Dumb comments from normies

Why the fuck are you walking around in town in cosplay? I’d give you weird comments and looks too. Its like those kids who go to walmart in full cosplay but arent at a con, or people who ‘closet cosplay’ to class. Fucking cringey, mate.

[Anonymous No.9964815]

I’m lucky I live in an area that seems to be... I guess accepting of this sort of thing? Maybe not accepting but rather the normies are more curious than they are anything else and it’s typically in a good way. My girls and I usually get asked if we make our own dresses and/or if there’s a special occasion for such dress, like a party or similar. It helps that we have a large majority of old people so they find it pretty fascinating and endearing.

However... in our other biggest city it’s not so much the same. We get a lot of nasty, gawking looks due to a younger crowd there. The worst I’ve heard asked was is we were part of a kink community or were age regressing.

But to actually contribute, my friends and I were at a con a number of years back and some religious protesters were stationed out front of the con center. I was cosplaying a troll from homestuck and they started pointing at me and calling me the devil.

>are you in a play?
>oh, you must have a bridal shower right?
>why are you dressed like that?
>hey barbie!
>touching because I'm so cute
>changing seat in a train because I sat on the opposite seat
I hate dumb comments like these. I just don't get how it affects to them at all even if I was in a play or having a bridal shower. Noone goes around asking stupid shit from fairly normal looking people. Somehow hurry is something these people can't understand at all. Nor why would I want to finish my meal or whatever in a peace. Also people staring me as I walk by, making sure I'm on a distance I can't comment back on them and then yelling something like "what the fuck". It's almost like these (no females have done this to me) dudes are afraid of my frilly dresses which I find extremely amusing. My most recent incident was super odd though:
>waiting a bus
>quite drunk couple appears and they start discussing my clothes, mainly trying to figure out what's the occasion
>the conclusion they came into is a bridal shower
>bus comes and they get into the same bus
>after a while the woman realises who I am
>a voice of winner of my country
>starts to wonder what I'm doing there and how I got there
>I have to be dressed to funny because showing off is my thing
>the couple leaves at the same stop
>they don't apparently see anything odd in me wandering on the outskirts of the city, only how I got in the citycenter
Another story that cames to my mind is when I was 17 or just 18 and walking in the middle of the day past a few strip clubs and sex shops. One elder man was renovating a sign above a sex shop and yelled "hey little red riding hood"! I wasn't dressed like it at all and I remember how uncomfortable it made me.

It looks like a fucking costume and you cannot deny that. You're not in Harajuku. I live in a big city where subculture fashion isn't a freak show, but if I went out in hick town Mississippi or Tennessee it wouldn't be considered fashion even though it is. It'd be a spectacle to ridicule or be confused by.

I once had someone staring so hard (and making a nasty face) that when they walked by me they walked straight into people eating lunch at a cafe table. I was wearing what would appear to be street clothes to the untrained eye, along with a natural colored (but styled) wig and natural contacts. It was pretty funny watching that woman trying to apologize for walking into those people.

Alternative fashion is well accepted and understood in Harajuko

What you wear is perceived differently by those around you depending on context is the basic point i guess, not that peoples perception changes what you wear.

You might be wearing alternative fashion, but what people around you might think is that you're some sexual deviant and to some people the idea of being judged that way is off-putting to the fashion.

I'm thinking we might be talking past each-other, this really isn't an uncommon line of reasoning here and I'm sure you've seen it before.

>>9965193
I think you're missing the point. >>9964835 claimed that lolitas are equal to cosplayers because we wear our frills out in public, but it's not the same thing because lolita is inherently a fashion unlike cosplay which is inherently a costume, regardless of what the average joe might think. It's a false equivalence; you can say that lolita looks like a costume to many normies and you might be right but that doesn't change the fact that it's a fashion. Some normies think that everything out of the norm is a costume, does this suddenly mean that all alternative subcultures are invalid because normies are retarded?

I'm a lolita too but i cringe whenever i see girls like you whining way too much about normie commentary. Also if you went on a tv show and dress that outlandish,chances are you definitely will be taken for an attention seeker.

Wheter we like it or not,to the average eye we look silly (or even crazy). Boring normies cannot comprehend why anyone would not want to submit to their basic boring fashion standards,and some boys/girls are so insecure they have to be cunts to you to feel better about themselves and because they're jelly they don't have our confidence.

Also anyone wearing OTT brought the "is this a costume" comment upon themselves. For some reason it's always the OTT conlitas/attention whores whining the hardest for some reason.

