Haha, you're funny.

Saw this topic on another thread, and this'll get some gulls Googling:
Resolved: modern lolita's concepts (since 2005 or so) aren't original, but taken from the Daisy Kingdom line of fabrics and patterns for dolls and little girls that have existed in the West since the 1980s. Discuss.

Can't discuss without pics, though theoretically I would say I don't really give a shit.
I'm into lolita because it's cute and it's above age-related limitations - The clothes are expensive and are made to fit young women; they're not children's clothes, they're not made to fit little girls, and in this way they're subversive, basically screaming "I'm a grown woman, I like cute shit and I don't care what you think". And I like it. I don't care if it was inspired by graceful historical maidens, frail, ghostly vampire ladies, straight up idealized little girls, or all of the above. In all honesty, the way I see it, if the mere idea that the fashion was possibly inspired by little girls scares you then it's probably not for you.

In any case it's not "basically for flat chested girls". Off course if you got big tits it's not gonna fit as well, it was intended for japanese girls to wear and they're known to have a different body type than amerilards.

Piggy backing off that one anon in the other thread stating most of cgl is 3/10's.

I don't think that's the case, actually. I think it's more like a bunch of generic look average as fuck bitches who are over compensating by posting anonymously.

There was even a girl who replied to me with a photo of her eyes because she felt like she need to prove that there are "good looking gulls". It was so fucking sad and pathetic.

The majority of people posting in lolita are just fucking sad pathetic whores who need to feel good about themselves and will shit on whoever they can to feel that way.

I bet they get a rush out of it.

So this is the unpopular opinion thread. Just because you don't agree doesn't mean someone is salty or upset. Sorry my words got to you.

I'm well aware that more popular "good looking" girls used to post here but the keywords are "used to".

That is no longer the state of this board.

The fact that you need to retaliate with "ur just salty" tells me you took this personally and that I'm right.

I said you SOUND salty. And not because I disagree with you, but because of your choice of words. In my experience, the people who usually generalize cgl as "pathetic whores", "uptight bitches", "insecure bullies" etc do it after they got posted or otherwise criticised and are salty about the board but can't stop lurking.

Well I wasn't posted, I'm merely an observer and a lolita. Most lolita's know about this place and I'm just speaking my mind as to what I have witnessed on this board.

You though, you can't seem to stop pointing fingers like most do on here.

You sound pretty typical.

Wearing long sleeved blouses under short sleeved OPs looks ridiculous 99% of the time. Not only does it look uncomfortable and stuffy, but it also reminds me of that stupid t-shirt over long sleeved shirt trend that was popular in the 90's. If you're that concerned about ~arms should be covered desu~ then either get an OP with long sleeves or wear a bolero or cardigan or something.

I have zero sympathy for people who cry about not being able to afford attending cons. The con you want to go to is 6 months to a year out in advance. If you can't save up to go to a con and are forced to share a room with strangers while bumming on ramen and pocky then you shouldn't go. I understand cons are getting expensive and some attendees are broke teens and college kids but it isn't that difficult to put aside $50 per paycheck towards your con.

Saving money still applies to this. Depending on where the con is you can catch a train or even ride a megabus if you really want to scrimp on travel (DC to Atlanta via megabus is $25 ATM).

I dislike sissy fetishists as much as the next lolita, but I absolutely love drag queens. In a way I think they're kind of like lolitas in that they represent this excessive, almost caricaturized femininity that has very little to do with actual womanhood, not to mention the fact that both drag queens and lolitas tend to be catty af.

I don't think this is an "unpopular opinion" so much as "not popular enough to warrant high activity" but I wish there was another group or something like dailyalamode was on Lifejournal--somewhere that people could post their lolita-inspired outfits, or non-lolita outfits which incorporate pieces from lolita brands. I think it's been done a couple times before and died every time. I could also see something like this being overrun with "lolitas at heart" who coord their one threadbare pair of AP socks with everything ever, but it's a good idea in my head.

