I thought that this was pretty interesting. I want to keep getting more results, so if you would like to take this survey you can go here. Eventually, I would like to see the difference between my tumblr survey and my twitter one, but we’ll get there at some point haha.
At the end of my survey I had a section that asked, “Any other thoughts/comments?” and a few were pretty interesting. So here are a few of those. (I forgot to mention all of this is 100% anonymous, just to make sure all answers are as honest as possible, and so that way everyone feels safe answering the questions how they really feel!)
"While I believe Harry and Louis are together, I do not KNOW this. But, whatever the situation, I do know that their management is homophobic."
"People who ship Larry so hard that they truly believe Harry and Louis are in love are the worst things to ever happen to this fandom. They ruined it for everyone. They put their own delusions in front of Louis and Harry’s happiness and that’s fucking not okay."
"People are allowed to ship what they want. There’s really no harm in playful shipping, its just something you can do for fun and its apart of being in any fandom. Its when people get overly obsessive with it when it becomes a problem. Its when you lose perception of reality and fantasy that shipping becomes a problem. Its when people take it further by bombarding the parties involved with the ship with things stating why they believe the ship is 100% real. Its when the shippers get so caught up in their ship that they can’t see their own biases, hypocrisy, offensive and harmful behavior. Shipping should just be for fun. Its not something you should take literally."
"Literally don’t hate on other’s opinions or shove your beliefs down anyone’s throats, even the boys’ throats for that matter. If they want everyone to know their sexuality they will, and everyone should respect their decision to keep their sexuality and relationships private. Stop overanalyzing the boys’ every move, and don’t make everyone with a different opinion than you feel bad because one of the boys (or management) did something that proves what you wish to see."
"i was going to put it doesn’t matter on harry & louis sexuality because yeah i feel like they’re together but i just don’t feel like i should put labels because even though i do believe they are together we still haven’t gotten a straight answer from them if that makes sense & for the rest of the boys i put straight cause i feel like its obvious that they’re straight."
"I just want to talk about the last question. I feel like it should be really talked about because so much people believe in a ship so "passionately" that they can go over the line sometimes. For example, most Larry shippers take things to the extreme. People assume things too much that we should just respect the boys’ privacy, at least what they have left of it. From whatever the future brings us, we can either choose to support them throughout their careers or not support them at some point in our lives, could be now or later on."
"I don’t ship Louis and Harry or Zayn and Liam, I believe they are in a relationship. Shipping has a different connotation than what I would like associated with this belief. Also I really in general don’t like to speculate on the boys’ sexuality."
And then I got a few more responses like "Larry af" and "So if larry isn’t real, then how do you explain Louis and Harry being my larents? Ha, take that!" And I also got a few responses saying that Louis and Harry is not a real, romantic relationship.
And that’s okay! That’s what this survey was about. I wanted to see what other people thought. I know the fandom doesn’t have the same views, and that’s also okay! Despite what I believe, and despite what you believe, at the end of the day the boys are what really matter, and the fact that 100% of you said you would support them if one of them came out is the best result I think they could ask for.
Thank you for taking this survey if you have already, and like I said, if you want to contribute to the discussion you can take the survey here.
Feel free to ask me any questions, and feel free to write what you want on the survey, just be honest! :)
I love you all so much, and thanks for being such amazing people at the end of the day! (ha, references) xx
