Of note, these bits stood out to me in the WW interview.

>I was always broke due to overspending, and we had some other issues that were affecting our mental health. We managed to scrape together enough money, which wasn’t actually that much, for a trip that felt really decadent and left us both feeling renewed. We loved it so much, we kept coming back. I always joke and say that since I’m allergic to pollen, I just come to Las Vegas to be able to breathe through my nose again – my allergies disappear out there.

This is what I find most irritating. They selected the most sjw types they could find then said that it’s representative of the community. They literally actively brought politics into this event. And I say this as a pretty staunch liberal and one of their precious uwu minorities.

The nation of Japan remains pretty facist. And sexist. And notoriously anti-black. Cancel all J fashion and the glorification of the Japanese imperial state, which to this day practices genocide and colonializm on the indigenous ainu and ryukyu communities. J fashion is offensive and helps white wash the atrocities of Japan through the international "cool japan" initiative that seeks to build Japans reputation through cultural exports, all the while they still refuse to acknowledge comfort women, korean and chinese genocide, and the acts of genocide committed against inidgenous communities in their claimed territory.

it prolly will be a normal convention unless you like bringing up political discussion, cgl, or online or irl comm drama at tea parties and swap meets or whatever and people will probably look at you weird for bringing that stuff up whether its one side of the spectrum or the other cause the latter two are newfag behavior and the former is just strange for a lolita event

>> No.10683682

>>10683679
I guess I have my doubts because normally conventions don't bring up politics on literally every single one of their blog posts and advertising materials. In fact most conventions avoid bringing up anything political like the plague and only occassionally have vageuly political panels (black cosplay etc.). Have you looked at the panel list? Those convos don't stop in the panel room, they bleed out into the con, especially since this is likely quite small.

>> No.10683691

>>10683682
nayrt but paradiso only had like...1 panel (triple fortune interview q&a iirc), i didn't attend it, con was still great. i'm there to see my lolita buddies who live far away from me, and to also meet with ones i've only talked to online! so excited. the sjw stuff on their website is pure virtue signaling, nobody really actually cares. in person, people are going to take pictures with each other in front of fountains and talk about lolita, not bring up politics.

no one is going to get robbed at the swap meet, women don't really do that shit and aren't 14 year olds at giant anime cons with no money. just like paradiso, the attendees will be out of towners flying in, and/or working women. paying for a pass + hotel + having at least 3 full different coordinates for each day kind of automatically keeps the riffraff out.

prediction: the unfortunate lolitas with no friends will go to the shit panels and see other lolitas on socials getting milkshakes at sugar factory without them and probably get angry and call the convention a failure desu. which in a way they are right. i wouldn't recommend this for lonelitas, this is just an excuse for a vacation with girl friends.

I'm sure it will be normal, but I'm not supporting groups that are like this. I'm pretty liberal myself but I'm tired of SJWs trying to do things for "my sake". This over protection of minorities in places where it doesn't matter is annoying. If you want to make an actual change, do it in an actual political setting. Go after people that actually does harm and help those in need. Lolita isn't the place for that bullshit unless someone is actually being racist or a general asshole to anyone, white or black.

They absolutely can, but these performative SJW types try to call themselves activists, play keyboard warrior over the smallest things and take selfies at protests. If you are truly calling yourself an activist and label yourself as a no tolerance ally that will punch a nazi or whatever, you accept the risks involved of being political and standing up for those things. This shit is not easy. When you go to a protest or get into the nitty gritty, you better accept you might get punched, yelled at or arrested for it and be prepared for it. So they ought to be sensible about what they say and do or actually let their actions speak louder than their words.

idk senpai i live in the south where regardless of the reason you usually avoid boisterous people bc u don't want shit to start. no joke people start gunfights in bars or dumbass settings all the time old or not. if they're aggressive enough to chew someone out for existing while nonwhite best move is to get away from them asap cause who knows what theyll do

i get what people mean as far as not being all bark and no bite especially since they tear people apart online. thats not cool and i dont agree with it but fr as someone whos dealt with it your best option when confronted or accosted by racist strangers is to get away or worst case only defend yourself physically if need be like if they're violent or whatever. de-escalation is key especially with permitless open carry in places like tx and shit but just in general in life to avoid serious injury from crazies.

These white people have no fucking clue, and are completely unable to recognize that yes, even among *gasp* brown people, there are political differences. It's not internalized racism, it's the fact that brown people are allowed to have different thoughts and perspectives just like white people.

Lor didn't betray Tyler, she asked Tyler not to make a video about her specifically because she dealth with it her own way (even though she shouldn't have for something as stupid as people being upset over an accidental like was to begin with) and Tyler did it anyway. The friendship ending was likely far more to do with disrespecting boundaries cause I am pretty sure after that they're not privately friends anymore either. Lor did nothing wrong but Tyler did choose to ignore her friend's wishes and drag up old drama that she was involved in and wanted to move past. That'd be enough for me to drip a friend.

