I don't have a problem with leather ballet flats in lolita. They look very similar to maryjanes to me.
I also hate, hate hate pictures of girls holding their pets. I have a lovable little oaf of my own but they are just not nearly clean enough to hold against super nice dresses that are hard enough to clean as-is and it makes me cringe.

I will never understand this argument. Something being black doesn't make it not sweet, 'bittersweet' doesn't look any different than any other sweet coord. It's just as dumb as if someone called goth with blue 'midnight goth' or something ridiculous.

because using black is sweet is pretty effing weird in combination with pastels or cutesy type items, kind of like how "creepy cute" is a thing, since the symbols clash with the colors, but it's the other way around

I'm not saying it's its ~own special thing~, I think of it as a legitimate sub-type of sweet

but I'm in an unpopular opinions thread, so idk why I bother explaining

I think anon might think of bittersweet as a style because its dark palette goes against the usual aesthetic of sweet(bright, pastel, etc)
so a better example of a silly-sounding, not accepted by true goths and contradictory substyle of of goth would probably be "pastel goth"

For me bittersweet it's more that only sweet in black colors, maybe adding something less sweet and more "bitter" like skull accessories, spiked hair accessories, like creepy cute. I know most people dislike creepy cute because they consider it "tacky and unelegant" but i love it, i don't care about people hating it.
Another unpopular thing is i'm somewhat a goth but not really loving gothic lolita, so i wear bittersweet/creepy cute.

I like Wa-lolita.
Even though it's got "lolita" in the name and follows some of the same rules, I consider it more j-fashion than anything else. And I think it's much cuter and flattering than just wearing a yukata/kimono.

I love plain sweet coords.
1-2 accessories tops.
plain and oldschool sweet.
print dresses in plain coords too.
I need more of it, its just so basically beautiful, its just clothes, no need to go OTT, keep it to the basics.

plain colored wig? real hair? you have the bare minimum for a good coord?

perfect coord imo.

I'm so glad the days of shouting "ITAAAAAA" at basic coords are over. because I truely love them.

Let's start a club, anon.
I hate seeing perfectly fine simple coords posted to nitpick threads with the commentary that they need more accessories (at least one bracelet on each wrist! multiple rings! necklaces! a bunch of random shit on their head!), bigger poof or fake hair, even when the dress isn't remotely OTT.

I kind of wish plain/basic lolita was a thing like OTT is a thing, so people would tag their stuff and I could sift through everything to find the things I love. Well honestly I wish plain/basic coords were the norm but that's not going to happen.

I like that young girl that does the simple bodyline coords, her purses are ugly though. I started liking her less when she did heavier makeup.

its just really hard to find good basic coords to reblog because.. well no one reblogs them unless it looks like a kawaii fairy took a dump full of accessories on their coord.

Babies/toddlers at lolita meetups piss me off.
The sad part is even if they're quiet and well behaved I still feel extremely uncomfortable having someone else's offspring around.

I think it's because I secretly view every "parent" in my age group (18-24) as being incompetent, so something about bringing children to meetups instead of hiring a babysitter or dropping them off with hubbo/family makes me angry. I don't find them cute, I don't find them endearing, I just view it as a way for the parent in question to grab attention.

Honestly I think kids are better off if the barents wait until they're 24+ to have them.

Maybe 23.

Because 18 is way too young to be having kids, most people haven't grown up enough to take care of a child at that point. By 24, you've got your own living arrangements (usually), you've probably got a steady decent job, you may be married or at least have been with your partner for a decent while, you're over your shitty partying stage from turning 21, you're just better suited to be a parent.

I'm 20 and I can't imagine having to care for another being at this point besides my cat, who I feed and cuddle with and that's about all he needs.

I agree 100%. Most twenty somethings can't care for themselves let alone another totally dependent human being.

Maybe she meant there are some parents who marry really young and not knowing what means for real what is growing up a kid, there are several who marry too quickly and have kids but they are not ready to be parents or even in a marriage. But there are also older parents very not suitable to grow kids of course.

Dressing your baby up for a photoshoot is cute. Dressing them up to drag them along to a meetup that lasts several hours and is not intended to be child-friendly is not.

