Facebook & tumblr: lacecommunity

Points for anyone with the balls to publicly tag their discontent with #ilovelace

On the topic of the Facebook page, it looks like they're ignoring (possibly deleting, no proof of that) comments that they don't like/questions they can't answer. Also, how did they rack up almost 3000 likes in a week? I smell paid likes, especially given the number of people who are actively engaging with their posts.

Yeah, I'm not sure what she's "trying to do" other than get more attention for herself, but she's really not getting as much support as you might think. From other fame hungry lolitas, newbies and impressionables who cling to e-famous lolitas, maybe, but not much beyond that.

This one?

I think it is a really great post - it outlines everything that needs to be improved on. Only thing I don't like is the whole "we must ~represent~ so all races feel included *only talks about black people*" but I think even that point has good intentions - after all, it's easier to talk about racially motivated harassment with someone with experience and/or training in it. Rest of the post is on point though.

I'm not sure what she could get bitched for exactly. She's not accusing anyone of malicious intent, she's remained factual and objective throughout the post, and not only that, she hasn't just not given crit - she's given very solid advice as to how to improve the organization as well. She's even included a bit of SJW and advocacy for marginalized groups in the post. Had this not have been about an anti-bullying group in a niche hobby, I think this could have the potential to go viral tumblr as a good guide on how to build an antibullying organization.

I think because it's way too solid, people are unfortunately just going to ignore it. I think the best way is to reblog it - I know I'm hesitant as well to reblog it, but if people read even the beginning, they'll soon realize it's not malicious at all in intent.

I can tell you just from looking that 27 of my friends have "Liked" the page. I haven't bothered because this is definitely some slacktivism bullshit - the sort of people who "Like" a facebook page like this are either not the bullying sort or are oblivious hypocrites. If you are actually "against" bullying you don't need to Like a facebook page to just do something about it when you see/hear it happening.

So pretty much the first thing LACE has done is ask people to that photos of themselves with a hashtag, and the second thing is ask artists to design buttons and merch for people to buy?

To clarify >>8283247: if #ilovelace was already in use before the organization LACE began using it, then it was very poor planning on LACE's part and pretty stupid since their message gets lost among outfit posts and people who were originally using it to find outfit inspo are annoyed with an offbeat antibullying campaign in their lacy dress tag.

I'm already personally seeing the hypocrisy this is bringing forth in people.

It's kind of like that anon, but it's not meant to be counseling. I do understand that bad advice could be really harmful, so giving advice isn't our intention. All we want to do in our letters is make them feel better, not make their problems go away, we understand we can't do that.
>>8283303
You could call it one-way pen-palling I guess. After people receive their letter they don't have to respond if they don't want to, the privacy details are actually listed on the FB page if you want to take a look. I'd explain it here but they're a little long.
>>8283364
Yes there is, but this isn't really pen-palling (at least the way I see it). The set up is more of.... hm, I guess it's like getting a get well card in the mail. People express that they're not feeling well, we send an encouraging letter, and they get a dose of positivity without having to write back.

>> No.8283454

So here is the thing.
LACE is nothing but a giant circle jerk for efamous roris looking to be seen and loved. I'm all for being a "mama figure" to girls who need help/support, but this is a clique. I've already noticed that if you're not popular or in the "in crowd", you're ignored by Kate and her group.
Established Lolitas who are confident in their coords but that don't feel the need to hound for fame aren't attracted to this. Itas who have been told they're screwing up are. This is the "feel good" mentality at work that I hate so much.
Bullying and harassment are bad. Holding someone back from improving by creating a big hug box is bad.

Well I honestly don't think lolita is a tightknit enough community for something like that to be effective at all. The community is divided between people who think that lolita is just clothes and a hobby, and people who want a sisterly bond with their fellow lolitas that just doesn't exist. And forcing it won't help anything.

Another thing is that bullying in this community is over-exaggerated, and much of this is caused by people getting the realization that the community isn't what they expected. So, these people are going to join the group and claim bullying and create the same echochamber scenario we have on tumblr. The people who whine and cry about being told they're not wearing lolita and how everyone is just meanies are going to be alongside people actually being bullied, and of course it's "victim blaming" or some shit to tell them they're not being bullied.