Meh. /cgl/ is toxic. the lolita portion is mostly roleplayers or normies, though, or they make fun of everyone on here but don't have the balls to post themselves in lolita online. Being posted here isn't even that bad, because most of the cgl community is a hivemind. Every other post gets a "sorry you got posted" or something like that. People on here aren't unique so they compensate by being "interested" or even wearing an obscure fashion. I feel like that's proven further by how linear a lot of lolitas are. they copy each other, intentionally or not. Once someone breaks the mold even slightly, they're labelled ita by some newfag roleplayer.
/cgl/ isn't a good reflection of the lolita community, because most of /cgl/ isn't really lolita, or they barely wear the fashion. I will admit there's good parts of this board though. the feels thread is generally positive.

I'm starting to understand conlitas. I used to wear lolita pretty regularly, stopped for awhile, and getting back into it I am just... so damn tired of normie comments. Now when I look at things to buy I end up thinking "what kind of comments will I get? what will the normies think?" I didn't used to care but fuck am I tired. I bought a pink OP I wouldn't have thought twice about before and now I'm just worried about all the little bo peep comments I'm going to get.

right, if people thought it was weird but just left me alone I think I'd be OK.
I'm cynical and don't feel people always are just curious or they are just so hamhanded they end up being insulting without meaning to. A lot of times people will say I like your outfit, and that's nice, but they will follow it up with "what's the occasion?" it's not necessarily rude but like.. what do you care? why can't you just leave it at the nice thing? then they are really thrown for a loop when I say it's just for fun. Sorry I don't have a story about how I'm going to some awesome thing? What do you want?
Those people are not nearly as bad as the "sorry, I have GOT to know what THIS" (wild hand gesture) "is all about!"You don't need to know anything, you're not being nice. Go away. I'm so tired.
The area I am in has a lot of drug addicts and I feel it gives them even more fuel to approach you. As far as the normies, the area I am in is known for people being odd in public so i thought before I moved here the normies would be more used to seeing weird people and less stupid about it, but they're not.

Anon is asking why lolitas get defensive when asked why we're dressed like children, given this "evidence". I think it's possible that not many girls are aware of the similarities, but even if they are, I can't blame people for being uncomfortable with the implication of being lumped with fetishists, or being blamed for infantilizing themselves. Though, as I understand, the latter is sort of what the original Japanese lolitas were aiming for - Maybe not straight up infantilize themselves but to look as cute and as "useless" as possible, to radiate a feeling of "I'll never be your wife, I care about nothing other than myself and my frilly clothes" as a form of rebellion. In the west it's given a different meaning ("Is this a sex thing? Are you trying to attract pedophiles?" etc.) which makes girls uncomfortable, so again I can't blame them for denying any ties to that.

I feel this, in a way. I wear lolita regularly so I'm as far from a conlita as possible, and on days when I feel low on shit to give to strangers, I just wear my most "tame" black pieces. I still stand out and people still stare but not as much as they do when I'm wearing sax or pink.
Maybe you can try that? You don't have to abandon lolita completely unless you feel unsafe to wear it, sometimes toning it down (if only by picking a different color to wear) is enough.

Im really tired of this newb-driven idea that lolita is a big deal to the point they ‘come out’ to their families as liking it. To be fair theyre normally minors and minors dont belong in the fashion. Anyone who doesnt have a steady income doesnt belong in the fashion. The only reason these kids ‘come out’ is because they need mommys money to buy shit. Why cant it be like it always has been where you just fucking buy a dress and wear it?

Honestly where I live it doesn't matter if you make it more "tame" or "low key." I don't wear OTT, usually just a JSK and a cardigan, but people basically stop you if you're wearing anything other than jeans or leggings (a little bit of an exaggeration, but not by much).

lmao what the fuck are kids doing these days? This is an unpopular opinion?
I actually understand telling parents about it, as long as it's done right, because parents tend to worry when their kids get involved in things that are considered "unusual" like alt fashion. Talking to them about what the fashion is and why they like it may elevate some concerns the parents might have about it. But there's no reason to "come out" as liking lolita, that's absurd. It can be a significant part of one's life, if one is deeply involved in it, but generally speaking it's not an inherent part of one's identity like sexuality or gender.
>also if youre so thin skinned youre scared of judgement while wearing lolita, it isnt for you either.
Agreed, at least to some degree. If judgment or fear of it stops you from wearing the fashion then you're better off just appreciating it from the sidelines, don't get involved in something if it doesn't make you happy.