Imo if you're going to take your child along for a meetup you need to be prepared to leave ASAP when it starts to get cranky for any reason. If dressing up and gossiping with other rufflebutts is so important for the parent then they should drop the kid off with a nanny or a relative. That's just part of what you sign up for when you become a parent.

Not really, because meetups are not meant to be for children.
Children can get really cranky for no reason or would fuck shit up if they get bored.
If you have a meetup to attend but you can't leave your child with someone, then you should stay home.

Babies can be cute and shit, but you don't see people bringing babies to clubs, because it's not a child friendly environment.

Uh, what?

Look, when you become a parent you have to give up or compromise on certain things. If you can't afford to throw £20 at a babysitter, you probably shouldn't be going out anyway. I mean, you wouldn't take a child to the cinema, or a fancy restaurant, or to the office, or a club, or a spa day, or to a reading group, or whatever else adults do to relax, so why are lolita meet-ups an exception?

Some cinemas where I live don't let you take babies in except for specific mother-and-baby screenings of films that they will actually enjoy, which is a good idea imo. Mothers get to go to the cinema with their babies, everyone else gets to go to baby-free screenings, everybody wins. But why you would take a baby to see a 12 or 15 film (or even a kid's film for older children) is beyond me. It's not going to be fun for them, you, or anyone else.

If you can't afford a babysitter for when you go to meet ups, you shouldn't be going to them. To be honest, you sound more like a whingey, entitled brat than that anon; why should you spoil everyone else's afternoon by bringing your kid just so you can go to a meet up?

It's inconsiderate in every possible way. If someone can spend hundreds of dollars on an outfit, but not spend 20$ a babysitter, they need to rethink their priorities.
If they really have no support network to help them take care of kids for just an hour or two, they should probably be making other mommy friends to help take care of their kids instead of going to meetups and bothering everyone there with their baby.
The kids have no idea what's going on at a meetup, and definitely wouldn't enjoy it. They may, at best, be well behaved but that's inconsiderate of the kid to force them to go. Plus they're messy and make things awkward.
Babies are very cute but they aren't appropriate to tote around absolutely everywhere.

Yes, but your brain doesn't finish maturing until you're 23-25. So it's great you want kids but it's best to wait until your cognitive and decision making processes have finished forming.
Teens are for physical growth
Early 20's are for mental and emotional growth

I hate participating in fashion walks. While I enjoy meeting other people who like Japanese fashion and I don't mind walking around the city in lolita if we're going to someplace in particular. I don't get the point of parading ourselves around the city in outlandish fashion just to have dozens of normalfags be like "Why are you dressed like that? Are you in a play or something?" every 10 feet. Like, what is even the point of a fashion walk? To "raise awareness of Harajuku fashion" or something? I enjoy wearing lolita but I fucking hate having to explain it to soccer moms and sorrority girls and everyone else and their mother when I'm out in public.

Why can't people just worry about their own financial status? Sure, some parents are extremely, filthy rich and are fine with giving their children expensive gifts, but that doesn't necessarily mean that these kids are "spoiled" and "sheltered."

Nope. Your English is fine and I understand everything you said. Man, all of this talk about lolita parents with young children is a little triggering because I have a friend who also wears lolita, but has a toddler and has tried to tow her child along. I like kids, but not enough to want one right now, and I thought it was rude and baffling for her to bring the tyke to past meets. Fortunately, I tend to run meets, so I usually have a final say in who is attending.

>>7757574

I just meant that it really irritates me because of previous experiences with that sort of thing. I had a small meet with some people. One of them didn't even tell me that she was going to bring her kid along and it was too late to say anything, so I brushed it off as a one time thing. It was pretty frightening and embarrassing to deal with a one year old as soon as her mom left for a minute to use the bathroom.

I was four. If I wasn't already afraid of dogs I probably would've been fine and enjoyed the movie.

Locks of Love claims to provide wigs for children/teens undergoing chemo who have lost their hair. The wigs are made from hair donated by the public for free, but it came to light a few years ago that LoL was making and selling extensions and the like made from donated hair.

