Everyone knows Zayn and Harry have been prepping for this since day ONE. Liam may be the first nail in the coffin, so the other boys would be smart to do the same tbh. This may split the fandom but ultimately things will be fine for now.
I know, when I was watching This Is Us I couldn't help but laugh at how detached and quiet Zayn was. He's plotting against them.
Honestly, this probably isn't the end. It's still okay to make fun of Gay people and say homophobic things in todays society. That guy from the duck show just hired for another season after he said homophobic things.
