The ''Larry proof'' is indeed, incredibly flimsy, mostly consisting of some fetus footage of Harry and Louis being cute and handsy, and a few cute tweets. That's about it. I'm a bit lost as to what all the hysteria is about, and why people are so dead set against believing that they aren't together. They don't have 's history, and aren't currently living together in domestic married bliss. Then again, I've never really been much of a real-person shipper so I don't know if that's normal behavior in an RPF fandom. I do recognize a lot of the mob mentality in the Phandom that I see in the 1D fandom, and I'm terrified at the prospect of the Phandom using their power for the forces of evil instead of chaotic neutral trolling (like with the PROTIP comments.)alittledizzy wrote:Context (as in how they come to be with other people) plays a huge part in it situations like this, but I think with phan it'll be a different kind of nasty because a lot of people will feel (imo, justifiably) misled and manipulated. I don't know a lot about larry but I gather that their history of "proof" isn't nearly as concrete as Dan or Phil's. To be honest, almost no RPF ships do have that, which is why I think some people stubbornly stick with not believing in phan. Most fandom environments paint the 'they're actually together' crowd as crazies and some people come into phandom unable to accept that people who believe Dan and Phil are together are doing so with some serious weight behind the theory, not just the projection and wishful thinking that make up most RPF ships, especially lgbt ones.bedhead91 wrote:[offtopic]I was procrastinating slightly, (what else is new right,) so I googled ''Larry proof'' for the giggles and because I was genuinely curious to see if they had any substantial ''proof'' because I don't know that much about the 1D fandom and my God, was that a trip to Crazytown. Some of the Larries make the most invasive Phan shippers seem like perfectly reasonable and well-adjusted humans in comparison. All the death threats to family members and baby denials.
If the boys do end up dating other people, I sincerely hope this fandom will never get that nasty. Everything is so nice and cozy now, I would just hate to see that happen.[/offtopic]
Oh God, this trash post at the top of the page.
) and the main prooves of larry were slow-downed gifs of them looking at each other in the eyes. They used to share a flat for several months at the beginning of their career but I guess they got tired of seeing each other all the time and moved out. To be honest, larry has ruined the shipping thingy a little for me. So when I discovered Dan and Phil and the Phandom I was a bit jaded when I saw that the phandom was the same as the larry fandom. But like you said Phan and Larry don't have the same history at all, to me phan is way more believable (is that a word ?) than larry (and I find myself believing that Phan is real sometimes)
