A Fan of Larry

Hello Gina, this isn't the first time I've read about the supposed fanservice surrounding Larry, and they're all so wrong. Everyone sees the situation as if Larry is something from this decade and forgets that it's actually from about 15 years ago. They would never have risked their best, most appealing products for girls in the 2010s to fake a secret relationship between two members of the biggest boy band. What they would have done is force them to hide a real relationship. I know people see current LGBTQ+ artists having careers and think it's all smooth sailing, but it's not the same emerging as a queer artist in 2022 as it was in 2010. It's not even easy now, so years ago it must have been an even bigger nightmare. I'm not saying Larry can't generate an audience; obviously it does, and these are people who will buy merch, go to concerts, and do a lot for them. That's indirect, it doesn't mean it's their intention. How is it supposed to be fanservice when we have to dig deep to understand these men's minds? How is it supposed to be fanservice when there are things so subtle that if you don't know the story from the beginning or if you don't dedicate a huge amount of time to understanding Larry, you probably won't get it? Not to mention that it's not appealing to fall for this "fanservice,"🙄 to be larrie and know you'll be harassed; many people have left because of the harassment. I really don't understand the lack of critical thinking skills some people have.
