I think what frustrates me the most about the bL hate is that they say its heteronormative, yet support their bH opinion by saying he wears nail polish... That's literally the epitome of heteronormativity! I am a huge fan of bL, and I actually stopped using my 1D blog (that at the time had 5K followers) because I couldn't stand how gross some people were. The amount of times I saw posts saying 'Louis would puke if he saw people writing him bottom' made me want to puke at their homophobia :/
I’m so sorry that all the hate you saw made you stop running your 1D blog and this is the kind of thing I have been saying. Seeing so much hate can destroy all the fun you are having. When I first joined the fandom I read both fics, I didn’t care who was getting it as long as some one was. I even started writing a switch fic but after seeing the amount of bL hate there was, then the emergence of the “Harry is a girl” tag and all the fics with emotionally manipulative Louis and “perfect bottom” Harry who never did anything wrong, I couldn’t take it anymore. I lost all interest in bH and I hate that. I hate feeling cut off from a part of the fandom that I used to really enjoy. And people can tell me that all bH fics aren’t like that but after all of this, and the hate that I have gotten over just writing bL, it’s hard to go back. And don’t even get me started on the “Harry Tomlinson” trend, now that makes me sick.