My parents had me when they were both 23 and I feel like I had a really great life and was raised pretty damn well. So I agree with this sentiment.

My mom had an abortion when she was 19 or 20 (I don't remember what she told me) because she knew she wasn't ready emotionally or financially for a baby. I think that was really mature of her to do, especially knowing she had always wanted a kid. Most people would be selfish turds and have the kid anyway.

Personally I don't want any kids. I don't like seeing them at meet ups because I'm not going to an adult gathering to censor myself - I already do that for a living, I'm a 4th grade teacher. And 4th graders are pretty mature as far as kids go.

My boyfriend's parents had him and his sister when they were 20-22 and it completely fucked them over. His mom dropped out of university to take care of the kids and his dad ended up having to spend several years extra on his studies and drowning in debt. They actually lived apart for the first few years of the kids' lives because his mom moved back in with her own parents but his dad stayed at university. They were really (like legit freezing-in-winter) poor until my boyfriend was in his early teens and his dad finally got lucky and scored a well-paying job.

And now they're complaining that my boyfriend is 26 and still hasn't given them grandchildren. I get the feeling it's getting to him because he keeps talking about babies and wanting a bigger apartment. I'm only 22 and neither of us has a decently-paying job yet. Sure my boyfriend and his sister ended up fine but there's no way I am willingly putting myself through all that shit when I could just wait a few years for more stability. Why choose to go through all that stress? Why have a baby when you KNOW you won't be able to provide for it without outside help? It's not like either of us are going to be infertile in a few years, jfc.

I have the same problem. I have a small jaw and there's not enough room for my teeth. Not to mention 3 of my wisdom teeth came in wrong (one entirely sideways) adding to the mess. I had insurance for 2 years but was paranoid of seeing the dentist because I was afraid of what would need to be done. Not only that but poorfag during childhood and my teenage years. I'd last seen the dentist at age 12, 32 now.

Surprisingly, with insurance all the work I needed done came out to 1,500. But I'm debating on if I want to get braces at this point or not to fix the crowding. I'd have to wait until I got a promotion at work finish paying off my student loans and then I'd probably consider it. But I wonder if I should even bother at that point.

The overbite I have is the worst though. Eating any kind of sandwich, burger, pizza, or wrap is a full contact sport. I don't even use my top incisors for anything.

>>	Anonymous Mon Aug 18 13:38:54 2014 No.7765234 I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion or not, but I freaking hate it when a decently dressed lolita wears giant hipster glasses with the coord. Most times it just throws the whole thing off and makes the potentially good coord look like crap.

Yes, infact. If one day i will find a bf and take him to lolita meets, i will ensure he will be dressed in ouji/aristocrat or also simply fancy goth fashion and not dressing in plain clothing for that day. I admit i dislike see lolitas all well fancy dressed and their bf dressed so plain in tee and jeans in meetups.

I think it's much better to have a small wardrobe that's very cohesive (a few main pieces with a lot of good basics). Rather than having a ton of dresses, I think having a few that you absolutely love and changing up the way they're coordinated in unique ways is more fun and affordable too.

I think this right here is the biggest convincing reason to get shitty parents to not bring their kid to the theater.

Theaters are loud as fuck. Every boom is a god damn jumpscare that startles me & is terrifying to most kids. They'll enjoy the movie a thousand times more if you just watch it when it comes out on DVD like this Anon probably did.

And to keep this on track, I absolutely hate boystyle/ouji/kodona. Especially guys like this who have "BEAUTIUFL LONG MAN HAIR~!" No. It's frizzy, it's gay, and it's gross. Boystyle is fucking gay. This isn't a fucking "WAH WAH VENDETTA", he's just the first example I thought of.

Not that anon, but there's no amount of income that makes you "poor enough" to automatically hate everybody that has more money than you.

I hate when poorfags whine about how they can't afford lolita and pretend that they deserve to afford it for some reason. Expensive fashion is a luxury, not a right. Sorry to say, but not everyone will be able to afford a quality lolita wardrobe without putting in effort.

Don't mean to beat a dead horse, but that's my main issue with the replica debate as well: people thinking they *deserve* to rip off brands because they're poor and deserve anything and everything they can't afford.

