A few Directioners have developed fantasies about gay romances between members of the band


A trailer from new documentary Crazy About One Direction shows how followers have invented a gay relationship between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.

In their fantasy, the boyband members also have a baby.

The Channel 4 programme, due to be screened next Thursday, opens up the strange world of fandom.

An offshoot group of fans, who called themselves “Shippers”, have developed fantasies about gay romances between members of the band.

They post lurid mocked-up pictures and stories online detailing Harry and Louis’s “affair”, which they have dubbed the Larry Stylinson romance.

The fantasies have so angered Louis that he hit back at the “********” rumours in a rant on Twitter.

He claimed the stories had affected the way he and Harry act around each other in public.

The documentary also sees young girls discussing the size of the boys’ willies.

But it is the threats of violence made by teens which will shock viewers most. Some of the band’s fans – known as Directioners – say they are prepared to kill to get close to idols Harry, Liam Payne and Niall Horan, all 19, plus Zayn Malik, 20, and 21-year-old Louis.

Others have threatened to kill themselves unless the stars follow or befriend them on sites like Twitter.

And a gaggle of fans are seen knocking on a hotel door, with one girl later tweeting: “I was outside your room while you were sleeping, Zayn.”

Another is seen talking about “fiercely loyal” Directioners, and claiming: “I’m part of a fandom that could kill you if they wanted.”

And one insisted: “I will stop at nothing to get close to the boys.”

One girl is seen posting chilling death threats on line and sobs: “I would like to see Harry Styles dead.”

Producer Daisy Asquith defended the documentary’s tone, insisting: “There are drama queens in the fanbase who threaten to kill themselves.

“But a lot of the girls I spoke to are not silly or crazy.

“They are very knowing about their activities on Twitter.

“To them, putting every single thought online is entirely normal.”

Executive producer Tayte Simpson of Mentorn Media added: “One Direction’s use of social media to diarise their inner thoughts gives fans a sense of intimacy and ownership, fuelling strong emotions.”

Crazy About One Direction, Thursday, 10pm on Channel 4.

Might give this a watch, as someone who keeps an eye on the fandom (1D being a guilty pleasure) I can say that, Larry aside, they are quite insane. One account I came across on Twitter is where the girl pretends to be Harry Styles, but a self-harming Harry Styles who cuts over Louis. I'm serious. :P

Should be a funny if not spooky watch.

Thoughts?

You do get these extreme fans in every fandom, although I find it more strange with things that actually exist, such as One Direction. At least with things like Harry Potter, people are supposed to use their imagination etc :P

Omg there's a difference between being a fan and then JUST OTT. I like kesha but I don't imagine her doing anything that extreme..........

might give it a watch as c4 documentaries tend to be decent.

Lmao, I'll have to put this into record for my sister. Her attitude towards them haa changed so much and something she did the other day, so I'm glad she isn't as bad as the other fans :P.

10/10 on the art :P It looks like something you could have on your wall if you're creepy enough to get it blown up and actually display it.

This is hardly surprising. Fan-fiction is even worse. There's an interesting Patrick Stewart and Tom Riddle (Voldemort) erotic story on the internet somewhere. It's about as graphic as the popular mummy porn books out there.

it's ridic though, because this is such a small proportion of the fanbase. they could have at least shown some normal girls who aren't like that at all, although it wouldn't make as much exciting tv :rolleyes: instead, they've made it look like everyone who is big on one direction (directioners lol) are crazy fans like that.

I just watched then and to be honest, nothing really there I hadn't seen before - infact I thought it was quite cute and typical the way the girls all wanted one of the boys to be their 'Prince'... it's like awh. :P