I haven't been on a tv show. That was the point and I'm sorry it was unclear. I know I dress outlandish and I'm okay with people staring at me but what I'm not okay is people pushing their own insecurities on me in public. I'm a daily lolita so I wear pretty towned down shit so while I don't get these comments that often I don't always have time to explain these things to strangers and I don't really have to. That's how I deal with it, keep just doing my thing. I'm also from a culture where it's extremely rare to approach strangers so that might be an extra reason it makes me uncomfortable? Idk why getting pissy of people touching you and taking pics is more acceptable than getting pissy about people being verbally jerks.

I personally think I dress in very "normie sense" as in it's something Japanese normie women would wear: dresses, skirts, heels etc. Maybe a little bit 50's housewife-esque, I don't own any pants aside running gear because I find skirts more comfortable. Yet I constantly get comments from normies how I'm dressed "fancy" or something like that. American casual style is so casual these days that anything else than yoga pants is considered "too fancy".

You obviously don't wear lolita, so I'm not sure why I'm replying to this but...
not a lot of people are complaining about side glances. People in this thread are talking about instances when they've been almost harassed or treated like shit by normies. Sure, you have to expect people will stare when you dress different, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't hold people who stop treating us like people when we wear lolita accountable. If taking pictures of people without permission isn't okay when you're dressed normal, why is it suddenly okay when we wear lolita? If getting heckled on the street or yelled at by aggressive people isn't acceptable when people wear normie clothes, why is it okay just because someones different? This is a thread to vent about bad experiences, sure not all of them are super serious, but the bad things people say can stick with you. You can go on about "having a thick skin" but no matter how tough you are, the people that take pictures of you or yell at you or just treat you as subhuman because of a dress are still assholes.

“Are you in a play?”

Also the most dumbest thing ever is when normies hang around a group of Lolita’s for awhile, anxiously waiting for something to happen. Then nothing happens, so they will send someone to ask when we will start. Start with what?!
And even when you are looking very confused and ask what they are talking about, they will just continue like. “Yeah with your act!” ‘Which act?’ “You are going to perform, right?” ‘Uh, no?...’ “Then why are you here?” ‘To hang around and chat with my friends...’ “I hang around with my friends too but not dressed like that.” Really, you don’t dress in Lolita when you hang around with your friends?

I guess I'm used to really slim professional silhouettes so it jars with me a lot. On second look you're right, and Idk why I thought the coat was baggy (teaches me to not judge people while I'm hangry).

I agree though, this is one of the more depressing subreddits I've been to. Just a load of women thinking they're fashionable and the most creative they can get is ditching a monochrome baggy silhouette for maybe a hint of brown or subdued color. The 'normie witch' thread pained me.

I usually do Metal Gear cosplay, and my buddy and I went to a convention at a local mall. He was in line for a pretzel, and I was hanging back, in my full PW Big Boss outfit; Tiger BDUs, eyepatch, bandana, whole nine yards. Then some 50+ year-old woman came up to me
>Would you die for that uniform?
>Excuse me?
>Would you go to another country, and fight, and DIE, for that uniform?
>Miss, this is just BDUs, not a uniform, and this is all 'Nam-era gear, so I wouldn't really have had much of a choice, sooooo
>You make me sick

Then she storms off in a huff.
2 fucking minutes later, 70+ year-old dude wearing a USMC Vietnam Vet hat walks by. We make eye-contact, I give him a little salute and say "Semper Fi, sir." He smiles, salutes back, and says "Hoo-rah, devil dog."

People are weird.

That's a terrible idea, just learn it online or something.

Lolitas are just dressed up people, when you see someone dressed up generally they have an event to attend, places to be, people to meet, things that need to get done. They aren't going to welcome you pinning them down so you can shoot newbie questions at them, no matter how polite and how nice you are.

The ones that dress up for no reason and do stop for you, willingly spend hours talking to you, a completely random stranger, that wants to know "what lolita is all about" -- those tend to be the slightly insane special snowflakes who want the attention. Hit that up at your own risk, anon.

