/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Please don't. As an actual black lolita these are the worst kind of threads.
1) They get flamed to death
2) I'm tired of getting "specul" status just for being black. I don't want a thread for my race because it just means "I want asspats for being black" which makes it infinetly harder to get appreciation for actually good work
3) If you genuinely want POC lolitas just go to tumblr and instagram

The only reason I actually tolerate fatty-chan ones is that it requires preplanning and adjustment. You don't have to adjust anything for being a person of color.

>>9477781
Fuck off with the whole *POC* thing, did you forget Asians aren't white either?

>>9477781
This

also this is probably an attempt at baiting gulls since it's been happening in other threads

>>9477781
Please post yourself. There aren't many black lolitas out there in the first place.

>>9477785
Where in the hell did I state that Asian's weren't POC? If you're going to get mad at something at least try and do a little reading comprehension. I was speaking as a black person speaking from a black lolita perspective.

Anyways sage because you reply is either bait or you just were itching to argue anyway. I'm not in the mood on it so have a good rest of your sunday.

>>9477776
Fuck off with these goddamn bait threads.

>>9477781

You realize that some colors go better with dark skin than for pale skin and vice versa? Same goes for metals you choose for your jewelry. Gold works much better with actual dark brown skin as both colors share the same quality, which is warmth.

>>9477798
Yes I realize that, but as you pointed out yourself its the same as pale skin, thus neither needs a special thread for themselves. Instead concerns like that can go to the coord help thread since it's not a special thing.

>>9477792
I'm not that dumb friendo.

>>9477781

what's the tag? I respect your perspective, but some ppl just wanna see themselves for inspiration and motivation aka positivity so

>>9477776

her skirt is too short but I love the hair and color combo

>>9477807

>>9477814

>>9477781
Some girls like seeing inspiration, it's not just about giving black lolitas "asspats" jfc

>>9477820
seconded

>>9477807
>>9477814
why always sweet tho?

Lighter skin tones look better in lolita

>>9477781
Yeah I actually feel you on that. Although I'd like to see how fellow african American girls dress in lolita for inspo, I think you right. Slightly OT but I think people glorify us to the point where it's creepy and unsettling.

>>9477826

The point of this thread is that we're all aware of this opinion. We all know, therefore some encouragement and seeing black prettiness is in order. Some people like to keep going and recharge their batteries. Seeing positive examples usually helps.

>>9477833
Where the heck did you see any glorification going on in this thread?

>>9477836
But why look for encouragement on a 4chan board of all places?

>>9477823
Probably because the contrast of the light colors on darker skin looks rly nice

I'm pasty af and I can't wear anything light or I look washed out and disgusting.

>>9477826
1/10 made me respond, dark skinned girls look just as good as light skinned girls as long as they keep in mind the colors that work with their skin tones, just like white girls. As I said above, I look terrible in pastels, so I don't wear them. It's a matter of complimenting your skin and hair colors with what you wear. I actually think that darker skinned girls probably have more versatility with the colors that they can get away with wearing anyway. All I can wear is jewel tones, black, and grey :/

>>9477823
There are a few black lolitas that wear gothic almost exclusively, >>9477833, for example, but I think a lot gravitate towards sweet because bright, highly saturated colours look really nice with dark skin. At least, they do in my opinion. It's so easy to look washed out if you have paler skin.

>>9477802
>>9477820
>>9477833
Since I do actually get the need for inspiration in spite of my objections above. Here are some tags to peruse
blacklolita on tumblr or instagram (you get better results on tumblr though)
poclolita on tumblr or instagram
altblackgirls on instagram (though this naturally is a mix of alt fashion)
and then finally:

>http://lolita-tips.tumblr.com/tagged/poc-lolitas

>>9477842
Disagree. I love white skin and white fabrics and jewelry to go with it because it looks fragile, doll-like and ethereal.

>>9477839
Because this thread was probs actually made as bait but attracted people who are genuinely interested.

>>9477842
ever heard of monochrome
betcha you didn't

>>9477858
Yeah, since all social justice threads are bait and no actual attempt to encourage the ones constantly thrown under a bus.

>>9477851
I mean, yeah, some white girls can do that. But I'm pasty white with yellow undertones so that shit doesn't work.

>>9477859
?? What does monochrome have to do at all with what I said

Wearing all one color doesn't change the fact that some people just straight up look bad in certain colors.

