I don’t know about you lot, but I think this is terrible.
I agree with the article, it’s awful that the One Direction fan received hate from other One Direction fans. But I think anyone who’s been in a fandom (particularly a boyband fandom) has sort of come to accept that if the band single you out you will get a mixed reaction of both praise and hate. You ignore the hate or you send some witty reply back, you don’t let the hate get to you because after all all it is are some jealous people who think they can send hate and it won’t matter because they’re safe behind they’re puny little screen.
Now I don’t agree with hate within the fandoms, of any kind, personally. I’d rather not accept that you would get hate, but that’s the human race for you unfortunately. As long as the fan wasn’t receiving death threats I would say that it isn’t that much of a big deal.
However for this magazine to suggest that hating on another fandom, particularly one where you will find a massive crossover amongst the fans, is just downright wrong and stupid.
No magazine should promote hate of any kind.
Unfortunately no one seems to know which magazine this has come from. If anyone on here does know then please leave me a message in my ask (anon or otherwise) and let me know so I can write a letter of complaint. This should not be allowed. I am horrified and disgusted to see that the editor would allow such a thing to print and that the journalist would even write such a sick thing!
Please do reblog and share this, so I can find out who is responsible for such an awful deed. Thankyou.

McFLY Fanbook!

Harry and Izzy’s Engagement Book(?)
Hello there!So it is indeed coming up to that time of year again. The birds are singing, the sun is shining, the shorts are out! It’s summer! Which means for those of us who are Annual Plus members on Super City, it’s Meet and Greet time!
I shall be attending once again.
So I am once again offering up the opportunity for any and all fans to give a message to the boys. However I’m going one, maybe even two steps further. I may take with me two or three books. See below for description:
McFLY Fanbook
This is just your general fanbook really. Any messages you want to pass onto the guys about their work, whether it’s McFLY related or a side project can go in here.
- I can’t afford printer ink at the moment due to personal reasons, so I’m afraid photos/pictures are off the cards. I shall do some little doodles and what not to make the book look interesting, and will try and keep them related to your message as much as possible, otherwise they’ll just be general McFLY related.
- Messages don’t have to be two lines, but please no essays, I’m hoping lots of you will join in and I will be handwriting out all the messages!
- Hate messages won’t be written in. This is a book praising the work they’re doing, you may wish to include a small amount of constructive criticism to help the guys improve, that’s fine, but no outright hate please.
Tom and Giovanna’s Wedding Wishes Book
I know it’s a little late, but I thought that it would be a nice gesture from the fans, to pass on our well wishes and love and hopes for their future.
- I can’t afford printer ink at the moment due to personal reasons, so I’m afraid photos/pictures are off the cards. I shall do some little doodles and what not to make the book look interesting, and will try and keep them related to your message as much as possible, otherwise they’ll just be general doodles, hearts and things.
- Messages don’t have to be two lines, but please no essays, I’m hoping lots of you will join in and I will be handwriting out all the messages!
- Hate messages won’t be written in. This is a book celebrating their love, we wish to support these two, it’s not compulsory to write a message for this book. If you have nothing nice to say, then just don’t send in a message.
Harry and Izzy’s Engagement Book
This is a possible. If enough people send in messages then I’ll run with it, otherwise there’s no point. I didn’t know if anyone wanted to give them a message, I thought I’d post it and see what you lot thought of it all.

So yeah, I think that’s everything for now. Please reblog and share this post so we can get as many McFLY fans involved as possible. I can always buy more books if needed!
