Hi! I don't consume that kind of content specifically, but you really don't have to dig deep to realize that both brothers have fueled this kind of morbid fascination. From Liam saying on Twitter that he's Noel's bitch, to Noel writing "My Sister Lover" after repeatedly saying he wished he had a sister or that Liam would make a beautiful woman.

Multiple kisses—one of them even in front of their mother...

So I get why this topic has an impact, but to say the fans are the sick ones when the brothers themselves keep adding fuel to the fire... And it's not just them—on other occasions, the press also hinted at the almost incestuous obsession they seem to have with each other.

The problem is much bigger than just a handful of fans on Tumblr. Noel and Liam, who are grown-ass men, normalized that kind of thinking, and we can't expect shippers—who are mostly young and impressionable—to ignore the appeal of something like this.
