/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

this is an obvious necrothread but it's kind of depressing how many people here have internalised the "you sound fat" or "anyone that isn't a life size replica of malibu barbie is secretly a gross sissy MAN" to the point they left or are leaving the fashion out of self consciousness and fear of being made fun of over being tall or whatever the fuck.

why bother engaging in a fashion dedicated to avoiding the male gaze if we're all just going to schizopost all day about how Ugly everyone is and enforce MALE-established standards on each other anyway?

if you've thought about leaving the fashion over some vague appearance flaw that makes you less attractive to men, ask yourself why you joined lolita in the first place and go talk to people on literally any other website. i haven't seen this behaviour anywhere else in years.

"the practice of dressing up as a character from a movie, book, or video game."

Keep trying, the term clo-lita doesn't hold any weight unless it's accurate. I always assumed it mean "clown-lita" like your outfit makes you look like a clown ass bitch, not like it makes more sense or anything.

Yer some special kind of stupid, ain't ya'?

disclaimer pre-covid stuff
> love lolita
> would love to get some lolita pals to hang with
> got to cons
> bunch of cringy dabbing idiots dressed in replicas
> go to meetups
> autists with zero self awareness talking about their trauma's and mental ilnesses when I literally just met them
> also lots of dabbing and jojo references

Are there any lolita's on this planet that aren't fucking retarded? Where do I go to meet the normal ones once covid's gone?

My best friend who ended up becoming my best lolita friend as well (after a couple years she decided to give the fashion a go) is being really distant and aggressive towards me... Honestly I'm not sure what to do.

She's gone as far as accusing me of ripping off her style in front of other friends, tried telling me I'm not allowed to wear a certain colour because it's "hers" despite never raising a stink when our other friends wear it in their coords... She even tried claiming that the items I was buying weren't "my style" and I think she was trying to call back to "ripping off" her style. She asked me to twin with her and then got mad that I bought something to match the dress I bought, coming after me saying it was too close to something she would wear...

Not to mention how she acts like she's superior in the fashion somehow. I've only been wearing it 7 years longer than her so obviously I don't know anything I'm talking about. It's not like I helped her pick out her first coord. I thought we were on the same footing, but she makes it clear to me that she thinks she's better than me and it's honestly making me resentful. Especially since a couple years ago she said it was something she would never be interested in! But now she acts like she's the best person to have ever worn the fashion!

We used to be really really close and all of this has been hurting me really badly. I keep trying to tell myself that she's probably going through something, but her non-answers and avoidance to even outside mutual interests has gotten too much to handle. Outside of lolita even if I bring up ANYTHING I'm interested in, if she's not interested she writes it off as something stupid and if it's something she also likes she tries to make a point of how she's better/more suited/more knowledgeable than me. We've gone from talking daily for hours for YEARS to only talking in public (online) settings.

tl;dr my friend turned into a bitch

I hope this is larping because its super cringey if its genuine. Acting like the other girls in your comm don't enjoy sex or whatever else because they aren't loud obnoxious sluts in public. geez

God this thread is a fucking mess
