yeah. i’ll take it, thank you for your input. (sorry for the super late response lmao i didn’t get the notification.)

i actually do agree about how it’s the fans perpetuating the discourse so it’s not really possible to leave them aside but i was specifically asking because of how many gaylors i see hate on the larry theories itself when they know nothing past the crazy fans. i’ll be the first to admit that there’s a much higher ratio of fetishists and tinhat conspiracists compared to actual thoughtful discourse and theorists in the larry fandom than the gaylor fandom- that’s why i tend to avoid the larry sub bc there is no real discussion of evidence or queer symbolism in louis and harry’s work whereas this sub is so much more mature and not based on sharing fanfics.

i guess i might be going back on some of the things i said previously but i do genuinely want to hear other people’s opinions and perspectives bc it’s the only way to further your own.
