I ended up meeting one of the most important people from one of my greatest memories ever at the con I'm at this weekend. I had met them once before, at a con, and it's been like six years since then. I did not expect them to ever see them again, and I was almost happy about it because then there'd be no chance of my experience six years ago getting ruined. Back then they had actually tried to keep me in their group, even when I tried to escape to avoid being annoying, and I've almost never experienced that. I've been with people at conventions other times as well, but usually I have to push to stay with them and if I try to avoid them we'll not be together.
Anyway, seeing them and saying a few words to them was really powerful, and I started to cry a bit when I went my way. I've been thinking back to that thing siz years ago at least a few times a month ever since.
Then I had to watch the cosplay competition, and I got to think about that instead.

I wonder, should I take this as a sign to quit cosplay? Or at least never go to this con again. I can wear most of what I wore six years ago again tomorrow, then I'll start and end my time with this con with the same outfit. Would be fitting right.
There are reasons to quit cosplay too, all the things I want to cosplay are unattainable, I got no one to make cosplay photos or videos with, competing is really not for me either, and my time at this convention this year has been mostly boring, and I don't have any active fandoms.
Been thinking about quitting next year when I've done a few things I want to do, then I can quit this con after tomorrow since it's fitting and then I won't do this anymore.
Too bad I got nothing else. As much alone as I am at this con it's still one of the most social things I do.

Anon try living in the moment. Do things for the joy of doing them and when they stop bringing you happiness then find something new. It sounds like you are afraid to have your memories tainted out of some sort of melancholy. Nothing can change how great that day was. It was then and it can't be touched. You can try to have equally good days, don't expect them to be as wonderful but be open to it. Shutting things down before the experience can start things on a flat note. If you like cosplay enjoy it and the character you work on. In the meantime you may want to speak to someone and remember you have you.

I recently lost a family member and can’t come back to my old passion for j fashion as I always get flashbacks when wearing my favorite dresses. How can I stop that? I love my dresses so much, but it also hurts so much wearing them.

>> No.10006680

>>10006606
I have some memories that should objectively speaking be better than that one, but they are a little bit ruined by knowing that the people involved didn't want to keep talking to me or anything when we moved apart. That we never had any contact later so I didn't get to learn that they didn't like me is a big part of why it's so good.

I like the idea of cosplay, and having finished costumes, or even just something to do, but I have nothing to work towards. All the things I want to do are impossible, and I don't really have fun cosplaying either, I'm just bored and walking all over the con hoping that someone will talk to me and we can spend the day together.

I decided to wear my first outfit for this con by the way, but it's embarrassing, the colors are completely wrong and it includes things from a dead fandom.

I am at this con and I see people everywhere that I have talked to before, but at most we greet, and everyone have someone else to be with.

By the way I just saw that person from my first visit to this con talking to one of the people I spent time with at my second time at this con AND someone I first met for my third time at this con. I didn't know that any of them knew each other, and now I see them being friends. I get jealous.
A bit worried that paying too much attention to this may be stalkerish by the way so I'll try to think about something else

i feel you, thats a pretty sucky situation to be in

it's perfectly fine to get tired of hobbies. the one thing I will say though, is that you don't have to be a part of a fandom to cosplay that character. if you have more fun making costumes and meeting up with people, it's perfectly fine to just pick the flavor of the month and go from there.

met a girl, connected right off the bat. she has bf.
next year i see her again, hang out all three days.
next year the same.
my brother is friends with her, i never knew. each year she is still with bf. but the following year it's ex-fiance. he dumped her. my brother tells me and i hope to see her in the upcoming con. but she has new bf.
this past con, i meet up with her again and it's no ex-bf.
still hang out with her.

i don't actively search her out, we just find each other by accident. even in cosplay where we're hiding our faces we still find each other.

