Damn that new anti wrote an essay attacking you and your tags on her post
Pathetic of her to block me, but the answer is that they talk a big game about Harry's "je ne sais quoi" attributes like he's some godlike figure that they can't comprehend. It's ridiculous.
Here I was referring to these paragraphs:
"I've seen some say "people like him because he's attractive." I mean, of course, he is. He's very attractive. So are the others, though? Different levels of attractiveness, of course, but they all got put in that band because of their looks. If they could sing but looked fugly they wouldn't have been put in a BOYBAND. In fact, I think being cute was more important than being able to sing at the time. Not naming names, but...
There's also been claims of "well, he was probably easy to manipulat." Brother ALL OF THEM were easy to manipulate. They were working class kids with a dream. I know part of being The Hags is having a bitch eating crackers attitude to him breathing, so of course they're never going to admit that he's not just good looking, but he's also charismatic, and has a great stage presence, and has a beautiful tone of voice, and an incredible work ethic."
This section kind of implied she believes Harry's attractiveness wasn't the main and biggest reason he was the most popular among teen girls, which brings me to...
Yes, attraction is subjective, but the fact is the majority of people found Harry to be the most attractive. He was the most popular member and had the most fanfiction written about him. It makes perfect sense why he gained so many followers and surpassed Liam in the early days of the X-Factor. It is a known thing girls found him to be the cutest and liked his curly hair. Same reason Justin Bieber became so famous. Girls found him cute. He and Harry are not somehow more unique than anyone else. Sorry she doesn't like that though.
Aaaand this one was really... special:
Well, that's how we know she's white.
The fact is, yes, Zayn had and has his issues, but no matter what a POC in a boyband is never going to be the most popular. Most boybands had only white members in them. Most people in the US are white and will favor whiteness. If Harry wasn't there, the favorite would've been Niall, and so on (though the band wouldn't have gotten anywhere without Harry imo).
I don't know what some harries' deals are. The way they talk about him is legitimately scary. I see stans praising their favs all the time but never the way harries worship Harry. They really delude themselves into thinking he's the biggest star to ever walk the earth.
