#the show's messaging paints any attempts other than being a virgin and marrying the socially acceptable way as a futile endeavor

Every time I see advertisements for the third season of Bridgerton I'm forever thankful I gave up that liberal covid escapism show after season 2 when I realized that we were actually supposed to be rooting for the main character who exposed a black pregnant teenager and a feminist activist, and that there would be no lasting consequence for that because this show is really all about preserving social order and maintaining the nuclear family. why look at class segregation when you can look at these shirtless colonizers.

#bridgerton #marina thompson #eloise bridgerton #r.i.p. marina you were my favourite 😭 #it's kind of shocking how i used to talk to my family about this show and they're like oh yeah i really like penelope #i didn't like marina and eloise penelope was right to do what she did 👀👀👀 #like the social order and nuclear family ideals are really that embedded into us and then we wonder why the tradwife trend is #suddenly gaining popularity #also eloise the lesbian coded character looks doomed to marry that guy who wants someone to take care of his kids so he can plant all day #the show's messaging paints any attempts other than being a virgin and marrying the socially acceptable way as a futile endeavor #colourblindness and centrism- the show at its' core #man i must have been really starved for content during quarantine because like what was i thinking how did i like this trash??? 😭
