why the “harry only dates blonde skinny women/finds blonde skinny women attractive” image is damaging him AND TO HIS FANDOM
a thread
a thread
first off, harry is attracted to men. he has expressed that SO much so the image that he’s only romantically/sexually attracted to skinny white blonde women is completely dismissing his queerness
we have to acknowledge the fact that a vast majority of harry’s fandom is young teens, and most young teens are extremely impressionable. so when you’re telling young impressionable teens that their idol only finds blonde skinny white women attractive
its going to be extremely hurtful to the people who don’t fit that image
skinny blonde white girls ARE the beauty standard. so when you’re telling a fandom of young impressionable people that their idol only finds people who are up to society’s standards attractive it can be detrimental to their self worth and confidence
it is incredibly harmful for young poc to have their idol, THE PERSON THEY LOOK UP TO be seen as someone who only finds white women attractive. poc already struggle with the way they’re represented in media, so that on top of seeing the person they look up to
be portrayed as someone who only dates white women can be very harmful
this image also pushes the idea that you have to be skinny to be beautiful and wanted by someone. society already pushes this standard that we “have to be slim” to be beautiful when that is not the case. this standard is so damaging to young people ESPECIALLY when it’s
already constantly being pushed on them in their day to day life and now it’s being pushed on them when they’re just trying to support their idol.
end of thread. remember that harry thinks you’re hot af