It depends on genetics. When you reach your early 30s the rate of getting pregnant is about 57-80% so it’s not the worst, however miscarriage is about 20%

I don't care much about halloween. It's not a thing in my country and I don't even know the exact date because I always forget anyways. If it wasn't for the continuous attention in lolita comms I'ld forget it exists.

I really don't get the hype around it. I wear black clothes every day of the year, and in lolita I also only wear gothic. It always feels kinda weird that non-gothic fans suddenly wear "gothic lolita" in October as if it's seasonal wear and a halloween costume to them. A lot of the prints are so cutfied to fit the non-gothic taste of lolita's but still be halloween-y that I don't care much about them either.

In the mean time I see a lot of people online getting happy about it, espepcially many gothic lolitas and gothics. And I just don't get it. Most decoration you can buy looks cheap so the buying of that doesn't become more interesting, the only addons to alternative styles and even cultures are done as costume or as a "funny" "let's do this weird stuff as a joke/costume" kinda thing, and many young adults just use it as another exuse to party and drink way too much, like any other holiday. I think very few people know it's origin either, so that also became pretty useless about the day. The only thing I like is the candy part, but we had another holiday for that in my country so I wasn't missing out on that as a kid.

Every October I'm just here like "here we go again" and hope it's not too much overshadowing the post I do find interesting.

I've always loved Halloween but as a sweet lolita I have literally nothing to wear on Halloween-themed meetups. I don't really feel like purchasing anything that is not my style, not to mention a whole coord, for just one occasion. If only a pink Holy lantern walked into my life... but until then I'm not going to be able to celebrate Halloween in lolita. I still get why people feel the urge to go gothic during this season because it's a lot more ~edgy and witchy~ than what they're used to and to some it's probably fun to experiment with different styles.

Yeah. I get wanting to experiment and standing out less during that time so it's a nice moment to try it out. But especially for lolita's who have been around longer and do it each year again and never outside of it, it kinda feels weird. Kinda like they use gothic lolita only as a halloween costume, but then complain to normies that lolita is no costume.

Perhaps my post sounded a more harsh than intended. I know it's not always like this and a lot of people don't have any kind of "let's do weird" ideas of bad intentions, or take alternative fashion and cultures as a joke to wear/play with for fun. I was ranting a bit. I just never understood the hype of halloween and I kinda got lost in writing everything I've seen people do with halloween in general that I dislike and/or just don't get the charme from. I understand it's not like that for others, as well that that isn't how most people use halloween. Obviously it's not, else it wouldn't be so loved.

It's more that I can't really get around it and it burries treads I find interesting. But I'm sure I forgot about it next month until the halloween posts start again a year later. It's not that big of a deal really. It just isn't my holiday I guess. Just a bit tiring to see it on each online comm because they're all having multiple posts/treads related to it a whole month every year while I never really liked the holiday. But on the other side, I'm sure everyone has some reoccuring topics they dislike seeing, which is mainly my feel here (beside that mine is sure to return anually, and most others are with unknown timespans). I still like the bodymodification and "what do you wear outside lolita" treads on RC, as long as they are far enough apart that there are most likely a decent amount of new members or the questions is more specific/unusual than the general ones always asked. And people complained that's been beating a dead horse as well.

Either change yourself to the norm, or harden up and build a shell against people considering you different. Those are your only options really. Doing stuff that's not the norm will always make you looked down upon. If you can man up on that life is a thousand times more fun doing your own thing. But if you're mentally to weak to stop caring the only other option is to confirm to the norm.

I believe it had more to do with different part of the body having different chromosomes. So like, your arm could technically be xx while your dick is xy (very rough version/explanation just to make the point obviously, I don't even get enough character to properly explain, nor do I want to. If you care, search it up yourself in actual research papers with validity and not random websites I would say).

In the end, it's only a problem if reproductive organs and brain differ much from each other. That would actually cause trans, and is rare. Doesn't explain this huge amount of "trans" people nowadays. Honestly, I feel a lot of people are being special snowflakes + a lot of people talk their children into it as soon as they have any interest in something typically for the other gender.

