why larry is not harmful to mlm and it’s ok for wlw/wlm to support them. 
very quick thread

Firstly, I acknowledge the fact that there are straight girls who fetishize them and other gay couples but it still doesn’t give you the right to label all larries as fetishizers. (we dislike them just as much as you do)
don’t come here to talk about how “shipping real people is wrong” when y’all do it with every single het interaction in the music/film industry. Besides, no one is shipping them but only acknowledging multiple facts and the huge possibility of them being together as a couple.
If mlw relationships/speculations are not fetishes a mlm/wlw relationship shouldn’t be different.
fetish: strong liking or need for a particular object or activity, as a way of getting sexual pleasure.
fetishizing: to make something(someone) the object of a sexual fetish.

quick examples.
making pornographic edits of them: fetishizing
making compilations of their interactions: not fetishizing.
reading fanfiction: not fetishizing
getting off to fanfictions: fetishizing

Closeting is real, and also extremely common in the industry therefore your excuse of “it’s 2020 not 1950” is invalidating as fuck to actually closeted people like me.
Same goes for the “they’re two straight men”. Louis and Harry are not straight. And if you don’t stan them stfu because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Both proved to be part of the community multiple times and don’t have to be out for this to be acknowledged.
There are toxic aspects in the fandom and we don’t deny them, but please don’t generalize, specially when larry is something so many of us relate and look up to.