Piggybacking off of this, I've noticed this is a thing with grown men and women in cosplay. I know far too many adults who are afraid to "come out" to their families about cosplay and it's the silliest thing. They're afraid of their families thinking they're some kind of sexual deviant or weirdo, but I feel like trying to be on the dl about it would be more telling. It's just nerd shit and if you're an adult it shouldn't be difficult for you to explain that you like costuming. What's your mom going to do, take away your sewing machine? If it's just the fear of being labeled weird, it's not that big a deal. They might tease for a bit, but ultimately don't care. I don't understand it. I hope cosplay becomes actually mainstream so we can move past this.

Ayrt, with the exception of a few good brolitas I've seen only online, they never do it justice. Also, it's less about the men and trans women themselves (still a minority) and more about the people that support their inclusion and discuss gender politics constantly (a definite majority).

I don't know about other comms, but mine unfortunately has a lot of people who feel the need to bring those topics up every single meet, without fail. It doesn't help that our mods also push unconditional inclusivity and are too chickenshit to do anything about obvious creeps and sissies, even when confronted directly about the issue.

Attending meets does take time and effort, and I just want that to not be wasted on idiots who won't shut the fuck up and stop pushing their ideology on everyone. They can continue their bullshit elsewhere, I just want a comm where I can finally get some peace and actually focus on the fashion and not on unsuccessfully trying to tune out libfem virtue signaling.

>young girls claiming to wear fairy kei or lolita or gothic clothes each day, but they're just normies.
I think that's code for "I wear pastels/all black sometimes".
Unfortunately, people think that because fairy kei wasn't clearly defined by the western comm like lolita, that means it's ~*anything they want it to be*~ and that it ~*has no rules*~, so if they wear some pastel t-shirt with a knockoff star clip in their hair then it's fairy kei and no one can tell them otherwise.
There's a similar notion to goth among young people; while the fashion styles associated with it aren't as strict or defined, people often don't realize that it's a music-based subculture and that they're not goths unless they listen to the music. God forbid you mention this though because then you're elitist; just like pointing out to lolitas at heart that they have to wear the fashion to be lolitas, also gets you labeled elitist.
The absolute state of subcultures.

The only thing I would mis if AP goes is the mentions of releases in last week's lolita news, simply because I don't wear sweet. I think BTSSB would be most noticeable, not only is it the most known brand, they also gather to almost any style, not mainly sweet.

The most important really depends on it. During lolitas history, multiple have been important and made significant changes. Importance isn't the same as noticeable, so looking only at what would happen if a brand goes broke is quite shortsighted.

This. People don't seem to understand cultures and get mad when they're told they're not part of it. It's not just the clothes, it's about the whole package.

Contrary to the goth problem, I get annoyed at people calling themselves metalheads because they listen to a metal and every now and then. Metalhead is a name for people within the subculture, and as the word culture implies, that includes certain norms and values.

I don't mind people labeling things. I like it to. But I wish people would care about labeling it right instead of changing the labels so they can use the one they like.

Little side note. Embracing being an elitist helps to keep them out of events and such. We never see this people at events and even on the street they stay out of our way, most don't even come to our cafe's anymore. All because they don't want to come to a place full of "mean elitist". We don't mind being hated by idiots, in the end we got what we want, we're left alone by them. Only online it's harder to get rid of it, but they're easy to spot just look at who can't distinguish open-minded from "you-need-to-love-and-be-nice-to-anything-and-anyone".

This is the exact thing I do.

I make fun of shitty normie music and I used to run a show house so I used to get harassed by some of the girls in the "community" for making them feel "unwelcome". I never made fun of them, and I accept that music taste is subjective and listen to bad artists myself, so it was like washing my house and hands of petty, fake music girls who go to shows to get scene cred.

