Adjacent hets. 🤣 Literally, as soon as I saw that shirt I messaged one of my GCs

Wait, THIS was everything I had to know about fandom dynamics back in 2017??

What happened @twopoppies? Source for the graphics and more details in this post.

Good question!! Here's what I said: "I feel like in the past he was the most feminized by fandom, and not because of his mannerisms or look, but because of his willingness to embrace his emotional intelligence- to cry/ talk about crying openly, to share readily about his feelings and be vulnerable, all these things coded as feminine." You're right, that was an overstatement- but also I feel like there's something worth picking apart in there. First of all, you talk about his looks and his height being factors since TXF days but tbh I think that's somewhat backwards, that it's him being feminized by fandom that has led to perceptions of him being way tinier than he is, right through to this day, and to memory retcons like that he was drastically smaller and more delicate and so forth than the rest of them on TXF- they were all tiny, possibly Niall was shorter than Louis, but who is femininizing Niall? I mean look at this picture:

Is Louis really so much smaller or girlier looking than anyone else? IMO no (and not just cause they've put him in front). In terms of only appearance, was he really so much more delicate and pretty and feminine at 18 than 17 year old doe eyed, soft spoken and sensitive Zayn? They were all little and pretty back then, not ONLY Louis, but Louis was and is perceived differently- I would argue that those traits came to be associated with him not because of his appearance, but that his appearance was and is perceived with a focus on those elements because of, as you say, his mannerisms. I guess part of the issue for me is that I don't see male queerness as feminine and I resist that framing! The extreme heteronormativity of equating gay with feminine is basically based on the idea 'you like to fuck men so you are like a woman cause that's who fuck men', but actually queer culture and physicality is a whole separate thing and flamboyance isn't femininity at all... but that's about twenty steps into nuance past most of what happens in fandom for sure. So anyway, yeah, his presentation as something other than hetero-masculine fed the idea of him being feminine, but I think it was fed and cemented by him also displaying other traits associated with femininity such as a willingness to be vulnerable and talk about crying a lot and how much he loved his mum and sisters and other emotionally open things that Real Men don't. And I think that the extremity of the way people think of him as small and delicate come from all of that rather than the other way around, something that's especially relevant NOW when his emotional sensitivity and openness is the only one of those traits still on display.

Summary

Where Louis still doesn't feel ready to start his sex life with his cute boyfriend and Harry is understanding enough to wait until Louis is sure and decides to try new things with him.

Or where Harry has an obsession with Louis' thighs and since they still can't find the perfect time to have sex, Harry starts by trying to fuck his cute boyfriend's thighs.

I have read the most creepy stuff like they support cannibalism, p3do and transphobic harry also infantilizacion of L in fictions, is there a real concept for blouies or people is really only throwing hate.

Because my limited and lack of knowledge of the topic thought that blouies was like bottom L writers

That’s basically what blouies are, but plenty of people write bottom Louis without labeling themselves “blouies”. I avoid Twitter, so I don’t know what you’re talking about specifically (and those accusations sound pretty stupid, if you ask me). But, in my experience, people who call themselves blouies tend to prefer a very feminized version of Louis (petite in height, crop tops and dresses, belly rings, “sassy” attitude, submissive, etc) and a very “masculine” version of Harry (beefy/muscular/tall, dominant, lots of focus on his huge dick and how much bigger he is than Louis in general, often long-suffering as he puts up with “sassy” Louis, etc).

Many people feel these fics are far off-base in terms of who HL present themselves as irl, but fics are fics. People are allowed to like what they like.

The real problem I see is the blouies who insist their interpretation is who HL actually are and attack people who see (or write) differently. This group of very loud blouies are are bullies and who attack people left and right that they don’t like and often for people having conversations about feminine Harry or the idea that H might not be cis-gender.

I think you mean blouies. It means “bottom louie”. They’re a group of louies (although some are larries, I think?) who are obsessed with the idea that Louis is a teeny tiny feminine baby who wears dresses and crop tops and belly rings and is very bratty, only bottoms, and loves to be manhandled by his big, strong beefy, alpha male daddy Harry who is dark and brooding and has a huge dick with which he tops little baby Lou Lou. They also tend to be very focused on the idea that Louis is being forced into this current “laddy” persona and that “the real Louis” is more like 2012 Louis and the one i described above.

I only link funny manips with Blouies and Bharries. 😅

But the idea of Bottom Harry or Louis being this small, fragile, incapable but too cute for his own good baby girl who needs his daddy (who’s of course this big hunk) to help with everything… is not a concept I find fascinating.
