Google tells me there are plenty of sushi places in Doncaster. Louis is playing the role of Ultimate Chav from Chavtown. But it's not any more authentic than Harry as Ultimate Rock Star of Destiny. Just like the girlband Louis talks about has been defunct for 6 weeks after being stalled for a year, & he doesn't actually have a GF he loves dearly, most of what he's spouting on these interviews is an act. Some of it's cute, some of it isn't.

I don’t know. Nick seemed to react to the sushi story in the same way. I’m not from the U.K., but my impression is that Doncaster has a reputation for being a certain type of place and regardless of whether there actually are sushi shops there, it’s not the kind of place where one typically goes for sushi. People exaggerate for the sake of making a story funny.

As for Louis’ “act”…I don’t see him playing the chav. It felt more natural to me. He’s joked about his Donny roots before. I think it’s fairly natural to do that. But I do agree that he’s playing into a storyline they’ve set up for him; the Everyman, the lad who eats McDonald’s and drinks a pint, the one who’d rather hang with his mates than go to a Hollywood party etc. I don’t think there’s anything inherently wrong with that - I think that’s truly a part of who he is. It’s frustrating to me that we’re not also shown the other parts of him that we know exist

I think, as a fandom, we’re particularly sensitive to this because this “lad” persona has been used in negative ways: to set up a divide between him and Harry, to allow the idea that he’d knock up a random one night stand, to promote James Arthur, and – most offensively imo – to try to devalue Louis and his contributions to the band. He’s so much more than the one-sided portrait they’re painting, we know it and we want the world to know it. My hope is that this marketing plan is multifaceted and eventually his “character” will be broadened.

Hello, I’m not sure whether someone has asked you that question before but I wonder if you have any thoughts on why Harry always gets the harshest treatment? I wouldn’t call myself a directioner, I am in Harry, Louis and Niall fandoms and it seems like Harry gets shit for everything he does. Even recently when Niall posted pics of himself from Portugal after Christmas with his girlfriend, everyone was happy and exited for him and no one was angry. But I remember how people were calling Harry exploitative because they saw Eternals as cash grab since he’s there at the end of the movie. Why do you think the whole thing looks like that?

Oh, that’s the million dollar question, darling. I think it mostly boils down to Harry having the most commercial success and the most opportunities vs the others. The more someone succeeds, the more some people feel the need to tear them down. Some people prefer to be on the side of the underdog and act as though anyone who’s reached a certain level of success is somehow “sus” and must have cheated/bought/stepped over others in a malicious way to achieve this success. Therefore Harry is deserving of all criticism.

I’m not saying he should never be criticized. I don’t love everything he does. But the bulk of what I see is exaggerated and almost all of it is stuff I see ignored when it comes to the others.

And I’m sure there are other reasons why people criticize him endlessly, but more and more what I see is a whole lot of hypocrisy. Harry shouldn’t travel, but it’s fine for Niall. Harry shouldn’t tour, but it’s fine for Louis. Harry golfing is elitist, but it’s fine for Niall. The list is a mile long. Blah blah blah.

As I’ve said before, hold them all accountable in the same way, and hold yourself to the same standards, or stop pointing fingers.
