Most of these aren't all that unpopular on /cgl/ but if I spoke them outside of here I'd be hanged. Please excuse me while I unload my excessive amounts of salt.

>the people who complain about OTT sweet as being ageplay most likely can't pull it off and want to ruin it for everyone else who can

>the people who come in and meme again and again about AP looking like taobao are just salty they cant afford it
>if you are super large you should avoid wearing chocolate/doughnut/insert candy prints, why you would invite people to make fun of you like that is beyond me
>F U C K you if you expect me to be wearing wigs to complete a coord. I don't mind wearing them every now and then but I have hair down to my ass and it gives me a headache to wear wigs. my chocolate brown hair in braids or loose with waves shouldn't piss you off

Fucking this. Similar to you I have long hair and it's a pain to wear wigs. Why the fuck do people insist that we have to wear tacky cosplay wigs that match our dresses for our coords to look 'complete' anyway? It's cute when done well but most of the time it's not, and when the standard is wearing wigs it makes lolita stop feeling like a street fashion and more like fancy dress. If you have shitty hair by all means please wear wigs and cover that shit up. But don't come for us that take pride in our hair, insisting that we need to wear wigs to have a complete coord.

Lol I was literally about to come onto this thread to bitch about trapeze dresses. I just don’t understand the appeal of them at all. Also, I was just in an AP shop today and I’m kind of starting to understand where the “AP looks like Taobao” stuff is coming from. Not all of the dresses, but certainly some of them were made out of that same weird screen printed satin that Taobao brands use.

Also, I am not sure whether this is actually an unpopular opinion or not, but I hate old school so much. Just so much. I am happy for those who have been Lolitas a long time getting to see the fashion they loved get a resurgence, though.

My hair reaches my lower back and I never wear wigs, but have also never been told to wear one IRL or online. People only ever compliment my hair as it is. If people are constantly telling you to wear wigs, maybe your hair looks bad? Long does not automatically equal beautiful or healthy; most women I know with very long hair have a good 3-4 inches of split ends that they refute to trim because muh mermaid hair~

Unpopular opinion - lolita communities should be much harsher on kinksters/ddlg/sissies. If anyone knows about it, it's because you're ignoring the fact that we don't want to know to wave "Daddies Cummies" in our faces. Ban every single degenerate. If the community knows about it, it's because you're forcing your kink down our throats, or because you're putting lolita out there as part of your fetish.

If you're getting off on fantasy kiddy diddling, you need therapy, Jesus, and your entire extended family looking disappointed every time you see them. Not frills, gtfo of my happy place with your bullshit, and I warn everyone in my community when I find one. They all treat them differently after.

I look after my hair and it looks great. I also wear other fashions besides lolita and have only gotten compliments on my hair. It’s just the insinuation that a lolita coord is not ‘complete’ without a some brightly coloured extravagant wig that is extremely fucking stupid. They’re not a necessity to lolita the way petticoats or skirt length is, so why are they seen as a given to have a complete outfit? I’m not sure where the obsession with wigs even came from, is it OTT sweet? Idk there’s something just so charming about natural hair coords.

I love old school and it's what got me interested in the fashion more than ten years ago, but I also feel like it's more costumey than most other styles of lolita (aside from OTT anything). When I'm out with the other oldschoolers in my comm and we're rocking bonnets, big rectangle headdresses, Usakumyas, peeking bloomers, UTKs, puffy Michelin man sleeves, platform mary janes etc. I definitely notice more stares and an overall less friendly vibe from people we pass on the street vs. when I'm out with friends wearing more modern classic or even sweet. I think particularly the bonnets, stuffed animals and long bloomers (pic related) make us look much more babyish than other lolita styles and I'm starting to feel a bit uncomfortable dressing like that outside of the house. Unpopular opinion because many girls in my comm consider old school to be the least costumey and most "pure" form of lolita. I still love it and it makes me super nostalgic, but I'm realizing that there a lot of elements I could really do without as I grow older and want to continue being taken seriously.

same anon. I agree 100%. My hair basically can only get to waist length (smallest part) otherwise it gets split ends or looks bad. I dont wear wigs and never got slack from it

Another girl in my comm/mod has hair down past her butt and gets praised for it from some but its so thin and split ended it looks pretty bad, especially because she always wears it as uwuu mermaid hair vs styling it. My hair is thick so i understand its a pain to do an updo and keep it up for more than a few hours...but at least braid it or something time times. I dont think she needs to wear a wig but least trim some of the split ends.

As a photographer there's absolutely nothing wrong with exclusively shooting nothing but the cosfamous and the beautiful. Photography and cosplay are highly visual arts.

