no amount of money can undo the damage of being groomed for that level of exploitation. people saw how manipulatable, how marketable these boys were when they were sixteen and just wanted any chance they could get to sing; didn't care when they were injured, sick, disordered, addicted, suicidal; as long as they were alive and their bodies were on the stage, they were making money.

but don't think for a fucking second that industry heads like simon cowell etc wouldn't sell tribute merch with liam's face on it if they thought that they could get away with it.

#celebrities shouldnt exist #child celebrites CERTAINLY shouldnt #prev said in my tags. john lennon. elvis. kurt cobain. jimi hendrix if im not mistaken. but it extends way past musicians #amanda bynes. lindsay lohan. britney. everyone in that nickelodeon exposé #but i dont know - maybe we're on the precipice of something #one of the members of the biggest boybands ever feeling driven to lose his life #chappell roan pushing back against abusive behavior and being extremely vocal about the extent to which mistreatment comes with fame #i recently read ariana grande's verse on her feature in charli xcx's song. theres quite a bit coming to the surface in that same vein #taylor swift has written about suicidal ideation and industry abuse forward and backward #olivia rodrigo. lizzo. i'd even say doja cat #maybe this is the generation of artists where something changes. maybe enough can finally be enough. i feel like if it could happen #it might be now #alternately; and not to be defeatist; but i'm afraid that if it doesnt happen now #it wont ever #i'm angry #i feel awful #i dont know what to do except to think about it though so these are those thoughts #1d #thoughts #liam payne
