The only uncomfortable thing there are the explicit references to Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. I do take exception to using real people in fiction if you proceed to heap abuse on the characters which you model on those celebrities. (The story seems to use only the given names, but the tagging makes the link explicit.)
Obviously, you can refer to real world famous people in fiction — it would be silly to write a book about 2025 America and not mention that the president is Trump if it includes political themes — but there are limits.