I'd agree with all the points you made except for these. It's entirely possible to dress up for no real reason and be willing to stop for genuinely curious strangers (obviously not for hours) and not be "slightly insane". Fashion is fun, anon, it's not restricted to events and meetups.

i mean, i'm totally fine to tell a handful of people "it's a street fashion from japan, i wear it for fun" but when you're out for a few hours and you get stopped every 15 minutes, it gets really, really trying. if you have the means to get your knowledge online, please do it that way! but if you see one of us IRL, definitely say something like "i love your coordinate!" or "a lolita! i've only ever seen photos of lolitas online!" it might make our day; it's so rare that people actually know what we are and i'm personally *more* likely to stop and chat with you if you show you have rudimentary knowledge of lolita than if you just ask me what i'm all dressed up for.

>Is it really?
It is, or at least that's its origins. You wouldn't know that based on online opinions of people who are afraid to wear it daily but it is, and some of us do wear it regularly or semi-regularly.
There are disagreements on whether it's common to see these days or not and what the reasons for that may be (some claim to have seen no lolitas at all in Tokyo, other say they do and regularly so); I think the general consensus is that the influx of gaijin tourists coming in to Harajuku to gawk and take photos like they're in a safari made the alt fashion kids migrate to other places like Shibuya and Osaka, and you're more likely to see them on the weekend than on a regular weekday. Depending on where and when you went around these places, those might be the reasons you've seen none.

It's not all events and meetups. Even if you're just out of the house running errands or meeting non-lolita friends for bubble tea on the weekend it can still get annoying to get stopped by some stranger who wants to do an impromptu Lolita101 panel right in the middle of the street when you have to catch a train or a bus to wherever the post office is (or whatever you're doing).

This! I was out today and a girl said to me as we waited to cross the street, "I like your outfit, it's gothic lolita right?" It's so nice to encounter people who are aware of the fashion and genuinely are trying to compliment you.

To add to the "stupid things normies say" list, I was at a con in gothic once and a middle aged white woman with her family snarked to me as I walked on the street, "Whose funeral is it?" which was, 1) not original at all, but also 2) you're at a fucking convention, there's furries and naked anime girls and you're trying to come for ME?

Sounds like a miscommunication, then.

That actually explains a tad bit, but considering how few other tourists I saw I wouldn't sum it up to that entirely.

>"Snow White,wait,no,Elsa!!" when wearing mint and pink and i'm neither black or blonde
>"But you're dressed like a little girl,you " coming from my own retard of a brother (he's a dudebro douche) which is probably the worst insult to me, even more than "you're wearing a costume", especially since i avoid overly childish sweet and things like pigtails


And off course the classic
"is this a bachelorette party? xD" "is this halloween?" "why are you dressed like that??"

I sew and practically every time I wear something out of the norm, someone asks if I made it. This includes purses, shoes and parasols.
The people who think it would be easy and cheap to make something like a lolita dress are always people with rudimentary sewing experience who aren't knowledgeable enough to realize how much they don't know, like sorority girls who made a "sexy ghost" costume out of a sheet for a halloween party once and now consider themselves expert seamstresses. They're annoying as fuck. Sure a lolita rectangle skirt is easier to make than a tailored normie blazer or something, but the people who insist on how easy it is aren't actually capable of either.

I wear primarily fairy kei and spank kei, though sometimes I do like to wear larme.

I wear my stuff despite their comments, but I admit it gets tiring to hear discouragement whenever I want to dress the way I want to. My mom buys me clothing every so often in an attempt to get me to dress more normie and in more tight-fitted things (think more conservative clothing that moms in their 30s would wear. I'm 20).

I think when civilians dress in military uniforms it’s cringy as fuck because it means you guys were too weak to join the actual military, so all you guys can handle is “make believe/pretend”.
But my thoughts aside, I can see why other military people would be angry seeing you guys, because wearing all the gear for 12 hrs a day, sometimes in the desert- fucking SUCKS. It gets so sweaty and gross and deployment is no joke (not really hard, but mentally hard in the aspect as you just do dumbshit for 13hrs a day and don’t see you families for 7-12 months)
So to see you guys just laughing and giggling playing with your fake guns does get a little nerve grating, because at the end of the three hour play time, you guys get to take the uniform off and get back into your normal clothes.
Just a thought, but I can almost gurentee this is what we’re thinking 100% of the time.

Some normies turn into retards when faced with something out of the ordinary. Not sure why that is, might be an issue with impulse control, but at least the decent ones are immediately ashamed of themselves the moment you point out that their behavior is out of line.

I have an old story but I guess it fits here. Let me start by saying that I have hair issues - alopecia that also involves bumps and scars - so I regularly wear wigs and but never had any issues before. People might have looked but they usually didn't say anything if they noticed. Anyway.

