It doesn't matter if you ship Larry or not , Louis is going to need our support throughout this. It may be hard to believe at times, but he cares what we think. He doesn't depend on our opinions, but it matters to all the boys whether we agree or not. If he has people sending him and Briana hate, it may influence his choice to leave the band to care for his baby. I'm not saying drop everything and support only him, no. It's okay if you still ship Larry, just please support Louis. This may be a hard time for him. Yes it's exciting, but when everyone hates on you, it can become a pain.
Louis already has the media making him out to be a jerk who knocks woman up and leaves them alone, he doesn't need his own fandom to hate him as well.
