Lolita and cosplay both welcome!

I'll start with mine
>I don't get all this nostalgia for pastel OTT sweet. It wasn't too long ago (like 3-4 years) when this style was at its peak, so I find it ridiculous.
>>
>I love the more dark and mature looking larme kei but despise the nymph looking one and I think it really damages jfashion.
>Gothic lolita will always be the only one and true lolita for me.
>I hate conlitas and meetlitas and how every single one of them seem to aim to look the most ott.
>I don't care if lolitas smoke or drink even while wearing lolita if they do it with class. If they age faster that's their problem, but it's their wardrove and it's their lives and I rather have a smoking daily lolita than a meet/conlita. I don't smoke or drink though.
>I preffer someone who wears lolita daily even if their wardrove has some taobao than a big brand wardrove and not wearing their pieces at all.
>I don't respect people who only wear bodyline.
>I really don't care about the resale value of dresses and I like selling them for cheaper than they should be. I don't treat my fashion as an investment, I rather even give away nice dresses to newbies who deserve them than selling them to people.
>>
I still think some westerners look weird in sweet lolita.

If you are fat you shouldn't wear Lolita.

If you are fat you need to disclaim that fact on all your sales so you don't sell your stretched out brand to people who are much smaller than you.

Larme is a bullshit fashion that consists of waifish Japanese girls in overpriced fast fashion clothing.

Most lolitas aren't worth hanging out with.

Westerners tend to look better dressed than their Japanese counterparts, part of this is owed to their anal nitpicking over many, many coordinates.
>>
>>9568483
>I think fandom coordinates are cute if they're done right. I understand that some people might be worried that it will come off as a cosplay instead but as long as everything fits the lolita aesthetic and it is clear that the person is still being themselves and not emulating a character, it's all good. I take it as normies wearing tees of their favorite series.
>I love toy prints. Everybody and their moms hate them cause they look age play-ish but no matter what we wear normies will still assume shit about us so?? I'm gonna wear them anyways I love the pastel sweet aesthetic of them.
>This isn't that unpopular anymore but I'm living for old school black x white coordinates and rectangle headdresses lately.
>I hate the edgelords on CoF who go blouseless for a day and post it with a "fuck lolita rules! lmfao xd" attitude, I'm not against blouseless coordinates but 1. would it kill you to put a bolero over that and 2. lolita has rules for a reason, without them lolita wouldn't be lolita. Stop pretending you can defy the rules and people will still consider your coord lolita, especially if you don't do it right.
>>
>>9568483
I think the cosplay community is too lenient where they should be harsh and too harsh when they should be lenient.

For example, we let people get away with racism, sexism, and other things that wouldn't fly in normal society. For example, a big one right now is blackface. This isn't even a conversation outside of the cosplay community. Yet, it's a controversial opinion here.

And then, we're too harsh on people when they're costumes aren't our ideas of perfect. Oh, what a nice D.Va, but she's not wearing a wig, so she's trash and the worst cosplayer ever. Time to be rude and then hide behind "advice.
>>
>>9568600
You got it all fucking backwards senpai. Social issues are the ones we should not give a flying fuck about in cosplay BUT cosplay quality is what we really should care about. Like what the fuck which issue do you think has anything to do with cosplay at all?? Cosplay quality or social issues? Fuck off from this hobby and take the rest of tumblr tier idiots with you please

My unpopular opinion for this website is darkening your skin for a cosplay is dumb. If you are cosplaying as a dark skinned character and have light skin, and decide to darken your skin, you will not look right and will look dumb. Inside my head, I will laugh at you because of how retarded you look.

Pic related. she looks terrible The fake nose looks extremely fake, and in real life no one would be fooled into thinking she was black. Can you imagine how good she thought she looked at the time?

I am not even offended. You will look dumb, even with professional make-up. Have you seen RD Jr. in Tropic Thunder? He looked terrible, and looked nothing like a dark skinned person.

Whiteface also applies. You also look retarded.
>>
Lolita doesn't have rules
>>
>>9569039
Cosplay does not exist within a vacuum where nothing outside matters. It's part of real life. So, those social issues still matter. Racists don't stop being racist, just like I don't stop being black, just because we both complain from Pokemon.

And what you guys call costume quality is just nitpicking. I see it all the time. There's an amazing hand made costume. But, the cosplayer opted out of wearing makeup, so let's focus on that instead of the craft and skills. Or, this person is fat/on a budget/a beginner, so let's rip them apart rather than constructing and helping them get better.
>>
>>9569507
I agree that ripping into noobs can be a little harsh at times, but if you have a high tier cosplay and no makeup that's like building a house and leaving off the door. Aesthetically, it degrades the house significantly.
>>
>>9569507
Probably meant *cosplay from Pokemon
>>
>>9569569
Some people don't know how to do makeup or, in my case, have sensitive skin and can't wear 90% of brands.
>>
>>9569645
Then they should invest in some high quality makeup and watch youtube tutorials. Come on, if you're going to put in the effort and expense of hand making an elaborate costume, they can figure out makeup.
>>
>>9569645
Then get into skincare, then. I have an intense propelyne glycol allergy (that shit is in most drugstore brands, and a lot of mid-tier makeup brands as well) and mascara just doesn't fucking work well for me: there's so many alternate ways of doing things (and hypoallergenic, quality products) that there's literally no excuse. Makeup/hair is just as much of an art as costume design, and it's all varying degrees of important when you want to look like a fictional character. Hence why that chick who was only doing a wig/makeup test keeps popping up as op picture of the LoZ cosplay threads. Unpopular opinion you can't just fucking overlook personal grooming issues, and people who can't fucking get their shit together hair/skincare-wise are just as bad in my book as fatties. I'm not talking the occasional breakout, like I get there's actually a hereditary illness involved. I'm talking about people with
>greasy, limp hair
>unhealthy, overprocessed hair
>obvious tanning
>greasy, shiny skin
>"you obviously have no concept of skincare" patchy, dry skin
Not properly taking care of yourself is disgusting. Have you ever seen JNigs real hair/I photoshopped face? Absolutely disgusting
>>
>>9569704
you cant tell if people take good care of their skin or not by looking at them, a lot of it depends on your genes
>>
>>9569689
Those are two different skills and not relevant to one another. Unless you're trying to go pro, makeup is no big deal. In many cases, makeup ruins the costume.

