#what to think anymore. anon #this fandom has a bad habit of thinking in extremes. and conceiving freedom as an absolute. and all-encompassing #- as well as trivializing the extent and impact of the punishing closet Louis has been subjected to. on his life and career - #life doesn't work like that. and it's just not that simple #there is reason to believe image clauses can remain in effect. isn't there? #but even regardless of that. the people who designed his closet and have held him back all these years still hold power in the industry #they will protect themselves and their investment. and it is not absurd to consider they can still work against him and affect his career #and we are talking a decade with a certain image drilled in the press. embedded in his promo... particular fandom dynamics as well #with all the implications and consequences of that #ending it has not been a simple matter for a long time. and they took the chance of a real fresh start from him a long time ago #there is no reset button. there is no starting from scratch. there is much that needs undoing and much that needs doing in his career #there are cumulative. long lasting effects to sustained sabotage #a new beginning is only the start of a long road #hope things might start to really change and be better for him. that he will have professionals working for him and looking out for him #that will refocus his image on his artistry and music. on him. secure all the opportunities for him to enjoy himself and grow as an artist #and ensure a long term music career and success for him #- and that should mean. and requires. reducing the prominence of his closet #hope the impact of it on his personal life can be reduced as well. and that some day he might get to be and exist. unburdened #and present himself entirely on his own terms
