/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

I cant stand that lolita is a staple in the anime con scene now. Lolita is a japanese fashion, not animu or whatever. Aside from the occasional collab it has nothing in common with anime in Japan.

But this blend of cosplay, anime and lolita, on this board and at conventions has made the western comm's idea of lolita more of a costume instead of an actual fashion. I despise conlitas who literally wear it as a lolita costume to cons. Don't tell me they are still treating it as a fashion, while only wearing it to convetions.

It is awesome that this blend has given brand fashion shows and tea parties, but I still hate what it has done to the fashion and it's perception.