>>9569704
People should be taking care of their skin in general. But, it doesn't matter if they don't wear makeup. Makeup and hair are arts, but not arts everyone wants or needs to learn.

Unpopular opinion: Being fat doesn't ruin a cosplay. They can be just as good. People usually ignore any potential skills with fabric and go straight for their size which is unfair.
>>
>>9569254
spot the ita
>>
>>9569744
Cosplay is about marrying a whole bunch of skills that aren't related to each other. Have you ever watched the credits of a movie and seen how many different people make the costumes? Different people for sewing, for wigs, for makeup, for crafting, for leatherwork, for metalwork, for electronics, for painting, for weathering... Cosplayers do it all. That's part of why it's so impressive. If you can learn to craft elaborate costumes (and I'm talking about like, actual high level costumes that involve a variety of skill sets, not just a cute school uniform), you can learn to do makeup. It's really not that hard. It matters because it's about presenting yourself as an accurate likeness to the character. When you're all done up, a bland, un made up face is gonna look stupid in person and even stupider on camera.
>>
>>9568574
Agreed with everything said here. Thought I was alone with my thoughts on larme kei until now.
>>
>>9568525
It's not even funny it's just true. That's a popular opinion on 4chan.
>>
>>9569842
not OP anon but I also think larme is super normie looking and the pouty ass makeup and puffy eye look makes me think of when I have allergies. It's also just an excuse for a brand to overprice clothes that only look good on a certain body type (slightly tall, very thin)
I predict it'll fade into non-existence and Swankiss dresses will be able to be found in Western normie thrift stores.
>>
>>9569842
I think it's only the larme community that's convinced that they're wearing ~a Japanese street fashion~. It's the exact same shit you find at Forever21 and H&M...worn by Japanese girls with makeup that makes you look like you're about to cry (side note: I absolutely love the makeup in Larme, odd as it may be). The fashion in Larme is cute, sexy, and fashionable all rolled all into one- but it's really normie clothes at the end of the day.

>in Tropic Thunder? He looked terrible and looked nothing like a dark skinned person.
Now I know you're lying.
>>
>>9568495
Hey. Just saying. Based on this we could be decent friends/talk buddies. I agree with you on every point you presented. Plus:
>I wear everyday, unless I'm 1000% too stressed to put in effort, it's my style and it's what I'm most comfortable with
>I wear mainly Gothic and aim to get more Gothic and Gothic is kind of my thing despite me sometimes leaning Classic
>>
>>9569901
Ooh, here's my unpopular opinion. This kind of stuff is weird. It's weird to be friends (Also talk buddies? Who the fuck says that?) based on just clothes. The /cgl/ friend finder threads consist of the most autistic weirdos you could ever run into, even on 4Chan.
>>
>>9569910
I didn't say it seriously like "omg now we can be BEST FRIENDS I'm gonna find your house desu". I said it more like, hey, cool, we share a viewpoint, isn't that nice. Which is the kind of anonymous reassurance people seek on these threads about "unpopular" opinions, isn't it? But yeah I'll admit I made shit sound weird.
>>
>>9569892
.... Are you for real?
>>
>>9569248
Outside of my head I'll laugh at them. It's a stupid thing to do, just be the character without darkening your skin the clothes are enough.
>>
>>9568495
What's wrong with con Lolitas hell even meet Lolitas I can't do the daily Lolita thing cause of my work. So that's pretty much the only time I have to wear the fashion.

The Rhodesian Selous Scouts actually would put on blackface as a form of camouflage, since the ZAPU/ZANU terrorists would be less likely to be suspicious of seeing a bunch of black guys in the bush than a bunch of pale white guys in short-shorts.

I think you're not a lolita if you don't own brand or handmade. Bodyline and taobao is for posers who have no respect.
>>
>>9573228
not what i was saying. i was more saying that it's stupid to think your wardrobe has to be 100% brand or you're not a "real lolita". i've seen a lot of people with that attitude and it's baffling. nothin' wrong with taobao and indie brands, especially when normies think you look stupid either way.

I've always hated sweet loli (dropping the name because it's important- not trying to single sweet lolis), even when I was a kid, and even when it was popular, but I don't think I can express it anymore because now the discourse is that it's "ageplay" and I don't want to look a fool

like I can say all I want about the aesthetics only but some dumbo is going to turn it into a big tangent on how it's totally pedobear

like have you seen these baby people, they don't like petticoats or crinoline and hard shoes.

I just want to be able to dislike something and not have it be taken as some social justice issue. but that's always what it turns into- and my name gets associated with these chucklefucks turning "I don't care for" into "it hurt my feelings"

It's more complicated than that, though, which is why it frustrates me.

His makeup is believable because it was done by a professional. I have an uncle that looks quite a bit like him in this role.

The problem with people just slapping on darker foundation for darker skinned cosplays is thay they are lacking the different colors and tones that make up an actual persons skin. You realistically need to use 5 different colors and they all arent brown or shades of brown. Same goes for if you are doing a lighter skin tone.

Not sure if this is THAT unpopular, but I hate when people do the ahegao expression IRL.

It already looks cringey enough in art, but when people do it IRL it just looks even worse. When Patreon girls do it it just seems like some normie trying to capitalize on otaku fantasies. When someone does it to be funny it just doesn't work out because it's not funny.

I'm honestly only by mismatched themes if it's a big point of the coord (and even then, don't consider mismatching ita, just irksome).

