Notice how Benny Blanco, Travis Kelce and Ethan Slater all gained relevancy because of their girlfriends yet yall still try and say women need men….no, men need women
I'm angry. I'm fucking livid. I'm angry at @TheXFactor, @ModestMgmt, @SimonCowell, @syco, and every other person in power who enabled their exploitation tactic.
They caused this. They were the catalyst. They set it in motion.
And they did it knowingly and with calculation. They manipulated those boys from the start. And when I say start, I mean The. Very. Start!
They eliminated the boys, made them sob on camera, only to bring them back and declare they would give them a 'second chance' - despite making that decision PRIOR to eliminating them. It wasn't just to make good TV, it was to strip them of any solo opportunity so this was the only offer they had. To make them grateful for it. To make them feel indebted to Simon. To the show.
That was how it started. And now we know how it finished. It's shocking, sure. But is it surprising? Are any of us really surprised that the treatment they received led to this point? Because truthfully, I'm not. I wish I was, but I'm not.
I'm not dismissing personal accountability or autonomy. Those things are important, they exist. But there also needs to be recognition that these people were at the root of all of it.
I'm so fucking infuriated that these millionaire execs (and those above and below them that stand by and allow this shit to happen) just have to post some lousy PR bullshit tweet, then get to kiss their family goodnight and sleep tightly when they've got a humans blood on their hands.
Because as much Liam is responsible for pulling the metaphorical trigger with the decisions he's made in recent years, with every ounce of conviction I have in me, I vehemently believe they are the ones who loaded it, handed it to him, and directed it exactly where it ended up.
So fuck them.
it felt like we never got closure for 1d ending bc they promised they'd be back. even though i've moved on from the band in a lot of ways, it always felt like i was waiting for something to give me that closure. and now i know that whatever i was waiting for will never come.
Comment faire quand les one direction étaient ton safe space mais que tout ce qui réussissait à te réconforter ne fait maintenant que te faire perdre plus pieds ?
written with all the love in my heart to one direction, the people they brought to me who know what this all feels like without me having to say it, and the music that taught me to say goodbye
i consider them all to be the greatest loves of my life