Doesn't change that no one wears Christmas sweaters in summer or they'll be weird. It isn't regular clothes. It's seasonal weird at it's core. But for lolitas it's normal to wear gothic all year round. It's not seasonal in it's core. Halloween prints itself are which is why I don't mind people wearing those, but general gothic lolita is not.

When you specific dress gothic because it's Halloween, to me, that feels like gothic is your Halloween costume. And that feels kinda odd. Because if you like it, why only wear it in October if it are normal clothes? Why be so tight on not wearing it a day before or after? Why feel the need to mention you wear it "because Halloween" whenever you post something online?

I understand if you first dabble a bit in gothic, want to try the style out. But if you do it each year again and never wear it outside of Halloween it feels like you do consider it a costume you can only wear during a celebration people wear costumes on.

tfw I keep trying to answer my front door in a black and white rectangle headdress but throwing it off last second because I feel too awkward in it lmfao.

the past year i finally started to be able to afford lolita after liking it for years, but Ive had to really work on my confidence like crazy to be able to wear it outside. this damn headdress feels like an intense hurdle, I'm mad at myself. How tf will I be able to wear it outside if I cant wear it to answer the door..

I started getting into alt fashion communities (goth/metal scene) because I'm into that kind of music and fashion as well as Lolita but and fucking hell, not only is there tons more drama and cringe than any lolita comm, but nobody can dress themselves or comb their hair for shit. They all seem to idolize ItsBlackFriday and Adora BatBrat and think they look like them, but they look bad. I've never seen a level of open delusion like that before. Costume-tier wigs, makeup skills of a child, abrasive personalities, the kind of shit that would have someone laughed out of any EGL community. Not to mention how many blatant creepers people are friends with and enabling.

I feel so weird because I always got the impression that the Lolita community was really wacky in terms of drama and people getting the fashion wrong, but I feel like everything's been turned on its head for me.

I'm honestly so glad that the general Lolita community is so insular and at least a little better at not shining the spotlight on people like this. It's not perfect but it sure as shit ain't that bad.

I feel like I get what you mean and why you aren't looking for "just do it anyway"-types of advice.
As you get older, you get a bit more cynical without even noticing at first. It's nothing too extreme, but as the years go by you might find you aren't able to get as excited about weeby things or anything else as you used to be. Not because you've been spending too much time in that specific hobby or lifestyle, but because you don't have as much energy and a bigger frame of reference. This point reaches everyone at different ages, but this is something you can eventually spot in just about everyone.
Eventually most people just slowly conform to the way the rest of society lives their lives without even being bothered by it. A very small eccentric subset of people might still turn away from it, but there aren't many of those.

This is gonna be a blog post and I apologise but I've never really told this story and I need it off my chest.

When I was 13, I met a guy at a con. He was 19, and was in my town just for a few months to visit his sister. He told me he had no friends in the area and asked me to hang out. I, being a naive 13 year-old girl, believed that all he wanted was friendship. But obviously not.

Long story short, he assaulted me. Multiple times. But I didn't understand what was going on, even though I told him 'no', afterwards he would say 'oh I thought you wanted it but were just nervous'. Sometimes I would try to push him off me but he was bigger and stronger than me.
At the time I had very few friends and even though he was ignoring my wishes when it came to what I was willing to do sexually, I started to 'date' him. He lived in another country but would come to visit me every few months. I was lonely and my mother was mentally ill and very neglectful. Sometimes even abusive. The guy promised me that he would take me out of the situation of living with my mother and give me somewhere safe to live where I would be fed and have a stable housing situation (my mother couldn't hold onto a place for more than a couple months, and there would often not be any food in the house).

By the time I was 15 he was talking about marriage. I was starting to understand the idea that my body was my own at this stage and I was angry at him about the assaults, but every time I would argue with him he would love-bomb me afterwards and make me feel like I depended on him.

