I've annoyed all my friends with walls, have sent his album for all my local friends, am posting about louis, drawing him and sharing my art all the time on my main socials. Ever since walls has been released, all my family and friends associate me with louis, I stream his songs everyday for hours and yet cause I'm still a harry styles' fan too, (not a larrie cuz you know I'm not, still have a soft spot for the memories of the past tho) and I'm posting about him, I'm automatically not a real fan of louis or don't care about him or his music, you see what's wrong with this attitude you have solo louies??

You aren't the only people streaming walls, you aren't the only people caring for his music and solo career, I don't what larrie accs you follow but all my larrie friends also are the same, really truly caring for louis outside the ship, so stop this attitude of yours. Not all larries are unfair to louis or treating him as merely Harry's partner/the rest of the ship.

in response to your anon - my issue isn't with louis. it's with his fandom. I'm queer and nonbinary and I dont feel welcome in this fandom anymore. leaving it behind would be self-preservation. it's sad. because i never felt more accepted and seen and part of a community than I did at his concerts but now I dont want to risk it. his fandom has become weirdly right-wing.

Hi Anon,

I am so sorry that you don't feel welcome anymore - and I completely understand why. We have seen a shift over the last several months, and it makes me so sad, and honestly a little angry- not at Louis, but at the way that the fans are behaving.

I agree that it felt like Louis' fandom, his concerts, and Louis himself, was a safe space. It felt inclusive, and freeing. To know that it doesn't feel that way anymore, to so many people, is so disappointing, to put it mildly.

I know it's not much, but know that you are always welcome with me, and I hope that you are able to feel safe with Louis (and the fandom) again.

tox, you seem to know so much about how things work... could you tell me how Louies fans seem so different to the other boys.its great to see how the fans support louis. do you think Zstans and Liams do it to this level.

I think I agree with tox, Louies feel like louis' team isn't doing enough so they do what they feel like what his team should be doing. And it's great that they support him like that. Also to note, majority of Louis' fanbase is carried on from the band so there's that too, 1d fandom used to do projects like that all the time.

Agreed on the Zayn and Harry point too. I don't really know what Liam's fanbase is, I don't think I've ever seen his solo fans, it's so integrated with 1d in a different sense than Louis, Louies still can see him as a solo artist different from the band. I really don't know about Liam even though I've tried seeing where he is as an artist.

Yeah Liam has seemed to be struggling to find his place musically, I think. Of all of them, Zayn was and is the clearest about his musical identity.

I have mixed feelings about fan projects in general because I think listening to music is for pleasure not clout, and those projects are very definitely not for pleasure. As much as I love Zayn’s music, I try to listen to it when I want to hear it and not out of anxiety that he isn’t charting or streaming at some arbitrary level. So yeah I appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication to Louis while feeling a bit bemused by making being a fan so much work.

But that’s just me. I learned during the PT to 1B that I don’t want to make listening or watching into a project.
