why larrying can be disrespectful- a thread. (reposted after being edited)
i’ve always thought it was a little bit off to ship them, but i have multiple reasons to support that now. by believing larry, by sexualizing larry, by fantasizing them in a romantic relationship publicly, you are invaliding their sexualities. louis has made it+
clear that he is straight, and forcing a different sexuality is extremely disrespectful. this situation is no different from if you forced a gay person to be straight, or if you romanticized a gay person being w a straight person. it’s disrespectful and definitely makes lou+
uncomfortable. when it comes to harrys sexuality, he is unlabeled. meaning he is not straight, but he is also not gay. considering he came out as unlabeled fairly recently, it might make him uncomfortable to see ppl think that because of that it’s ok to sexualize him w a man.+
yes, ik, some ppl don’t sexualize them. but i do know that almost every larry has read fan fictions, even i have, and most of them contain sexual scenes. even if you didn’t write it, imagine how uncomfortable they would feel knowing almsot all of their fans have read+
multiple scenes where the two of them were performing sexual acts toward eachother. they’ve made it clear that they’re best friends, and i would be incredibly uncomfortable if ppl read sexual books about me and my bestfriend. next, fantizing romanticly.+
although i know that this is a very common thing to do w two people, in this specific situation it’s not ideal. you can fantasize, but only privately. putting it out on the internet creates rumors and expands the idea of larry, and like i said, having their fans+
talk about this so much probably makes them uncomfortable. because of the amount of people openly speaking about their theories, the two were restricted from doing so many things. and i know that part of this is managements fault, and in no way will i ever defend+
management, but i’m saying that because of the theories and rumors spread, management took a lot of things more serious(unnecessarily serious btw). the things that were restricted came all the way down to something as simple as sitting next to eachother.+
another quick example, louis and harry have not been seen together since before the hiatus. and i’m not saying it’s because of larry rumors, but it might be. liam and niall were seen together, openly. louis and niall were seen together, openly. liam and niall spoke together+
openly. and those incidents brushed over within a week or so. if it was the same situation w h and l, it would be talked about for weeks. and i feel bad that they feel they can’t hang out publicly anymore. last reason, yes i saw this from another tweet, i don’t know her @+
but it was a valid point. believing larry is taking part in toxic masculinity. it’s basically confirming to males that it’s not normal to be affectionate w another male. louis and harry were very openly affectionate, but so were all of the other boys. if you look+
back on interviews, you can see that louis and harry are not the only people showing affection towards eachother. it’s simply just an action from five best friends who love eachother more than anything. there’s no need to sexualize or romanticize affection between them+
that should be normalized as a whole. so yes, i think that louis and harry both loved eachother very much, but platonically. i really do not want to get hated on for this, and if you really want to continue to larrie even after hearing all of this, it’s your choice+
in no way am i saying i was never a larrie, becuase trust me, i was. i’m just saying that after a while i realized how uncomfortable i would be if i was in their situation, and unlarried over time. it’s up to you!!
i hope i didnt make anyone upset w this thread, i’m sorry if i did<3 i really don’t want to start any arguments, but i just thought i’d say this! i love you all<3