Hugbox groups like this are never good because they end up helping the wrong people more than the right ones and especially in a community that's nothing but dresses, why do we need it?

Ok I'm going to try not to ramble, bear with me!

That is a good point we're going to need to address. The community as a whole may not be tightknit, but I think there are enough people in the community that would enjoy receiving the letters. Even if it's not many people, responding to whoever few requests there are would still be a positive (if not small) impact.

I think that's where most of the misconceptions about LtL are coming from, we're not here to just address bullying. People can come to us with any kind of lolita-related problem, they don't even need to be serious. Maybe you need a confidence boost, or you're trying to get the courage to attend you're first meet. Hey, even if you're just bummed you lost out on your dream dress we'd like to be there for people. I feel like I still haven't addressed this properly though, so I'm going to keep thinking about it.

I do think it's a little too soon to call the group a hugbox just yet. We'd like to provide support, but at the same time I don't want to be a group that sugarcoats everyone's problems and says it's all ok. People are going to be writing with different reasons, and that's going to affect the tone of our responses.

>Why do we need it?
Ok so this one I can answer. Like you said before the community is split between people that think the community is like you said, nothing but dresses, and people who do see it as a community built on sisterhood and connections and such. We're here for the people that do want to be connected with other lolitas and need someone that's a part of the community to receive some encouragement from.

I really hope this wasn't too long and managed to answer your questions. If you do want to keep talking I would love to talk with you over email!

Different anon here: I hate the tumblr hugbox crap too, but I actually like this idea. I like making cutesy cards, but I don't really want to have a full-fledged pen pal that I get to know and write letters to regularly (I don't have time for that shit). But making a cute "you're awesome, feel better!" card for someone with a happy note for a lolita who is feeling shitty (not just bullying or whatever, but maybe feeling sick, or dog died, boyfriend dumped her, failed a class, generally kinda depressed and down, etc) I could get behind. No obligation like a penpal, still get to make a cute card and letter to brighten someone's day. I'm imagining lolita-themed cards already!

Lolita valentines is a group on LJ that used to post positive secrets(like an anti-btb) and a lot of them were to cheer up friends etc. You can look through the archives, but your idea is basically just that taken to the next level where they are sort of requested instead.

The reason the name is so pretentious is because it implies a lot of things that it really isn't doing. It may seem cute and lolita-ey but in reality it just makes you seem like a twat. Something more low-key and cutesy would probably sit better with people and even someone like me might be interested in it.

I think the one-sidedness is what makes it weird. It's going to be a bunch of sadsacks demanding validation and asspats, a bunch of nice people sending letters out into the void, with only a small percentage of the sadsacks getting their shit together and contributing positively to the community.

> But isn't that better than all of the sadsacks staying sad and contributing nothing?

I sent in an example to highlight the bullying issue in the comm - and nothing. They aren't interested in getting people to stop bullying or give alternatives to bullying behaviour, they just want to drum up attention and get a bunch of people showing that they support positivity - when some of those same ones are the ones who are contributing to the bullying in the first place. In fact, every lolita I know who has expressed hateful behaviour in the past is behind this. They don't even realise they are doing it, this group is just going to validate them when people are being SO SALTY or banning them from shit because of their "activism".
And Linda isn't the only bad person I know who supports this.


Honestly, you guys are quickly becoming the bullies. Don't make all of those secrets, don't start calling her "Girly toot". Completely uncalled for. At least she is *trying* to do something positive, no matter how shitty it is going to turn out. Don't make us the bad guys. Most people hate /cgl/, and for good reason, I am seeing now.
Think about this before you do it. How will calling her "girly toot" help our situation at all? It's funny, but it is not cool. She took a crap. Everybody bombs the crapper at some point in their lives, it isn't such a big deal. She made it into one, I see, but when people have a thin skin you help them to see that it isn't a big deal, you don't continue to insult and harass them. Doing this is going to give her more of an excuse to start screaming about the bullies in the online community. And y'know, she is right. You gulls suck.

You know, I really wanted to believe the good intention of LACE, I was curious to what it could do. Until a wanting-to-be-e-famous lolita from our country was pointed out as a representative? I don't even know if she just volunteered herself or she was pointed out, but she also started out making videos last month of her pricy brand-collection, that is after she didn't get enough fame from joining a crappy otaku-blog. Next to that she also has dyslexia and both her 'explaining' posts and her translation of 'the letter' are full of typos, translation mistakes and dyslectic mistakes.
I can't take her serious because of that. I'm sorry but I'm fine with people having dyslexia, I can understand but you do have to understand that for official stuff you can't make that much mistakes like that, you just won't be taken seriously.