>spy his parents and the folks close enough to hear not saying anything and decide to commit to the tears
>start full on bawling loudly to draw attention
>friend runs over and puts on her best viet accent
>Hey, her hair leave from chemo how dare you?!
>little shits' smirks disappear immediately and they start mumbling sorrys
>Oh mi gosh where your parents? You so rude! Who raise you?!
>folks starting to look and giving the judging glare so his parents come rushing over to collect them
>they try to offer apologies and whatnot but we just head towards the door
>hear mom start making excuses for her brood pestering foreign exchange students on the way out

I felt a bit cringe after it all but fuck it. In what world is it okay to just put your grubby hands on someone? If it wasn't a wig, what was your goal in pulling some girl's hair? Maybe a bit of public embarrassment will curb that bullshitery enough not to do that to anyone else. I do wish I could have maced the tosser.

My mom has always been bashing my clothing choices bc I don't dress like she wants. Once when I was like on 4th grade so 10-11 years old she refused to leave the house with me and looking back I didn't even have anything odd or inappropiate on. She apparently told about the incident to her collegies and they said how cool is it I have my own style and it made her think about it twice. After that she only judges silently.

Very often parents get super concerned about others' opinions on their own children only because they don't want to be seen as bad parents.

I actually had a conversation like that with my mother about something she disapproved of. I asked if I was really doing something that bad and she said I wasn't, but that everyone she knows wouldn't understand and was going to be questioning her, her judgement, and judging the family. I just told her it doesn't matter what anyone thinks, because that's between us and it doesn't make her a bad parent if she lets her children make their own choices. Hearing that other people like our odd fashion choices probably made her feel more comfortable.

Hilariously enough, my mother has criticized a lot of my decisions, but never my clothing lol.

Kind of a nit-pic, but even the SS switched to baggy uniforms later in the war, although their cammie smocks were still pretty aesthetic. Well-tailored outfits just aren't suited for the battle-field. There's still dress and service uniforms, but the only people who wear those when they don't have to are either being forced to or just graduated boot camp. That being said, I got some annoying reactions the one time I went to a restaurant with my (at the time) girl friend while wearing my dress blues. Mainly just autists acting autistic, but still kind of annoying.

Late to the reply but in my experience black women are very nice and supportive, or they just glare at me, but don't stare or say anything-same with most women, besides asian women, who either glance over once in a while or giggle with a friend.
The devil is the middle aged white woman. They claim I want attention while screaming at me for attention, so annoying. They also stare and take the most pictures of me- Asian dudes also take a lot of pictures of me without permission. White men are worse, but that's only because they genuinely are scary and I fear they may hurt me. Young white dudes are also horrible, even the "nerdy" ones are really condescending towards me.
Black men are usually pretty cool though, regardless of age. The older ones just ignore me, maybe ask a question or two. young black men, sikh dudes, and hijabis are chill as fuck though. The three main groups of cool people. Young black guys talk to me the most and try to be my friend the most, they also bring up dragonball when they talk to me like everytime without fail, which I find really hilarious.
That's just my experience based on superficial aspects of people.

If they're the same age, they should be capable of defending themselves and won't need your help unless things get physical. Just ask them ahead of time how much interference they're comfortable with and use your best judgement in the moment.

You're NOT going to attract more harassment. Just being there will likely prevent most people from being rude. All the times I've been with my "normal" dressed male friends I've had less harassment in general than when I am alone.

I also have the opposite experience of >>10001104, usually the presence of a normally-dressed man (though definitely not a brolita) will keep the majority of assholes at bay. One time the presence of someone's husband did make things worse though; he's a physically small guy with a big mouth who started yelling at some men who were laughing at us, and they came over and pushed him to the ground. We'd never had anyone get physical before that. I think it's generally better not to yell back at people who look like they're trying to pick a fight because that will just encourage them to escalate.

