Hi! I’m curios about the 1D thing. It was always a bit toxic in that fandom. But did it get worse after they went on “hiatus”?
hi omg for some reason tumblr won’t let me answer this but yes it got a lot worse because the fandom split into solo fandoms and everyone started fighting and hating on the other boys. especially harries (which is funny considering their favs mantra is treating people with kindness) were very hateful towards the others and everyone was always comparing streaming numbers and popularity and stuff like that. liam was dealing with depression and addiction and fans sent him a lot of hate as well (there was some valid criticism but people took it very far). as someone who was always more interested in the band than the solo careers it was also hard for me to see that the boys were just not close anymore and yeah i distanced myself from the fandom around 2020 but still listen to the music and go to concerts but don’t keep up with the fandom or anything anymore so i don’t know what it’s like nowadays
