Feel free to ignore. I’m ranting to myself with no read more.
I just saw someone message Amy about it being hypocritical for fans to like Zach and Harry, but not Harry and Kendall. They said that if people think Hendall is for KUWTK promo, then Bryles(?) is queer baiting for his movie promo, so here’s my question:
Why is it that when people like things that don’t fit the mold for what we’re being sold, it’s automatically labelled as hypocrisy? Zach and Harry are friends. Harry seems to enjoy himself when with Zach, and seeing as Zach knows Harry personally, he can joke about things like spooning him and whatever else. As long as Harry continues to reciprocate and not show signs of discomfort, it should be assumed that he likes it. It’s the same thing that went on between him and Dougie, and the same thing that he’s done with Ed. Shouldn’t that tell y’all something!?
The fact that Harry’s male friends joke around about sexual things with him, goes to show that they are aware of his sexual preferences. If they weren’t, they’d be the worst friends anyone could ever have, because 1) his entire image is opposing to the idea that he is intimate with men and 2) it would mean that he’s in the closet to even the folks around him, and since he does have gay rumors surrounding him, he’d not want anyone to make jokes about it. On the flip side though, his friends have yet to bring up heterosexuality on Twitter in regards to him, even when the whole world is being told that Harry is frequently dating multiple women. That should tell you something! Harry himself has dick, men, and balls all over his fucking social media pages. That’s should tell you something! It’s not hypocritical to appreciate friends of his, who seem to get it. Friends of his who don’t shy away from gay subtext or jokes or anything of the sort, because they are afraid of people assuming; even on very little support, that’s he’s dating or fucking them. It doesn’t matter, because they more than likely know that he is in a relationship with someone. Not only that, but because him being interested in men does not mean he is interested in them.
Another thing that stands out, is that Harry’s female friends also don’t post about him suggestively. I don’t recall any jokes from them either. He’s just Harry, the only “straight” guy being invited to the bachelorette parties and baby showers or whatever. He’s the one they take to fashion shows, and to the pool. They don’t look at him sexually, and it doesn’t seem like they ever have. And while I know he’s not a woman, not even Nick treats Harry sexually. Honestly, of you go back and look at it all, he hasn’t. They hang out in public and in private, but Nick’s never even joked about spooning Harry or butt plugs. They’ve never joked about being naked together or anything. What Nick has jokes about though, is Harry being a bottom and getting “squirt” in the face. Are those sexual topics? Yes. Do they relate to gay sex? Yes. Do they relate to them being sexual together? No. His friends; the ones who joke about sexual things with him, treat him according to his personality. He’s charming and tactile and a bit frisky, but the only person to ever returned that, is Louis. The other boys may be just as tactile, but who doesn’t flinch away? Louis.
So again to Amy’s anon who will most likely never see this, no it does not make people hypocrites to think it’s funny that Harry’s male friends are cracking good natured jokes about what he likes in bed, as opposed to people not liking that Harry is seen as a womanizing asshole.