Soon he started to get controlling. I had to text him every two hours or he would have a freakout and claimed he thought I was dead. He tried to make me stop having male friends. My best friend at this time was male and he HATED him. Saw him as a threat. Told me I would have to stop being his friend sooner or later. (1/2)

>> No.10007676

>>10007669
Well my friend realised what was happening with the guy since whenever I would hang out with my friends, I would have to text/call him constantly. My friend stepped in and basically told me what was going on, made me understand that it wasn't okay what this guy was doing to me. But I didn't break up with him for a long time, not until I was 17. He had completely groomed me into thinking I was dependant on him. Even after I broke up with him, he wouldn't believe me, and came to my town (keep in mind, he lives IN A DIFFERENT COUNTRY) multiple times for 'confirmation' (I think actually just to stalk me).

My mother even invited him over for dinner months after I'd broken up with him and she told me I should go, that I 'owed' him for how 'nice' he'd been to me. He would also call my mother to ask for information about me. Even though I told her that he'd sexually assaulted me multiple times, she remained in touch with this guy and they were friends for like two years afterwards.
That's part of why I moved out of home at 19 even though I didn't really have the means to afford it.

I'm doing so much better now, I have a job and I'm going to college, but fuck. I still wake up screaming sometimes because I have nightmares that I'm getting raped. I'm paranoid whenever I'm in a crowded place that I'll run into him, that he's come to my country again to stalk me. I keep thinking random strangers are him and panicking. I blocked him on social media but I think some of my friends still have him added and interact with him... I don't know if I should tell them what he did or not. It's been years. I wish this didn't still bother me so much.

You'll have a child only to find there's little to zero support for that either unless you live in poverty. Otherwise, support for mothers exist because they rarely get to hang out with other people. Often, friends stop visiting once you have a child. However, with no pressure for people around you, are you certain that it's not possibly you who finds parenthood respectable? There's nothing wrong with having a child, and it's true 25-35 is generally the best age. You don't want to be 45 with a 10-year-old running around in most instances. That being said, people don't change just because they have a child. You can have a kid, and you can enjoy all your 'weeb shit'. Also, there's some cute Japanese brands for kids. I noticed American brands are starting to catch up.

I can't have children so I've lived my whole life with the acknowledgement that's not in my future. There's plenty of women who cannot give birth so why should we believe it's the 'most respectable' lifestyle? Every lifestyle has it's own measures of success; that's for you to determine and accomplish. My measure is school, the cleanliness and decor of my home, my pets, my hobbies and interests, and, obviously, paying the bills. If it is good, I have accomplished what I deem respectable for my age. What is your measures, and is it possibly different then mine since you can have a kid? I dunno' if any of that helps, but I tried.

Even talking to them was scary, and part of why I did it was to get over wanting to talk to them so I could stop stalking them while being too shy to talk.
Also they were going somewhere else so couldn't talk for long, would have to approach again if I wanted to talk more. And I never ask for people's contact info, maybe I could but that's not something I do and sounds super scary.
Also, they didn't really remember me so there's no reason they'd want contact.

Cosplays are unattainable because of body type, and not in a way that can be solved by eating less or working out. No matter what I do they'll never look good. Still working on one though.

Also really bad at staying in touch. I have like three people on facebook I keep pestering about uninteresting stuff and everyone else I talk to at most once or twice a year if I talk to them at all.
Maybe I'll try something at my next con though. I used to be braver but most of my personality has died over the years. I used to be shy when coming to a con, but eventually get over that wall and start talking to people. That has stopped now.

Thank you to both of you though.

On to a completely different thing, I hate how I don't recognize people. This time especially one was bad, I've seen them at some cons now and then and every time they have greeted me and we've had some nice, although really short, conversation, and one of my better con experiences in recent years was due to spending the day with them. It's really embarrassing. And while they keep forgiving me and keep being nice, I wonder how many other relationships I'be ruined with this.

