This photo isn't especially cute, but I've seen adorable pics of girls wearing lolita on /cgl/.

No. 65330

if the kid wants to wear it, ok, but most of the time it's women dressing their kids to take pictures and whore them out online which is shitty

As a kid I hated wearing girly shit. What are you implying?

No. 65340

kids will most likely see it as dress-up and fun, in most pics i've seen the kids look like they're enjoying themselves

Just that more likely than not a girl will want to wear frilly shit. Not all, of course.

this.

30 year old women wearing lolita is creepy and weird.

No. 65419

lolita is essentially for adults me personally i don't like adults wearing prints with pacifiers and toys on them and shit. angelic pretty even says their concept is to look like a little girl lmfao but little girls wearing it just makes it that much more annoying

I already figure you won't read this, so here's a sort of "in summation" comment.

> I do not think that the name of the fashion has any real bearing on the actual aesthetic of the fashion, and certainly not the sort of activities members of the Lolita community are up to. To assume that just because the Lolita fashion and Nabokov's Lolita have a common ancestor, several decades back, that all Lolitas are Nabokov devotees in the most deviant of ways, is to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how words work, as well as how the average interacts with both literature and fashion.

watching lolitas get triggered like this is always amusing

Nice try; I'm not even a lolita. I just take issue with posts like >>65541 wherein the poster makes a lazy and shitty correlation like this. Lolita fashion was not "made for children," and the book Lolita was not just about pedo/hebephelia.

I'm just pointing out an example source which argues the same point, but better than I could.

I can't believe you actually thought the greentext was a good argument lol

I'm slightly new to lolcow so I don't understand, why are there so many threads about cows in the lolita community/lolita shit in general? I don't care about some ugly 20-something autists bitching about other ugly 20-something autists over whose shitty frilly ~kawaii~ cosplay looks better.

The fashion is based on Victorian dolls and has nothing to do with the book (even the time period is wrong lmao). It's only called "Lolita" because Mana, a really popular fashion icon at the time, referred to it that way and it stuck. You could basically compare it to fucking steampunk or gothic wear, but more expensive and with a lot of substyles (Angelic Pretty looks very "little girl" because it's basically childish fairy tale stuff, Moi-Meme-Moitie is gothic as fuck and doesn't look even slightly childish, etc).
Sorry you got BTFO for not knowing what you're talking about, but anon said nothing wrong.
