part 2

Hii, I don't know if people have spoken about this but I saw a video of Kit Connor's recent photoshoot on his Insta page. One of the outfits is Louis's 28 brand hoodie. Is he the first celeb model for the brand? If so, that's so awesome!

And not to make unnecessary connections but they wore a lot of blue green this season. I didn't think about until Kit specifically mentioned it in BTS. And in one of the episodes, Nick tells Charlie he couldn't find mint chocolate chip ice cream. All of these could be just coincidences but it also feels like subtle thing one would do for a friend (LT). He must know him if he's wearing his hoodie

Just thought I'll point this out

Hi nonnie, that’s such a wonderful topic to talk about!

Yes, we saw it and were super excited to see that Helen Seamons put Kit into 28 clothing! They also linked the brand website to it (the IG is confirmed too) and now we’re all patiently waiting for something to drop.

I don’t know much about the show but it’s definitely interesting that bluegreening was specifically mentioned. And the mint chocolate chip ice cream would definitely make me go 👀 Maybe there’s a Larrie or two in the writers room. LOL.

Btw @lovingstheantidote sent me a Harry edit by @brightgoldanne and while Kit looks already amazing in it, the Harry edit is 😙👌

Reality TV and the sinister side of it

Reality TV, one of the most recognised genres of TV shows and has been appreciated by generations, is a form of television programming that exposes unscripted and frequently spontaneous circumstances, captures genuine occurrences, and includes everyday people involved in unscripted action and interaction.

Reality TV shows frequently use social media as a tool for promotion, audience participation, and interactivity (Mcbride 2015). Many reality TV shows have official social media profiles where they post behind-the-scenes videos, and live updates, and interact with their viewers in real-time. This contact makes fans feel more connected to the show and its players, which frequently leads to increased watching and engagement. 

Reality TV shows frequently use social media as a tool for promotion, audience participation, and interactivity (Mcbride 2015). Many reality TV shows have official social media profiles where they post behind-the-scenes videos, and live updates, and interact with their viewers in real-time. This contact makes fans feel more connected to the show and its players, which frequently leads to increased watching and engagement. On the other side, reality TV viewers utilise social media platforms to discuss and share their ideas on the shows, as well as to follow and interact with the participants. This creates excitement and awareness for the shows outside of their scheduled broadcast times (Mcbride 2015).

Although social media is the primary medium for fans to engage with TV show participants and express their feelings about them. However, incidents of celebrities being subjected to cyber-assault by fans are not uncommon (Lin. 2023). It is regrettably not uncommon for public individuals, especially reality TV show contestants, to receive rude and abusive remarks on social media. The combination of a huge audience, strong emotions, and relative anonymity on social media can occasionally lead to cyberbullying. This can have serious consequences for the mental health and well-being of everyone affected. For example, cyberbullying Kimura, a cast member on the popular television show Terrace House, was discovered dead at her home on May 23 following an apparent suicide after bombarding a barrage of harsh comments on her social media channels (Knowseeker 2023). 

Not only cyberbullying, editing causes misinterpretation are also a downside of reality TV shows. In reality programmes, the editing process can be used to depict a competitor's behaviour as adversarial to a future popular contestant, creating a more interesting story for the audience at home (Mast). The reason there are ethical concerns is that how a candidate is depicted might have major life-changing consequences. According to Cultivation theory, prolonged exposure to important themes in the symbolic worlds of mass media encourages people to overestimate the likelihood and potency of those themes in the psychosocial worlds of themselves and significant others. (ScienceDirect 2012)

2 July 1993: Thirty-seven Turkish intellectuals and locals participating in the Pir Sultan Abdal Literary Festival die when the conference hotel in Sivas, Turkey, is burnt down by a mob of radical islamists. Participating in the conference was Aziz Nesin, who had previously announced that he was going to get the book translated and published. The mob demanded he be handed over for summary execution. The mob set the hotel alight when Nesin was not turned over. Nesin escaped the fire and survived.[155]

11 August 1993: Rushdie makes a rare public appearance at U2's concert in Wembley Stadium on their Zoo TV Tour in London. Bono, donned as stage character/devil Mr. MacPhisto, placed a call to Rushdie only to find himself face to face with Rushdie on stage. Rushdie told Bono that "real devils don't wear horns".

October 1993: The novel's Norwegian publisher, William Nygaard, is shot and seriously injured.

1997–1998

Edit

1997: The bounty is doubled, to $600,000.

1998: Iranian government publicly declares that it will "neither support nor hinder assassination operations on Rushdie".[63] This is announced as part of a wider agreement to normalise relations between Iran and the United Kingdom. Rushdie subsequently declares that he will stop living in hiding, and that he is not, in fact, religious. According to some of Iran's leading clerics, despite the death of Khomeini and the Iranian government's official declaration, the fatwa remains in force. Iran's foreign minister Kamal Kharazi stated,

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has no intention, nor is it going to take any action whatsoever, to threaten the life of the author of The Satanic Verses or anybody associated with his work, nor will it encourage or assist anybody to do so".[2]

1999

Edit

1999: An Iranian foundation places a $2.8 million bounty on Rushdie's life.