Personal peeve: strawberry print with cherry accessories. Or musical print main piece with random cutesy accessories.

Heart/star/novelty shape bags are just shape bags and don't count either way, unless the theme of the outside is OUTERSPAAAACE and even then, the star bag is more like a bonus than a necessity.

I think that if there were anything that Lolita as a fashion based it's name on, it would be Kubrick's 1962 box office hit Lolita. I watched it recently and the more it went on, the more I knew it to be true. It's a very tame adaptation and I don't really mind accepting it. But I still attest there is nothing inherently sexual about the fashion.
>inb4 this looks nothing like Lolita fashion.
I wouldn't say it does to a T, but if there were any name this frilly fashion would have latched on to at it's inception, I see why it would be this.

Yes actually! Though not since like, 2014 but I am happy for the refresher and I think it is fairly in line with my thought process.

I honestly feel like the days of raschel lace being the ultimate evil have no place in modern lolita fashion and that idea needs to disappear. This was when milanoo put on the cheapest lace available. It's really rare you see those ugly lace monsters anymore, thanks to everything from Bodyline improvements to really easily available taobao.

Actually well-made raschel is very nice and is interesting to look at. People are still scared of it even on brand and it's so silly.

What concerts are you going to where you encounter wild lolitas? Genuinely curious.
>>
>>9575308
You don't randomly message someone, you talk about something they've posted. Maybe if you wore lolita out to concerts others who are interested in the fashion will talk to you and you can convert them. That's what I do.
>>
>>9575313
Visual kei, rock, metal. At the latter two they weren't wearing lolita themselves but I don't think I've ever been to a visual kei live where I didn't see a lolita.

>Cosplay does not exist within a vacuum where nothing outside matters
Yes. It does. Just like you can paint and write controversial topics, you can cosplay a character without worrying about the social issues. Cosplay is considered an art form and censoring art is backwards middle aged inquisition style bullshit. Especially when the "controversial topic" in cosplay is retarded petty crap like someone tanning for a cosplay instead of say, someone cosplaying as KKK members or Hitler out of admiration for them.

And "nitpicking", yeah, some people nitpick for nothing but seriously I see someone posting a photo of an "amazing" cosplay that has really bad construction and glaring inaccuracies and calling it a nitpick when people list all the obvious things wrong with it. Some people consider pointing out not wearing a wig or having an unsanded prop nitpicking.

At least call it lolita cosplay. Lolita fashion can not be cosplay in any way, but you can do a lolita version cosplay just like you can do a genderbend or sexy version cosplay.

Not OP but yes, I do, and that's my unpopular opinion. I honestly don't see the point of going out with a bunch of people whose only thing in common is the fashion they're wearing, just to show off your latest purchases and bitch about each other on anonymous boards lol

>bitch about each other on anonymous boards

>>
>>9575598
No, it doesn't. As long as real life people are cosplayers, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Cosplayers are real. And they all bring their beliefs and experiences with them when they put on that costume. No one is saying censor art. No one is saying to censor the costume. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD though. Freedom of [art] is not freedom from consequence.

I've seen people nitpick an overall good costume with bullshit. I saw this good D.Va on here once. She was young, and the photo quality was ass, but it was a good costume. It had texture and props glued to it. But, they nitpicked her for it not being tight enough. It was form fitting, but not skin tight. They also nitpicked her not wearing a wig even though she had brown hair cut and styled to look like the character. The worst part is being rude about it.
>>
3d printing is cheating for cosplay
Also, using someone else's pattern unless it's a generic pattern ruins the fun and you are essentially painting by numbers

Too many people in cosplay care more about the e Fame and recognition than the journey of learning and building things
>>
>>9575732
No I'm asking someone who does have a problem with meets how one might make friends outside of them. Read the thread.
>>
>>9575745
I said it wasn't much different. For example, take a skirt, cutsew, lace socks, and heels, maybe a cute bag to go with. That could be a casual coord, or it could be something that I saw some normie wearing on the street. It's not common, but I know a few girls who dress that way fairly regularly. I find it boring to look at, thus the unpopular opinion.

>>9575790
Fair. I got the words out of order. It would be a (lolita) cosplay, not the other way around, you're right.
>>
Prints date your wardrobe terribly. If you like the Milky Planet and Sugary Carnival days, you look right out of that 2009 era sweet. I always cringe thinking of how Holy Lantern is inevitably going to age.
>>
Lolita is too serious business for some. I don't get the need to plan a coord half a year beforehand and sometimes ita threads are just "need more x" on medicore and plain coords.
>>
>>9575986
It's too late for Holy Lantern, with how many times it's been rereleased it's already gotten old (in the "god not this again" way).
Caring about being on trend in an alternative fashion scene is pretty silly though.
>>
>>9575986
>If you like the Milky Planet and Sugary Carnival days, you look right out of that 2009 era sweet.

...that's kind of the point though? people who are fans of those prints are generally fans of the era they came from, so i don't see how it's an issue
>>
>>9575986

Actually, I agree with you, Sugary Carnival and Milky Planet belong to their own era from the past, not now. (Also do agree that people who like them now generally like them because of the nostalgia for that era as well).


That said, old school is recogniseably old school because of the cut and materials, not because of prints. Even modern lolita is recogniseably different with far more liberal use of chiffon and polyester, longer and more OTT cuts, where the only acceptable materials used to be cotton and maybe a little tulle, with simpler cuts. So while prints date your wardrobe terribly, so does everything else.
>>
>>9575905
>No, it doesn't. As long as real life people are cosplayers, it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Cosplayers are real. And they all bring their beliefs and experiences with them when they put on that costume.
Such as liking a character with a darker skin? What a damaging, racist belief to express.

yup. I have one bodyline and two taobao dresses. I only bought them because I actually liked the prints/cuts. Everything else is brand.

Honestly, if you're buying something from bodyline or taobao because it's cheap, you're doing it wrong. Buy the fashion because you love it.

