>What do you think of lolitas carrying stuffed animals?
It looks cute but I'd prefer if people never did this at meets (unless it's a con), since the general public always associate it with ageplay (or with people with mental disabilities who need comfort toys) and it causes problems for the rest of us. Unless it looks like you just bought it and are carrying it home, hugging a soft toy as you walk around makes people whisper about how they think you might literally be retarded, especially when you're already wearing childish clothes. Stuffed animal bags or bag charms can be okay but often produce the same reaction, so still a little awkward.
>What do you think of lolitas carrying dolls?
Again, looks cute by itself, makes you look mental in public.
>What do you think of lolitas wearing animal ears?
It's tacky and I hate it, I don't even think it's cute. For some reason I think bear ears are the least awkward, cat ears and bunny ears have worse associations and look stupider.

>inb4 "but we all look equally weird to normies!!! do what u want and ignore the norms!!"
There's a quantifiable difference in the nastiness of the response between people thinking you're a girl that's dressed really weird/going to a fancy dress party/in a play and people thinking you're dressed like a kid because you either have the mind of a child or have a fetish for pretending to be one. Yeah, some people will make ageplay assumptions anyway but it'll only be a small amount of people you meet, hugging a stuffie as you walk around guarantees that it'll be nearly everyone.

I have barely anything non-oldschool in my folder to dump for this but I'll have a look, I do have a couple of modern pics with usakumyas kicking around somewhere.
