Conservative troll Greg Kelly tweeted, “I think Harry Styles would benefit from 3 years in the Marine Corps”—the problem being that he slandered Harry Styles on Al Gore’s internet. Outside of his clear, gross bias about Styles embracing himself and his own styles, Kelly is clearly making a plea for Styles to be more “masculine” by his standards. I counter that with the picture of Harry Styles’ back muscles that he just posted on Instagram.
But the tweet in question features Styles in his Coachella look, where he wore a sequined jumpsuit and looked hot while doing so.
This mentality isn’t a new thing. For whatever reason, Harry Styles lives rent free in the minds of these gross Republican men. Why care about other people when you can sit online and project your own insecurities onto the popular musician and actor? What ended up happening was a hilariously fun response from Harry stans everywhere: They all started replying with jokes about Dunkirk.
The 2017 Christopher Nolan movie featured Harry Styles playing a soldier in the World War II battle and was one of the first times that fans got to see Styles’ acting chops. It also put Harry Styles in a uniform, so when Kelly made a quip about the Marine Corps, fans ran with it.
Support our troops (aka the cast of Dunkirk)
Greg Kelly, I guess, was not prepared for a bunch of fans coming to the defense of Harry Styles in a hilarious way.
What we’ve learned here is that Harry Styles has some of the funniest fans. Yes, I’m including myself in that compliment. The reality is just that we’re tired of this constant conservative outrage over Harry Styles simply living his life.
He can’t wear a dress without them flipping out. He can’t wear a jumpsuit without one of them crying. He seems just fine, and it’s breaking their minds that Harry Styles continues to carry on and do whatever he wants and their upset that he’s just … existing isn’t doing anything to change how Styles is.
Greg, it’s time you support the troops and watch Dunkirk, and when you’re done, check out Eternals before listening to his albums.