I'm also someone with almost butt length hair, and I do think genetics play a really big role. Didn't even realize people did this much with their hair until this thread.

I don't do nearly as much as the other girl - I have straight light blonde hair that's rather thick so I don't straighten or color but I do blowdry, don't take any vitamins, prefer to wash every day but can be fine for up to three days from oil, use whatever shampoo is on markdown (mostly sulfate free I think), hardly use conditioner. Only thing I really do is use leave-in conditioners/serums on days where I have plans to keep it nice, Kloraine dry shampoo is my favorite for days where I don't wash my hair.

I only get cheap $5 bang trims once every two months (other than when I got my triangle bangs cut in the first place, went to my mom's hairdresser) and only get my ends trimmed once a year as they barely split, maybe from how often I brush my hair it just maintains itself somehow.

I wish you luck though! If your hair genetics aren't great hopefully the extra steps do really help, and if there's other people with hair that just keeps nice don't be discouraged. Heck I'd trade my hair genes for face genes in a heartbeat, everyone has something less than desirable about them. Here's to natural hair in J-fash!

In an unpopular opinion to be on topic:
>I think it's really pointless how much people fret about labeling a coordinate gothic or classic, it's a nice outfit in black in lolita styling, who cares
I remember a thread from months and months ago where it was overtaken by people arguing between gothic and sweet + gothic and classic, hotly debating what tiny details made it what. God who cares, do you as a gothic fan feel less gothic because a coord you like has some classic influences? It's just silly to me. I don't think this is something argued about too much but people are way too stubborn with style labels.

I feel you on the gothic thing. I wear pretty much exclusively gothic when I wear lolita, and my other clothes lean towards western goth. I remember there was a thread at some point about straight up kuro coords that are apparently 'dark sweet' because they have a few bows on them.

>less gothic because a coord you like has some classic influences
I've never understood this, like sweet classic is a thing so why does gothic have to be all or nothing? I think there really needs to be more experimentation in gothic lolita in general. Western goth is so broad and even though a lot of it would totally clash with lolita, it'd be cool if we could diversify the style more than just labelling something classic if it has a little bit of brown or sweet if it has a bow on it even though it's primarily gothic.

re: hair, I'm one of the long hair anons and I don't really do much to it. I think it's mostly down to genetics and not damaging it by heat styling, excessive bleaching etc. I redye it black every couple of months but usually don't use any special shampoo or take vitamins. I cut my own bangs every few weeks, and get the ends trimmed once or twice a year so it doesn't get ratty. I wash it once or twice a week (It only starts to get greasy after 4-5 days for me) and braid it overnight to have a curl for a few days, and I curl my bangs under when they get too long but that's about it.

Here's something I never realized until I was older, but my mom always did my hair as a kid and my split ends were so bad. Then as an adult I'm growing out my hair and I realized she was really rough with combing it even though it was braided every day. I do still have split ends, but my hair is a lot thicker now at the ends.

Also don't let your hairdresser add layers. Just have them cut the ends in a v or smile shape. If you keep all of your thickness, it'll look much better when it does get long.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's more about the ends getting damaged and breaking off than your whole head of hair going to shit, so maybe apply some kind of treatment or conditioner to the ends to keep them soft and healthy? Always use heat protectants if you use heat often, but it wont all suddenly turn to shit unless you really fry it. You'll probably be able to tell by how it feels.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I've only ever dyed my hair darker besides my ends when I was 14 so I don't know much about maintaining bleached hair. If you get it bleached at a proper salon with someone that knows what they're doing you should be fine anon, they'll probably give you advice on how to maintain it if you want to grow it long too. I was more referring to people that just throw bleach on their hair and flatiron it every week without understanding why it breaks off and they can't seem to grow it past their shoulders.

>>9740081
>don't let your hairdresser add layers
Seconding this. They're a bitch to grow out if you want long hair. They look good when they're freshly cut to frame your face, but even a few inches too long and they become a pain in the ass. I eventually just gave up and had my hairdresser cut them all to the shortest length so I could start fresh.

If you're black or otherwise have dark skin, cosplaying pale-skinned characters isn't really a good idea (unless you plan to spend an annoying amount of time painting/whitening your skin, or Photoshop yourself pale).
You'll never be accurate to the character, and no one will notice even the most painstaking effort and accuracy you put into the costume. It'll just become "Black [character]", and people outside your race will start pushing all sorts of shitty political opinions onto you, whether it's a positive or negative spin. Most of the praise you'll get will be this super transparent virtue signalling, while the negativity and attacks will really fuck with your psyche and make you feel like shit. The only other side is if you're an attractive thot and you're cosplaying a sexualized character (or sexualizing a character), no one will care about accuracy in the first place and they'll worship your cosplay for the sake of their boners.

