Hi Hate Anon!
I didn’t post your ask, because I’m not interested in giving you direct space on my tumblr.
However I did want to say a few things.
First of all, I don’t think that Colin is unsexy, I just don’t think they needed to make him a rake to make him sexy.
In fact, I kind of hate the Rake x Virgin romance trope.
I don’t know if you actually read my posts because the anon ask didn’t make it seem like you did, but if you read my posts and my one and only Bridgerton fic you would know that my particular soap box about this silly show is the way it mishandles sex education.
Personally, I hate the Rake x Virgin trope because of all the ways that it can lead to sexual assault. A person’s first and usually only sexual partner should NOT be the one teaching that person about sex. There is just too much danger there.
Plus - and I know this is me very foolishly complaining about historical inaccuracies in the historical inaccuracy show - but I really don’t understand where the show got the idea that all men of high society were Rakes.
The Prince Regent in this time period was a rake and the public kind of despised him.
The Rake is a figure that is traditionally a villain - a character that cares more about his own sexual pleasure than the social and physical safety of the women he seduces.
It is wild to me that the show seems to think that the only way you can make a leading man sexy is by showing him to be a Rake.
Realistically Colin shouldn’t be feeling social pressure to carelessly sleep around.
Like aside from anything else all the older Bridgerton Boys should, if the show was historically accurate, have syphillis.
Finally, if you had read my fic you would have come across my recreation of the Anthony & Colin “I should have taken you to brothels” scene, and in my version Colin calls Anthony out for being misogynistic.
In other words, I hate the fact they took my respectful king and turned him into a man that would compromise the woman he loves.
And before the book lovers come for me about disparaging the carriage scene. I don’t care. I haven’t read the books. I will not read the books (especially with the amount of sexual assault that is framed as sexy and romantic in those books). I do not care about the books.
I am taking the show on its own terms and the show has proven to be lazy and paint by numbers to the extent that they couldn’t imagine the audience finding a respectful king romantic and sexy so made him a rake. (I know he doesn’t want to be a rake in the show, again I do not care I am not talking about the story in universe I am talking about what likely happened on a production level)

compiling a far from comprehensive list of palestinian fundraisers i'm aware of that are far from their goal (less than 25% raised) and/or stagnating. i will try to update this post at least every couple days - please check the op for updates.
if you can donate at least USD $15 (€14, CAD $20, kr160, £12) and dm me proof, i'll offer a colored sketch commission akin to these drawings (more details here). [EDIT: not accepting new donation comms at the moment until i've worked through my backlog; check back in a week or two!]
even if you're not able to donate that much or at all, please share, and follow the links to the fundraisers - there's much more important information for each one than i'm able to quickly compile into one list.