Not sure if all of these are actually unpopular but:
- black colorways of pastel prints are gross
- unnatural colored wigs are also gross 9/10 times.
- chubby girls in sweet lolita are adorable.
- not covering your shoulders is unacceptable, no matter how hot it is.

I don't like boystyle, or really any Jfashion, on men either. The only guy I've seen pull it off is that model-gorgeous French guy and he could probably pull off anything, unlike most guys who attempt boystyle.
I'd rather have my lanky nerd of a boyfriend come to meets in jeans a t-shirt than attempt any kind of Jfashion. If I ever have to dress him up to match me I'd probably go for a more western preppy look rather than anything too dandy.

I'm a poorfag and the idea that it's ok to buy a replica disgusts me wholeheartedly.

I own brand(only 1 piece but I plan on owning more, I am at a crux as to which branch of lolita I prefer. My JSK is AP but I'm leaning towards Classic) and you know what I did to get said piece of brand? I saved and the seller was gracious enough to put a hold on the dress for me, it helped she was in my comm and is super nice but still. I had planned on paying for it through payment plan. I have 2 offbrand dresses ordered, one on the way and the other I am currently paying through Payment plan. These dresses are in a classic style and if I like that style, there's a few IW dresses I have had my eye on.

TL;DR If you are poor either buy Offbrand or buy brand through budgeting and payment plans. Replicas look like shit and are overpriced to shit. Also if you are a fattychan, replicas are no fucking excuse either.

This. There isn't any real reason to drop money down on most replicas since for the price of a replica you can find decent indie brand and pieces off taobao. I think the only replicas I really don't mind so much are shoes when you have big feet. You can't alter shoes the same way you can clothes and you can be a petite girl who fits into burando, but have giant duck feet.

I don't mind replica shoes as I've heard they aren't worth the money you pay for them. Also my feet are weird as shoes from some shops bother them and others don't so I have no intention of owning them.

I also heard brand bags aren't worth the money, is this true? I don't mind saving up for bags but if they aren't worth it then I'd rather a similar design bag(a design replica?) but not at brand price.

I think brand bags are worth it. They're often very unique, but even the simpler bags benefit from the brand tag and price. For example, I own this bag, and it is a gorgeous little piece. Loris makes a replica of it, but in all the photos I've seen of it it looks really cheap. Maybe I'm just a stuck up cunt, but a cheap looking bag ruins a coord for me. Shoes don't seem to suffer from being replicas, but in my opinion most bags do.

Ah god this. They're more concerned about having the "must have flavor of the month print" then actually owning a few, nice, off brand/indie pieces. I mean, yes there's some very specific prints I want(Like Merry making in the ghost town) but I'd rather have one or two brand pieces that I adore and a some really cute off brand then a bunch of replicas.

There are some seriously cute prints that run half the price of brand on taobao, even after the cost of shipping and shopping service fees. The magic potion jsk comes to mind. I love the print and the price point was pretty damn reasonable.

On the other end of the spectrum, my mom had me when she was 21 and it fucked both of us over for life. She used to always rub it in my face that she wanted to abort me, and the only reason she didn't was because she chickened out when the surgeon tried to put her under general anesthesia.

My unpopular opinion:
I don't like colorful sweet lolita bags. Hearts, stars, candies, animals - just nope. The brand ones at least look at a bit fancier but the replicas, especially from loris, instantly ruin even the best of the coords. They look cheap, tacky, costume-ish and I'm gonna judge you for them.

It's a shame because I feel like I'd love all those funny shaped purses if they were better quality with lots of detailing. I like Swimmer's Biscuits and Milk's metallic hearts, but the plain bright colored stuff AP makes is so bleugh. I still can't believe people used to spend over $200 on them secondhand.

You forgot also Punk Lolita, here piercings look fitting a lot. I don't have any piercing or tattoos yet, but i love how piercings looks if they aren't too much and too big. I only dislike these ear lobes piercings usually, they aren't cute enough for such fashion.

Except it's not. His top half looks incredibly busy with all the textures going on, plus he's trying to go for a "casual" look when he just looks unkempt.

