I'm really shocked about this! Lol

[winterbam]

Something ain't adding up.

[jjazaran]

His last album debuted at 230k

Seems like he has a big enough core audience

Since my post was rejected. Just sharing. He's a literal queerbater IMO. I can't

[madiison]

oh, lmao well I saw this on twitter. I just can't. He might be worse than Nick Jonas. He doesn't need to do this and it's not a realistic way long-term of staying relevant. Just WHY?

[mayjailer]

how do the lyrics to his songs make his sexuality ambiguous? honestly, listening to the new album i was struck by how aggressively heterosexual the songs are when juxtaposed with his image.

[mscheevus]

no you're right. his songs were definitely playlisted everywhere on spotify

[poopanna]

Exactly, he has top notch marketing and everyone is trying to ride his gravy train. It also helps that he is charming.

How...do they even still exist?! I don't check on their freaky tumblrs anymore for giggles but I'm curious on how they're trying to explain why they can't be seen together. Harry is out here being ambiguous about his sexuality so how tf is he being forced to be straight? And them coming out would give them positive PRESS so who is spending millions to force them a part? 😂😂

And Freddie looks like a copy of Louis so where did they get this child actor from?

I do feel like most of the Larries were Louis fans, like that chick Shayme here who turned into a Louis solo fan after Harry crushed Larry for real (for some reason they always ignored when louis did it)

I have been trying to block Larries on Tumblr and there are 10000s of them. In 2019
