Louis has been friends with that nizam guy for a long time so there’s no way he doesn’t know that he’s homophobic/transphobic. If that’s the kind of company he chooses to keep it says a lot about him and not in a good way.

That's really, really disappointing. Especially considering how many of Louis' fans are LGBTQIA+. That's such a slap in the face to the people who have supported him for 13 years.
that spoiler post from a few posts back, saying that LT found it weird that he has LGBTQ+ fans, was that true? Can anyone thats seen the film comment?
Not true, he didn’t say anything even close to that

In fact nothing they said was true. He didn’t blame Harry by name for the band ending, and Eleanor wasn’t in any of the clips
Every single person in 1D has friends who have said things haven't been taken well by the large fanbase. What people forget is people have different upbringings etc. And what you see portrayed in a tweet or a like etc might not accurately reflect a person's full feelings on a subject. You have friends for many reasons, there are work friends who you get on well with but wouldn't necessarily socialise with outside of that environment. You have the friends you grew up with who you mostly don't see but might catch up with a few times a year and you get invited to their weddings, kids' birthdays etc but you don't actually have deep conversations with other than catching up on each others lives and reminiscing etc. Then there is the people you see regularly. the ones who pick you up when you down, who are there for the big things in your life.
There are many different types of friendships and all relationships have layers. And it's a bit like being on here, if we judged people by what we posted on here and what we said about the people we comment on as a basis for friendship then very few of us would have friendships away from here.
Many of the younger 1D fans need to live in the real world, and the older ones need to go immerse themselves in it more to remember that some of the posts they make and others do on socials is not a true measure of person's character or thoughts and feelings. Because let's face it half of the 1D's fanbase would be friendless because of what they post about the boys on their socials.

It was another point to highlight how some larries just gaslight other fans to try prove their theory.
I mean there’s a bit of a difference in someone having their own conservative views on social media and someone posting (solely) for years that the downfall of Western man is due to queer people and all feminists are disgusting, and we should start robbing Jews’ homes? He was spouting Qanon lite stuff as late as 8 years ago and as recent as a week and a half ago? Sorry, I’d drop a friendship with someone who legitimately held those views in a heartbeat.
This, completely. Differences of opinion are fine, they happen. My best friend doesn't like pineapple on pizza, I think pizza is boring without it. She has kids and I'm childfree, she likes heavy metal and I like indie and pop. Those are differences of opinion. Thinking that LGBTQIA+ people are disgusting, that women don't deserve basic human rights, that Jews are to blame for the downfall of society, all of that stuff he's spouting? That's not an opinion, that's a moral failing and I would 100% cut off a friendship if I found someone had any of those views. That's disgusting.
Makes you wonder why he is still friends with him
Can understand if Louis is gay this is one reason he isn’t coming out and is trying to be all macho
Honestly, not sure which is worse- internalized homophobia because your long-time friend (and possibly the community you're from, from some things I've heard, absolutely no idea how true that is though) is a super dick and you've internalized so much shame that you act out against who you are, or actually agreeing with your piece of trash friend but not being outspoken about it because it would tank your career.
Really hope Louis isn't a trash human too, but the company you choose to keep says a lot.
I feel like anyone who has such extreme views would be mentioning them in their everyday lives. The majority of people who really love something or really hate something become passionate about whatever it is and let it be known. Louis has been friends with him for well over 10 years. He must've shared one of his views at least once in that time
Off topic but did anyone see that zayn and Selena Gomez were spotted out having dinner..
he’s probably working out what to get as a tattoo for her as we speak
All this Nizam talk and Louis' character made me think back to 2010 and I'm questioning if certain things were true. Does anyone else remember this:
I couldn't find all the screenshots but fans had tweeted Hannah walker (Louis gf at the time) about this and she would get defensive about it
There was also the nest of Jews video that Louis posted but I gave him a pass on that because it was pre x factor and he was copying Borat

Yeah I remember this came up and a lot of fans dismissed it as being fake/him being young. I don’t think it’s particularly fair to hold what someone does at 14/15 against them for life, but it does make you wonder a bit what he’s like now given his close friendship with someone like Nizam and never waving/acknowledging the pride flag.
8 years today since zayn left 1D 🥲
If Louis was a violent homophobic bully at school, and one of his closest friends is a bigot, then I'm really not sure what to think. I've always had a soft spot for him, he's been surrounded by heartbreak and tragedy, yet underneath all of that, if these claims are true, he's a really unpleasant, unkind person.
Thinking about it now, we all know what kinda people his sisters are (apart from Fizzy! She was so kindhearted)
You are responsible for you as a person and you alone. You are not responsible for the upbringing or the thoughts and conduct of those in your life be it friends or family. That's like saying a friend/family member breaks the law and goes to jail, you to are guilty by association just because you know that person.
Nizam, unfortunately, didn't have the sense to wipe his socials and make them private like the vast majority of the bands friends have done before the doc was released. He's clearly not the sharpest tool in the box given how invasive Louis's fandom and the 1D fanbase in general is.
If it was me and I was appearing in it, I'd have gone through my socials deleted anyone I didn't know personally etc, and locked them, months before the doc was even announced knowing how Louis's fans are.
