... I'm thinking you're probably the very person they're "arguing with". They're literally just stating a fact, even including a smiley face to make it friendly, and the OP is responding with links to low-tier dresses as if they should adjust their prices based on what the cheapest thing out there is, and not the quality/demand of their own product. They're not arguing at all, OP is being tacky as fuck. And if you're not OP then shame on you for siding with suck a trashy bitter poorfag. You and your kind really need to gtfo our fashion.

I legitimately feel so sorry for the Haenuli creator and her work. She's stated multiple times not to steal her artwork but random people and tumblr scum just don't listen. She nearly didn't make her artbook over it.

It's times like these where I really love our community. Even the worst of us get chastised for art theft or replicas and often turn around or get chased away. People like her art thieves and the person in the pic have no concept of respecting anything.

I mean, getting into the finer details of why Baby in particular can suck a fat one most of the time is probably not appropriate for that particular discussion. Also afaik they've never threatened to sue? They're just ban-happy even (especially?) when they made the mistake in the first place.

Yeah, the teal deer is that this girl got a shit-tier pair of shoes that essentially disintegrated upon a brief first wear and when she contacted the company, they told her it was because she must have huge feet and then threatened to sue her when she posted the email exchange on EGL. This was 2011 and I've heard very few quality related stories since then, but there's countless stories about their sub par customer service. They ban people for their own mistakes all the time. I'm and avid BtSSB/AatP fan, but I get all my shit from them secondhand other than new releases I absolutely have to have so that I don't have to deal with them after a few run-ins (not banned, just got too many totally illegitimate warnings).

Some people are commenting that it's because Wunderwelt set up advertising to appear to normies, but these seem like the types of people to bitch about clothing prices no matter what.
We have them in normie fashion retail too, they can get real nasty when you tell them that they can't have their way. Customers have been so coddled that they don't know the difference between fair and unreasonable prices, just that both are too high and they deserve the best for cheap*, free in fact.

IMO when people start crying about cultural appropriation it's better to bring up how brands sell internationally, designers travel overseas to visit and sell at American an European conventions and brands have even opened stores in Paris, New York etc. Because how are we stealing their subculture when its creators are flying around the world to sell it to us? Clearly they're fine with crusty whities wearing lolita.

I'm mostly saying this because I've had SJW's on my feed who freaked out at the Victorian/rococo mentions, because supposedly those aesthetics were forced onto these poor 21st century Japanese PoCs and them wearing lolita is a uniquely Japanese/Chinese/Korean/kawaii azn expression of anti-imperialist rebellion or some shit. One girl got called a white supremacist for posting a picture of Marie Antoinette to compare to a lolita picture from the original post. Better to avoid any mention of European culture so they don't get #triggered, and instead call attention to the fact that Japanese lolita creators clearly don't seem to think we're appropriating shitlords.

Not to mention the person commenting is trans and a Singaporean immigrant. People couldn't wrap their heads around it and tried to call troll. I guess they're been so deep into the tumblr echo chamber that they don't know a lot of trans women and legal immigrant in real life supported Trump for whatever reasoning.

More on topic, why would anyone think protesting in Lolita is a good idea? People will notice you if you start yelling regardless of what you wear, but in Lolita people will be wondering what the hell you're wearing instead of focusing to what you have to say.

Japanese culture is very different from American culture, so a fashion that developed in defiance of Japanese culture does lose a significant part of its message when viewed in an American context. Lolita developed in a culture where women were (often still are) expected to drop all self-indulgent hobbies once they get married and become housewives, generally in their early to mid twenties. Additionally, sticking out in any way is considered a huge faux pas. For many young Japanese women in the late 90s and early 00s, lolita was a way to buck those expectations and basically go "I can spend time and money on myself if I want to and look cute as fuck in the process, in a way that is not necessarily attractive to men because I'm doing this for me and not to find a husband".
While it's true that many young Western women might identify with this as well, you have to admit that the majority of us don't face the same kind of societal pressures that young Japanese women did or do. Unless you live in an intensely conservative area, which probably don't have the kind of rallies that anons were talking about.