I think Tyler fucked up with her video by being too much of a pussy to call out WF personally. Lor is an adult and can stand up for herself. She said to drop it and Tyler picked it up, dusted it off, and plastered it on her own channel for money and views, not cause she cares about her "friend". Tyler fucked with Lor's money cause she wanted to make her own on the stale drama like she always does. And she has so little respect for her friend she treats her like a baby unable to think logically or make choices for herself. That's really demeaning and shitty.

No one cared about the like drama and Lor was dealing with her sick grandpa and stressed to out, everyone had forgotten it and it would have ended there. She could have privately discussed it as well considering Lor's other friends did the same, one of whom Tyler portrayed as a bully when actually she and Lor had talked privately like normal friends.

While she did start a "twitter war" it was more like gnat buzzing around your head until Lor decided to legitimize it by making a whole statement/video. This is a classic case of don;t feed the trolls, and Wf is honestly just an attention seeking troll. Hence why she always blames anti-blackness for why people don't like and follow for her ita-ass coords.

The problem is, Lor legitimized SJW nonsense in the lolita community and emboldened people to behave the way these event organizers have.

>people thinking wording to exclude someone from showing up in MAGA attire includes all meta and wa
Who the fuck would show up to a lolita convention in a MAGA hat? That would not only be ita as fuck but make no sense. Besides, you can't stop people at the hotel for doing such things, what are you going to do, kick em out of the building even though they paid to be there?

Though that last one is especially strange. What does it mean by "amusement for a white audience"?

She literally said in her ww interview that one of the biggest things they’ve done for inclusion was getting rid of a person who “directly harmed the black community”.

desu the worst part of tyler's vid was what lor herself noted in the comments: she undermined lor's agency and decisions, projected to her audience that kindness is weak, and was biased (even if reasonably so) in her discussion of the way parasocial interactions and the lolita community at large are fueled by a lot of entitlement and negativity. and if she'd discussed the latter thing in more depth rather than put so much into it being about lor when it's clear that there's way more than that, it would have felt more genuine and been more helpful.

she also kind of portrayed things in a way that felt a bit like blaming black lolitas for blowing things out of proportion when most of us agreed that lors apology was unnecessary and either said nothing or expressed concern with why people were so upset in the first place. since that incident i have truly seen an increase in legit 'anti-black lolita' behavior, sentiment, and conversation on cgl, which i know is mostly because the few bad ones like wf make everything about race and it pushes people a certain way but i feel like if tyler had let it die things wouldn't have gotten even bigger or upset people since no one nonwhite and relevant but wf and avina were truly mad.

banning tyler is dumb. i don't find her worth watching or any more valuable than other guests but she was the most popular one on the list and it is at best tryhard of the event organizers to waste so much time on race issues, and at worst just going to foster more sentiment of negativity in the community related to race. like some people might think 'blacks got tyler banned/whites pandering to blacks got tyler banned' and be unreceptive to lolitas who are black or just left leaning in general the same way this whole thread is a lot of rehashing of the fear of the big bad leftist boogeyman because of people making up unnecessary rules to cater to a group of offended poc lolitas that just doesn't exist.

This was my biggest problem with the tone of the whole event. I’m so sick and tired of white girls doing this kind of shit to try and cope with their white guilt at the expense of minority lolitas who are always catching the impact of this kind of thing but not actually getting any of the benefits. We’re the ones always accused of making everything about race and dealing with awkward social push back over it, yet not a single black Lolita was involved in the leadership of this event. It’s especially annoying because even though we’re constantly seen as sensitive snowflake, we really just wish people would stfu and sit down for tea and cookies.

It’s also super inappropriate for this rando white girl to decide and publicize that Tyler harmed the black community. You don’t get to decide for minority communities what does or doesn’t harm them.

Lolita conventions are for entertainment/hobby stuff not lolita fashion as some historical or sociological thing. It's enjoyment, not so much education like a work conference or something so it makes sense to choose people on the entertainment side of lolita who will draw an audience over people who are mostly unknown and outside of choosing to incorporate it into their thesis or whatever are no different than anyone else wearing the fashion. Anyone with a degree could give a lecture or write a paper on lolita through the lens of their chosen career but that feels more like content for newbs and outsiders than 'fixing coords' or 'roast and toast' or whatever games Lor and Tyler used to play during their panels at cons. Also anyone doing research is also just using the internet and libraries like anyone else is, how does that make them more of an expert or worthy of hosting a panel than Tyler who has decently researched vids on lolita and feminism, other than their paper was written for an academic setting for people who don't really know about lolita?

