All right kiwifags, it's time for 'Geddon thread number three.

I've got a quick question. This will be my first time in Auckland and I'd like to spend some time exploring as well as at Armageddon. I'm there from Thursday evening to really early Monday morning, and was wondering which day or two days of Armageddon would be the best to go to? I'm a lolita, not a cosplayer, if that helps at all.

>> No.6321237

>>6321201
I think girls should aim to look however they want, not saying plastic surgery should become more common but if they want to, idgaf. Society today has become so PC that even mentioning that you think a size 8 is more beautiful than a size 18 will get you death glares and people accosting you for not respecting 'women of all body types'. Not to mention this 'healthy at any size' thing is ridiculous, if you can't walk to the letterbox cause you're so fucking fat, you aren't healthy.

>> No.6321282

See, people go around glaring at people who think skinny is more beautiful but it doesn't mean it's a non-issue. If anything, it's worse than ever before. I absolutely hated my body up until last year and I know most females my age have gone through the same thing. I starved myself at one point just to be skinnier. I hated the shape of my body, I hated my boobs, I hated my face. But not at one single point did I ever go "I think I'll get plastic surgery for that." but people do. Why? Because other people do. To make them feel better because society makes them feel so shit about themselves. It's a non-stop circle. And it upsets me that people take the easy way out, change themselves on the outside before they change themselves on the inside. Plastic surgery does not make insecurities go away. It just masks them.
