG post form a couple days ago so he might actually slowly be coming back to social media (very slowly since he didn't like Alice's post, which is nice).

I don't expect Yaz or Will to go to NY. Both were just there.

R587 I wouldn’t be shocked if Bash travels with Joe, but is he taking a break from going to events? I can’t tell if the lack of activity is self-imposed and for how long it’ll go on for.

R587 that’s a fair point. Him following the lead of Hadestown and then not seeing it with his mum last weekend still makes me think he’ll go this weekend plus Zak wasn’t the style editor who styled them for GQ, but fair point it could just be a belated follow

Zak seems to have a lot of time for Joe. He’s written a bunch of stuff about Joe’s style and when Kit was getting pretty frenzied attention (say August/Sept before he came out) Zak was still pumping out stories about Joe. Might just be Joe bored sending some love his way

R592 maybe he’s horny for him. He should join DL.

Almost at 600 posts. Next poll should ask who will show up at NYFW from the cast

RR93 well yes, I assume irl gay men are all over him. Probably why Bash has such a tight grip on his waist

Despite the fact that almost nothing is happening, it’s impressive that we’ve filled up another thread.

R585 Definitely is the OSKF they (or she?) keeps popping up trying to drag twitter bullshit over here and really cannot hold it in if they perceive any slight against Kit. Very transparent but best to ignore and move on after lingering briefly on the happy thought of those 14 hours in Brazil

All of you should shut the fuck up about Twitter, the last thing we need is a repeat of yesterday.