I find children and pregnancy to be disgusting fetishes.

You have to have sex to have kids and get pregnant, you don't even have to fuck to be a little. It's so innocent and cute, while having children is selfish and contributing to the destruction of our planet.

Sorry you can't think critically. Children themselves aren't sexual, but their parents certainly are, and wanting a big family is a way grosser fetish than wanting to be innocent and child-like as an adult.

I get that people can spend their money however they want, but still I can't accept the so-called "lolita collectors", the kind that don't intend to wear lolita, but simply hoard it because they can. Unless you're somehow arranging and displaying them properly, it doesn't matter how many Puppet Circuses you have crammed in your closet. Face facts: you're not a collector, you're a hoarder and you need help.
I feel like, if the person doesn't wear the fashion, then this is a very bad case of "lolita at heart" and someone who needs to find a better way to waste their money.

Cars, coins or anime figurines are good example, bc true collectors put actual effort into preserving their collections, any weeb collector would rather kill himself than so much as damage the packaging on his precious rare figure, and I'm sure expensive cars are well looked after, while most of these so-called lolita collectors just stuff their expensive shit in a closet or pile dresses on top of each other (at least the ones I've come across so far).

¶ And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wildernesse: even so must the Sonne of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever beleeveth in him, should not perish, but have eternall life.

17 For God sent not his Sonne into the world to condemne the world: but that the world through him might be saved.

18 ¶ He that beleeveth on him, is not condemned: but hee that beleeveth not, is condemned already, because hee hath not beleeved in the Name of the onely begotten Sonne of God.

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darknesse rather then light, because their deedes were evill.

20 For every one that doeth evill, hateth the light, neither commeth to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

I also bleach my hair (it’s bright purple) and it barely looks damaged. I recommend spending $$$ on nice, salon grade hair products. I also hardly use heat on my hair, but mine is pin straight. I wash my hair twice a week and I always use a leave in conditioner. Also a satin pillow sheet does wonders.

Hair ends tend to get frizzy first before other parts of hair. You can buy off brand olaplex, go to salons for hair treatments, and use coconut oil on your hair ends.

Fucking this. I'm gay myself, but it's not my whole personality and no one would ever know unless they asked. Acceptance is a good thing, but I just can't stand the glorification of all things queer and how everything has somehow to be turned into it, I just want to be able to live life normally without being shunned OR glorified based on who I'm attracted to. Being queer doesn't automatically make someone a good person and thinking that way is just asking for trouble when a rotten apple comes along.
Slightly related but I hate how sexualised all "representation" these days is. In the first place I don't understand people who hype a series based solely on how ~diverse~ the cast is, but even more I hate it when gay characters are portrayed as some physical manifestation of lust like that's the only part that comes with loving someone and these series are then glorified for being sooo progressive and best ever because of muh gay otp.

It’s twofold: on one hand a lot of (sweet) brands make that semi-ruched straps with lace that don’t entirely sit flat and look messy
On the other hand even when they do simply lay as a flat strip a lot of the time it’s jarring to see just a strip of fabric break up the otherwise solid blouse. Maybe thicker straps/straps more proportionate to the dress would help, but at that point you’re drifting into OP territory.

Agree'd

I was on the costuming/safety committee for a high/mid fantasy LARP, with one other person, and it was hell. We had guidelines for costuming, but always had a high/mid/low tier for however much you wanted to invest. We had a huge closet of loaner gear to help people out. We had a huge archive of approved sites to buy shit from, free patterns, and we also did commissions on top of clothing plot/staff. We would go to campsites and look out for immersion breaking shit, and quietly tell the offender to remove it. We even had a couple of storage lockers in the plot cabin in case they didn't want it to go in their cars. Really the only shit we were lax about was glasses, and even them we highly encouraged people to get contacts instead. Not only for immersion, but the last thing you want in a night raid was a ax to your face while wearing glasses. I had to explain to someone that Nike's are not period wear.

We allowed boffers, to an extent, and all weapons had to be inspected upon sign in. I personally had my scalp ripped open by some faggots poorly made boffer that he managed to sneak in. We eventually had to ban home made boffers, calamacil or commission only. To many accidents otherwise. People would always bitch at us about why we wouldn't let their duck tape and PVC dagger through, and they could lick the 4 inch scar on my head and eat a fat dick.

All character builds had to be approved by plot before you could enter the game as that character. And if you fought like shit or role played like shit then git gud. We literally gave these people resources for this. Fighter practices, acting practices, online rp sessions with plot. And somehow the handful of Drizzt wannabe's always found a way to fuck it up for everyone.
