I'm just finding this funny because the fashion was originally for actually sick people. You'd figure there's probably someone who has alopecia, undergoing chemo, or just plain cut their hair short because long hair is too hard to deal with.

Anyway, maybe try a more androgynous approach? Like more of a menhera boy look instead of girly menhera.

I've seen people complaining about glitter makeup in Menhera, but I think it can be really cute (pic related).
Just because some Japanese people don't do it doesn't make it invalid or completely inappropriate to the aesthetic.

The pic is one of the worst examples of glitter makeup I've seen, definitely not "really cute" like you described.

>>9844071
That's just, like, your opinion, man.
I think it looks cute, and it'd probably look a bit more subtle in real life, especially in comparison to the heavier makeup you see in the tag.
I feel like half the people involved in this fashion either wear no makeup, look raggedy as shit and then say "ok well its menhera it's supposed to be casual because i'm mentally ill :///", and the other half overdo it with heavy byojaku or shitty emo eyeliner. Both look a mess.

Hush, I've never heard anyone passing off not wearing makeup with an outfit on mental illness. The 'no makeup' look is appropriate for a casual style. You can get away with a light application.
>>9844069
There is no need to worry about your makeup assuming you feel confident, you'd wear it outside, and it is well applied.

The 'no makeup' look and 'light byojaku' is commonplace, but I could find thick liner with bright lip color, byojaku so heavy that it's MCR territory, and pastel glitter. Nobody should get so hung up on makeup because makeup doesn't make the outfit. >>9844259 doesn't belong in the tag. It's about the clothing... Your hair and makeup is just the icing on the cake.

That's exactly what it is in regards to art. The fashion itself is not complicated, wear a shirt with the kind of art on it and short shorts/skirts and printed tights. this is the most structurally simply fashion that people go out of their way to fuck up somehow, what is there not to get

>> No.9845121

>>9844754
No one said either of those things. But, nurse outfits and a medical aesthetic in general definitely play into Menhera. You can pair a nurse-inspired outfit with guro art, pill accessories, bondage accessories, bandages and printed thigh-highs pretty easily, and it will fit the aesthetic because it's about sickness.
If you disagree, talk about what Menhera actually is instead of harping about what it's not.

It's not really some stretch to understand what Japanese might call "gurokawa" would translate to "soft guro" to the English-speaking side of the internet. It's literally just cute art with dark/grotesque themes, injury, blood, pain, depression etc.
That, and this art is largely drawn by Japanese people, so the content definitely exists, even if it goes by a different name.

Is English your second language or something? Are you schizophrenic? You sound fucking idiotic and desperate to be right on a 4chan thread.
My whole point was that this art was part of the fashion, and you latched onto it "not being called gurokawa", as if anyone gives a fuck. We both know what I was talking about, and because you were proven wrong, you're fixating on semantics. Pathetic.
