TL;DR USA is a collapsing super power and maybe we should stop considering Americans on lolita/j-fashion forums.

As an European I'm biased but I'm willing to hear what everyone has to say about this subject. I understand this board was made by an American so it can stay American but maybe there's should be Eurasian alternative.

I was about to make this thread before but now a good example of this problem popped up >>10577324 I'm not saying there's no racism, transphobia or fat-shaming in Eurasia. It's hard to speculate nationality of a bigot at an anonymous forum but European comms have so far been very inclusive. We should combat these injustices when we face them in reality.

Americentrism is a greater problem with big sizes that they believe are normal all around the world (and the entitlement to demand brands making bigger sizes). It's one of the reasons why most of the Western indie brands don't look so good because they're "forced" to make garments for every size and give less of an attention to the actual design to look good.

There are bigger sizes made by Japanese brands but not enough people are buying them. There's not enough buying power to make it profitable and it's very understandable 'cause poverty is what makes people obese in US. Healthy bigger women with money fit shirred Angelic Pretty, Baby etc.

It was clear that USA is on it's way out but Covid-19 made it more evident. China already is the new super power, like it or not. I would like to enjoy this time of transition with Europeans and Asians coming together and talk about our favorite fashion without considering Americans (because they haven't considered us in a long time).

Have any other European/Asian felt this way lately? Are there other americentrist problems in the international community that were not mentioned? And Americans, what are your thoughts?