I'm outgrowing my local comm. I live in a college town (I'm still in school too, but I had a later start so I'm in my early 20's) so most of us are college-age and all my friends seem to be interested in is gossip, drama, and shittalking. Cosplay as well, but mostly drama. I recently was targeted by a group within the community for stuff I did/did not do back in high school and my friends took my side, and for a while it was just "ugh this person is so shitty they did THIS" "ugh I know they did THIS to THEM too!" "fuck those cunts!" "yeah!", but that was 6 months ago, I've blocked the entire group on Facebook, and I want to move on. Now I'm still hearing shit about them, depending on which combination of friends I'm hanging out with I hear them taking shit about other people within the community that we are all supposedly friends with, I'm told to my face "Yeah I/x person/we HATE your boyfriend" because while he's hilarious and easygoing, he will tell people the truth and if someone asks for advice he won't sugarcoat it. ("What should I do about me failing this class?" "Take a break from cosplay. Stop posting to Instagram/Tik Tok and attend class" "YOU'RE SO MEEEEEAN!") All this, plus the fact that a lot of rumors were going around me make me pretty damn sure that all my "friends" are also talking shit about me when I'M not there as well. I'm not insanely older than these people, I'm almost 24 and my youngest friend in this group is 20, but I feel like I'm on a completely different level from these people.

I just wanna dress up as a fictional character and hang out with friends, why are we all tearing each other down?

>> No.10007854

I always have this intense fear that everyone in my comm secretly hates me. I don't know why - no one's done anything to make me feel this way, I've always been welcome at meets, we hang out in smaller groups outside of official comm stuff, and in general the community is really sweet... but I never feel like I'm doing enough. I end up telling myself that I talk too much, that I'm saying the wrong thing, that my coords aren't good enough, that I'm being annoying.

I guess it's not all bad because it pushes me to want to get more involved, host more meets, and try harder, but at the end of the day, I do all of that because I feel like I'm inherently unlikeable and because of that if I stopped being useful to everyone, they would stop hanging out with me. I feel like everyone only tolerates me now because they're being nice and since I'm in all the group chats and stuff, they're too polite to get rid of me.

I love lolita fashion and I love my community, but sometimes I'm think that they'd be better off without me.

How many lolitas do you think wear the fashion out of a sheer sense of social alienation? Occasionally I'll get (well-meaning in context) comments about how "brave" I am about being able to wear it without worrying about people judging me. While I've never actually said it in response, I've always thought that it's not about confidence. It's more the logic that since I already don't fit in with normies in a lot of different ways other than fashion, I might as well wear lolita since they're already gonna think badly of me / not accept me anyway.

I don't really know where I'm going with this, I guess I'm just wondering if it's the same for a lot of gulls too.

It sucks that you don't get that, I understand it can make it harder if it feels like you're doing something wrong. You didn't specify what kind of weeb stuff you're into exactly, but might joining some kind of community help, even if it's just a relevant Discord or something?

Ultimately though, the validation does have to come from yourself. You can't constantly rely on external validation. I know it maybe sounds flippant, but it really does boil down to you just realizing that your happiness is the most important thing, and that if weeb stuff keeps making you happy, you should keep doing it. Also, one thing that people often forget is that people probably aren't looking down on you nearly as much as you think they are. Most people are totally absorbed in their own lives and spend way more time thinking about themselves than judging you for your hobbies. Of course, it's easier said than done, but I do feel like at least trying to adopt that attitude helped me with the same fear. Good luck, anon.

Half the people I know my age are starting to bald. If I'm going to care less that they're balding, I don't think they're going to care about the occasional 'fine line'. It isn't even like I find young men attractive anymore. I'm only just shy of 27, and men in their early 20's look like babies to me now. It's weird.