On the same but different note, I'm thouroughly annoyed at all these girls screaming about how "AGGRETSUKO IS MEEEE" but they've never tried metal vox in their life. As someone who practices their vocals and wishes more than anything to have a metal band it's a huge insult and makes it seem like I'm just another one of those "uguuu uwu retsuko is meeeeeee~" people.

I'm actually firmly of the opinion that lolitas aren't nearly "mean" enough, for this exact reason. Maybe this is my own unpopular opinion.
I recall some comment on Rufflechat I believe, where this girl said that her "sissy friends" were afraid to join the lolita community because of how "intolerant" it is. Fucking GOOD, not sure why this is at all a bad thing (probably because op wasn't a lolita herself), and I imagine they're too afraid to join based on reputation alone; in actuality most lolita comms are too inclusive, to the point of putting girls in danger, and many lolitas are practically doormats desperate to accept everyone and anyone and terrified of the very notion of being accused of being a bully, elitist, transphobe, etc.
If we were actually mean to people who deserve it, maybe more of these undesirables stayed out.
>inb4 hurr who decides who deserves it??
Obviously I mean sissies and similar fetishists, guys who join the community for the sole reason of finding a qt lolita gf, lolitas at heart, and so on. It's not difficult to figure out who doesn't belong in our communities.

Why are you so triggered over AP replacing baby as the most popular brand? And if you're saying you know better than the designers of a brand as to when they were established you are probably delusional. Like the other anon pointed out, angelic pretty has included "established 1979" in some of their prints like cream cookie collection. But again, you're just going to reeee about baby no longer being the most well known brand. It's not like AP has been more popular/well known for a brief moment either, I'd argue since 2011 or so they've been more popular.

You didn't name a single source and everything you said was based on subjective opinion, not facts. AP mentioning "established 1979" in their prints doesn't exclude the fact that Pretty was more than one brand. They started doing their own lolita centric thing with the name switch. Their brand history was mentioned several times in GLB (one of the earlier ones and then the ones on the 10th(?) glb anniversary), Kera Maniax, regular Kera and even some early blog websites if I remember correctly.

I whole hearted agree. I remember seeing a video from a Angela Benedict about the word poser in goth culture and how people got too inclusive nowadays. We still use it in the metalscene today, and I'm glad for it. I believe our attitude together with staying underground is why where still having an active community and subculture. If its true what I hear about the gothic one then it's so full of posers that actual gothic seems to go towards being extinct. Even as a metalhead I think that's sad, wish it would stay.

I just remember. Some meets ago I talked to a goth/"goth". She asked if I was a goth myself. Told her I wouldn't call myself that because I don't even know enough about the culture to know I agree/would fit in with it and I don't listen to the music. Got the weirdest look I saw in a long time, like I talked some gibberish. As a metalhead I never realised before how this could have been a weird answer, and I answered the question many times because normies mistake black metal fans for goths...
>normies generally are like "cool. I can't really tell the difference as normie, but I get what you say". How can normies comprehend this better than people who pose being a goth?

Also, who decides is simple. The general culture. If you don't fit in, you'll notice and won't have a pleasant time anyways, so you'll leave. If you do fit in, you can stay. Works like that in any self regulating subculture. Works greatly.

>now I kinda want to find a place where we can go talk with metalheads, goths, and other alternative cultures like that. Normally I only meet bikers because we metalheads have more in common. Anyone know a site not full of posers? Either mixed cultures or gothic that doesn't mind others to join.

No. Any non lolita, non sissy will learn about BTSSB first because they have marketed outside of the fashion much more, appearing in many lolita/weird Japanese stuff things advertised to normies.

For many it'll also be the first brand they learn about.

Lolitas will know both.

Perhaps with sissies it's most known, but I like to believe they are far from the majority of humanity.

BTSSB has been huge in marketing, popularising and selling lolita. I don't know how AP would be more influencial to the fashion. How much did they actually do for the sake of lolita fashion beside creating the pastel vomit sweet trend? They haven't been great revolutionary influence other than that.

Only these are posted by me. Others are other anon. I would make screenshot showing only those have (You) but I'm on phone.

