IF YOU'RE A TRUE FAN OF ONE DIRECTION, YOU SHOULD REMEMBER AND DO THESE THINGS.

- a thread

LET'S KEEP STREAMING THEIR SONGS/ALBUMS - Streaming their songs/albums on youtube and spotify is a big help already. We don't have to buy their albums to show our support especially for those who can't afford to buy it ( including me ).

WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM AS A BAND AND AS SOLOS - We should respect those who support them as solos and we should respect those who support them as a band. Note that supporting them individually is fine, but that's not an enough reason to bully those who support them as a band.

WE SHOULD STOP HATING OTHER MEMBERS OF 1D - Respect begets respect. If you are a solo stan and you don't want to support the other members, you should not hate them at least. We should treat them equally and with kindness. We should stop spreading hate and spread love instead.

WE SHOULD NOT CRITICIZE NOR SEXUALIZE THEM - They are five of the most talented people i've known that has existed, appreciate their music instead of criticizing it just because it didn't meet your expectation or standards. Also, it is never okay to treat them as sexual objects.

LET'S RESPECT THEIR PRIVACY - Make them feel comfortable and safe by letting them do what they really wanted to do. We should stop spreading their personal information and activities especially if it's just a fake news.

LET'S ACCEPT THEIR FLAWS - Nobody's perfect. Sometimes we may feel insecure and anxious about how we look because of our flaws, and they were never an exemption. We should low our expectations to make them feel confident and just let them show who and what they really are +

as a person without us judging them.
