Cont... To analyze the fashion further... These clothes are associated with children and dolls by outside society. Whether we like it or not, the clothing is so often associated with the clothing cuts for children and dolls because it is the only physical embodiment and remnants of victorian fashion that we have today that lingers with surface level accessibility to normies. The concept of the child is fucking scary, they're creative, they see things adults can't see, they're smart, they're charged with archetypal meaning- and to see this on an adult (when not in the form of a sissy or ita for gods sake) is like seeing Sumara. Its the contradiction this fashion has that makes it so iconic, and so worth protecting via gatekeeping.
