Relevant to that convo you had about how some people are looking for reasons to hate on Louis etc, I saw some of that Loud Small Group of Louis haters going off about how he will probably be hungover for Judges Houses and he will show audiences who he Really Is and how he's probably using Liam and I just cracked up
Wow, what an amazing(ly sad) world they live in, holy shit, I can’t imagine waking up and going about my day with that level of toxicity for a stranger who has literally never interacted with me, not even a tiny bit (and the amount of time on their hands, hashtag goals). I would have cracked up, too (using Liam, lmaoooooo), and I LOVE your name for them, I mean, “Loud Small Group of Louis Haters” is perfection! I’m still working on my head canons as to why they live at this particular level of hatred, but I’m boiling it down to
Louis was formerly on a super high pedestal for them, but the tabloid circus surrounding him and his edgy heterosexual lifestyle soured them;
they’re pilgrims who really hate it when celebs drink, smoke, take drugs;
they can’t handle the idea of Harry being with a guy, and more importantly, a guy they deem “unattractive” (and/or not them);
they can’t find something to love or admire (and/or it’s edgier to hate on shit), so they funnel all their energy into this angry trombone group chat;
they have a real internalized self-hatred that manifests itself outwardly in hating someone who shares some of their own characteristics.
I would bet actual cash on that last one, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some smorgasbord type of situation.
