Niall Horan, serving up the bitter truth to daughters of American presidents.
Let me take a brief moment to laud this video, which has come to my attention, and its animator, Mark Parsons. Fan fiction is never acceptable, but somehow he has made it so. This should get an Academy Award nomination, and possibly also a Nobel Peace Prize.
Also evidenced, even in animated form, is Niall not giving a fuck. ”Zayn, don’t be a cunt.”
I’d flee the fuck out of this sea of crazy-ass fans as well.
The Exorcism of Niall Horan? Call the Vatican all you want, Niall’s immortal soul can’t even be assed to care.
I mean, who wouldn’t be completely apathetic toward the fact that their face is plastered in windows around their hometown? Certainly not Niall Horan.
Faded off his ass, like the perfect, walking, drunken Irish stereotype that he is. This child could drink me under the table.
You’re disgusted about something, Niall? Could it possibly be because “Rape Direction” was a trending topic today? I’m shaking my head too, boo.
Let me take time out of my regularly-scheduled blogging to address this incident. Perhaps it is because of the median age of this fan-base that trending topics like these happen, but I don’t think that’s an excuse.
Why would you create a trending topic that forces rape survivors to relive that event in your life? Why would you want to minimize the horrific nature of these attacks, and make it easier for rapists to justify their actions? Why would you want to contribute to a society that creates a joke out of something so incredibly painful? Not to mention the fact that you’ve now associated this band that you allegedly love with one of the worst things that can happen to a person.
We already live in a culture that discourages survives of rape from reporting the assault. We live in a culture where it is incredibly difficult to prosecute an assailant, and more often then not, they’re let off the hook. We live in a culture where, if a woman is wearing a short skirt and makeup, then we say she “deserved it.” When you tweet things like Rape Direction, you’re only contributing to these sexist, victim-blaming lines of thought, and you’re only making the problem worse.
I hope that the people who are fans of One Direction and who contributed to this Trending Topic today grow up to be critical-thinkers who consider the effects of their words and actions before they engage. I hope that everyone learns that jokes are never funny when they hurt other people, as this trending topic has surely done. Most importantly, I hope none of you are ever assaulted, victimized, or made to feel helpless or violated.
Until then, stop and think before you tweet, because you don’t live in a vacuum.
No need to find a chair - he’ll just sit on his friend’s neck. Oh, she’s humiliated? Two birds with one stone to be honest.
Are you ready to lead a revolution regarding gender and its existence purely as a social construct, Niall?
“Yeah, whatever is good, I’m there.”
