What i don't get about your Olivia and Taylor post is that harry is also doing this stunts for his own PR. Do you truly think he has no say at all? He's a multimillionaire who chose his own record label and management, he could pay his way out if he wanted. Hell he could go on stage and say hey I'm gay I'm dating Louis if he wanted to. I'm not saying the whole industry doesn't suck, but it sucks for his beards too, they also have to navigate a system where they have to do PR and be in fake relationships to make it. Is Taylor really responsible for how this makes Louis feel? A stranger she has no relation to? Is Olivia the one planning every PR move Harry makes and not his team (who he chooses)?
Yeah they're aiding in closeting, but this closeting seems very voluntary from Harry and Louis side. If we agree that people come out on their own terms and it shouldn't be forced, then him doing a PR relationship is just part of that package.
Alot to unpack here so first off the whole "he's a multi millionaire" part so he can "pay his way out" is complete and utterly false! Elton John despite how rich and famous he is while still closeted had to marry his beard, Taylor while I'm not a fan had the shitty masters situation to deal with despite how rich and famous she is. She couldn't just buy her way out bc of contracts that were in place. And of course this reply tweet from Julia says just leaving you're label/buying you're way out of contracts "doesn't work like that" and she couldn't.
The choosing of his label I firmly believe H was being treated like shit and massively overworked with S*co/Cowbell and Jeff saw this and all the way back in 2013 when he was still only 19 started planting the seeds in H head about how you're being treated like shit here [which is true] when you want to go solo come with me and columbia and things will be 🌟 better 🌟 and I truly believe H thought it was true. Flash forward a few years whenever he is doing something stunt related and what not he looks fuckin miserable !! It's clear he now sees that was all a lie and things are hardly any better then they had been in 1D. Even on the music/concert side you see he is clearly being over worked just like he was in 1D.
If H comes out as being 🏳️🌈 and with louis there's a 100% chance at least a third of his solo fanbase will unstan him. S*ny/Columbia know this and since H is their biggest money maker they will do whatever they can to keep H and his relationship in the closet. So NO he couldn't just bring louis on stage and kiss him "if he wanted to." 🤪 bc there are probably so many contracts in place to prevent something like that from happening which WILL result in loss of fan aka loss of money. If either break them there where to do something like that there would be severe consequences and at minimum resulting in H being blacklisted. You think louis wants that for him?
Moving on to the beards I'm sorry I will NEVER feel any sympathy for bc on top of them being trash people outside the bearding, and on top of them making money off of closeting someone [for examples] both taylor and olivia used tf out of their fake relationship with H to either get more notice/fame and or make themselves look good ever at the expensive of H. IE olivia smug/happy while their getting mobbed even tho H is clearly uncomfortable or taylor making herself out to be a victim who got dumped and treated like trash by this "womanizer who doesn't care about women" aka H.
They may have not planned it but they sure as hell ran with it and we're more than happy to drag H or not care about how this all effected him [both mentally, physically and image wise] as long as they got to keep the spotlight and people cared about them. Don't worry tho if you don't see the taylor part in this bc once 1**9 TV comes out and it's all about rehashing h**lor/slandering H again with a H version of A** MV those like you who didn't see will see now.
Also louis is no stranger to taylor she knew exactly who he is and what she caused him along with H even AFTER h**lor ended bc taylor spent all her time throwing shade/dabs at H making him out to be a shitty person. Though the main point I was making was as a louis fan given how miserable/concerning he looked back then it makes sense that people were mad at taylor who was a factor in the root cause of his anger. Everything she did to sell h**lor just pissed louis off more bc anywhere he went that is what he was being asked about or in general was the topic.
Moving on the part about them "voluntarily doing all this and closeting themselves" which a lot of people say makes me eye roll. Just bc someone agrees to something doesn't mean they want to do it. It means hey I don't want to do this but I have no fuckin choice bc if I don't do this and attempt to put up with this there will be consequences and I won't be able to have a career. You think H was jumping at the chance to get into a bearding/PR with a women that would make him look like a homewrecker?
Lastly yes people should come out when their ready and doesn't owe us anything and if you see a celeb and go they might be 🏳️🌈 but if they are they are clearly hiding it well then yeah just leave it be. It's different though when it's someone like louis or harry who's NOT trying to hide it [IE comments made about men, comments about gay sex, songs about gay sex, or songs about being forcibly closeted in a homophobic music industry.]
They have made it clear time and time again if they could they would GLADLY be out and be free they want to be out and free but they aren't allowed. I personally think it's more on the side of H as to why neither is out but that's a whole other topic. So yeah I'm done now with this conversation last thing I'll say if you are someone who is always constantly annoyed with their choices just unstan and go. If you constantly choose to defend their beards over them just unstan and go it would be better for everyone.
