Rambling thoughts about the Brits, Liam, fandom, etc.
1. I've never been a fan of the type of person who shows up last minute, who didn't do the necessary work or put in the effort, and then proceeds to win the race over those who really worked for it. Life is not fair/It's just a fan-voted award/blah blah blah...I get all that, but I also find it very convenient how Little Mix were ahead for so long, (and appeared to win that award), but then Harry won instead? OK then...🤔
In addition, I'm not a huge fan of awards shows essentially "picking" who they want to promote/win, because that tends to play a big part in how certain things are decided. (Which doesn't even delve into the history of sexism, racism, homophobia, etc., that tend to dominate these shows). 😞
2. Liam got fucked over with all the bullshit Cheryl/tabloid junk before, and during the show, and I feel terrible for him. He's also worked his ass off this past year and deserved better.
3. The hypocrisy of certain factions in the 1D/solo 1D guys' fandoms never ceases to amaze me.
4. I'm really glad that Niall is there at the after party and can hopefully distract Liam/make him smile tonight. 😚
I also realize I haven't been as consistent as I should about voting for awards, so I'm going to work on that across the board. Though, in all fairness, if Louis is in the same category as one of the other guys, I'm going to vote for him first.