>>9477858
Define bait

Can we have some black shiro?

>>9477866
dumbass
the same color with skin and hair color included

>>9477776
>ghetto lolita
It's just the same as any other lolita, just with a gun on her purse.

>>9477820
They're just worried about all the shitposting and bait
Example: >>9477888

Which I don't blame them, /cgl/ is a slow board anyway so you're better off on tumblr and instagram where there's a hell of a lot more content/people posting plus sources.

>>9477798
Not all those with dark skin have warm tones.
Saying this as a black woman who looks better in silver/cool tones.

>>9477876
How many people can actually buy entire outfits that match their skin colors tho. And that would require buying a wig that also matched your skin color, and that would be weird as fuck? I mean, I've seen girls wear all ivory, or all browns, or whatever, but I don't think I've ever seen an entirely 100% matching color outfit that was anywhere near skin toned, because that shit is weird.

Also 'monochrome' would refer to ANY outfit where the person is wearing all one color in any varying shades, I don't really know why you thought that it would be obvious what you meant.

Only gripe about this thread is using that godforsaken term. I hate being a discount "PoC" to be added to minority campaigns when it's convenient and be 'white privileged' when it's not. Fuck off. Just say black and hispanic lolita thread or lolita thread for darker skin tones.

>>9477847
What is this print/brand called?

>>9478120
Moitie's Sleeping Garden.

>>9477920
Seconded, I loathe that term, it's kind of insulting really to lump so many cultures/ethnicities into one convenient monolith as well. It's super USA-centric too, ooooh yeah m8 let me tell you about my slav privilege.

The worst thing is that it seems to have infected any 'female centric' community. I honestly feel like anonymous boards are the only place where you can discuss clothes, makeup and shit like that without having to be subjected to wade through someone's deferential essay on cultural appropriation or people unironically checking their privilege. Please correct me if I'm wrong, would love to find a different platform for this stuff

>>9477781
I understand this point of view in modern day, but as an oldfag black lolita 10 years ago it was IMPOSSIBLE to find pictures of black lolitas. There were less in the fashion, a lot of us thought it was exclusively for white and asian girls.

>>9477807
Cute. CUTE.

honestly all races that aren't east asian are too masculine for lolita to look good on them

the exception being east asians who also have some sort of white mixed in

>>9478165
give it a rest already bait-chan

>>9478165

m8 i have an excellent memory it's not that i'm not over it i just remember everything ever

my husband hates it when we get into arguments because i am a fkn wikipedia page of bullshit hes pulled

>>9478204
Stop jfc. She's going to keep going if you keep going so shut the fuck up.

>>9477776
>when your identitarian movement isn't polarising enough because there are more than two races and so in order to make reality fit your narrative you collectivise all non-white individuals into the group "PoC" so that well-performing groups like Indians, West Caribbeans, East Asians and Jews are no longer able to be singled out as clear rebuttals of the white privilege and institutional white racism memes

>>9477776
I don't like the drown wig.

>>9477776
Black lolitas only date white boys, bunch of race traitors

This is a mess

This thread was ruined from the start.

>>9477863
Give me an example of an actual non sj thread.

>>9477776
Yeah, I don't care what anyone say, black lolitas can be really cute.

this thread would be greatly improved with more asian lolitas

Black lotitas are really cute ^^ keep posting please ! I am a mixed female and I love how the colors pop on brown skin. Anyone can be anything they want o: no need to get mad and shake one another.

>>9490504
You must be 18 to use this site.

>>9477776
Op I dont believe you were trolling. But cgl is racist. They will tell you ebonys dont need a thread. The reason is they want to see what we are doing and disrupt. Of course there are the brave white lolitas who say " get real" but those are shout down and trolled. So unless you go on a black social media site " if any are left" then I suggest giving up. I never post on lolita things. Just make a comm and have fun. Or force yourself in the black non-lolita community. If your african american its easy. People will laugh at you and then slowly join but in limit ways. Expect a lot of church clothes. Be the leader. Cant speak for the islanders so I made a point to say aa community.

>>9490577
...what?

>>9490585
Just more shit posting

>>9490585
Dont just post WHAT... like a retard. What are you having a problem with? Verbalize!

>>9477847
CUTE

nigresses just aren't cute stop this

>>9477785
Asians are just honorary whites desu

I'm a white girl and I find PoCs to be extremely beautiful, in lolita or otherwise. Don't let stupid 4chan racists get to you. Especially black girls doing goth can be so gorgeous and ethereal.

