One Direction fans send death threats to GQ for revealing that Harry Styles has had sex

by Tyler Munro

Hell hath no fury like a tween-girl scorned, and the pubescent masses of One Directioners are furious with GQ’s new British cover that features Harry Styles and—gasp!—implies his promuscuity by, y’know, quoting him on it.

Under the tagline “He’s up all night to get lucky,” reads Harry’s quote of “it’s definitely less than 100.”

What followed was an inundation of threats and otherwise disturbing responses from the group’s dedicated, and in many cases hostile, fans. Their anger ended up briefly crashing the rag’s British website and gave cause of alarm to the staff. And for our own entertainment and scorn, GQ’s complied some of the standouts.

“Holy. Crap. The boys on the cover of GQ magazine. Someone shoot me. Push me off a cliff. Stab me,” said one fan.

“The GQ pictures make me want to stab myself in the uterus !!” wrote another.

But its in the escalating vitriol from fans that we become truly concerned. Watch as pride over their favourite singer quickly turns to contempt and later anger towards the magazine.

“YOURE MAKING HIM SOUND LIKE A WHORE. HES NOT A FUCKING WHORE YOU STUPID CUNTS,” writes a Twitter user named “the butt.”

Francesca, meanwhile, tweeted at Styles saying she’s “FUCKING PISSED” at how they portrayed him. “YOU ARE NOT A GOD DAMN MAN WHORE, YOU ARE A CUPCAKE,” she proclaims.

And then there are these.

One Direction fans are apparently really into ball mutilation. The issues feature a unique cover for every member of the group. They go on sale tomorrow.