14 February 1999: on the tenth anniversary of the ruling against Rushdie, more than half of the deputies in (Iranian) Parliament sign a statement declaring, "The verdict on Rushdie, the blasphemer, is death, both today and tomorrow, and to burn in hell for all eternity".[156]

2000–2004

Edit

14 February 2000: Ayatollah Hassan Saneii, the head of the 15th of Khordad Foundation, reiterates that the death sentence remains valid and the foundation's $2.8 million reward will be paid with interest to Rushdie's assassins. Persians take this news with some scepticism as the foundation is "widely known" to be bankrupt.[156]

January 2002: South Africa lifts its ban on The Satanic Verses.[157]

16 February 2003: Iran's Revolutionary Guards reiterate the call for the assassination of Rushdie. As reported by the Sunday Herald, "Ayatollah Hassan Saneii, head of the semi-official Khordad Foundation that has placed a $2.8 million bounty on Rushdie's head, was quoted by the Jomhuri Islami newspaper as saying that his foundation would now pay $3 million to anyone who kills Rushdie".[158]

2005–2007

Edit

Early 2005: Khomeini's fatwa against Rushdie is reaffirmed by Iran's spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in a message to Muslim pilgrims making the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Iran has rejected requests to withdraw the fatwa on the basis that only the person who issued it may withdraw it.

14 February 2006: Iran's official state news agency reports on the anniversary of the decree that the government-run Martyrs Foundation has announced, "The fatwā by Imam Khomeini in regard to the apostate Salman Rushdie will be in effect forever", and that one of Iran's state bonyad, or foundations, has offered a $2.8 million bounty on his life.[3]

15 June 2007: Rushdie receives knighthood for services to literature sparking an outcry from Islamic groups. Several groups invoking The Satanic Verses controversy renew calls for his death.

29 June 2007: Bombs planted in central London may have been linked to the Knighthood of Salman Rushdie.[159]

2008–2012

Edit

24 January 2012: The vice-chancellor of Darul Uloom Deoband, an Islamic school in India, issued a demand that Rushdie be denied a visa for his scheduled appearance at the Jaipur Literature Festival at the end of January. The Indian government replied that there were no plans to bar Rushdie from entering the country, and that Rushdie, who had visited India several times in the past, did not need a visa because he held a Persons of Indian Origin Card "that entitles holders to travel to the country of their origin without other documentation".[160] Rushdie ultimately decided not to attend the festival, citing reports of possible assassination attempts.[161] Rushdie investigated police reports of paid assassins and suggested that the police might have lied.[162] Meanwhile, police were seeking Ruchir Joshi, Jeet Thayil, Hari Kunzru and Amitava Kumar who fled Jaipur on the advice of officials at the Jaipur Literature Festival after reading excerpts from The Satanic Verses, which is banned in India.[163] A proposed video link session between Rushdie and the Jaipur Literature Festival ran into difficulty after the government pressured the festival to stop it.[162]

17 September 2012: Rushdie expressed doubt that The Satanic Verses would be published today because of a climate of "fear and nervousness".[164]

2016

Edit

22 February 2016: A group of forty state-run media organisations in Iran raised $600,000 to add to the Fatwa on Rushdie.[165]

24 March: In a press release, the Swedish Academy, who awards the Nobel Prize in Literature, condemns the death sentence for Rushdie for the first time, saying:

"The death sentence and the reward money are flagrant breaches of international law and rules of civilised interaction within the world community and therefore can in no way be compatible with normalisation.

The fact that the death sentence has been passed as punishment for a work of literature also implies a serious violation of free speech. The principle of the independence of literature from political control is of fundamental importance for civilisation and must be defended against attacks by avengers and the adherents of censorship.

The Swedish Academy decries the retention of the death sentence for Salman Rushdie and that state-controlled media are permitted to encourage violence directed at a writer."[166]

2022

Edit

Main article: Stabbing of Salman Rushdie

12 August 2022: Rushdie was stabbed in the neck and abdomen when he was set to give a lecture in Chautauqua, New York.[167][168] Commenting on the extent of his injuries, Rushdie's agent said that he had likely lost an eye, in addition to sustaining liver damage and severed nerves in one arm.[169][170] Rushdie was placed on a ventilator the day of the attack, but within 48 hours, he was taken off of it and reportedly able to speak.[171]

14 August 2022: Two days after Rushdie's stabbing, the government-run newspaper of Iran called the attack an "implementation of divine decree".[172]

“A guy who has an open bounty placed on him for decades which has resulted in a near fatal stabbing as well as the murders of people connected to him and the bombing of a hotel building is a lot like people on the internet saying JK Rowling is transphobic”

28 OFFICIAL PROGRAMME

[faithinlouisfuture]

[fashionlouist]

Hello everyone !

We didn’t want to have to do this, but sometimes you’re left with no other option.

FLT prides itself in sourcing everything posted into the account. It’s our priority to create quality content, because we don’t just ID garments: we’re an archive.

With that being said, last tuesday 13th we updated about Louis wearing his own brand, 28 Official Programme. For both Instagram and Tumblr, we used a graphic we created ourselves for the hoodie — a graphic we didn’t authorise anyone else to use.

Sadly, another account that also ID’s his clothes (@/louiswearbook) took our edit and posted it without giving us any kind of credit or bothering to ask us if they could use it.

We have spoken to them about this and despite reaching an agreement that they would delete their post because we didn’t authorise for anyone else to use our graphic, it is still up — almost 12 hours later.

Following this, some ID’s we’ve posted haven’t been accurate — which we have always put up as a disclaimer — but we leave them up because it’s an alternative to what Louis wore.

So imagine our faces when accounts like the previous one “identify” the same garment as we did, hours later — when we know for a fact it’s not a confirmed ID due to new, HQ/closer pictures. Or when the same typos we accidentally make in our ID’s are present in their posts too.

This is a public announcement: we do not authorise anyone (be it louiswearbook or any other account) to repost our edits, our descriptions, or use our ID’s without credit. We might not always say it — but we notice when it happens and when things are directly copied from us.

This is why your support means the world to us — because of things like this. We know we aren’t the biggest account on all the platforms we use, but that doesn’t justify stuff like this happening several times.

We will continue running the archive as we normally do. But please know — there’s a lot of work behind it you might not see. Please appreciate that.

We hope this is the last time we have to do this. Thank you. 🤍