There's always been an association between dressing out of the norm or well as "being gay", this doesn't only apply to Boystyle either.

I don't even like the style, but I do really think that that association is really stupid.

We can be together in this. I love tacky stuff unless is poor coordinated or ita-tastic. Also i love simple coordinates, they make a print look better than putting lots of elaborate clothing pieces.
Another thing i dislike is the "toning down sweet prints with classic" because when people do this, all the time look more OTT and less plain than a regular non OTT sweet coordinate. Wish people can suggest to really tone down sweet prints with real plain stuff, while still look nice.

Unpopular opinion: I actually like the basic-white-dress-splattered-with-fake-blood guro look. It's a costume for sure and it's not ~original~ but it's still fun and I like the way it looks most of the time.

I've posted this one before but I like the Bodyline clock print too and it makes me sad that it will forever be associated with overexcited noobs trying to make OMGSTEAMPUNKLOLITA coords.

I also think all but the most OTT usually printed JSKs look better with nothing underneath them, worn as sundresses with petticoats. I don't know if I'd call it lolita necessarily but blouses under JSKs just look so bulky to me, especially if it has a collar...if people do layer their JSKs a bolero looks so much better.

I don't know if this is unpopular per se but I almost never see it so I'll still put it here: headbows on barrettes on the back of your head >>>>>>>>>>>> bows on headbands on top of your head.

Yeah, I have my ear lobes stretched to 10g and I'm hesitating to go any bigger than 8 or 6. I don't like the stretched out look at all and if you ever want to go back to a smaller sizing, you need ear lobe repair surgery.

I turned down a job due to ridiculous piercing policy. First they told me I could wear retainers, then they told me I had to cover them up with bandages. In the end the job wasn't worth the money for the hassle and I'm going into an industry where no one gives a fuck what you look like.

It's tough to get a job in this shitty economy with piercings, but they're a part of who I am now and give me too much of a confidence boost to ever take them off.

I don't mean to burst your bubble, anon, but a lot of translating (especially if you're just starting out) is not done from home. Major book translators and freelance translators can work from home, but in order to reach that level, you generally have to do company work (at an office) first.

I DO like kids and think this argument is bullshit. Yeah I was a kid once, but my family only took me to kid-appropriate events, and got me the fuck right on outta there if I started to act in ways that made the event miserable for everyone involved. Even if they didn't, that doesn't mean I should be subjected now as an adult to kids who don't act that way. I will agree that it's rarely the kid's fault, but it doesn't matter--if an event isn't kid-appropriate, it just...isn't, and having a kid there is unfortunate for everyone else, and can't be a walk in the park for the kid and its parents either.

Unpopular opinion: Don't bring your pets to meet ups.

Seriously, it is so annoying. Depending on the owner/pet they can be loud big, constantly ran around and it always makes me so uncomfotable to enter any place with this pets that serves food.
Also, dangerously unpopular opinion: I'm not a big fan of dogs. (I am not a big cat fan either but these usually do not get dragged to meet ups.) Do dogs look cute? Absolutley, as long as they are on a picture on the internet or ten feet away, but I don't enjoy having them around me, especially in my $300 dress. They smell, shed hair, and I am always afraid their claws/theeth will ruin my dress. I hate nothing more than having a dog approaching me and spring around while I am wearing lace thights, a lacey dress and a petticoat. Nope. Not to mention I am really uncomfortable around bigger dogs. Keep your dog away from me, especially if you are one of these pet moms who have to talk 24/7 about their precious cute little dog (or cat. I don't care about your cat either). It is already annoyng when parents do that, so please spare me that crap with your pets too. Yes, they are cute. No, I don't think they are precious angels send by heaven to save all our lives; the same rules as with children apply: Don't expect everyone to care.

I don't know how unpopular this is but I wish we had a bot that policed posts on here and on the comms that auto-rejected posts with common, obnoxious spelling errors. "Sheering" is the worst offender because it's not a typo, people actually spell it that way intentionally, though I see "thights" too often to believe it's a typo each time either. Others include "pettiecoat" or "petitcoat" and "cat" for LJ-cut, though that one would be harder to scan for.
