#yes I know people are stressed because they fundamentally disagree with me that Louis is making this choice

https://youtu.be/L3I3eWbDMNg i hate that i was loving the video until i opened the commentary section… the girl did such a good job talking about the doc literally giving me chills without even mentioning freddie (what i only realized when i opened the comments of course) and then… everyone down there completely ignoring everything that she talked basically, they really got what they wanted didn’t they 🙄🙄🙄

well you know what they say about reading the comments (not to!) but for you I went to do just that, because I was curious. First of all though, as I see it the "they" who wanted people to like the footage of Louis and Freddie include Louis, so I'm not sure it would be a bad thing if they did get what they presumably wanted (ie distracting people from continually trying to out Louis on main and creating a different narrative where he doesn't have to worry so much about that without having to go around holding random women's hands all the time).

But in fact, at least within the most passionate core of the fandom, I wouldn't say they have gotten that result, and I don't see this videos comment section as any different; it's actually a really small percentage of the comments, and the fact that they all say the same thing makes it clear to me that it's fandom people with an agenda rather than bystanders who were just randomly touched by those scenes. Nonetheless, for me, if those scenes are what communicate to bystanders in a few minutes what we know from countless hours of observation- that Louis is a tender loving sweetheart of a human being- then they've done their job narratively while also helping Louis tell the story he's decided serves him best right now, so IDK, I can't see the point in getting stressed about it. Minimum stress maximum bless babes!
