How Louis treats random children at a soccer game vs how he treats his “son”. Spot the difference

[s33-dlshbs]

Hey you fucking idiot, yes I’m talking to you Bria, you want to know how to have fucking privacy? Don’t have a public Instagram, Twitter, snapchat, email. Don’t let your close family and friends promote their public social media by their association to you. Don’t have multi platform Q&A’s. Don’t publicize your pregnancy, don’t go on fucking pap walks and for gods sake don’t let your baby be papped.

You idiotic embarrassment of a human. You are the lowest of the low, one of the trashiest, most disgusting, morally corrupt people to ever surround this band and that is seriously saying something. I sincerely hope you have wasted every penny you were paid to participate in this bullshit on plastic surgery and buying new friends.

I can’t wait for the day that you get what is coming for you.

[virglows]

Genuinely one of the worst things I’ve ever read on this site. Log off and learn some respect and focus your attention on actual problems. You can think what you want about what’s going on but there is literally no excuse for what you’ve said here. This is disgusting and says so much more about you and anyone who reblogs it than Briana herself. I’m so sad to be in this fucking fandom right now.

[stylininmi]

I am so sad reading this. The disgusting name calling is over the line. This is just so nasty. The language is so triggery too. 

 If you don’t like Bria and you don’t agree with her and Louis’ parenting of Freddie, then STOP ENGAGING! 

[kngtchlla-deactivated20200613]

this is so ugly can u actually imagine being THIS ugly…………….

[punkprince-lou]

A) Briana has as much of a right to do what she wants on her social media as anyone does. The notion that she needs restrict herself from things that most normal 20 somethings are doing because for some reason her existence pisses of you and some other fans of a boyband is incredibly selfish. She’s not hurting anyone. And her wanting privacy (still trying to figure out when or where exactly she said she wanted privacy but let’s just go with it) doesn’t mean hiding herself away, it means being able to share things at her own discretion and enjoy social media without people being overly intrusive. It’s the least that anyone expects for themselves when using social media. 

B) This is ugly and disturbing. You need to log off, step away from your computer/phone take a few deep breaths and evaluate why someone you have never met, someone who has never done anything to you personally, is causing you this much anger and bitterness.

No conspiracy theory can change what is real.

[haroldslovebites-deactivated201]

When you cry about wanting privacy and #respect while having 414K followers…..did you forget the ‘private account’ option existed and that you could actually idk….leave it private? Did you forget that you never had to accept any fan to have access to your posts? Or maybe you enjoy the attention and the ability to use the ‘they’re being mean to me, look how strong I’m being’ card. And to all the people who are going to argue ‘she shouldn’t have to hide away, its her life’ umm good for her? Maybe just maybe she could PRIVATELY enjoy her PRIVATE life with close friends and family and go about everyday things while REMAINING PRIVATE. But no, she chose to accept fans knowing her posts will be shared in the matter of minutes and she chose to un-private her account time and time again for more attention and hasn’t done a thing about the #privacy and #respect factor since the day we unfortunately met her.

[never-too-old-for-1d]

Just because someone has a public account doesn't mean that people are entitled to throw abuse. How about some common decency and rationality?

Briana has done nothing personally to any fan and she has as much right to be public or private as you or me.

[w0uldntitb3nic3]

Here is a photo of my 9 month old’s foot that I took just now. This is what it’s like 99% of the time. Babies curl their toes like this for a loooooog time. I was a bit like ‘I don’t want to say it’s a doll’ before but, let me tell you, there’s no way a real 2 month old could splay his toes like that to get a photo of it!!!

Also note, I’m having to hold her foot up to be able to get a non-blurry pic of her semi-uncontrollable limbs!!!

ETA: I found this picture of my daughter at 2 months 5 days and my son at just over 2.5 years and look at their feet. Even Oscar can’t splay his damn toes like Freddie! If you saw my other post, I found that I can’t do it without massive effort either!!

I’m shutting up about this nonsense now.

[lisonia]

30 seconds… that’s roughly the amount of time it took me to google newborn photo sessions and find several pictures that prove you wrong. But why would you spend such a short amount of time determining the accuracy of your post when you can mock a baby instead?