Next to that, a lot of people from our comm have openly explained their opinion, which is for most of them 'nice idea but it won't help like this', mostly because bullying is seriously psychological stuff and just because a lot of online lolitas will like a page and share some posts about it, might help empower the feeling of 'I'm not alone, we're all against this' but it definitely won't stop people that bully. Actually, it might even make it worse. If it was an organization combined with professionals, for an professional approach and help, then yes maybe it would've been a whole different thing.
Yes bullying is bad, but it ffing happens everywhere people, if you're bullied that much that you have to do something against it, go seek prof. help because really that helps a lot more than grouping and screaming how bad it all is.

From RC: U

"Eh. I support this. And I won't feel ashamed for it. And yes while that one incident may not seem "that bad." these things add up, and pile one. I've known Kate for a while now and I've seen her get put through the wringer with CGL constantly trying to tear her down about wearing glasses or her coordinates. Or just telling her to kill her self. But hey it's not " THAT BAD" and people don't kill them selves every day over online trolls. Right? Oh wait they do.

As for the bullies. If you feel that you have to put someone down so much that you are telling someone to kill them selves or trying to tear someone down. They also need help. Because that isn't healthy.

I am so tired of seeing this hate on people I care about. And for what? Putting them selves out there and making themselves known? Spreading the fashion where it gets more recognized and we can have more events? Why is that so wrong? Why does everyone have such a hate boner for e-fame? I don't want it personally I'm more a behind the scenes person. But I support people who can show the community what a good coordinate is or make educational videos. I really want to see this community grow and be supportive of each other. We can do so much if we just get over misunderstandings and bitterness. Yes the community should of been started out with a more solid outlook. I agree with that, and its really bad timing on Kate's part. However it will reach stable ground if we all work for it and not against it."

I just find this a bit hilarious in the sense that a friend and I went to a pittsburgh Lolita event quite a while back when we went to school in the city. Kate and some of the others were not welcoming at all. A few of the girls were friendly and talked with us but Kate and a group sat seperate and basically did their own thing. Might have been a bad first impression or maybe she's changed but it wasn't a great first impression. Maybe it's a southern thing, but I always make an effort to talk to new people at my local meet ups...

Different anon here.
I also find weird the need of cheering up somebody, it could be taken as paternalistic. Do we want to make others feel less sad because we want to demonstrate ourselves we are strong enough to do so? Even if not, it seems there is a pre-requisite to ask for letters.
And if we fail into our cheering up mission? there is a reason for why therapists ask patients to not share their problems with couples or family : because they will fail to help and end up feeling like shit.
sadness aside, if meeting real life Lolitas can be disappointing, letters can be too.
I was in a gift exchange for LiW, and it just didn't work. People would give empty words and shity gifts. A single experience is not sufficient to get our optimism down , though.

However, I would love a forum. Through one is how I met my Lolita -big sister and she helped a lot since I started, even though I haven't met her irl.

dude, no, not even close. it's not even the filthiest chan. it's just the biggest one, so shitty people that need to feel better about themselves are happy to have something they can call pure evil instead of asking themselves how they range on the scale.

but i agree, i don't think i've ever seen anyone talk about anything more than her glasses and attitude here. and even then, there's never been a consensus either, there was always someone to say "the glasses don't really bother me so i think it's a nice coord" or "i heard she's just shy" or whatever.

Most people who hate 4chan have never even been on 4chan. They only know the "horror stories" from the media and think we're some sort of evil hacker organization that sprouts memes and doxxes people constantly. It's understandable if you think about it.

I see a lot of shit about her face or her chin, and that her coords look like shit, but it's increased tenfold since she started LACE, so I think it's just people being pissed off at that.

Someone should clue Kate in: they're probably the ones participating in the drama. Real friends don't force negativity into your face like that, and the fact that after the fact they said "well maybe not hurrdurr" either proves they knew it was bad and nothing good would come of it, or they're morons.

