so i know adam is probably the only person who i going to read this (i'm sure you'll agree babe) but hey, gotta get this out here:
after being a one direction fan for a few years now i've realized it truly is a blessing and a curse. In the sense that we are so lucky to have a band like them in our lives that bring us such happiness but the other side of it is that it's such a cut throat fandom to be in because every single event (personal or not personal) of the boys' life are analyzed and documented and then posted on every social media outlet that exists; when they go get a coffee, when they go shopping, when they're on a TV program, etc. They literally have cameras surrounding them for a good portion of their day, and hey don't get me wrong, with fame and popularity comes this lifestyle, but what i dont understand is when one of them (i.e the single ones, you know who they are *cough harry* *cough niall*) hang out with a member of the opposite sex and the one direction fandom finds out/sees the photos, the poor girl is chastised and screamed at for just simply hanging out with a friend. In my opinion it's completely unfair and unnecessary to comment "who's this girl?! I hate her!" "why is she with my Harry, or my Niall" on any photo with a girl because first off, believe it or not these perfect creatures are human too and they have friends of the opposite sex and secondly, Harry or Niall don't belong to anyone so stop calling them yours; they are not objects.
Sophia, Eleanor, and Perrie aren't ever verbally attacked by the fans (well unless you're a crazy ass Larry shipper or something) so why attack any 'potential' girlfriends Niall or Harry might have?
Face it, the plain and simple truth behind this over obsessive fandom, you will never get to date a member of the band, or become remotely personal to them because it's unrealistic expectations. Not to say you aren't worth anything or aren't good enough, but thinking that hating on their past girlfriends/current girlfriends is going to help you get you any closer to them, is nonsense.
Basically all i am trying to say is this is the craziest fandom to ever exist (good and bad). if everyone claims to support them, then support them in every aspect of their life; relationships and all.