[punkprince-lou]

You know what I don’t even care what the hell  larries choose to believe anymore. Just please PLEASE stop the wanton spread of misinformation in this fandom. For heavens’ sake, why does this post have 400+ notes of people just going along with it? Do none of these people double check info on here to confirm it’s true? One lady shows me one photo of her baby’s toes curled in and suddenly that’s the behavior of all babies in the world?? And I say one photo because in the second photo, one of the kids’ feet is actually splayed!??!?! It took me no time at all to google the above images of very real newborns with very splayed toes. I didn’t even have to because I already knew that toe splaying is a reflex movement in babies. And any adult or child should be able to splay their toes at will, if you can’t, that’s a problem, please go get checked.

 I cannot believe, I CANNOT believe, that there is an individual trying to make people believe–wait scratch that– SUCCESSFULLY MAKING PEOPLE BELIEVE that human beings aren’t supposed to be able to splay their toes. All because you want two pop stars to be in a relationship. This is some fresh fuckery right here I can tell you. 

OP I’m sure you’re a wonderful parent of healthy children so please think about even the slightest possibility that Briana actually is a mother. Would you like people doing to you what you’re doing to her? Would you like people doing this to your kids? Trying to prove they don’t exist? Would you?

I hate how we’ve gone from being just Directioners to Larries/Antis/Freddies. It needs to stop, we all came here for the same reason.

[tommosbonestructure]

[lavenderstyles]

do you have any thoughts/explanations as to why Louis ignored the baby for 9 months?

okay so imagine you are a young rich guy who is in a worldwide famous boyband… you’ve just broke up with the girl that you’ve been dating for 3 to 4 years.. now assuming you were 100% faithful to her the entire relationship, you haven’t been with anyone else and since you’re a young rich famous dude who is now super attainable, you start going out clubbing on the rebound… while on this rebound of drunken nights and casual hookups you might this girl who you see more than once and you like her but not enough to be in a relationship with her… you continue your party boy way and boyband duties and that girl calls you up and tells you that she’s pregnant and that your the father…. and at first you’re probably watching your life before your eyes… you?? a dad?? what?? you’re scared, angry, and in denial all at once… you are young and not dating this girl and have no intention of trying to date her and you know that you’re going to have to pay a shitload of child support for the next 18 years and being a parent is a lifelong commitment… of course you’re scared, angry, and in denial.. this probably isn’t exactly the way you intended for your first child to be conceived but ya know accidents do happen…. so now the whole world knows that this girl is pregnant with your child (and it is your child because of course you’d make sure to get a paternity test because without total confirmation your lawyer isn’t gonna let you pay a cent) and your own fans are fucking pissed… they’re saying it’s all fake and blah blah blah… you don’t really want to talk about it anyway though.. it’s a sensitive subject and you’re still trying to used to the idea that you’re gonna be a dad in a few months… so it’s probably best to just not talk about it too much mainly because you’re scared shitless but also because your rabid fans are just going to accuse you of lying like they did when you were with your ex and they said you were faking the entire relationship… sometimes it’s better just to keep things private…. so fast forward to the birth.. and you have a beautiful baby son.. there’s a common saying that a woman becomes a mother the moment she finds out that she’s pregnant but a father becomes a father the first time he holds his baby and that’s how it feels… you had so much anxiety about the whole thing but now you’re holding your son and the world just makes sense and you’re so in love with him and everything is going to be okay :)

[cantquitu]

This. It’s really very simple.

[never-too-old-for-1d]

What else was he supposed to do until it was 100% confirmed the baby was his? He'd look even worse if he was there and then walked away if Freddie wasn't his.

[never-too-old-for-1d]

Fandom PSA

A person should not have to stay off social media to avoid hate or abuse. Treat others the way you want to be treated and don't make assumptions or theories about people and situations you don't personally know anything about. There is no justification for treating Briana like shit. Leave her be to enjoy this amazing time of her life.

[slipknotvol3]

I’m playing the world’s smallest violin

[recoveringlarrieblog]

y’all have no shame. No empathy. No respect.

It’s sad that you think the treatment Briana gets is okay. It’s not okay. Briana is the mother of Louis’ son and deserves the same respect you give to him.

