This gay shit is ridiculous. I’m sick of seeing it on TV. This gay stuff is programming our children’s minds and I’m tired of hearing about it now I got a fucking TV show about it
these celebrities love virtue signaling when they are the first to bash right wingers or people who does not like modern hollywood, the entitlement is horrible
1:01 obsessed with how he pronounced "Francois"
Connor is behind it 😂just kidding
Good for them. People need to learn boundaries ❤️
Is this a thing? Is this a thing to report? How do you define hate? I think it's fine to not like a character or actor. There is a line and perhaps some just cross it? But if fans are actually trying to pit them against each other, then those fans should really find another hobby or enjoy real life.
HEAVY ON PARASOCIALLL YOU DONT KNOW THEM PERSONALLY!!!
My Game Changers ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I hope Connor Storrie continues to not to feed into this mess.
When this show came out, I just kept hoping that the fandom would not turn toxic or become parasocial parasites. Because the entire cast only deserves praise and respect. But no. We live in societies full with people who have deep psychological issues and no self control. They have to spoil everything.
In the industry, a lead actor's power is built on mystery and professional distance. You don't climb down into the mud to argue with a heckler because doing so levels the playing field—it elevates the troll to the status of a co-star and makes the actor look small. By engaging in a social media war, a performer trades their poise for a seat in the comments section, proving that anonymous junk has the power to rattle them. True professional longevity isn't found in having the last word; it’s found in being so focused on the work that you never even hear the noise.
Those who make inappropriate comments must be denounced and banned. They are not fans of the show.
To MM. HUDSON and ARNAUD : we love You ❤
You ET was part of the problem bye
Well I'll go with Connor because he did something special all to himself.😁😁😁 But to Hudson AND Francois???? Uh-uh!😠😠 These two Canadians send them a message and including the R word! If Hudson and Francois were Liam Neeson, they should've stop saying the R word because I'll let them three knows what time it is. PERIOD!
Get a life and these great people alone.
I love the show. I think it’s an awesome TV show love all the characters. I love a good gay romance. I will admit a more of books than I am movies and TV but I love the show everybody’s fantastic and I think love is love and it doesn’t matter me one damn bit if it’s two men in love or two women in love just so much is it’s a good story with good characters and a good plot you know and that’s awesome to me. Plus it’s a bonus if they’re extremely hot too, lol but I usually pretty much fully support the alphabet gain community. There is cringe and there is things that I disagree with but for the most part I support them I don’t wanna go into what I don’t support cause those are whole other issues but but for two consenting adults who love each other and make each other happy I supported completely.❤ I am counting the days until season two can’t freaking wait.❤
It is sad when fans don't realize that there is a difference between a performer and the performance. Kind of like all the cyberbullying Kit Connor got from so called allies demanding that he come out–such comments are so anti-queer–it is like they don't even understand the point of these stories that coming out can be difficult and should be on one's own timeline…such people are not really fans, and definitely not allies to the queer communities…
SAW SOME OF THE COMMENTS ABOUT HUDSON, SOME PEOPLE ARE DELUSIONAL AND DISGUSTING.
Anyone trying to start drama between the actors is doing so because their own life is boring and they need drama in their life which is just sad.
Man, I never knew a beautiful show like Heated Rivalry could garner such hateful toxic fans. Just watch the show, enjoy and move on. These people totally missed the point of the show.
Why are people SO WEIRD??? It’s so crazy how SO many people need to get off social media and go touch some grass.
If you can’t stand the heat(-ed Rivalry), get out of the kitchen.
Why does anyone care. Do your thing
People need to get a fucking grip.
Hey ET,
Will this make you rethink some of your own gossipy, out of context, and/or otherwise problematic articles about the guys that have been catered to-, and contributed to flame the hate and anger amongst many fans? Some of your own articles have directly caused some of the fights and issues, bc you fuel the gossip and Hudson erasure.
Since you can make videos and articles them speaking out against the hate, you need to look inwards too, and realize that you contributed to creating a playground for the various hater groups with some of your articles.
Ok but i saw ET in IG trying to erase Hudson from s2 saying they want ilya/scott hunter couple for the s2 plot. That was very racist 🍅🍅🍅🍅
Wrong messenger. You built your career through queerbaiting.
