"Romance with a Chubby ? What next ? I predict that Benedict will have an Asian or a trans woman as his next love interest ! No, I'm kidding, I don't watch that crap."
I don't know what annoys me most about this comment. Fatphobia, racism, transphobia ? Or all 3 at the same time ?
A woman of strong build cannot be entitled to a beautiful romance according to this person ? An Asian woman and a trans woman either ? No because clearly, this person's concern is definitely not historical consistency (and those who continue to complain about it look really stupid because the series has very clearly assumed to be an uchronia since season 1), otherwise the description linked to Penelope's weight would not have been part of it.
What's the point of commenting on something like this under the season 3 trailer, frankly ?!
And for the record, yes, I hope Benedict's romantic interest Sophie is played by an Asian woman.
Other than that, I loved the trailer. Seeing Kanthony more in love than ever and Polin finally getting together is going to be an absolute delight.

Julia Quinn, The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons, #2)
Anthony Bridgerton... You just spent a morning in bed with this woman, not counting the 6 months you spent on your honeymoon, and above all, you're in front of your fucking family ! Would a little outfit be too much to ask ?! His hands ! His fucking hands are on his ass, my god !
From one leading lady to another, Simone Ashley shares some of her favorite memories creating Kanthony's love story and prepares Nicola Coughlan for Polin's upcoming season 🩷 💚
"Kate is the head of the household now as viscountess," says Simone Ashley. "Kate's always had a lot of strength in her vulnerability, and her softness as well as her fierceness, and I still think we see that.
[But also] she's very humbled by her position as viscountess and really honored to be a part of it. I think she just wants to be able to depend on the family as much as they depend on her."