I don't wear sweet. But my main point wasn't what is most known now. It's that they called it the most important brand, and importance isn't just measured by "most known/biggest" in current times. And even biggest/most known is arguable. Age also is no indication on its own, as many brands can go on for long an stay small.

Important isn't definable by one thing in general. Take all in accountancy (in which I say BTSSB has been most important) or define better.

as an ex-metalhead I admire the community for keeping it "pure". When communities get too inclusive and open up for mainstream audiences it's bound to head for a disaster and deteriorate into an unrecognizable mess with normies and bandwagon hoppers calling the shots.

The vast majority of girls who cosplay just do it because they want attention and they want people to tell them how good they look.
This is why so many cosplay girls end up spamming their instagram pages with lewd images. It's to get over their self esteem issues.
The vast majority of blokes who cosplay just want to find a cute girl who's into the same stuff as them(anime and video games) who are also into cosplay so that they can have hot cosplay sex. Yes even the fat ones.

TERFs are retarded, have fun with your "lesbian erasure" friends

All normies think lolitas look weird and can't tell the ageplayers/sissies and "respectable lolita community ^tm" apart from each other. You're all the same and will always look the same no matter what you try to do, it's a losing battle.

Lolita is becoming a dead fashion and is being replaced by other fashion. It's old news and outdated.

Most lolitas are DDLG.

Tons of you are awkward and can barely hold a conversation IRL. You're so talkative online but the second I meet you IRL? Dead silent.

Cosplay skills and coord skills on here are mediocre. For how much cgl "hates" fatties and whales, lots of people on here are fatties.

Like someone else said, it isn't that big of a deal to be posted on cgl. I've never responded to a single bad make-up or ita thread and I have forgotten the pictures that aren't in the current thread. It's the same for the vast majority of people. Freaking out on your SM will make people remember you, like the Jessica Rabbit bitch.

OT but threads usually become political anyway. Conservafags are just as bad as libtards, and are /unbearably/ edgy.

Factually incorrect. As in, from my personal experience wearing lolita on the regular, the overwhelming majority of responses are positive and not once have I or any of my friends been questioned as to whether it's a "sex thing"; in fact, most people who approach me associate my clothes with Alice in Wonderland or Victorian fashion even before I say anything in relation to either of these things.
Sure, some normies are retarded but saying that "all" of them are and that "all" lolitas look like sissies/ageplayers to them is hilariously out of touch.

>Most lolitas are DDLG
Also factually incorrect. If that were true then that would make the fashion is or has turned into fetish fodder - Do we have more fetishists in our community these days than we should? Unfortunately, yes. Does that mean that most girls into lolita are fetishists? No. Not unless you're shitposting and trying to get a reaction of course, in which case congrats, you got me to bite.

I agree with all of this. Obviously we shouldn’t be mean to newbies who are willing to learn, but I’m tired of people trying to bully us into being doormats. Some of my comm’s mods are more concerned with what non-lolitas *might* think of us than whether actual lolitas feel safe and happy in our own community. My friend was scolded by a mod for politely telling a newbie/cosplayer that maid is not a lolita substyle and that the majority of anime “lolitas” aren’t accurate representations of the fashion. She was told that this might make the cosplayer feel unwelcome and make the community look elitist. If being given accurate information about the fashion makes someone feel unwelcome then maybe they aren’t really interested in the fashion and maybe don’t belong the group in the first place? Clear up the misunderstanding and send them on to a community more relevant to their interests. But no, that’s elitist!!1 Better to have no standards whatsoever and bend to the whims of every uninformed person who stumbles into our group and expects to be fawned over because lolitas r suppose 2 b lovlies and lolita is whatever you want it to be uwuwuwu

At least they’ve started trying just a tiny bit harder to keep sissies and fetishists out. But even then any sissy who takes fifteen minutes to read our FAQ and google a few of the brands is let in on good faith.

