It baffles my mind whenever lolitas (and people in general) think that they "can eradicate bullying forever ~~~!! uwu" by posting a video about it, then act so surprised when there's so much negative backlash against the video. Like bitch, you honestly DIDN'T expect this to happen at all?!

Not really cgl related, but I have to get it out somewhere. When I was 11 or so, I was clinically depressed and suicidal, and part of what helped me get out of it was watching CardCaptor Sakura. It gave me something I really cared about.

Now one of my friends has started watching the dub. She insists that the dub is better, refers to all the characters as their dub names, calls me stupid for liking the original more. She won't even try watching the sub. This is after I told her how much it meant to me. She wants to cosplay "Madison".

I don't buy from the EU unless it's shit that I can never find for sale because of the extra they charge to cover customs, but if people are willing to pay up, there's absolutely no reason they shouldn't price it how they want.

HIGHLY DUBIOUS.
A dress whose materials and actual retail sale that was worth $350 is hardly worth a resale value of $500+ just because there's a few desperate bitches who think they won't get it otherwise unless they pay it.
Demand=/=actual worth

It's like people who paid $28k for the "virgin mary" toast; some asshole capitalized on peoples' irrational emotional responses and an impulsive need to have an item that they felt represented something meaningful.
Not because of piece of burnt bread is actually worth $28k.

With that logic said, "entitlement" is believing that a certain person owes you special treatment or a privilege over others. Me calling a person a "scalper" because I think the price they're asking for a dress is ridiculous isn't me demanding that the person sell me their dress for a $1, nor indicating that I want that person's item at all. Use "entitlement" properly.

>What a magical coincidence, it's almost as if Europeans price items according to European standards dictated by European import taxes.

Many Americans don't understand that the entire world doesn't revolve around their country, and they genuinely think everyone should bend over backwards to cater to them. It doesn't matter to them that there's no shortage of people who will buy regardless of the customs fees, you should still be pricing things lower just because they want you to.

>> No.8555478

>>8555443
>Use "entitlement" properly.
Did you even read my post? Never once do I even use that word. That being said, it is undeniably entitled to be well aware that a dress consistently sells for well over its original price, then get mad and bitch about it when a seller won't sell it for retail just because that's what you consider "reasonable". It's not entitled to not want to pay up, but to complain about it and act like they're in the wrong is, and if you try to say otherwise, it's just because you don't want to admit you have entitlement issues. Also, if you're going to bitch about using words incorrectly, you might want to brush up on the meaning of scalper, because you clearly don't know what it means. Someone selling an item for above retail doesn't automatically make them a scalper, you don't even know what they paid for it. Scalping is specifically buying something for the purpose of selling it for more later.

>HIGHLY DUBIOUS.
... how is it in any way dubious? Okay, let me break it down for you.

>dress retails at $300 and sells out
>auction after auction lands it as $700 and that's considered it's going rate
>someone lists it for $700 in perfect condition
>another person, either unaware of the dress's going rate or simply butthurt, complains about what a filthy scalper they are

I'm sorry, but if you don't think that's a valid thing to complain about, you're a fucking moron and need to get over yourself. Also, as far as your logic about how much an item is "worth", it's worth what people are willing to pay for it. If people are willing to pay 28K for toast, then that toast is 28K. Even if hypothetically you're right and that's not the way value works, so what? If countless people are willing to drop $1,500+ for a dress like Puppet Circus, then why should people be faulted for selling it for that much? No one NEEDS these dresses. The way you're talking about this, you would think the item in question was food or life saving drugs.

Not the same anon but you should at least try making your samefagging more subtle.

Why do you assume that people who don't like seeing dresses charged above retail have never "shelled out" for a dress before?
I paid $750 for a dress and headbow set from AP secondhand when both barely retailed for $300 in my currency. I know that if I relisted the dress for the price I bought not many people would buy it and would probably complain, but it's the risk I took when I said I wanted the dress. And tbh, I don't really wish to resell for quite some time.

If someone called me a scalper I wouldn't give a shit. People are entitled to their opinions about things. If nobody buys, I just lower the price little by little or take offers. It's very simple.

And...? Why do we have to be friends? Maybe the reason why you're so insecure about overcharging is because you know deep down the dress isn't worth it and it makes you angry when people know better, or at least when other sellers don't take it personally if other people feel that way about their price. You're such a snowflake.

