[Quote]Who's Larry Shippers? Larry Shippers isn't a he so much as a subgroup of One Direction fans fantasizing about a romance between Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson.
Unconfirmed rumors started out that 14 LarryShippers committed suicide after Crazy About One Direction, a documentary, aired on UK's Channel 4 Thursday night. As of Friday morning, the number has jumped to 28, according to Huffington Post. According to MSN Entertainment, the number jumped again to 42.
Bandmate Liam Payne took to Twitter in response, also criticizing the documentary as being full of (expletive).
He tweeted: "Not really sure what's going on right now I just hope everyone's ok.
"Hearing some horrible things... Really hope this isn't true."
"Just so all of you know we love you guys and we know how dedicated you are and tbh we can't believe it that you guys spend all your time on us.'
"We couldn't give a (expletive) what any documentary says. They're dramatised for entertainment and full of (expletive) anyway. We all know how hard you work for us and see it everyday at our shows.'
"Let's all take a step back and think about what we/you have all achieved. You should be proud."[/quote]
Up there is an article on it. According to it, it says at least 14 people have committed suicide because of some 1D documentary and the number has been said to jump into the 30 or 40's by other news sources.
I guess I order to understand this you need to understand what on earth a Larry Shipper is. According to the source above and others; "Larry Shipper" refers to the segment of One Direction fans who fantasize or believe there’s a romantic relationship between One Direction members Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles.
My thoughts: All of my what. Seriously?
I'll look around for other articles.
-
I have so many wats I'm bursting at the seams.
-
I have no sympathy for people as stupid as them. (Picture unrelated)
-
Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Just kidding, that's actually terrible if it is true.
-
more like One DIErection, amirite
-
I'm going to say it again. How can we possibly no they're killing themselves because of this documentary? Most likely it's because of other issues unrelated to 1D but people are all pointing the blame rather than tackling the issues. Basically the same thing with every suicide
-
Nothing of value was lost.
-
I suppose that makes sense... But no really it doesn't, what's in this documentary that people are losing their shit over it? Has anyone seen clips or anything to explain why people are dropping off like flies?
-
And nothing of value was lost
-
It's disgusting that the band themselves pretend they have some kind of personal relationship with every single fan just to line their own pockets, just makes the situation worse.
-
WTF is wrong with these people?
-
I thought cut for bieber was bad, but Jesus Christ... They all need help. Serious help.
-
The only thing that causes people to commit suicide is a mental unbalance. Not 1D.
-
So fans who are "shipping" a homosexual fantasy about a guy named Larry in One Direction are becoming disenfranchised by a documentary critical of the band are offing themselves? Again, I ask: WTF is wrong with your generation??? Its like you guys are the biggest drama queens ever. Someone makes fun of you on Facebook? Off yourself. On AskFM? Off yourself. They make fun of the imagined homosexual relationship in your favorite band? Off yourself??? Goddammit, you are making us Gen X'ers look like WWI vets. AND WE INVENTED WHINY MUSIC FOR -blam!- S SAKE!!!
-
I'm not sure I understand why is this happening?
-
Sometimes I feel as If I'm one of the only sane people left in the world.
-
... shippers ruin everything... but their ships are always sunk by canon.
-
No sympathy for the stupid, should these rumors be true.
-
I might have to watch this documentary now to see what it's all about
-
What did the documentary say that is causing this?
-
N00Bs can't even get a positive K/D before they bite the dust. I hope they know a suicide takes away 1 kill. This proves that females are horrible at video games. C'mon, a [i]42 (wo)man team ALL commit suicide[/i]? So nonprofessional. GOML, -blam!-ing casuals. [spoiler]I'm a bad person.[/spoiler]
-
This is confusing the shit out of me.
-
At first I thought this was going to be about incredibly boring waifus.
-
Those girls are dumbasses. I don't feel sorry for people like them. I feel more sorry for their families than the girls that died.
-
Is the documentary online anywhere? I kinda wanna watch it.
-
[quote]How can people be sure that these people are killing themselves over the documentary? What if they're killing themselves for other reasons and these numbers are showing the horrible truths on suicide rate. Sounds like the latter and people trying to point the blame rather than do something about it[/quote]

Natural selection.