Holy shit that headpiece. It's fucking gorgeous. Link?

Bored, so

>>9477807
Cute, but remove the diamonds below the eyes.

>>9477812
Reluctant to call this lolita, but she looks good otherwise.

>>9477814

v. cute

>>9477815
Picture for ants. Can't decide if I like the wristcuffs, but at least the twintails don't look terrible like they do with most coords. So cute, I guess.

>>9477833
This is pretty bland and I don't like the way the blouse fits. Also the hat. She doesn't look horrible, but she doesn't look great.

>>9477846
Fishnets should be classier and shoes need more detail, I otherwise like it.

>>9477847
This is what that other gothic coord could have been but wasn't. Love it.

>>9487104
Classy. That headbow looks sad af. Are those sheer grey tights? I like her nails, but hate this picture.

>>9493569
This dress wouldn't look good on anyone, holy shit. What's with the shoes? Those laces look uncomfortable. She also looks like a reanimated cabbage patch in that pose.
>>9493571
I don't like this. I mean, there's nothing especially wrong with the coords, just... I don't think it suits either of them.

>>9493572
One on the right needs to lose her cardigan since her coord is otherwise too orante for it. One on the left should lose the shoes, stockings and tidy her face.

>>9493573
Cute. Is that a salopette though?

>>9493574
Take. The. Fucking. Diamantes. Off.

>>9493577
Cute coord, ugly wig.

>>9493579
Is it AP or milanoo? Nobody knows! Coord is otherwise good.

>>9493581
The fuck is going on here.

>>9493583
Brolita I assume, based on the cincher and jawline? Lose the wig, contour thy face.

>>9496251
Can't see the whole coord but shit she's pretty.

>>9496261
I am okay with this for OTT.

>>9496271
Picture for ants. This was taken a fair few years ago judging by the right. Cute.

>>9499329
There's casual and then there's basic, and this is basic.

>>9503447
Can't tell from the photo how good this coord is overall. Also the bunting in the background looks like a white g-string. j/s

>>9503470
voodoodolly custom, anon

>>9503447
Ew, why are you self posting you sissy.

>>9503482
Thank you, anon! I need to buy more shit like this.

FUNKY COLD MEDINA

I use to be a Lolita, but now I'm a "black Lolita". People keep re-posting my stuff, adding tags like POC or black Lolita or Diversity or whatever shit. Why cant I just have it tagged Lolita? Or EGL? Why do I need to be set aside and put in a different box?

>>9509198

Because tumblr's search function is shit and tagging makes it easier for people to find relevant content?

>>9509198
I think it's just for inspirations purposes. It can be difficult for dark/tan skinned beginners to find relevant pics so Lolitas of Color tag themselves with "black_lolita" to help. No need to be a crybaby about that.

>dressing in lolita with anything other than porcelain skin

it just does not work that way

>>9509333
Lolita isn't a dolly fashion, anon.

>>9505068
This.

>>9477781
no one gives a shit.
"oh no someone mentioned my race, gotta freak out"
I'm gonna go watch black porn and use the fact I have a hard time telling black people apart to pretend I'm jacking it to you even though I don't know how you look.

>>9509198
Because tagging things with yaydiversity helps crackers feel like they're progressive and atoning for their original sin guilt of being born white. It lets you be condescending while still claiming the moral high ground of the right side of history.

>>9509964
>>>9509198
>Because tagging things with yaydiversity helps crackers feel like they're progressive and atoning for their original sin guilt of being born white. It lets you be condescending while still claiming the moral high ground of the right side of history.

or it's because different races are, idk, fucking different and some people like the aesthetic appearance people of certain races have, or in my case because I'm a dude, I'd totally bone a black chick or especially Japanese/Chinese/Korean chicks because for some reason they seem hot to me.

white people haven't committed any sins. whites faced slavery more brutal than blacks but you don't see us whining about it for literally hundreds of years.

I love the fact I'm of German descent (pure white). keep acting like you understand anything at all.

Sorry to ruin your hopes he is a sissy just like most brolitas.

>>9509198
So that those of us who like seeing other black girls in this fashion don't have to scroll through an ocean of pale skin to find maybe 4 girls who look like us.
It's just more organized and neat. It's nothing underhanded or personal.