There are specifically people who buy from releases and resell for higher prices secondhand immediately because they knew it would be popular. So yes, there is such thing as a scalper in this fashion as in other fashions.

Secondly, while I wouldn't call someone else a "scalper" if they just tried to get the amount back on what they paid, say $500 for a semi-popular dress, maybe they should take the hint when people aren't biting or not be so butthurt when people think it's a high price. If it sells for a higher price, then it is overcharge and people are allowed to say it is. That's not ignorance, that's just observation.

>Having an opinion about a dress price you don't like and think is shitty is NOT "entitled" behavior.
It's fine to not like a price, but calling it shitty and complaining to the point of blindly accusing them of being a scalper when it's priced at what it usually goes is. Why can't you accept that it's straight up dictionary definition entitlement to bitch about how someone should charge you less than they can get? It's not even up for debate.
>You thinking that everyone has to shut up about prices because it hurts your feelings IS entitled though. You're not special and neither are your overpriced dresses, and yes, I will criticize so you better learn to suck it up buttercup or don't sell if anonymous opinions get your feefees that badly.
Honey, you can criticize all you want, it doesn't stop the dresses from selling at their regular prices, and all it does is show what a bitter little crybaby you are. Also, saying it's entitled to sell things for their going rate is probably the single stupidest thing I have ever read regarding this subject, and that's saying a lot.

Also, I like how you're accusing me of being the butthurt one, when you're the one whose been full of mad and projection throughout the entire conversation. It seems like "no u" is the best argument you can come up with.

What you're describing isn't what's being discussed. No one is denying that there are scalpers in lolita, nor is anyone saying that people shouldn't lower their prices when no one is buying. We're specifically talking about the people who accuse others of scalping when they're just selling dresses for what they always go for. For example, someone calling a person a scalper because they're selling the Iron Gate OP for a grand. That's just straight up what you can expect to pay for that dress, it's been that way for years. To call someone a scalper for pricing it that way would be factually incorrect, which is what I was referring to.

The one time anyone has ever complained about my pricing, someone bought it for my asking price less than two hours later, so no. Nice projection, though. I'm not sure why I'm apparently not allowed to be annoyed by something very legitimate in a vent thread?

That's why we have cheap brand from older releases today.

My point this entire time is that calling something stupid isn't entitled behavior.
I guess you're nitpitcking at it because I said "scalper" and that triggered you into thinking I label every seller who I don't like as such. Obviously I don't think every seller who sets high prices is intentionally scalping, but I do think the prices can be retarded depending on the situation.

I'm slowly becoming very intolerant of my country's cosplay comm. I travelled to a neighbouring county to compete in a contest and was met with surprise at the fact my outfit was clean and well done. My country's rep is apparently that shit. Being there I got to relax and scope out their cosplayers before flying home.

I honestly agree. I've come back to Fb pics and the quality difference is insane. My comm is absolutely full of self entitled bitches between ages of 18-30 and despite being terrible at sewing expect people like myself (older comm who have pretty much spoonfed these people with tutorials and advice) to kiss the ground they walk on. I have a group who claim to hate me for being "so elitist" yet kiss my butt for being a "better cosplayer" which makes me elitist. And also the 13-17 year olds lying about making cosplays is getting concerning.

I really want to improve the comm's standards but I feel it's way too late so the only way is to get harsher with competition judging without giving it away we're weeding out this shit mentality. Even then it's probably better to just let them hang themselves. It just takes too long since they're all stupid and refuse to see they're all two faced bitches to each other too for fame they'll never get.

Anyone who seriously thinks this is either new, wearing rose tinted glasses, or just didn't pay attention. There is waaay less negativity in lolita than they're used to be. Back in the day, there was GTFO EGL, Lolita Fucks, Lolita Vendettas, and drama wasn't against the rules on here and like 80% of what the lolita threads were about. It was also much more socially acceptable, to the point of being expected, for people to give concrit unsolicited. Back in the day, if you didn't want concrit, the general consensus was "then don't post it to lolita sites calling it lolita" these days it's all a big hugbox and if someone wants to call a Ciel cosplay lolita, you're a bitch for telling them it isn't.

I saw someone complaining about how now it's all about refreshing tumblr to see if you got more notes. Before that, it was MySpace comments. Before that, it was d_l comments.