I’ve had a few instances where I’ve gotten some odd comments about wearing stuff that is still normie by Lolita/jfashion standards but “odd” for normies (pastels, dresses, skirts, etc), cosplay, and lolita. Here’s a couple:
>Wearing over the knee socks on a trip abroad with a casual outfit at a cafe, older man approaches me and insists my socks are the kind football players wear and asks me if I do sports even though I was wearing a skirt and platform sneakers that day
>Had pink hair for a while, guy at a gas station asks if I dyed it like that because I lost a bet and when I told him no he was shocked since “people who dye their hair like that is usually cause they lost a bet not because they want to!”
>Comment about my pink hair again, was wearing a pink sundress that day and went to Party City with my friend during Halloween season, got asked if I’m going to be the pink panther for Halloween by an employee (I found that one funny desu)
>Dressed up as Yukio from Blue Exorcist for a con, older woman approaches me at the line to enter and asks if I’m cosplaying a nazi
>At lolita meet at a local restaurant, some of us go to the bathroom to retouch our makeup and hair, older woman interrogates us and asks us if we are pledging to be in a sorority

I’ve gotten other comments as well some of which have been really rude especially when I’ve worn Lolita in public, but these have been the most bizarre and memorable to me

I usually only get cute compliments, or people asking if I'm in a play or some sort of production.

Once I had some lady get in my face and demand why I was wearing "weird clothes". When I told her that I like dressing up and it makes me feel cute for the 5th time, she got FURIOUS and started yelling at me, demanding I tell her "the right" reason... It was actually a bit frightening how insane she was being, doing the whole bob and weave shit and being ghetto af. Luckily, some random guy came and grabbed her and told her to leave people alone and she started fighting with him, allowing me to make my getaway.

Not sure what was up with that desu. Not sure why people feel so entitled to know why someone is wearing any style of clothing, then get mad when they don't hear the answer that they want. I was already pissed that day, as the hem of my dress got stuck on a metal fence and ripped.

I fucking hate basic bitches who stick their noses into other people’s business.
“Hey anon, show us more photos of your doll clothes!”
“So are you going to wear your frilly dresses again?”
For the record, I only wear lolita and Otome, and I’d really like it keep it separate from work.

I've remember hearing one Arab guy telling a black man that black people don't belong in Africa and that racism doesn't exist, black people just made it up. Other than that, The claim that discrimination doesn't exist is usually spouted around on the internet by white people who refuse to accept that they are racist or overly privileged black people with Uncle Tom tendencies. It takes only the most stupid person to make such a idiotic statement. Sorry to go off topic.

THIS. Mother of GOD.
If I had a goddamn nickel for every time some sorry as fuck social reject was bitching about his life when it was clear as day he wasn't even keeping proper hygiene and skin care I could buy every dream dress I've ever wanted. Skin care is for everyone.

Landwhales do this too btw, they also blame the opposite sex for their failure instead of realizing it's their fault for being uncleanly. The excuses from both vary from laziness to blaming society for thinking hygiene is a necessity.

It's not very common in my country to comment on random people's appearences and if they do, it's usually positive feedback. Once this guy decided to keep yelling "PIKACHUUU" to me. This one bartender also asked if I'm a real anime girl and one bouncer told me that I look like j-pop star. Nothing major, although I've only been wearing casual fairy-kei inspired j-fash. The one time I wore a full lolita coord on my way from con to a burger place, cars kept honking at me. That's why I'm too shy to wear lolita outside cons or meetups :(

I think my favorite story was a lolita wearing it on Halloween and some doucher yelled at her “ITS NOT HALLOWEEN” and she got to watch the realization and shame slowly show on his face that it was, indeed, actually Halloween.

Maybe they can smell your racism and just give you shit for it, black women are so kind while white middle aged women and teens are the worst.
Normie black women have (all because of me wearing lolita, mind you)
>given me a free hairbow at a clothing store
>offered me a job at an accessory store
>waived the extra luggage fee for me at the airport
>told me of a local wig warehouse that sells wigs and circle lenses
>have generally been the most supportive group

I have been a lifestyler and in the 7 years of wearing the fashion, the worst I have ever gotten from a black women was "AYO U LOOKIN LIKE AN ALICE IN WONDERLAND LOOKIN HO"
as the black people around her stared at her with looks of shame.

Male pig anon confirmed. "Harajuku" hasn't been a thing for years. Even if it was still a thing, lolita has been global for years now. We have official brand name stores in America and Europe.

Ive been cosplaying for 8 years and the worst ive ever gotten was 4 rude black ladies at a Hardees laughing at me in my SMT Nanashi cosplay, and that was only last year. Otherwise ive only ever gotten extremely positive reactions from normies. Most ppl either got hyped up and wanted to get a pic with me or just weren't absolute morons and assumed there was clearly some sort of "comic book/larping" event going on nearby. A more recent development is the fast food workers knowing what characters the coplayers were which surprised me. Anime is a lot more widely accepted than it used to be.
