Watch the 3 part video in the whole thread before clicking on Read More for my thoughts!
Also some context: Some idiot really paid her on Cameo to say Pen was right and Marina was wrong. She took his money and gave us this masterpiece with receipts and clearing him!
First off I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that she took his money and ran as she should. I was initially sad she wasn't gonna be in S3 and won't be getting grovel from Pen. Now it means she's off contract and she can officially speak up and gave us this amazing video
It's the way she's validating every single thing I've been saying on this blog ever since Marina got screwed over. Girlie came in and laid down the law I love it
My fave quotes:
"[Pen] is snide and snakey"
"You can't Disneyify a dickhead"
"Go get a Cameo from Nicola if you want an alternative point of view"
"Anyone who thinks otherwise of this, is kidding themselves"
Then to end off with: "Remember it's a TV show, it's not that deep" QUEEEN SHIT
I am SO fucking glad she's speaking up about this after NC being a dickhead abt Marina on her socials and driving her fans to hate on Ruby the last few years. So glad she's feels free and safe enough to talk about this now
Thinking back to a previous post that I made in regards to "weird" things in the fandom (e.g. hating on an actor for playing a character in a love triangle, making it seem like your ship is more important than a real life person), and as I watch Ruby Barker's three part videos on Twitter I see my point is proven, again. I'm happy that she not only spoke her truth but also called out how a fan literally paid her to say Marina was wrong and Penelope was right. Like I can't make this up. Mind you, some of these same fans sent Ruby so much hate as well, over a damn tv show. These are not some silly arguments had within fandom when it reaches this point, nor should it ever reach this point.
Women of colour in the Bridgerton fandom + the actresses receive so much hate and it's so tiring. the antibrown and blackness in this fandom is insane - noticed some come from fans who baby the white characters and like to turn the characters of colour into character villains or hypersexualise or fetishize.