You already did the hard stuff by getting yourself out of a bad situation, even if it meant doing it alone. If you think your friends interact with them you can bring it up privately and let them make their own decision. They may not believe you, but then it's easier for you to cut contact with bad friends than hold onto them. You seem really strong, but you still have healing to do. And you know exactly what you don't want in relationships with people close to you now. Don't get too upset about not magically healing in one day. It will take time, but it will get better.

Don't worry at all. I worked in cosmetics during college and applied make up from kid to adult age range, even some kids have eye bags and lines.

It seems that there is an influence suppressing my anger at 13:05 on October 10, 2018? 13: 06 Tranquilization ball? 13: 10 Magnum?
13:03, a strange feeling in the hole of the nose and the buttock hole occurred! The baby's voice came from behind the head!
13:03, is [Sei Gaidarari] a religious relationship with Kabbalah's magic relation?

At 12:47, 2018/10/9, is this? Is it no better with a baby-sounding voice? Mariko? Contamination (contaminated)?
12: 43, Did you induce thoughts that babies like to forgive me bad things or do not matter? Curtis Rumei? bomb?

11: 45 I noticed yesterday, but I heard that babies and others are giving bad influences by needles and stinging?

11: 09, the monkey magic song has flowed from above in the head from before. Residual arsenic? Cannonball?

I'm not in the goth scene myself, but from the few people I talked to and the things I've seen it's full of problems and posers and it makes me glad the metalscene still has it's underground part that holds true to it's values and doesn't mind being called elitist if being ourselves and not allowing any idiot to join if they don't fit in makes us elitist.

That's to prevent, you can't remove what's already there. Also, do you just use whatever the world tells will help you, or do you actually use what your skin can use to improve? Beside, most Western skincare products suck...

I guess it depends. For me I can wear it easily because I don't care about people staring or thinking I'm weird/bad. But even when I was young I didn't fit in and eventually learned not to care in general unless it would actually affect my life (like, I wouldn't wear it to a job interview). I guess maybe I hardened up already before I started wearing it, but I still hardened up towards that because of social alienation? I remember as a kid trying to be "normal" and failing, but I kinda gave up on that being 10 years old or so.

Never thought it trough too much. I wear the fashion because I like it. I guess anyone who wears the fashion get's eliminated to some degree. And I guess the fact they are into fashion shows they aren't entirely accourding to the norm anyways. So I guess the main answer would depend soley on if someone was already alienated before (making them stop caring or trying to make the best of it so they wear lolita more easy) or became alienated afterwards (in which case they might just be doing something they already wanted but didn't do or didn't even thing about because it's not the norm? And them hardening up and exploring different options than the norm could be from hardening themselves up for alienation?)

I think alienation and alternative fashion and cultures are already highly attached no matter what. I guess it matters more how you react to the alienation than if it's related to wearing lolita.

Muscle rests under the fat, so it's both. I eat nutritionally dense food like fish and greens when I eat, think of it like I skip dinner every night, essentially.

Yeah she was shitty in other ways too and my teachers and doctors reported her to child protection... unfortunately when the people interviewed me I clammed up and was unable to give any evidence against her so nothing was actually done about her.
I moved out as soon as I could though and I have limited contact, and only on my own terms. My sister (19) still lives with her so I can't cut my mother off entirely until she moves out. And yeah I realise how shitty it looks that I left my younger sister with my mother when I moved out but my sister is my mother's favourite and she's less abusive towards her. But my mother is weirdly emotionally dependant on my sister at the same time. As a result my sister doesn't understand that the things my mother does are abuse (put-downs, screaming at us at all hours of the night, withholding food and showers when we were younger as means of punishment, cutting us off entirely from the outside world as a means of control, etc.). So my sister defends my mother and is less willing to move out.

The last breath you ever take will be in.
With yellowed skin, your chest will raise in a final wheeze.
Then nothing.
The last breath you ever take will be in.
All the air will exit you in absolute silence as gravity compresses your diseased lungs.
Think about it next time you smoke.
The last breath you ever take will be in.