I hate them too and I honestly don't even care if it's kinkshaming, mostly because I think it's a really weird fucking kink and if I find out anyone is into ddlg I sideeye them. (Personally I might think it's less weird if I think 2 people who are similar in age are into it, i.e. a 22 year old girl and a 23 year old guy, but I think it's super creepy when it's like, an 18 year old girl and a 40 year old man, or a vice versa with an older woman and younger man because IMO at that point you're fetishizing the actual age difference and that's super sketchy to me)
on my blog in my sidebar/bio I have a short line stating to not follow or reblog my posts if you are a fetish blog. I haven't posted much on it since it's a completely different blog from my main one on tumblr so I forgot to log in to the other account sometimes, so I haven't yet encountered anything weird yet but I know people in other communities - i.e. plus size blogs and corsetry blog, will also post similar things on their photos (asking porn blogs not to reblog). If I do ever encounter someone I will have no qualms about publically telling them to fuck off, even though I 100% understand that tumblr is a public platform and once I put my photo out there I can't necessarily stop people from reblogging my shit.

My biggest worry is just my face ending up on one of those gross blogs cause it's like..i'm not a feitsh or adult blog, I seriously didn't ask to be reblogged to an 18+ tumblr like that. A lot of people (esp dudes) who run 18+ blogs tend to be creepy in that aspect in that they don't give a shit about reblogging people's photos that were never intended to be adult in nature. It's reasonable to see someone's nude photo and reblog it to a porn blog, but I think it's not okay at all to reblog 'normal' SFW selfies of people into porn blogs, it's just super weird and unnecessary and that wasn't the intention of the initial photo at all.

tl;dr more of us should start telling them to fuck off

I don't understand why tumblr doesn't have an option like "do not let x-rated blogs reblog my posts." It's such a common complaint, they should do something about it. After all, they already have the option to filter adult content, they just need to take it a step further.

Also, I'be always want to make/sell some "kinkshamer" merchandise just out of spite, but in this social climate it'd be about as well received as wearing a tee shirt emblazoned with "anti-semite". For being such hardxxxcore in ur face edgelords, kinksters are such fucking cry babies when it comes to people finding their nasty, highly public sex lives to be distasteful.

and I'm not annoyed with the people who spread good resources/information or politely give ideas that aren't shit, but there are so many who have this knowledge complex who think they know everything when all they do is listen to what other people say and repeat it like they're the ones who came up with it.and maybe if they were spread good advice it'd be fine but no, they're always giving really shitty advice that makes it painfully obvious they're an inexperienced lolita who has no idea what the fuck they're doing

As someone who is into bdsm shit I seriously do not care about "kinkshaming" people who have questionable or inappropriate kinks and fetishes. I know how to keep that shit within the appropriate communites and not to bother people who are not fucking interested. It's super annoying how some kinksters have to try and involve everyone around them and it's actually really creepy sometimes. Some of them need to learn that there's a difference between someone being a dick to you over a foot fetish vs. someone being uncomfortable when you loudly declare that you jack off to women wearing diapers in a baby crib.

Anyways, I think they recently changed the blocking feature so that you can finally, actually block people for real, but I do agree that I wish there was a feature that said do not let adult blogs see my posts....it especially would make sense to have one since there's so many underage kids (like, clueless 12 year olds that don't need to be exposed to daddy/little girl shit) and I remember when yahoo first took over they were really trying to wipe a lot of adult blogs. There should also be some sort of system to "flag" blogs as adult if a blog hasn't marked itself as such (I think you can mark yourself as 18+ in your settings?).

But sigh, if we did all ask for that feature it's probably something that wouldn't be implemented in a long time, not before 5 more layout changes, another redesigned logo, and the addition for 2 new useless features.

