>Is someone who only wears lolita to cons and meetups, but attends one every weekend still not a real lolita?

Again it's not about being a tru~ lolita and anyone else is a fake and should gtfo, it's about calling yourself a lolita like it's part of your core identity. But someone who wears it like any other fashion, you can get more into other things every now and then. Like just once a week or every other week for full lolita. Even just something like this pic. The place they go to doesn't change that when it's just clothes they wear regularly.

It's more a complaint about "lolita at heart" people who try to force the life style thing. You can't claim to be part of a subculture you don't actually participate in. Lots of goths only really dress up for events and don't go to clubs that often, but they still wear gothic clothing day to day and listen to the music. The problem is literally the only way to participate is wearing it. At absolute most shopping for it. You can discuss it for hours everyday, but someone who doesn't own any lolita isn't "a lolita." Someone who collects lolita items but doesn't wear them is just like a toy collector. Mr Yan having lolita stock doesn't make him a lolita. It's the whole someone who likes goth music vs someone who calls themselves a "real goth" schematics type of thing.

>I disagree with your points about wigs, makeup and lenses

Fair enough, that's why I'm saying it here and not the general. Kawaii make up meaning the eyebags and big eye trick type of thing btw.