This is honestly a lot that is wrong with the fashion in general. People who are buying it for being trendy and cheap as opposed to spending your hard earned money on something you love and will cherish.

Bunch a fakes especially on this board.

Really? Most drag I see is focusing on the eyeshadow and liner and then the eyebrows are huge too and can be natural colored or matches their eyeliner.

How do you feel about people who buy their costumes? Not everyone enjoys the construction aspect of cosplay.

As for the nitpicking issues, I have a friend who won't shave for his cosplays or take off his glasses for photoshoots. Then when we do group cosplays, he doesn't want to be characters that HAVE beards and/or glasses. Even though multiple people have talked to him about it, he just doesn't care that he's bringing down the quality of or group. Seriously he sticks out like a sore thumb in group photos. And then I'm there wearing colored contacts and covering up my actual eyebrows so I can put on fake ones that match my wig. So yeah, nitpicking is one thing, but refusing to do simple things that would greatly improve your cosplay or insisting that you don't need makeup at all is just low effort and low quality.

Unpopular opinion: The reason girls get more attention for their cosplays is because they put way more effort into it. Guys need to get overthemselves and learn to sew, style wigs, use shapewear and apply make-up rather than just complaining that girls get more attention for their cosplays.

Not trying to get political or into that "cultural apprpriation" bullshit but I think that Asians in lolita look weird because the clothes are inspired by European historical clothing.

When the black ship rolled in, it was interpreted in many different ways. Many Japanese immediately wanted to be western, because they say it as "new" and "modern". Japanese women have been wearing western fashion for over a hundred years.

>>9581119
That's what makes Lolita fashion so interesting; it's a ping-pong fashion that came about by bouncing the same general idea back and forth across the ocean for several decades.
>>
>>9581119
I know, I'm not telling anyone to stop wearing it but I can't help myself and not to see them like misplaced Asians in some botched historical clothes.

I think you can be a super kawaii fatty chan in Sweet Lolita and I actually think Sweet Lolita looks Better on chubby girls. I don't have an opinion on body shape with the two other substyles, but I've always though a more "rounded" or "soft" appearance looks better for Sweet. The worst for Sweet, in my opinion, are the girls who are close to underweight. I bounce between boney and normal (15lbs back and fourth) and I don't like the look of Sweet on me when I'm thinner.

THIS. Just take a look at the Meiji Restoration. Victorian fashion was huge. This, to me, has always been the root of lolita. There has to be a historical impetus. As far as it being Victorian or Rococo, its neither one nor the other, it pulls from so many period fashions, including Edwardian, Regency, Gothic and Romantic, Georgian, and even up to mid-century silhouettes. That's what I love-- it takes from all these periods and takes it out of time, culture, and obviously racial constraints.

Oh and another one:
>I dislike how the cheaper market makes everything more easy to get because it becomes normal to get items. Before it was harder, but once you had it you felt way more special and good because of it.

I think wearing lolita at a metal concert is bad taste unless you go to a band that is one of the stereotype emo bands and don't mind being counted as one of said emos. Ghost bc, avenged sevenfold, bullet for my valentine, and any screams crap. Not an elitist/purist but it's just not the place if you want to be taken serious by anyone who's not a special snowflake who all metalheads are purist bullies.

>people need to realise edgy just means "being different and standing out in a crowd because of it", and it's often used as positive and even necessary as models. It changed from using it in its own meaning but meant ironic because people were acting like they where edgy but where not to people calling anyone they don't like "edgy".
>>
>>9581376
It's bad taste at a metal concert because normally, there are two types of woman at metal concerts. Those who dress up and come because of the amount of man, who look all fancy, and those who come for the music, who wear bandshirts, easy to wear and moshpit in clothes and such. You'll look like you're a special snowflake.

Metalhead lolitas are fine, but at most proper metal concerts and festivals your dress has an extreme high change of ending smelling like beer and sweat, and possibly be ruined by not only smell but also rips and tears, which is why only people who think looking like a special snowflake is more important than having something practical. The only exception normally are emo bands, because there tend to be too many special snowflakes to hold a normal metal concert.

I go to many concerts and festivals. No mater if it's death, trash, black or whatever playing, this has been true for any non-stereotype emo band.

Feel free to wear what you like, but it's a bad place to make lolitas friends and people will think you're a special snowflake.
>>
>>9581368
Why would you want to be taken seriously by metalheads
>>
>>9581373
I do know how they are. Meet a lot. Any forgeneir I've met living in Japan agrees.
>>
>>9581397
>it's bad taste because other people will have misinformed opinions about you
I actually think it's bad taste too, but only because your nice clothes will end up dirty and maybe damaged. Not conforming to other people's stereotypes of women at metal concerts is not bad taste.
>>
>>9581397
I think you forget that there are lolita clothes that cost just as much as a band shirt. I don't think she goes in the latest chiffon OTT dress. There are also metal bands that perform for half empty pubs, but I guess that's not proper enough for you to count as metal.
>>
>>9581400
Your whole post reeks of putting Japanese lolitas on a pedestal. I'm from Nagano originally and I've spent tons of time with other Japanese lolitas and I find your weird "muh japanese roris can do no wrong" schtick really weird.

Why would you want to be taken serious by lolitas?

