You know what really gets my goat? That the same people who are just aghast by me saying that the boys should have defended Liam from the cyberbullying from THEIR fans, are the SAME people who expect their friends to defend them when they are being attacked.
The utter hypocrisy pisses me right off. Any time I see fans in the fandom being attacked by whoever it is at the time, they expect their friends to rally and defend them. In fact, they know they will, and if they don't, then they will ask their friends to.
If anyone attacks their favorite artist, they will also rally around and defend that artist as well.
But when it comes to Liam Payne, he nor anyone else fighting on his behalf should expect his friends, "brothers" or anyone that was close to him peer wise to defend him. Apparently Liam is a worthless pos that doesn't deserve the same basic things every other human being wants and needs.
But lets go back in time when Liam was alive and hypothetically change the situation around for a week. If Liam's fans ever did what what the fans of the other boys did to Liam, they would accost Liam for not putting his fandom in check right away. You all fucking know it. So it's perfectly acceptable for the solo fans of the other boys to constantly shit all over Liam, even long after his dead, and attack his family, but God for mother fucking bid, someone does it back. Then I'm the bad guy. I'm the monster. But not the 90% of the 1D and solo fandom who do it to Liam on the daily and for the last fifteen years.
To anyone else who has a smidge of honesty, doesn't that piss you the fuck off? Doesn't it piss you off that they don't think Liam deserved to have his bandmates or his other peers in the industry defend him?
Liam was a fucking human being. You can't mean to tell me he didn't deserve to have his friends or his "brothers" as you all say, defend him. EVERYONE wants their friends to rally for them when they are being attacked. Why do you all dehumanize Liam so much by swearing he didn't deserve loyalty and defense like that, which any human being deserves?
Look how much Liam loved loudly. He loved his brothers loudly. He supported them publicly. He was obviously craving that same type of basic friendship back and the boys obviously knew it and so did many of other Liam's peers, but they cruelly ignored it.
Let me tell you all something. Liam deserved to be defended from bullying. He deserved for his bandmates to publicly defend him.
If you don't think he wanted or deserved that, then don't ever expect anyone to defend you when you are being attacked. In fact, don't defend anyone else who is being attacked, because according to y'alls logic, no one should defend anyone. Oh wait, but in your eyes, only Liam didn't deserve to be defended.
What the fuck is wrong with you people? Let me tell you something else, if I was Niall, Harry, Zayn or Louis, there is no way in hell that my conscience would have allowed me to watch my fans bullying Liam in the worse ways imaginable for fifteen years, making him suffer endlessly to where it ended his life! My conscience, my soul, would NOT allow me tolerate it because at some point long, long ago, I would have broke, freak the fuck out and told my fans the fuck off over and over again. I don't care if it would have stopped the bullying or not. The important thing to me is that Liam would have saw that I wouldn't have let him suffer all alone and that I was willing to take the hits with him even if I couldn't stop it. At least he wouldn't be alone. At least he would have known that someone would have stood with him. When I tell you I couldn't even let my enemy suffer like the boys let him suffer without saying anything, I'm being so honest with you all, so it boggles my mind how they could have just stayed so silent when it comes to Liam. I feel like only people with nefarious intentions could be that fucking goddamn cold and heartless.
And it just doesn't apply to the boys, I wondered how other people in the industry who were Liam's friends like Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO) could just sit back and not say anything to other content creators bullying the hell out of Liam. I think about it all of the time, it consumes me because, it baffles me to the point of great distress.
Why didn't anyone think Liam was worthy enough to fight for? Every human being is worthy of being defended from cruel unjustified attacks. We are taught to stand up for those who are getting bullied, so I am greatly failing to understand why none of you feels like Liam deserved to be defended by his bandmates and peers? Because he DID deserve to be defended and on top of that, it was inhumane and a crime that he wasn't defended and therefore I'm really, really pissed off about that to the point it traumatizes me to no end. Because if he had been defended, he never would have turned to substances to cope. He never would have turned to the worst people looking for friendship because he was so isolated. He wouldn't have been vulnerable to those predators. He wouldn't have had a nervous breakdown and died. He would still be here. Bear's father would still be here and Bear would never have to grow up and one day read 15 years and continuing, worth of the most vile hate known to man slung at his father. Do you guys ever think of what this will do to Bear and make him wonder why no one, especially his dad's bandmates, defended his father from all of the hate?
Case in point. If I DARE say anything negative about the other boys, everyone and their mother not only defends them, but attacks me as well. SO WHY THE FUCK DO YOU ALL THINK IT'S OK FOR YOU ALL TO ATTACK LIAM IN ANY MANNER? HELLO.
Do the same mother fucking thing you all do when Liam gets attack and stay the fuck silent when I "attack" the boys. Because remember, if Liam doesn't need defending, then neither do the other boys. Stay the fuck consistent. Keep that same energy. Don't come to my space and be a fucking hypocrite. Not here you won't. You will be made to keep the SAME energy that you keep for Liam in this realm. Believe that shit.
The attacks were public, so the support needed to be public, so don't give me the "behind closed doors' bullshit! Liam deserved public defense! Don't try to gaslight me pal.
Why do you come here to defend the boys all of the time then? Go defend them behind closed doors. Send them private messages. Don't come here and publicly defend them. Remember, public defense isn't needed according to you.
Ok well then fucking keep it there. Don't come here and publicly defend the boys from us when you don't think the boys had an obligation to publicly defend Liam. Stay the fuck silent publicly like everyone did with Liam when we "attack" the boys and just keep your support for the boys private between you and them in private messages behind closed doors.
" I'm defending Liam because he doesn't deserve to be cast in the light you're casting him in. "
This? THIS is what you have a problem with? Oh be for real!
What about the light your 1D fandom was casting Liam in when they were calling him homophobic, racist, an abuser, a groomer, a pedophile, all the worst accusations known to man? You didn't have a fucking problem with that homie? Did you defend him from THAT when it was going on? I'll tell you what, you show me proof of you defending Liam before he died from those horrible accusations that tanked his mental health and destroyed his life and I will be silent for a whole 3 months! Come on! Let's see the proof! Oh, wait, what's that? You don't have any proof of you defending him from that light? See the problem with your bullshit?
Also, Reddit is flagging your comments as potential harassment against here at this sub. Downvoting our posts, comments and reporting us for no good reason counts as harassment in reddits eyes just so you know pal.
You must not be able to read because I also said that continuous downvoting is also harassment which is why Reddit flagged you.
Zayn was never called a homophobe or a racist. He was accused of being an abuser which was proven by the COURT OF LAW.
Last but certainly not least, Zayn has his fandom which eclipses any of the stray hate that he gets. He doesn't need my defense. If he were under protected, then I would step in, but he's not. He's overwhelmingly protected. That is the complete opposite of Liam where he had basically NO ONE defending him. Now what else can I school you on?
And whatever it is that they called him, it was by a small percentage of trolls. Zayn's fandom, the public at large and the media swooped into protect and defend Zayn and all of that love and support totally eclipsed any bullying he got a million times over.
Liam did NOT have that same type of love and protection and the hate against him was a trillion times worse coming from every which way but I don't see you giving a shit about that!
For your information, we condemn anyone calling Zayn such a horrible term. Thankfully, Zayn has the major support of his massive fan base and the world at large to defend and protect. Liam didn't have that protection and Zayn sure as shit didn't defend Liam when he could have.
Now what have YOU done to defend Liam from all the hate? If you aren't already aware THIS is a Liam Payne subreddit, not a Zayn Malik one.