Another kinkster here.
Not wanting to be on a porn blog has nothing to do with kinkshsming. Its not kinkshaming to not want to be a part of someone's sex life, and they shouldn't be doing that without your consent.
My advice would be to make it clear to them that you do not CONSENT to being a part of their sex life, that this makes you feel uncomfortable and violated, (the first bit should do it) and mention that the clothes you wear are not sexual, and that you are not OK with them sexualising what you wear.
Basically the entire thing about all kinks, including ddlg stuff, is that it's OK because consenting adults. The second they start involving non consenting adults, its somewhere on a scale from sexual harassment to rape.
There will be at least a few who genuinely thought your frills were a kink thing and will be horrified that they did that.
Then there will be some who don't care,but will back down if you kick up a fuss about consent in the notes, because huge portions of the kink community will shun you if you look like you don't care about consent. And some won't change.
But still, it's probably worth dropping them an ask.
If you aren't comfortable doing that yourself, that's a think I'm actually happy to do for people, especially under 18s. My tumblr (unused, but still) is alexwearslolita

Sorry gulls, I know it's not /cgl/ related but I just need to vent. Today my dad went to the hospital for neck pains and he had a mini heart attack and wound up going in for open heart surgery. The surgery itself wasn't really a worry for me cause he's already had one heart attack, but I've been panicking all day because when he got leg surgery his company told him that he only had so many more days he could miss before bring laid off. He's been there 25 years and is one of their top employees, not to mention 70% of my family's income. I'm honestly terrified because he didn't graduate high school, he got into a trade so if he gets laid off it'll be really hard for him to find a job as good as this one. I'm going for my sophomore year of college and I'm trying to get another job to help support myself, but I'm still fucking terrified about all this.

Did this get started because it's classified as a "fashion subculture" and people misunderstood?

It really is just clothing, albeit a "hobby" fashion with more emphasis on coordinating and high quality clothing than normalfag stuff.

"But it's annoying when people smoke/act trashy in lolita!" It's kind of annoying when people do those things in any hobby... or just in general. Behaving well when you're at a group gathering doesn't mean you're a proper lolita or anything, it just means you have manners and aren't a social retard.

I swear, people will plaster "RARE" on anything.

I'm a little miffed of my comm's current standards in accepting applications for entry.

This week someone posted a super-vague question along the lines of "I'm just starting out lolita fashion, could I have some advice on it?" With further questioning by mods (bless their patient hearts), she specified she wanted to be a gothic lolita, which still didn't help much.

I understand not starting out with a completely full wardrobe, but no, that was just outright asking for someone to hold their hand, without having done research beforehand. It makes me wonder how this person got in the group, who their sponsor is (every new member needs one in order to enter the group), and whether their sponsor knew before how dumb (or lazy) she was.

I also noticed one of my acquaintances who I know from another social circle, is also a member of the lolita facebook group. She has zero lolita pieces, and doesn't plan to get any, at all. Her presence on the facebook page is harmless, but I'm terrified that if she decides to show up to an actual meet and she joins a group photo, she will get torn to shreds online. She has neither a fortunate face nor body shape, and the way she posts and writes online is quite inflammatory. In real life she's a nice, sociable girl and makes big bucks at her job. But she also is dealing with a lot of other shit in her life, and I don't the cattiness of the hobby to be yet another point of stress for her.

The total membership of that facebook group is exceeding 200, and yet only an average of 5-15 lolitas physically show up to events. I'm beginning to suspect that a significant portion of non-attendees may be lolitas who just don't want to deal with newbies.

>I also noticed one of my acquaintances who I know from another social circle, is also a member of the lolita facebook group. She has zero lolita pieces, and doesn't plan to get any, at all. Her presence on the facebook page is harmless, but I'm terrified that if she decides to show up to an actual meet and she joins a group photo, she will get torn to shreds online. She has neither a fortunate face nor body shape, and the way she posts and writes online is quite inflammatory. In real life she's a nice, sociable girl and makes big bucks at her job. But she also is dealing with a lot of other shit in her life, and I don't the cattiness of the hobby to be yet another point of stress for her.

Sounds like she's a big girl and you should let her handle her own decisions.

Hahahahahahahaha, uhm no.

I don't work more out, than the average person in my country. Which is for the carless people under use: bicycle, walking and public transport.

Also methabolism can account a huge difference under different circumstances, like eating habits, different types of food, hormone changes, environment etc.

And sometimes people stay skinny because of things that have nothing to do with methabolism.

So no, I don't get why it's hard to believe.

Honestly, I'm somebody who is into the ddlg deal (in a nonsexual manner), and I 100% people's issues. I keep my private life exactly that-- private. Which is what everybody should do, involving anything possibly sexual or could make people uncomfortable. I don't involve anybody else, because that's fucking weird and would make anybody

It's one thing for somebody's blog to just happen to post ddlg things occasionally (not a porn blog, or a primarily ddlg blog) and reblogging a picture of lolita, and for a straight up 90% porn blog to reblog something with a creepy comment. Getting upset about the former, imo, is being petulant, but the latter is completely justified.

