here is why being a Larry isn’t just “shipping your favs” ; a thread (i found this on tumblr but i thought it was important to share it on here)
- zayn has a written statement about how harry and louis felt like they couldn’t even be friends in public anymore because everyone said they were dating.
- louis twin sisters have stated multiple times that larry was never and still isnt a thing. they’ve said it makes them uncomfortable and sad for their brother.
- eleanor has received death threats from larries, claiming she’s “straight breeding” louis.
- the whole babygate theory of freddie not being louis’ child is sick and twisted and if you believe that you must be 12 and lacking in maturity.
- louis HIMSELF made a statement that it isn’t real and he’s a straight man.
- the whole origin of being a larry is believing that two men can’t be friendly and affectionate to each other without being labeled as gay. It’s extremely toxic and started that way. also many young fans shipped them just because two attractive men would “look good together”
which is horrifying and invalidating to so many relationships in the LGBTQIA+ community.
- the lyric analysis of louis saying “Princess Park” can mean anything. If you’re a larry, you are forcing something down someone’s throat that they’ve stated makes them uncomfortable and there’s no evidence to what you’re claiming. so much shit could’ve happened in Princess Park
but larries believe harry is the only answer. could it still be about harry, sure, is it in the context larries would want it in, no.
-people who don’t ship larry aren’t homophobic, they just see what it really is. you can’t blindly say something, read into every little thing, create outrageous theories, and ruin friendships and claim it’s just you “shipping your favs”. it’s toxic, it’s fetishizing same sex
couples in multiple ways, and it’s crossing so many lines.
- If you are a larry and you’re reading this, do actual research. Not watch “Larry Proof videos part 3” or the “Wellington Video” and claim that’s your research. I’m talking about reading statements from THEM and THEIR FAMILIES AND FRIENDS!
- no their tour dates being kinda similar means nothing stop reaching.
- whatever theory about “around 1:32” and louis being in a freeze frame at that point in a random 1D music video means nothing.
-All the boys were brothers and best friends. That’s why there’s Narry videos, Zarry videos, LiLo videos, etc. Larry videos aren’t special or ground breaking evidence when THEY ALL ACTED THAT WAY TO EACH OTHER!
most of the younger audience are Larries that I’ve seen so please please please realize that your words matter. What you spread matters. mindlessly shipping this is so gross on many levels that I urge you to please look in the mirror for a minute.
