Talk:Bullshit 1.0
This blog post says that the bullshit tweet is when larries started believing that management wrote Louis's tweets.--aethel (talk) 06:50, 28 September 2019 (UTC)
I updated the page to separate out the recounting of events from the fan interpretation of events. I haven't checked all the links so not everything is verified here. I tried to make it clear what the larrie vs. non-larrie response was, but it probably needs more sources and a review by people who were in the fandom at the time. Something that isn't currently addressed on the page is whether Harry/Louis shippers who didn't believe Larry was real were also bullied.--aethel (talk) 02:53, 29 September 2019 (UTC)
I moved the academic quotes to a new section as it seemed to me that their previous placement was being used to implicitly validate the Larry POV. But I think the academic section shows what a big impact the event had on fandom, if academics are writing papers about it.--aethel (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
Not sure if it belongs on this page, but I found this discussion among anti-larries in September 2016 about bullshit 1.0 and trying to sort out how/when the larries intensified over time. thelarrative says in their reblog tags that when they were a larrie they didn't know that Louis also called someone out for harassing his mother at the time of the bullshit tweet--they attribute their ignorance to deliberate manipulation on the part of big larries. the thread also mentions that a lot of larries joined up after bullshit 1.0; they cite a larrie, so I looked at the larrie's blog: It truly wasn’t until that first bullshit tweet that a lot of people that weren’t shipping them went “Wait. What?” and started perking up and paying attention. And after that slap in the face, Twitter Larries did what Twitter Larries do, they went harder. MUCH harder.[1]--aethel (talk) 02:55, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