Metalheads are some of the greatest people I met, and the community is not so horribly sugarcoating as most in lolitas are. They are great people who stand ready for friends. First thing we do when arriving is generally hugging anyone we know. You come in alone, and leave with many friends. As long as you're not a SJW or go bother them with no reason they generally let you be. It's just a bad place to try to meet new lolitas, as you look like you don't fit in at all and most woman dress up fancy are there to find someone to fuck, especially when not wearing merch.
>>
>>9581412
Nice shitpost, but do you have anything of quality to add to the discussion or are you just here to meme?
>>
>>9581415
You want someone who wears lolita as her normal style to go out of her way and dress differently just so metalheads won't think she is there to find someone to fuck. Ridiculous.
>>
>>9581409
I know Japanese lolitas are not perfect, but whenever such topics come on when talking to Chinese or Japanese friends, these list of things are big differences we generally find between western and Asian coms, same for foreigners who I personally know who moved to east-asia for at least a half year. It's based on what I found in general conversation with these people and people who knew them for longer periods. If you experienced different, fine, but I'm not going to change my experience because a random person on the internet claims it wasn't like that when she lived there...
>>
>>9581415
No need to get so defensive, anon. Nobody was actually attacking metalheads, just wondering why you're so against a lolita wearing the clothes she likes at a concert. Just because X group is cool overall doesn't mean we should conform to their standards to please them.
>>
>>9581408
Never seen a decent piece for 10-20 euro, the price of an average official bandshirt. Let stand one that services a mosh pit and can easily be washed on high settings. Never did I see a Lolita at an event. My original point was it's a bad place to meet lolitas, and it is.
>>
>>9581425
Oh okay, band shirts can often be around 50 euro around here and I have lolita skirts that were 20 euro
>>
>>9581419
No. I wanted her to know that a metal concert is a bad place to find Lolita friends, and warn her that she will most likely not be taken seriously and might ruin her clothes.

It was just bad advice, sorry I offend you all with saying it is. If you want to wear it, do your thing, but for many reasons it's bad advice to tell someone a metal concert is a good place to make Lolita friends.
>>
>>9581420
I guess it's because you're an outsider looking in that you don't see how you're glamorizing them. I'm not saying that there isn't more leeway with rules, Im just pointing out how you have your head so far up east asians/japanese lolitas asses.
>>
>>9581425
>>9581432
She actually didn't advice her to make lolita friends at metal concerts, anon asked her how she met her lolita friends and she replied
>>
>>9581421
It's mainly the reasoning "a good place to find lolita friends" that I disagreed upon. Wearing it is fine if you wish, but be aware about general connotations.

>>9581431
Not sure where you life or get your stuff, but unless I buy a good quality hooded zip or hoody I don't have to pay that at all. But with 50 euro it's indeed more logic, although lolita is still far less sturdy and harder to wash afterwards.
>>
>>9581397
Oh I agree that it's probably best to wear something you don't mind getting dirty but if I want to mosh in my lolita, I'll goddamn well do so. If I'm already wearing such an out there alternative fashion I hardly care about people's perceptions of me.
>>
>>9581435
So why don't you tell us the truth about japanese lolitas, nagano-chan? I guess all the girls without petticoat and limp hair I saw there were just my wishful thinking because I love to see itas so much.
>>
>>9581439
Sage for OT but my lolita clothes are far better than my band shirts, they lose colour and print after washing a few times
>>
>>9581435
Perhaps. But I do know Japanese have enough bad things too. I just only named the positive ones, because I don't want the negative ones in the western com (so it seemed irrelevant).
>>
>>9581443
Please go back and reread my post.

>I'm not saying that there isn't more leeway with rules

That's wasn't the point, not once did I argue that they're as harsh with it as the west. My point is you're being creepy with saying shit like

Because arround 80% are guys, and the other 20% are not all lolita's, so changes of finding one are pretty small. Unless going to a band that is stereotyped to be an emo band, it's and extremely small change and if you go to a place with 80% guys, tons of beer, and are dresses as what would be generally percieved as a woman trying to be a special snowflake or a woman looking to fuck, you might end having a horrible day.

It was more a warning than anything. Most people don't like getting hit as if they're sluts by sweaty, drunk guys.

Like I said, do and wear what you want, but be warned, especially if you just go to make lolita friends.
>>
>>9581470
Didn't mean to sound like that. If that's the case, I'm sorry. I feel many western people their bonestructure just don't look quite right in OTT sweet. There are exeptions tho, I worded it wronly when I said "only". It's a most cases thing tho.

The thing with the circle lences is that people most western people look like they are wearing halve sclera lenses, while east-asian people generally use them together with eye-lid tape and create a proportional better looking eye.

Like I said before, I only listed the positive things in the list because I didn't want the negative things to come over. making a list with random negative things about japan seemed irrelevant and kinda out of place now.

And like I started "Not cgl unpopular exclusive". Most of the things seem to be at least a minority compared to the popular opinions arround. Especially on CGL a lot of people come because you can say unpopular stuff without worrying about a witch-hunt for having said opinion, so it's not entirely unlogic these opinions are more common on cgl.

She seemed to be guinuinly interested in finding lolita friends wihout going to comm meets, which makes it feel like advice. Perhaps it's not literally advice, but it easily could be taken as such and I just wanted to warn that a metal concert might not be the best place to go for making lolita friends, and might end negativly. If you love metal and lolita, go for it, but don't go to meet lolitas.

Honestly, I suck at explaining, so I think I just worded it badly. generally, once I explai people see my point and even tho not always agree, the don't think I'm a morron, which is why I keep replying. I didn't mean it bad, I swear. It was meant as an honest warning.

What's the point of putting a shit ton of time and effort into making your costume as gorgeous as possible if you can't be bothered to wash your face, lose some weight and put on make up?

Designers choose models who will make their work look good. Why don't people do the same for a costume they spend so much time on? And then they get upset when all the comments they see are about how greasy their face is or people laughing at their fat rolls. 'But the *craftsmanship* and the *costume*...' yeah, and you are a part of that costume, if you want it to look good you should be putting in just as much work into yourself as you are onto the fabric.

If you can spend a year hand embroidering a costume, you can spend a year trying to eat right and learning how to put on the most basic make up.

Honestly. The pictures coming in from Costume College are depressing. So many gorgeous gowns eclipsed by frizzy hair and sunken eyes and rolls of fat trying to escape from a corset.

No. I've heared it before but I also know people who truly believe this. They say the same about black people often.

