It's safe to say that many One Direction fans aren't happy with GQ magazine's cover story on the British boy band.
You would think that 1D fans would be appreciative of any and all publicity that they receive leading up to the release of their new album next year, but instead, fans have directed malicious, violent and profane messages at the magazine on Twitter because they disagree with how the boys are portrayed in the GQ British September issue.
Each of the five boy band members are featured on individual covers, but alongside Harry's individual GQ cover is the tagline "He's up all night to get lucky," which "Directioners" complain is an unfair way to describe the 19-year-old singer.
Pointing out Harry's clean-cut persona, one Twitter user wrote: "Harry isn't "Up all night to get lucky" he's up all night making Vines, hanging out with hair stylists, old people, and a baby," reports the Daily Mail.
Another fan posted an explicit reply to Harry's own tweet which promoted the interview: '"M F*****G P****D AT HOW THEY PORTRAYED YOU, YOU ARE NOT A GOD DAMN MAN W***E, YOU ARE A CUPCAKE. JESUS."
The Daily Beast made note of a fan named @Ashtonlyfe who wrote, "gq I will stick a gun down your f--king throat."
Nonetheless, the 1D members--Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan--opened up in a revealing interview with the magazine addressing bisexual rumors, groupies and their tangled love lives.
Harry addressed rumors that he's bisexual and is secretly dating Radio 1 DJ Nick, insisting he "didn't know" about the hearsay, adding: "We're not dating, no. We're just friends."
When asked whether or not he's bisexual, Harry said: "Bisexual? Me? I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I'm not."
The boys also spoke about having groupies, admitting that they usually don't have time to entertain them.
"Groupies? We don't have time to party! I'm not even single. This sort of talk will get me in trouble," said Liam Payne.
Niall Horan added, "We go back on the road straight after a show and we're gone. I wish we did have time for girls and parties but we don't."
Louis Tomlinson, 21, who has been with girlfriend Eleanor Calder for nearly two years, claimed that cheating had no appeal. "The type of girls that would sleep with you in a heartbeat aren't the type of girls I'd want to take home anyway," he said.