Me enjoying lolita and ddlg aren't related in any way, shape or form, and I don't involve them with each other period.

Idk what to do, I really need a job but I live in a small ass town, no one wants to give work unless its to underage high schoolers and all the job agencies just send you to jobs an hour+ away from here. I just need a job so my bf can stop taking extra hours just so we can have extra money to give to my younger brother so he can buy himseld food because my dad is married to a gold digger who buys herself a new 100+ pair of shoes a day and doig plastic surgeries ever so often and my mom us a woman with no job who only gets 700 from some rents she gets but we always are left with 20 dollars to eat with for 2 weeks. Only my bf is supporting me and my brother is showing signs of depression which isn't good and I can't find a job and the only thing that made me feel beautiful was lolita and can't have it anymore.

From a small town in the West Coast. No one in my comm knows about my situation expect two friends who are willing to buy my shit and keep it until I can buy them back. Lucky those two girls are loners and don't go to meets at all so I ain't outting myself out. But holy shit man, life is shitty and I am gainning weight due to stress. I had a gofundme set up on tumblr to help pay bills and food while my dad was in the hospital but it never got donations after a month. I gotta just start taking adult responsibilites and suck it up and do what I can for my brother since he is my only family.

>>8582413
What is financial domination? Like getting a sugar daddy? And selling used panties doesn't sound that bad. I just need to find a way to make money that doesn't involve me doing cam because that is my last resort. Might look into the panties and sex line business though. Thanks for the ideas anon.

I'm guessing you already tried this, but has your dad tried contacting the hospital directly for the records or going in person? They are legally obligated to give them to him (they might just be giving you the runaround because your name doesn't match and they don't give a fuck about your situation).

Whole different story about child support but to put it simply
>Mom is a stupid woman
>never applied child support for 8+ years
>sold our house without telling us and had to move schools, house, and city in 3 days
>brother went to live with dad until moving is done
>lived in a fucking motel for 3 months cause stupid woman and her boyfriend
>brother never came back after getting a house
>still lives with dad until this day cause high school

So she regrets never getting child support and making my brother live with us, I go visit him weekly but that has stopped since my father getting sick which I lived in his house for 4 months until July. Brother wants to live with me since he lives in a shitty environment but my mom's place is just as bad cause shitty possessive bf comes her 5 times a week and it's fucking creepy. Would love to get a place of my own to take in my brother. And my dad has tried going in person but they told him they can't give him any records even though it's in his right to get them. I guess he didn't explain well since english isn't his first language and the struggle is real in that sense. Might just go down there with him to get them documents.

There was actual a story I read in one of my textbooks (a real story) where a woman was talking about how her mother had a hard time getting people to listen to her because of her bad English, so she'd often pretend to be her mother on the phone even as a child and she had to go to the hospital with her mom to advocate for her. People would rather tell a person that doesn't speak their language well no than actually try and help them.

Lolita wasn't always about being perfect, and while I'm not an anti-bullying person, it bothers me a little that we aren't allowed to experiment without fear of being ostracized by our "friends". I don't own a lot of lolita clothing, not because it's inconvenient or expensive (though it is), but because anytime I've been around a group of lolitas, there's a competitive, petty atmosphere where we're vying to be the alpha loli. It feels stupid and makes me kind of hate going online to see what has recently been released. So I don't associate with Lolita publicly or even use its name, and I just hang out with my normalfag friends who think I'm eclectic. I'm probably a little ita, but I'll never get posted here.

Established healthcare systems might have forms on their website for medical history requests. From there everything can be faxed (or emailed in some cases).

You sound like you've never been job hunting so I'll give you some advice. The hardest thing is getting scheduled for an interview. To increase your chances, fill out an application and ask for manager directly. It may seem weird if you've never tried it before, but it's a pretty common practice so don't sweat it. When you meet them, be congenial and sell yourself as a people person. Smile ALL the time. If they like you, they'll schedule an interview. Have ingratiating answers for all the bullshit questions they have. The questions are just retard filters so don't feel bad if you have to embellish. Some questions might include "how do you handle pressure," "what's your biggest weakness," "why do you want to work HERE," etc. Look them up. Describe the person they want you to be and, again, remember to smile.