By that, people also get butthurt about white people wearing asian clothing (qipao, kimono, yutata, hanfu, etc), and people get angry saying black people should not have blond hair, so I see no reason to say it's bait just based on it being used as bait in the past. I know people who actually have this opinion, especially when it comes to very obvious historical inspired classic coords.

This is such a clusterfuck of an explanation. Most gulls say it to single people out and make them feel like they're "degenerate" because of their "embarrassing behavior".

There sure is a ton of mental gymnastics on this board lately, trying to change the meaning of words just so you can keep calling people names via your made up rules.

>>
>>9581664
It changed from using it in its own meaning but meant ironic, because people were acting like they where edgy but where not,

to people calling anyone they don't like "edgy".

Should have placed more "," signs.

But no, the word "edgy" has been used in high fashion for over 20 years. Models are supposed ot be edgy/have an edge. Being different and standing out, but still being pretty, is a great attribute for a model. It means the model will draw attention, and if she/he models right, she/he makes you want to buy her clothes, make-up, or whatever, or makes you believe in a story that the photo was supposed to tell.

This is my whole point. People seem to think it's just a random wordt people use to insult someone, and forget it's an actual used word, often used in a positive context. People are calling names without knowing what they are calling them, which is just stupid.

I'm not trying to change a words meaning. I find it stupid people continously use words as insult without knowing what they are insulting people as. I feel you should only use words you understand, because you otherwise look like a moron when someone who does know the word hears it...
>>
>>9581696
m8 you talk about context and ignore the context that it's most commonly used in on 4chan? Talk about ironic you call others morons.
>>
I think chubby and fattychans, provided they have very pretty faces, are the cutest lolitas.
>>
>>9581698
I'm saying that creating a new context by using an insult wrongly is stupid, even if the new context becomes commonly used.

It becomming commonly used just makes it more stupid. People blindly follow a crowd and repeat things they have no clue it means.

Originally, the insult was for people trying to be different and do things because flaunting "they are not like other people". THEY where being edgy, altrough in a negative sense, hence it was being said sarcastic. In that way, I don't mind "edgy" being used, it makes sense.

But people blindly took the insult over and used it on non-fitting places because they don't know it's meaning, so they don't know when it should be used. And when enough people did that that people just assume it was meant something else.

It's like eveyone starting to call anyone who looks bad fatty-chan, even if their are thin. If everyone starts calling that it doesn't become less stupid, it just becomes wrongly used and over used.

I much rather see insults that actually make sense than a overly-used word that's used wrongly most of the time anyways...

I guess it's an unpopular opinion indeed.
>>
>>9581725
*correction. THEY where trying to be edgy, altrough percieved in a negative sense. They actually failed as they tended to be a group of people doing the same attentionwhoring stuff in order to act edgy.

The fact they wehre not edgy but trying to be made the ironic part work well.
>>
>>9581725
>>9581696
How do you not see the irony of what you're saying?

Word meanings change. Context matters.
>>
>>9581727
>point being: it's stupid to take insults over wrongly.
>even more stupid if everyone starts doing it.

To me it still feels stupid. I don't think the context changes a meaning like that. I think people are just stupid ignorant herd animals who blindly say what they heard someone else say, even if they don't know how and when to use it. A word can change by actual redefining, but not by idiots who blindly repeat stuff they don't understand so often people get used to it.

Like I said, unpopular opinion.
>>
>>9581725
>I'm saying that creating a new context by using an insult wrongly is stupid, even if the new context becomes commonly used.


But anon, this is literally how language evolves? How are you this dumb?
>>
>>9581741
>>9581741
generally, it doesn't evolve by people being idiots and blindly repeating others wrongly. Generally, it evolves because what it being said makes sense in some kind of way, which is why it get's repeated. Also, a lot of times, it's something that has no proper way of saying yet, so people create a way to say it.
>>
>>9581725
>I guess it's an unpopular opinion indeed.
I think you are not understanding the site you are on. I don't think its possible that you've been posting here longer than say, three months tops.

You are painstakingly new...
There's a reason why people are yelling the word "context" at you right now. Because lots of words are used incorrectly on this site.

Before you can go dissecting what people are saying, you gotta know both meanings of the word.

>it can't mean this
It does have its own meaning here, however.
>>
>>9581802
It's used in this very same context all over the web and in real life, which is why it get's so annoying. People do it everywhere. It's not a 4chan thing, it's a people in general thing.

I know how people are using it, I know and understand both "meanings". It just get's annoying everyone is using it so wrongly because they are blindly repeating other peoples insults. And whenever I use it in it's original context, people get mad because they don't even know what it means.
>>
>>9581832
No.. the meaning on 4chan is different from how it's used on other sites. You're talking about it being used for models and shit.. Yeah, that's the normie definition.

Then there is the 4chan definition. It's different than when people post on worldstar or instagram. I've seen it on other sites too. But on here it means, "behavior we don't agree with to appear more moral than you"
>>
>>9581835
>"behavior we don't agree with to appear more moral than you"
Ah alright, that definition does sound somewhat logic. My bad then. My dislike was meant towards the huge amount of people who use it as an insult to anyone anywhere on the web or in real life, even tho people are not being "edgy" in an sarcastic or non-sarcastic way. Literally the moments where people use the word randomly because it's a popular insult, but have no clue what it means, only that it's an insult. (The original insulting version was to some emo/scene kids being attentionwhores I believe, not fashion related, that was just an example of it actually being used in a non-insulting way).

I just feel using words you don't understand simply because it's popular to use is stupid, and edgy is one that's nowadays very popular in to use like that. My bad if it wasn't intended like that this time.
>>
>>9575914
If you're going from 3D model to finished/prop/costume accessory there is still a ton of work involved. It's just a different way of going about making it.

Some people may disagree but they do have good costumes, wigs, and photos. They don't just want to make Halo or Mass effect armor so they're actually interesting too.

