do you ever feel bad being a larry? like sometimes when i see anti stuff it does make me feel like im supporting something im not supposed too
that’s exactly what antis want, though. their entire goal is to make you doubt yourself, to make you second-guess what you’ve seen with your own eyes. they twist things, use guilt tactics, and act like they hold some moral high ground, when really, they’re just uncomfortable with the idea that they might be wrong.
but i’ll be honest — i don’t ever feel bad about being a larrie. not even a little. because i know what i believe in is real. i’ve seen too much, heard too much, felt too much truth in their art, their words, their actions. it’s not just fanfiction or wishful thinking; it’s patterns and parallels that have lasted for years, things that don’t just “happen” by coincidence. there’s too much intention there, too much connection to brush off as delusion. and it’s no different than believing in any other celebrity relationship, except this one challenges how the industry works, and how queerness has been handled within it. that’s why it’s targeted so heavily.
antis can say whatever they want, but they’re not trying to “protect” anyone — they’re trying to silence belief, because belief is powerful. when people believe in something that goes against the narrative they’ve been fed, it threatens the illusion. and the truth is, they don’t like how right we often turn out to be.
the other part of this is that so much of what antis say is rooted in the fact that they refuse to even consider that two men like harry and louis could’ve ever been together. and that refusal says a lot more about them than it does about us. there’s a ton of homophobic undertones in the way they frame things.
not every anti is blatantly homophobic, sure. some are even part of the lgbtq+ community themselves. but internalized bias is real, and a lot of people don’t recognize it in their own thinking. the idea that harry and louis “couldn’t possibly” be together often comes from a place of deeply ingrained disbelief — the kind that still sees queerness as unrealistic or too far-fetched when it comes to people in the spotlight.
so no, i don’t feel bad. i feel sure. i know where my faith stands, and it’s not shaken by noise online. because at the end of the day, what i believe in has always been rooted in love — not in hate, not in projection, not in anything harmful. and that’s something they’ll never be able to take away.