Thirded. Lolitas in my area have a reputation for being overdramatic elitist bitches despite honestly being the nicest and most accepting group of people I’ve ever been a part of. There is occasional drama but it’s nothing in comparison to the twofaced petty bullshit I see at uni and work on a daily basis, let alone in the local convention scene. It really pisses me off to see the local cosplay community talk shit about each other constantly for wearing a cosplay twice in a row or being the wrong race or too fat or too ugly for a character, but then turn around and go “oh yeah lolitas? elitist cunts, everyone knows that”. Our region’s thread is 90% cosplay/convention/photographer drama and shit talking, but lolitas are the only ones who get boo’d out of the thread for causing drama.
When a friend-of-a-friend who’s into cosplay and steampunk found out that I wear lolita she was surprised, because she thought I was nice and lolitas are supposed to be snooty bitches. I asked her if she’s ever actually met someone who wears lolita fashion and she admitted that she hadn’t, she was just going off what other people had told her. Then about a year later she tagged along with me to a mini-meetup at an event, where she was wearing steampunk. All the girls were happy to chat with her even though she wasn’t wearing lolita, she got several compliments on her steampunk outfit and she had a nice conversation with one girl about sewing pleather. On the way home she complained to me that she didn’t like the girls and felt like they were looking down on her. I honestly don’t get it. It’s like as soon as we buy our first lolita dress we get “snobby bitch” stamped onto our forehead and that’s all people see no matter how friendly and welcoming we actually are. It feels like a lost cause and I’m about ready to stop trying.

Idk how to tell you this but I think your friend is genuinely retarded.
In all seriousness, it's possible she felt that way because she expected them to be snobs, so she interpreted their attitudes as condescending rather than friendly; kinda like how some newbs expect to be yelled at for not wearing/not being able to afford brand/asking questions/expressing opinions, and immediately lash out and cry elitism at the first comment that isn't completely sprinkled with emojis and sugarcoated to the point of tooth decay.
If your other friends are equally close minded like steampunk friend then I think it's a lost cause, I don't see a point in wasting your breath on trying to convince them otherwise. Sorry, anon.

Either we try really hard to win these people over and they'll either think we're being fake or walk all over us, or we accept the reputation we have and people will keep thinking we're all elitist bullies. I guess I'm lucky that most of my friends and acquaintances aren't into weeb culture and won't come into contact with these preconceptions.

Why make fun of other people's music taste? I don't like normies music either, but I have better things to do than that. Especially since you realise music taste is subjective. Heck, we even often say our music isn't for everyone, especially black. But still we like it when we get some respect for liking it while others don't instead of getting hate. Doesn't always happen, but we tend to like it.

Same counts for being annoyed at people relating to a cartoon. Doesn't matter if it are people posing as metalheads or people who relate to having to hide their hobbies/personalities from normies. Even posers never hurted the metal community because even tho they exist, we keep them out. There is a reason you generally don't see them at our cafés and events while there is a reasonable number of them. Them buying CDs of commercialised "look at me being metal" bands and sell outs hasn't stopped underground music either. Tons of good releases this year. So why not instead of getting all annoyed at a group of people you don't like, focus at things you do like?

Learning to grunt doesn't make you any more or less metal. Many good bands use clear vocals. Many poser bands grunt. Altrough typical and common, it's not like you can't be a metal musician, let alone a metalhead in general, without it.

I rarely see woman at shows, and generally we have two types. Sluts who basically act like free hoes because they want a sexy tough metal or biker guy, or actual female metalheads. The fact you talk about woman going to shows for credit on being a metalhead is kinda rare. They tend to go only to well know or poser bands, because they can't tell the difference and don't follow non commercialised music enough to know who's good and who plays when.

If you wanted a metal band so bad you would have started one long ago. There are so much great one person bands. And if music is good, no one cares if it's a studio quality sound, or a cassette recorded in a bathtub.

Honestly, your comment sounds a bit "look at me being all metal and so much better than them". But you sound just as shortsighted as many normies, which is one of the things metalheads normally dislike. In general, your whole attitude and the things you say make me doubt how much of a metalhead you are, but one comment is a very rough view of how a person is. So I'm gonna leave it at that, just know that that's how you sound.