No. 1
The cosplayers who complain a lot about craftsmanship, sexy costumes, and how someone looks in general are just as circle jerky and annoying as their hated titty cosplayer counterparts. This used to be me. Idk if it's just me getting a bit more mature about it or what but the super elitists can eat shit.
I would say about 8 times out of 10 the titty cosplayers are even more accepting of others than people who think they're the "real" cosplayers.
I wish people could take a minute to realize that a lot of the people just doing this out of love and as a hobby shouldn't be expected to have everything about what they do be perfect.
I only really don't like a cosplayer anymore if they're an obvious attention whore who wants maximum popularity pissing match rights for minimal costume effort, basically tits and wig types of people. Or just general toxics.
No.2
This board has been totally taken over by Lolita and Jfash shit. I know that's for a reason but I miss being able to come here almost every day to talk about cosplay and convention stuff.
I would make more threads but there really isn't as many people around here anymore that want to talk about cosplay outside of the help threads or when a big con thread rolls around.
>>
>>9581853
>My dislike was meant towards the huge amount of people who use it as an insult to anyone anywhere on the web or in real life
We're actually on the same page. I have a huge distaste for shitty 4chan culture and similar sites who help drive this culture.

Honestly I feel like if you call someone edgy, especially if it's for something like "how dare she smoke cigarettes, absolutely pig disgusting she only took a picture of it to be ~edgy~" then you're probably edgy yourself.
Much like people who come here to say shit is cringe are pretty cringey themselves. And if you call them on it, they get hella defensive.

However, I find repetitive memes to be appalling and gulls who take part in that shit are the reason there is so much misinformation on this board.
>>
>>9581962
Yeah. It sucks the cosplay.com boards went to shit. I miss having forums to talk cosplay. Facebook is just too much of a hassle. Navigation sucks, picture storage sucks, making a cosplay only account page is a nightmare.

I just want to meet cosplayers over 20 in my area.
>>
>>9581962
Then you don't agree with me at all. I have a huge dislike for people using words (wrong because) they don't know the exact definition and use it solely because it's a trend to use the word.

I don't even mind the word "edgy" being used, as long as it's done correctly.

I actually prefer 4chan to most places. I feel like many places are way to sugarcoated because people need there safespace and can't take responsibilities. I like how people can say their honest opinion on 4chan without being witch-hunted and find that here on cgl, people generally aren't that bad. Site, there are people just creating bait or drama, but in general, I feel that 4chan is more honest in any kind of reply or concrit, even when it's harsh.

I tend to be the person who refuses to sugarcoat on places like Facebook too. People's reaction is general to send me hate PMs with no real context without saying what I did wrong, then block me before I can reply. That way, I can't find what groups I have incommon and what it was I did wrong, other than it most likely me stating my opinion as respectful as possible, but it not being the opinion they want to hear.

In all honesty, I hate humans in itself. They're egocentric, ignorant and hypocritical in there very nature, one just shows it less than another (and yes, that also includes myself). When people are being really big idiots, I don't mind them being called out. If people don't want that, they should learn to think before posting things online instead of crying on Facebook, tumblr, or even here on 4chan.

And unlike common believe I'm a happy person with real life friends, where I behave just like this. People know I won't always have a nice opinion, but that if they ask me I will always be honest and am always ready to help friends in any way I can. The only ones considering me a bitch are people in need of a safespace, generally only meet them online.

Fair point, but for me it's mainly just that I find 4chan posting boxes horribly annoying. They're small and when I try to select something further than the size of the box it scrolls way to far. I'm also dyslectic, so I sometimes just don't notice typos well. But like I said, fair point.

>Fashion for women is made to appeal to men & that includes Lolita. Any straight/bi Lolita that says she's dressing for herself/her comm & not men/her bf is just lying to herself. You may not be an ageplayer but the fact remains us straight women dress up to appeal & look cute to men, or at least I do & I don't find anything wrong with that.

>I'm a lone Lolita, I only wear it for dates (not even an ageplayer but I do wear it to look cute & appeal to guys) regardless what seagulls would say imo I'm STILL more of a Lolita than girls who only wear it to meets & conventions, at least I'm treating it like fancy, cute date-wear & not a costume. Tbh I don't even understand comm culture in the first place, its a cute fashion not a costume.

I agree with these. But then again, I usually wear toned down VM/MM/(some)IW. Fanny Rosie is my queen.

As for dressing for men, I dress more because I feel beautiful and authentically me in it/I think it looks beautiful on other women. I also care about my boyfriend's opinion(although he came after I started lolita and made the conscious deduction that he liked my style) on how I look and think it's adorable when little boys/girls think I'm a princess and act really politely towards me (I once was at a butterfly garden and a small child tried to pick me flowers. It was so cute).
I'm bi, so I guess it's a little of both.
>>
>>9584988
I guess I just feel beautiful/cute fashion in general is made to help us better appeal to our respective attracted sex, remember being nude or in just very simple, comfortable & easy to move in clothes is what truly comes naturally to us; why would we even want to look beautiful/cute if not for a mate's approval?

There's no shame in admitting & accepting that either, I feel its thanks to the current SJW & feminism clusterfuck that more & more women are ashamed of accepting this & try to put on airs with the whole "I dress FOR ME~!!"

