#i dont expose of my opinions about it (esp on twrt) bc people always take it out of context

[fireproof-mp3]

Idk man i think his fans are plain rude and today he simply explained his pov what’s rude about that?

i'm all in for him standing up for himself, but i think that if this is such an common ocurrance, he could make a simple public statement about it: set the boundaries and then call out those disrespecting him. a tweet not directed at anyone in particular would do it.

in this case, i didn't think the person's tweet about his selfie was disrespectful - i took it as a stan twrt joke. and it's fine if he didn't and got offended by it, but i think the repercussions of his complain were contradictory (and very predictive). he talked about celebrities being bullied online and how their public status shouldn't justify this behavior (which i agree with), but this caused the person who made the tweet in the first place be bullied by his fans, because he responded to them exclusively and people wanted to be protective over him - which is totally expected. besides, there were other times when people actually called him out for sounding rude to fans with some of his replies and he just responded something like "good to know you don't understand sarcasm"......... so we gotta take it when it's from him but not the other way around?

and just to be clear: i don't ever support offending people online and i don't think someone being famous is an excuse for them to be bullied. but i do think people can take things out of context by their will - causing other people to be attacked - and that doesn't sit right with me. i love niall and today's episode doesn't change that - i just wished he handled himself better on social media, especially since he makes it pretty clear he spends a lot of time there and among his stans.