Sorry to fearmonger and use emotional scare tactics. But I was there in the hospital room and saw it happen to my grandpa. He died right before my eyes and weirdly enough we had all started crying even before his last breath. It's like we somehow felt it coming. His cancer got him in the liver, and that was it. To be fair he had a whole life of smoking. If you make the effort to quit now, oh you've heard it all before. Your spirit can conquer the desires of your body, and every failure just opens up for another try.

A machine will cost you about $60 so about the price of a carton of cigarettes. Spare atomizers which you need to replace one every few weeks are about $15 for a pack of 3. I recommend liquids that have Nicotine salts in them so about $20 for 30 ml. I was a heavy smoker and it costs far less for me to vape than to smoke and now I'm not hacking up a lung full of mucus through my brown teeth inhabited mouth which isn't cute. Ultimately you want to quit but if you can't vaping is the next best thing.

Sometimes I feel judged harshly just because I can't spend as much money on lolita as most people do. It isn't my fault I don't have money, and even if I did have them, I think everyone should decide how much money they want to spend on their hobbies. A coord can be cute and look good even if it uses some normie or DIY items, or if it's simple/toned down. Actually, it takes a lot more skills to create a cute coord with less options. So yeah, might not be your cup of tea but don't put others down just because they can't afford a closet as full as yours. Acknowledge their effort and if you want to offer advice do it kindly (as you should always do t.b.h...)

I slowly saw my mother go downhill after my parents divorced until I hoped she would just die so I could go on with my life. She smoked more and more after that divorce, until she would smoke 2-3 packs a day. All day she couldn't do anything but lying in bed, or sitting behind her pc playing bingo and buying shit she couldn't afford because she lacked the energy, big part because of all the tar in her lungs. Not to forget the obvious painful couching up of phlegm all day. She couldn't work because of her health either so we where poor. She couldn't even go to the store herself, and forced us to buy sigarettes as soon as we where old enough. As we lived in her house she made sure we had no choice. Because she spend all her money on cigarettes and useless stuff to forget her sorrow, I had to get debts to pay for food. My little sister was just a baby so I brought some food home which is the only reason my mom had food too, but I couldn't just let my little sister go hungry. My older sister completely broke because of what happened, as she's very emotional. I tried to raise her to the best of my ability next to school, and trying to work ever since my age allowed it. My childhood was ruined because she couldn't face her problems and till this day she refuses to acknowledge what she did. I hate my mom, not for running from her problems, but for ruining me and my sisters life with it. I only have contact with her because of my younger sister is still living there. All her friends and family aren't having contact with her anymore, because she would never be the one making contact and they where done with always having to go to her but she would never come to them.

If you don't want to end up like that I suggest you stop. I know I never even want to think about starting that gross shit.

Sometimes I wish lolita was less fancy France and Italian, and had some more room for historical Germanic inspired pieces. Both nobility and commoner ones.

And that when there is Germanic inspired stuff does come across, people wouldn't only react with either Dirndl, or refer to one popular movie like they created that kind of clothes. Most other inspirations sources get recognised right away, but medieval/renaissance Germanic rarely does as such.

I guess the place depends indeed. The underground scene is everywhere, all over the world, but it does seem more active here (Nordic and Germanic parts of Europe). We still have a few local record stores with own record labels, cafe's aimed at metalheads, and quite nice shows somewhat regularly. Sure, there are a lot of posers, but they don't go to the same places as the metalheads. If you don't know where to look you probably will end up with them as they are... well... not underground. As in, they seek attention more, where as underground doesn't really advertise much and doesn't seek attention so you need to walk in yourself to find it. But the underground scene is more active than ever here, and it's not that hard to find. Here it's like, go to the right concerts or cafe's and your bound to find people and trough there you meet more people. Most news is shared on social media and trough small record labels, or off course bands directly, as well as just simple mouth on mouth when you randomly meet another metalhead.