There's no shame in wanting to dress for a mate, its normal & natural. Of course if I ever dared post this opinion on tumblr I'd probably get crucified by crazy feminists.
>>
>>9584988
>But what if you do both?
Then I guess you're alright.
>>
>>9584994
I mean while I agree to an extent, dressing in toned down classic is comfy and easy for me to move around in. There's also the added notion of what your respective society considers ideal in terms of women and femininity. Lolita...doesn't exactly match up with the current ideal. But, it's what I feel best aligns with how I feel I am. Arguing that I'm doing it for men is valid, but I'd rather refine that statement to reflect since I'm dressing in a way that I'm happiest, I'm advertising how I am as a woman and thus attracting people who are complementary to that. It's implicit, not conscious. I think we're kinda on the same page at the end of the day, you're just a little more deliberate about it
t. I wear this stuff daily

Whoops forgot to mention my main point more nakedly: wearing lolita isn't to attract men in general, it's to attract certain types of men/women. But, it can also be argued that by not appealing to the lowest common denominator and wearing what I think is beautiful, it's also a form of self expression. Both are two sides of the same coin, it just depends what you prioritize at the given moment for what reasoning you subscribe to

Well I was brought up to believe & studied that men, at least alpha men are generally attracted to femininity, cuteness & innocence. It symbolizes that one is young & a virgin that hasn't been touched by any other man, always trying to look young is a must if a woman wants to keep their man's attention on her since men can't help but be attracted to young women (NOT kids though, there's nothing normal about a man being attracted to prepubescent women that's a legit gross mental disorder) since it signals prime fertility.

I think this is why when I first started getting into the fashion & lurking online I was honestly confused by how many Lolitas seemed absolutely ~scandalized~ & ~shocked~ over some of the more cutesy designs AP puts out, automatically attributing it to some deviant fetish. Its not, its just a certain overly cute style meant for very feminine women who want to attract very dominant men who find such innocence & the fact they got all dressed up just for them appealing. This is all just very natural & not indicative of pedo behavior at all, but the West has become so hyper-feminist & 'PC' that a woman daring to dress childish or younger than she is offends their delicate progressive sensibilities. Why else do y'all think kawaii fashion & culture is so normalized in Japan compared to here & no one there would even THINK of hurling age play accusations towards women dressed in OTT sweet AP?

TD;LR: Feminism & SJW warped women's minds & the west as well, now anything trying to make women ultra cute & appealing is seen as 'deviant' & a 'fetish.'

>inb4 some salty tumblrina yells at me to go back to /pol/

Anyways it was nice talking to you anon, glad to see there's still some sane Lolitas left in this fashion.

Thank you for talking with me! I think there's some evidence to support your line of thinking, my boyfriend is quite the mountain man (while still having nerdy interests/cosplaying with me).
(Also it might be surprising but I actually consider myself a feminist in terms of equal rights. Maybe that's why I see things in a slightly different shade. I'm also a burger in a particularly blue area, which might contribute. I just think a broad movement attracts many types of people, and unfortunately right now a lot of people in the movement are a bit light on brains)
Sage for OT

>3d printing is cheating for cosplay
Different anon, but I feel the same way. 3D printing does admittedly have some work involved, but if it's the kind of model that you can just rip something from a game, print it out, sand it, and paint it, then that's just lazy. If I find out something is 3d printed instead of scratch built or even bought, I lose a lot of interest/respect in whatever that object is, be it an accessory, or a prop or a toy or whatever.

If a woman wants to appeal to men, there's about a thousand other things she could wear that are higher up on the list than lolita. The truth is that most men don't like lolita and don't really like the way girls look in it unless it is specifically their interest/fetish. Of course I want to look cute for my boyfriend, but it's still me who picks the style of clothing. If my boyfriend thought I'd look most attractive in crop tops and skinny jeans I still wouldn't wear them.

Kind of interesting how the tattoo hate comments don't get as much flak when it's essentially the same complaint.

>>9585023
I'm honestly fine with feminists, just as long as they're moderate & not the crazy SJW type ones.

>>9584891
You dress for guys, but you are lonelita by a choice. Bait harder anon.

>>9585136
I think she meant she's a lonelita in the context of not joining a comm/only wearing Lolita for dates.

>>9584860
Projection much?

You sound very self centered- 'I dress for men therefore everyone else does too' 'JetJ is ita therefore it is' The fact that you're a lone Lolita is no surprise given how elitist you are in your unpopular opinions about why we dress the way we do and about the Japanese brands that help shape the many styles of Lolita. You've never contributed anything to the Lolita community and you've probably never even been to Japan. Your opinions are yours but far from the truth. Get out more and meet more people anon.

>seagull trying to use 'elitist' as an insult
>Acts like going to Japan is the be all & end all that every girl should strive for

Oh I am laffing!

>you've probably never even been to Japan

Unfortunately not all of us that dress in Lolita are weebs or think Japan is the be-all, end-all of everything. I just like some of their fashion, but thank you for reminding me that I made the right decision in never joining a comm. Its clearly obvious most of you really are a bunch of nerds whom I probably have nothing in common with besides an interest in Lolita.

Now I see where all the pearl-clutching, ageplay vilification comes from. You're all pretty much the female equivalent to forever alone beta-male nerds, most of you are either single or settling for some 5/10 beta rather than a 10/10 rich Chad.

Visiting Japan is not about being a weeb or thinking the Japanese are right about everything. It's expanding your cultural bubble by experiencing more than just your own small town since you have such strong opinions about the fashion. But this is cgl so I don't expect everyone to live beyond the Internet.

I always complain about those when I see them but obviously I can't respond to the ones I don't see.

I think tattoos are ok and I think that regardless of what it is, just get over it. Like piercings, tattoos and scars should be fine but 4chin moral police needs to act as grandma to tell the younguns all about how tattoos and piercings are gross.

I hate Love Live and don't understand the love for it. It's moeshit weeb trash. Also Nico is absolute shit why is it that all the girls love her so much.
All my friends love this shit anime and i'm kinda tired to hear them go Niconico Nii and sing Love Live/put on LL songs everytime we're together

Muslims shouldn't wear Lolita. If they can't wear it in their respected countries, then they shouldn't wear it here. They're breaking the rules and then claiming Islamophobia for anyone who disagrees.
>>
No one who isn't young, thin and female should wear clothes. They don't deserve fashion at all, they only ruin the clothes and hurt everyone else's eyes. The fabric is better used for the beautiful people