>expected to drop all self-indulgent hobbies once they get married
That's pretty much the same here in America, at least when the married couple decides to have children. Maybe liberal women aren't as traditional, but no joke in the thread last week about those lolita moms bitching about not being able to participate in old hobbies bc of their kids, lots of people said "children come first after you have them." Because, generally speaking, that's what people expect. People expect housewives to drop hobbies and prioritize the happiness and needs of their husbands and children first. And to also keep house and cook.
On the other hand, married men with children won't be expected to sacrifice their hobbies as much because it's assumed they have a wife taking care of the responsibility.

I'd argue it's worse for Western women because on top of domestic responsibilities, and expectations for marriage and children, they're also expected to have went to college and work a well-paid 40hr/week job. Or else they're leeches and welfare queens. Or "spoiled housewives."
American women are seen as frivolous, irresponsible, or shallow if they spend any amount of time or money on fashions that make them feel good about their image.

And the criticisms of the marches I've seen are the embodiment of what happens when western women start to think about their needs and rights:
>"oh, what are those women doing protesting all day when they should surely be employed or have kids to take care of during the day?"
This attitude that women are shamed for not constantly putting others before them is alive and well.

You're right, it's different, but both come to the same conclusions.

I don't know whether the person who got the tattoo or the tattoo artist are crediting Haenuli for the artwork itself so I can't comment on that, though it'd obviously be really shitty of them if they didn't.

What are you even on about? Trump created huge distance between himself and traditional neo-con republican establishment politics. His win came from a sway in minority voters from democrats to republicans, because the 2016 democrat election platform was "if you don't like progressivism and mass immigration then you are a bigot"

You are doing exactly what you claim that republicans are doing - never considering the [other party's] viewpoint. you know why the left is losing? because they've learned from the neither election nor brexit and still tend to push the idea that you can only be a republican if you are malicious, evil and dumb.
you will lose in 2020 too unless you get off your fucking pedestal and understand that almost every political ideology is founded on the idea that it is the one that is most moral.

Trump got greater support from minorities than Romney or McCain before him.

Not even the anon you're referring to. But I see it this way. PoC (in this case black) are making an meet for only them excluding others. Now it's not bad to do that but you have to understand how it will cause a problem. You don't see white lolitas making a meetup for people of white passing do you? No. Why? Because they are inclusive of their community. If they want their friends to have a smaller meet then they make a private meet with their friends usually in a private chat like environment. Not a page dedicate to white only lolitas. It's racist bu definition to do that because it's holding one race better then the other in terms of who can and can't show up to a meet up.

and even if they do, there's always loopholes. I'm from a country that on paper is pretty employee friendly, but there still are companies that just don't pay minimum wage. As in, they make a contract that states you get minimum wage, but they don't actually pay you or they make a contract for less hours than you actually work. Of course you can sue, but that means you'll be fired and going to court might cost you more money than you'll get out of it.
Also, internships up to a certain time span don't need to be paid with minimum wage and apprentices don't need to be paid minimum wage either. I know people in vocational training who get around as much as a student working part time is allowed to earn tax free here.

even if it was a meet for only poc, think of it as a small support group. if you are not a member of that group you probably could go, you just may not have the personal experience to empathize with the discussion topics.

people are always getting so butthurt and thinking these things are more insidious than they ever are. all the people crying racism and segregation sound like they were spoiled rotten and never told no in their lives. I don't assume everything is for me, or that I belong in every space. that would be ridiculous and entitled as fuck.

I'd assume it's nice to be around people, once in a blue moon, that you don't have to explain your issues to before you can talk about them.

I always love how lolitas proudly defend no-men-allowed rules for **entire comms**, but shit on small, private meets for certain kinds of people to get together and relax.

Why would you "dedicate" an entire meetup to a certain race of people, though? If you want to privately hang out with other black lolitas that's fine, but why have a meetup for the entire group and then "dedicate" it to a certain racial subset of that group? It would actually be less weird to have a private meetup for BHM and only invite black/PoC lolitas (LoC?) you're friendly with.

But anon, if it's a private meetup how will everyone know how Progressive they are?

Jenna latches on to any e-famous girl she possibly can, but they all just tolerate her. Kate included.