No one is saying it has to be one or the other, anon. It can be both, but Lor sucks at either. A lot of us are interested in knowing more about the history or the fashion and the people influential to it. I’d much rather attend a panel about those things, than just sit around and listen to Lor talk about being a gay clown or whatever. She isn’t even funny like Tyler, and she’s certainly not well dressed. The only people she’s educational or interesting to are normies. And panels about history don’t have to be boring and dull, especially if you involve the designers who helped to make that history.

>> No.10686536

I agree there are better guests than Lor, and the example of the So Pretty/Very Rotten authors is an example of a good option, but Tyler is also poorly dressed and not particularly funny. I wish people were picked based on what they have to offer besides popularity with normies on YT too, but the whole "I'm interested in people who wrote papers" comes off as pretentious considering there are other icons and people contributing to the fashion like designers which you mentioned or also models who haven't written papers despite being a big part of the fashion and being great choices for guests.

They're usually scrotes or teenage poorfags so it's not a big deal.

based on the people who said stuff on twitter and the self admitted non lolita followers of lor VS the people who publicly wear or post themselves in lolita on socials it seems like it was a twitter hype cancel train more than actual lolitas. other jfashion wearers also jumped in too but many of them are not lolitas and often more into woke stuff imo. not many involved were actual lolitas, much less ones going to meets or paying to go to a lolita con

That really figures. Well, they have no bearing on our community and somehow that gets Tyler banned from events. So that's ironic. I really want to get away from these outsiders being able to police our community and I think ban lists for *actual* lolitas are probably going the wrong direction because twitter hype train will ban literally anyone and everyone without bearing or reason. I'd rather prevent them from being involved in the lolita community's judgement after harassing other people who wear the fashion.

If there's any non lolita jfashion then Kuroshiro Kawaii has a lot of ACDC Rag and Sexpot Revenge as well. But for lolita I think it's just indie, RPA, and Meta.

Meta has been doing really well with releasing cute desirable prints and if anyone volunteering to model is larger they'll likely have the bigger sizing available to model and people can finally see what the plus sizes look like on someone well styled and actually fat or tall rather than just putting the big size on the normal size model. Obviously not everyone cares about that but I am curious since I've not yet seen anyone wearing the newer Meta plus or plus-plus sizes.

The rules aren’t really clear. Is it that specific piece from any brand? Or do they mean any brand that profits off of nazi imagery etc.

Also wtf do they mean by nationality. A piece from any nationality that uses nazi imagery? Wtf does that even mean? Even putting on my sjw thinking cap I can’t figure it out. Do they mean people wearing period costumes from nazi Germany or the confederacy or something?

The rules are clear, though. A coordinate or a piece [from anything]. So it's specific coordinates and pieces that would be banned. Nothing in there suggests any brand's entire catalogue is banned.

>> No.10687824

>>10687818
If that were the case, then the "from any brand or nationality" would be unnecessary. It would just say "a coordinate or piece that uses nazi, fascist, or blablabla".

For example, the nation of Japan "uses fascist symbols, defined broadly". So now "a coordinate from [Japan]" is banned? Someone retarded wrote this.

I think what people are confused on is:

If they were referring to specific pieces why not either mention them specifically (there's only a few) or say:

Any coordinate or piece that features offensive blah blah. Adding the "from any brand or nationality" is weird and adds a layer of confusion when it could have been much simpler and clearer, unless what they meant is that they don't want to support brands who have profitted from problematic imagery at the event.

This is important when it comes to public messaging. You have to be thorough and definite, otherwise you'll get ripped into (NORMALLY) and not just by the lolita community. When you're writing for the public, you need to be very careful with wording. The way they wrote it, from my interpretation is for them to be able to ban people, cancel them, and kick people out based on "loose wording." But, that's because I'm used to people doing this shit for power-related reasons. It being a woke cancel culture SJW event makes me suspect it even more.

It's to be expected for a first year con to have major staffing issues for even paid/perks gigs, let alone unpaid volunteer positions.

Checked through the brands though and it's def not helping:
-Fluffy Tori: Hideous
-ghostgirlgoods: Not hideous, but not lolita and *barely* J fashion. The only original brand stuff they have are pretty generic T shirts. Not sure how this will work unless they're also modeling the 6%dokidoki that they sell.
-KittyKaya: regretsy tier. Doesn't actually sell any clothing.
-Kuroshiro Kawaii: Doesn't actually have anything in their shop brand, so I assume they'll have people model Meta? That makes them the only "brand" worth considering, and they haven't actually designed anything. Fun Fact: you can get their $65 pettis on eBay for literally $10.
-Puvithel: Has a bad rep, and some of the ugliest items on this list.
-Black Ribbon: has some questionable fabric choices and construction, but is probably the only actual lolita fashion designer on this list.

All in all; they've got 6 "brands" on the list and a third of them don't even produce clothing. Of those that do, 2 are notoriously hideous, and one only makes t shirts.
