To put things in context, one of the characters in the HBO drama writes a fanfiction story about “Louis Stylinson”. This is the name giving to the fictional love team between Tomlinson and Styles as they are grossly fetishized by some fans. The scene featured an animated sequence depicting Styles performing a sexual act on Tomlinson.

The sequence quickly spread on social media and earned the ire of many One Direction fans. Some Directioners have put the blame on “Larry” fans saying that sexualizing and fetishizing the two singers were something that they did. “Larry” fans were quick to defend their acts, obviously seeing nothing wrong with sexualizing the two personalities.