I don't care about the SS, but honestly I get annoyed just because many North European war uniforms looked similar to that but people all act like Nazi's where the only ones with that style of uniform and scream Nazi at any uniform inspired by such ones. Like, many of those North Europeans where also fighting against the Germans, but I guess they don't get enough visible (as in photo's, video's, etc. Stuff you can see their clothes on) attention for people to know what they actually looked like.

Honestly Wacken is not as good as it was. Wacken is getting too big. Last year line-up was filled with quite some commercial bands, and even some of them are pretty good, too much of such bands draws posers. I didn't heat too much good from Wacken last year. I think it's passed it's prime. I haven't checked this year yet, I prefer smaller events. Only bigger one I've been to so far is Eindhoven Metal Meet. Generally, smaller ones held in local poppodia and cafes are nice. Seen some big international bands for 10-20 euro. Talked with some of those people too. They just walk trough the crowed, sometimes drink a beer with the other people. Most of those concerts have no kind of barriers. I often enough just hung on the boxes on the edge of the stage. Great times.

I probably wouldn't be able to get the time off work so soon so it'd probably be stuff limited to next year. Looking at the likes of Eindhoven just makes me realize how much I've been slacking off with extreme metal these days.

Most of them are reocurring festivals. You could try to follow their main pages if you wanna stay up to date for next year. Lot of smaller events aren't known exactly a year in front. Also, many bands just post things like "playing in this cafe then and then". Always nice evenings!

I mainly listen to black myself, so I'm a bit biased in the events I follow haha. Anyways, I like Sabaton and Powerwolf every now and then too. I generally do workouts on them. The rest isn't that interesting to me at Wacken this year. Maybe Dark Funeral, but overal just not worth ticket prices to me. But I guess that's just taste after all. Seems there are a lot more bands of interest for you, so worth a try I'll say. Never blindly trust someones word online unless you know the person well after all. Go see it for yourself is never bad.

I've always been a power/thrashfag moreso than anything else. I was elitist as fuck as a teenager about anything too extreme/with harsh vocals but I'm glad I snapped out of that bullshit. Black metal has still never been something that's properly clicked with me, though. I mainly just want to head to Wacken for the overall experience and to meet some cool people. I'm 27 now and I want to do it before I'm in my 30s, hahaha. Cool that you're Dutch.

Black metal is something that you like or not. It's not for everyone and not made to be. And that's okay. Personally I really dig like these "80/"90 trash bands like old Metallica, Iron Maiden, Manowar, Dio, etc. That stuff that wouldn't be considered metal if released today, but they're classics. But hey, I'm also a big Bruce Springsteen fan.

Gotta, say, we black metal fans often get called out as elitist, but I don't think we are really. We're honest in our opinions if you ask, negative or not. But we're not unfair, and most people will give other stuff a change. We often make bad jokes about being elitist, but honestly, true elitist in any genre are horrible. They are just blind. Many genres, even the ones you often dislike, have great stuff here and there. It's never to late to try something new :).

Really, the only times you have trouble with the underground black metal fans is if you are gonna try to make them political correct. Black metal allows any opinion and cares more for sincerity, and there are extremes of each side possible there. Have some respect and be able to agree to disagree and it's fine. That being said, being an asshole is still not cool. Opinions don't give right to act upon them ;).

The Netherlands is great, come arround some day! Big cities are touristic tho. I grew up in smaller towns and cities, it's very different than the big cities. But the metalheads are the same everywhere haha.

This has been bothering me all thread. Listen, you can't sue someone for "slander" unless you have actually experienced material loss as a result. Read a lawbook sometime. The law is not "that person is a meanypants, mommy please punish them and gibs me a ton of money!"
If anon got fired as a result, she might, MIGHT, have a case, if she could prove it, and good luck, and if it would be worth the lawyer fees in the end, very good luck. Calling someone a pedo is not a criminal infraction, and if she has not experienced substantial material loss as a result, it has no footing in civil court.