It does feel like a losing battle, and I don't think it's a battle we should be involved in at all:
For one, we shouldn't stumble over ourselves to win people over or change their minds, whether newbies or outsiders - If someone has a preconceived notion of us that we're snobs/elitists/ageplayers or what have you, they might not necessarily change their view if we explained ourselves to them. And in that case, why bother at all?
Lolita is alternative fashion after all, it's self indulgent but at the same time it does challenge society, even on a small scale. People aren't supposed to understand us in the first place, this fashion is not for them and we don't need anyone's validation or approval. People who "get" us, or are at least willing to understand us better, are generally open minded and don't need to be "convinced" of anything; those who aren't, are not worth dealing with.

Second, we shouldn't be putting our comms in danger to put up a front of "acceptance" and "inclusiveness". We should not be compromising our safety or the integrity of our subculture so people don't call us bullies, and this goes for both people who wear garbage, call it lolita and refuse to be corrected, and for those who hide under the trans label when in actuality they want our company so they can jack off on us.

That doesn't mean we have to be mean to everyone, but the stigma around "gatekeeping" isn't justified and I genuinely think we should reject it altogether and stop being afraid to stand up for ourselves.

Nayrt but it also had a relative sense of anonymity; not entirely because you still had your username but at least it wasn't your real name like on FB. It was also much easier to discuss things and "archive" them, unlike other platforms that aren't really used or even made for discussions; and there was a note feature that allowed you to add a comment next to people's usernames without their knowledge; afaik some people did this to "mark" people in the community with questionable behaviors.
LJ had and still does have issues, it's clunky to use and very far from flawless, but imo I prefer it to FB.

Being able to see and edit posts decently, chronological order, control over who has posting access, putting multiple videos and images in a post or comment, anonymous posting without ip tracking, viewing private messages on mobile without downloading two apps, adding private notes to usernames so you know who you like and who you want to avoid, a useful sidebar

We had them occasionally but they were always permabanned immediately, and caps of their hilarious posts would get posted elsewhere (like getoffegl) for us to laugh at. Nowadays it seems like sissies and ageplayers aren't called out and gotten rid of nearly as easily so many of them are left alone to interact with us and use us as fetish fuel, as if the community in general became retarded at some point.

I don't think it should be fair game to post just anything tagged "lolita" to the ita thread. There are plenty of outfits that get posted where the consistent feedback is "oh this is a cute normie/general jfash outfit" or "this obviously isn't lolita; it looks fine but it's not lolita"

like i think something *has* to be trying for lolita, and *has* to fail to look good. i go to ita threads to cringe, not to see cute non-lolita outfits that were mistagged

Because it's treated as if it's dirty or shameful by idiot Westerners.

Personal anecdote time: a very angry woman tailed me for a little while asking me why I was "enabling pedophiles," never once realizing that pedophiles aren't attracted to fully grown women, and I was even wearing toned-down gothic, not sweet. People are stupid and like to lash out at ~weirdos~.

sounds like you haven't been to many ita threads lately if this is the conclusion you drew

it's 50% or more just nitpicks (pinks don't match, plain tights reeeeeeee, bad photography), 10% vendetta, 10% cute outfits that aren't lolita, 30% actual itas. pretty much the only place you can find true itas anymore is amino

See, I actually have the opposite reaction. If someone isn’t trying for lolita and yet puts the lolita tag on their photos, then either (a) they’re a stupid idiot who, in this era of more lolita resources than ever, still hasn’t figured out what lolita is and isn’t, so they’re pretty cringe in that they’re genuinely actual stupid idiots.

Or (b), it’s a fame-hungry attentionslut so desperately hungry for attention of any sort that they’ll spam any and every tag in hopes that people will look at them. I mean, how bad is it that you gotta insert yourself into every group, every tag, every alt fash you can think of so that people can’t help but have your photo shoved at them so that they can roll their eyes at you and scroll on to the next photo, that level of desperation has to be its own kind of cringe.

I honestly wish people would stop excusing these photos with “it’s cute but not lolita”. So long as a non-lolita outfit is tagged with the lolita tag, then either this person is a lazy stupid idiot, or it’s a fame-hungry attentionwhore. Both are pretty cringe, and I wish people would recognise that instead of excusing it with “it’s not lolita”. It’s the behaviour of putting the tag on a nonlolita outfit that makes it cringeworthy.
