It would be nice to talk about stoner meet ups and lolitas that are also stoners without the usual comments coming up.

I feel like there is actually a decent sized community of lolitas that are stoners and that the cultures cross paths a lot more than one would think.

It's not only legal in some places now but it's becoming more and more acceptable.

But no. Some asshat has to spout memes, claim degeneracy, and perpetuate some kind of ideology that people coming to 4chan should change their ways and be moral upright citizens who are straight edge.

Yeah we do.

My two cents: no more plus sized threads until everyone agrees on what that means. The whole "plus-size-for-lolita" versus Western plus size has people confused and angry, and then there's the problem of infiltration from /fit/, shitting up the thread with their whole fat=death thing. Plus the occasional ana-chan who really doesn't know what fat looks like posting normal-sized people on the thread. It's an unnecessary minefield--we have the ita thread to showcase the bad-looking fatties, and decent-looking fatties pop up on CoF every once in a while.

If you need inspo that much for fat lolitas (or you're a fetishist), just follow #plussizelolita on Insta.

And mods, please sage all attempts at plus size threads (like you wisely did 2 threads ago).

I don't get this. Why not have stoner friends, and then lolita friends seperate. Why can't you enjoy the hobbies on their own? I always see people saying stuff like "want more bdsm lolita friends :(" or "want more bodybuilder lolita friends". Why though? I love my video game friends as much as my lolita friends and I have enough personality to sustain conversations with both groups that are unrelated to the hobby but also about their hobbies too.

Lol yeah. No link at all between cosplay, lolita and BPD/bipolar girls. None whatsoever. Not like Lolita is full of ddlg fetishists.

I have never, ever met a demographic of people as so prone to sleeping around, having loose sexual morals and so on as cosplayers. Or hell even weeaboo girls in general.

Feels threads should not exist, it's just a kiddie positivity hugbox full of people who don't even cosplay or wear lolita.

Self-posts should be strongly avoided like in the past. cgl is becoming more and more like a place where friends from all your petty comms meet up to talk bad about each other while trying not to be discovered.

Everyone should fucking stop talking about costhots and patreon, everybody is doing it and most threads are a cover up for people hoping to find the magical key to getting patreon money.

And finally, idiots who make their own threads for things there are already threads for should be anihilated. Ignore them, sage them, anything. Don't send them to the goddamn help thread. We're not here to feed the birds.

And finally, people in the goddamn help thread should know what they are talking about. I'm tired of going there and only finding terrible advice. It seems like nobody knows how to make a cosplay anymore.

weight, recreational drugs/alcohol and sexual preference have absolutely nothing to do with /cgl/ therefore should not be discussed on /cgl/

I think its easier to just blanket ban the dramatic shit but thats why sites like lolcow exist now. The real problem is that most of the board users are rigid and salty and wholly not prepared to hear opposing points of view or discuss them. (looking at both pro and anti stoner chans, among so many others) The biggest board criticism I can make is that all the users aren't "making this board what you want it to be".

DESU, probably social media. I'm not going to say more intelligent discussion happens there, because we sure as hell know it doesn't.

So many tryhard newbs, and nobody bothers to really correct them. It feels like blind leading the blind at this point.

What can change? I don't even know. We're also exiting summer, but the last few years have felt like perma-summer. It's an anon board and people are just going to continue to use it to spew shitty opinions.

This is coming from more and more of the internet being less anonymous and everything tied to you personally. An anon board wasn't a deal in 2006 because you could be anon just about anywhere.

Idk if cgl is really the right place to talk about it, but it does seem like there are a decent amount of lolitas who partake. I think part of the draw of discussing it on 4chan is the anonymity aspect- it's becoming more widely accepted as legalization spreads, but it's still not the sort of thing I'd want to advertise about myself irl at this point in time.

I’m a stoner and I wear lolita but I keep them separate ”hobbies”. My best smoking buddies are lolitas but we rarely wear lolita when we meet

Real life story: I was high as fuck and graving something to munch. I put on first clothes I can find and rush to the nearest 24/7 grocery store. Looking like a mess.
And there’s a lolita from my comm. All dolled up and cute. Me as a druggie hobo.
It was kind of funny coincidence but shit I felt dirty

People don't think of the negatives after spending so long defending the shit out of it (and I was the same until recently).

It just occurred to me as I was contemplating the state of the CoF thread, that I would love to dump, but I fucking hate captcha and I have better things to spend my $20 than post pics in a dying slovakian fishing board.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, even if I know nobody will take it seriously.

Nothing on this board will get better until we fix the mother fucking sticky. At least linking the lolita guidebook would help tremendously. That way we spend less time spoonfeeding and anyone who is lurking to learn has a half decent chance of knowing the basics. None of you can deny that anybody interested in cosplay or lolita would flounder miserably trying to learn without some kind of direction. Why would they want to come back if at the first instance of them asking a question they get hit with a barrage of insults about them being a newfag and how annoying summer is. Granted I get pissed when people ask stupid questions, but as I said ages ago none of that will get better unless they have a resource to reference before asking questions.

No, I probably should have been more specific with the reply. Just because the name of the fashion has elegant in it doesnt mean the fashion is about having an elegant personality. Sure, it's in the name but it doesn't mean that you have to change your personality to fit it. That's something only weebs and roleplayers think about lolita.

I've been coming here and lurking for 3 ish years. This is my first post, and its just to mirror this. If you go to other boards you'll see the threads are full of ignored bait, but come to cgl and even the weakest, most bland and obvious bait immediately gets jumped on and derails the thread. Just look at this thread, do you even need more proof?

People struggle to have discussions because they are too busy blogposting and falling for 2iq bait posts. Feels threads are also one of the worst things to happen to this board.

If you're too fucking poor to own lolita fashion but have an interest in it then at least have the decency to shut up and lurk and not shit up the place.

Unless it has taken over your life and ruined it, then it doesn't really matter if it's an addiction.

I wear lolita and smoke to go do things that are fun - not necessarily to sit on my ass. It really sucks that people assume if you smoke weed you must be a lazy bum.

Like maybe if you just smoke indica all the time like a wastoid but I prefer sativas which can even help curb your appetite.

I've never gotten anything on my brand regardless of what I was using.

Also - it sounds like you're just using CBD for medical purposes so I'm not sure why you need to do that in your brand unless you're trying to be less anxious at meets or something.

If you have those edible dabber things you can just put that stuff on regular food and eat it that way if you're worried about it getting everywhere. I know it's super sticky but just pretend like it's syrup and use napkins/qtips or something.

There are some real stuck up people on this board. So many snobs pearl clutching over this or that. Especially the lolitas.

I've been here since around 2008, and it's much less cosplay focused than it used to be. I don't think that's lolitas fault, though. Most of them used LJ at the time. We had cosplay.com and other forums, and it was easier to share image dumps and bitch about certain people here.

I do miss the power hour threads. And I miss how much more of a community we had. I know everyone hates tripfags site-wide, but we had a lot of helpful and interesting ones. I only remember a few, like Masa. But I remember that they were active in the WIP threads and help threads.

I don't think they can technically delete feels threads. They're not against the rules. If gulls take it up with mods then they can get them banned. If that happens then jans can delete them. It would be for the better though. Feels threads aren't relevant to the board.

This is really funny because I was around to watch mods repeatedly delete feels threads and explaining that they weren't jfash or cosplay related and would do much better on another board.

It's the gulls who repeatedly created feels threads until the mods let them stay.