[slipknotvol3]

anyway,

[ifiwasabluebird28]

LMFAO

[agapelouis-deactivated20170102]

Let’s just say this was real. Briana is getting harassed, blah blah blah. Honestly, she should expect this. She gave birth to Louis Tomlinson’s, a member of one of the world’s biggest bands, baby. Now I’m not exactly saying it would be okay to harass her (nothing like that), but she should expect it. What she is expecting is to be treated like the queen. She’s not going to get that, therefore she should stop whining and get a reality check.

[harrysiovehandles]

“Therefore she should stop whining and get a reality check” like holy SHIT. You guys are so mean. Like, just flat out mean people. It’s so fucking sad. You hate her and you hate the fact that she has a kid with Louis. It’s sick. Like Jesus fucking Christ y'all are fucked up

[savage-styles]

Yes, that’s right.  Briana should just sit back and accept all the abuse she’s being given.  

This sounds like every single abusive relationship, with the abuser telling the abusee that they should just sit back and take it and that they deserve it.  Gee, I wonder why that is.  Could it be because people like @dancerlouis are abusive people who think that they’re entitled to abusing others simply because they happen to be a celebrity or know one?  

Do you people hear yourselves when you speak?  Do you have zero sense of decency?  

[agapelouis-deactivated20170102]

🙄 I’m sorry if I offended anyone, I didn’t mean to. And as I said before, I’m not saying it’s okay for people to be mean to her (I can’t control what they do, so it’s not my problem). I’m also not one to hate on her; that’s mean. Once more, I can’t control what people do, so I don’t worry about it. It doesn’t affect me.

Also, this is the real world. This isn’t some Disney movie where everything sings songs and laughs together. She should expect people to be mean every once in a while and not praise her every mood like she’s some goddess. That’s why I said reality check. (I’m online, so I do expect mean things said to me every once in a while, which is a realistic concept. Believe me, I’ve gotten my fair share of mean things said to me in the years I’ve been on the Internet and I’m not famous). And I am not going to attempt and convince you that the baby is fake or Larry is real or whatever you think that I would do because I don’t find it important. All I said in that paragraph is that she needs a reality check, in short terms. I did not harass her, I did not harass the child, and I did not harass what you and the other antis believe.

And I don’t ever remember anything in what I wrote about me personally insulting someone. I had never said that Briana should sit back and let people insult her. I don’t think that anyone should do that. I also, as I have said many (many) times before, I do not insult Briana or anyone associated with her. I do not support meanness (but of course all of us are mean every once in a while, we can’t deny it), but it does not affect me, so I shouldn’t worry about it. I’ll just let her fight that battle on her own, as you should, too. I have already stated far too many times that I do not insult people “just because” (or abuse, as you put it). And.. I don’t think I’m entitled…? I don’t know where you got that from… (I also am not or not associated with a celebrity). :)

[savage-styles]

A few things.

I’m at the end of a 12 hour shift and we just had to pull three people from a crushed vehicle.  One survived.  The other did not.  I see people beaten, stabbed, I see children who are abused and neglected.  Every week.  Trust that I know how the world works.  I know it isn’t all rainbows and sunshine. But why, why would you want to be defeatist by saying “Well, that’s just how things are”?  Why not strive to make the world a better place?  It starts with you!

Second, when you attempt an apology, then immediately turn around and try to justify the actions of bullies by saying “That’s how it is”, then your apology is null and void. If you apologize, just say you’re sorry and leave it at that.  Otherwise, it isn’t an apology.  

Third, read what you put.  “She should stop whining”, “She should expect it”.  She isn’t expecting to be treated like a queen as you so condescendingly accused her of.  She expects to be treated with respect, like any person does.  If you sit there and tell her she should expect nothing less than to be harassed, then you are part of the problem.  No one wants to you to treat her like a queen, but saying “She should expect it” is like saying that women should expect harassment simply for existing.  

Everyone should expect respect. Everyone deserves respect. If you want this world to change, start with yourself.  Stop accepting the abuse of others.  Stop making excuses.

As for your apology?  I’ll accept it when you actually mean it.  

[never-too-old-for-1d]

When I grew up, the rule at school and home was, treat others the way you want to be treated. The world would be a better place if we all kept this in mind.

[hessolo]

Take away the fans and the media, and Briana and Louis’ situation is a normal situation that any two adults can find themselves in. The only people making it “abnormal” are people who don’t want it to be true.