Also
>O WOE IS ME FOR I AM THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE A BAD BATHROOM STORY ON THE INTERNET
You know, this story would have just been in the annals of some obscure cgl archive. Now everyone knows about your shitter story Kate...everyone also knows now that a random stranger at a convention bathroom can hurt your ego this much.

>> No.8284232

You know, I will say this for Kate: she is genuinely sweet enough in person. Her timing may be bad, and maybe there is or maybe there isn't personal gain as a motive behind it, but I met Kate when I was a fledgling lolita who had no idea that she had any sort of e-famous moniker and she was nicer to me than she had any cause to be.
I attended the AWA tea party last year and was also in the fashion show, even though I had only one coord at the time and it was mediocre and nothing compared to the beautiful girls of the Atlanta comm. No one at the tea party save for Kate would even speak to me, and despite how awkward and nervous I was, she still talked to me and let me sit with her at her table so I didn't have to try to force myself in elsewhere. She didn't have to. She could have let me sit alone, or watched me sit quietly at a table full of girls who already knew each other. She had no reputation to build with me, because I had no idea who she was until several months later (so far as e-fame goes).
I don't know if LACE will do well but I think that Kate does have some genuinely good intentions in mind. I remember her talking with a friend at the tea party about how much hate she got, and I remember thinking that I didn't understand why, she seemed sweet, and her coord was nicely put together.
I haven't spoken to her since but it left a good impression and I'm hopeful that she does indeed want to do something good with this, even if I feel like there is a lot of work to be done before it is stable and running.

So I would get behind Lace if Kate was actually saying something proactive and helpful but she is not. It's all POSITIVITY and STOP BULLYING. She seems to think the way to deal with it is for people to never ever say anything bad that will offend someone.

I would have more respect if she had of said 'I was posted to /cgl/ because someone heard me poop in the toilet and while that did make me feel bad I acknowledge that the one thing I have no control over is what people say about me."

She could have stood up and been an example of how to deal with negative gossip but instead went nuts and made this crusade. There is a subtle if you aren't a Lace member you're a bully thing going on and I am not ok with it. This is her personal crusade against people saying things she doesn't like.

Not that anon but I think that's the whole point of this passive aggressive counter movement. LACE is probably not going to convince anyone to stop their bullying ways. Gaining maturity to realize that one is being a dildo is one of those things that happens differently for every cgl shit poster - for some it never happens at all, they just get bored and wander off. But painting a huge target on yourself the way LACE is doing doesn't seem like its going to do any lasting good. Until something changes, like LACE develop a cohesive strategy or mission statement, they are just feeding into the situation as much as sandy cunts like that anon (no disrespect meant) - it goes both ways - cgl bullies like it when their prey fights back - the most commonly given advice to people who find out they have been posted to the it's thread and try to defend themselves is "Don't. Just let it happen, don't fight it and it will be over and done with and everyone will probably forget." Shit. We have done the same thing in this thread here, people pointing that if Kate had just let the bathroom incident go, no one would have given it a second thought or any credence to an unsubstantiated rumor. Is it victim blaming? I don't know, I'm not some tumblr faggot but I can see that this is really unlikely to end well and the best we can hope for is mutual destruction to put us all out of our misery.

I know Jenna and Kate both. Kate used to be nice and sweet and welcoming, but I think e-fame has made her really self-centered. She hardly talks to anyone who can't bolster her fame in some way.

>isn't she a known bully anyway?
if bullying is wrong, it is always wrong. i don't care about kate because i don't care about celebrities of any stripe. the gossip rags at the checkout line hold zero interest for me and neither does the "lolcow dramu" bullshit.

but if you're going to bully someone don't try to justify it or act self-righteous. do it for the lulz or because you're a jelly bitch. no one is buying that kate deserves this treatment or that those perpetuating it have any moral superiority to do so.

trying to claim it's okay because she bullies people is like claiming it's okay to mock white people because white privilege.

No-- we're bitches, but we're not fucking creepy. We bitch about other bitches, not send them to creepy as bitches that will use their (pretty decent) coord photos as pornography. Please step the fuck back off this board, we may not look like it a lot but have standards, you fuckwit.

I would take a screencap so you could see there's only one (You) in that list, but then you'd just accuse me of photoshopping it so, just know that you aren't being funny anymore and no one agrees with you or your little stunt.
