>>8492774
oh my god

>>8492774
I am sorry those people made it weird even though you must have looked adorable.

I personally wouldn't have the courage.

>>8492777
>even though you must have looked adorable.
Aww anon.
Nah i felt kinda grossed out but perverts are everywhere and i had worse

Vaguely /cgl/ related but the other day this normie announcer was acting like a snowflake at EVO because he watched Death Note and everyone was cringing because he kept saying how good it was and was trying to compare L and Kira to different things.

It was like he just stepped out of 2005.

>>8492774
>old men thinking they still have game
Embarrassing.

bump

>>8492774
I am sorry OP i kekked

>>8492843
Aw man i miss 2005

This is a troll thread, right?
I don't go on cgl often because of shit like this

>>8492774
Well anon, you WERE wearing underwear as pants. You were totally asking for it.

>>8492774
this one happened earlier this year at senior prom
before someone yells "underage!", i'm 18 now although this happened at age 17
>decided it was a good idea to wear lolita to prom
>simple sax old-schoolish coord, solid IW OP, RHS, etc
>dj turns down the music, points at me, and yells into the mic
>"HEY ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE ALICE IN WONDERLAND?"

also my mom told me that one of her friends who was chaperoning at prom described me as "the hello kitty girl"
i had no cat elements or pink in my coord
?????

>on way to meetup, decide to stop by grocery store to get cookies
>looking at cookies, deciding
>little girl comes up to me
>very nervous and shy
>aww.jpg
>"d...do you like mushrooms?"
>not sure if i heard her right
>smile at her, she probably doesn't know what she's saying
>her mom is standing a few feet away, clearly judging me
>"do you like mushwooms?"
>keep smiling, just say yeah cause idk
>mom says that enough and takes girl away
>???????????????????????

this was back when i first got into lolita
>sitting with friends

>"noooo, trust us. It's that fetish stuff"
>think I would know
>they think I'm deluded, too innocent for this world, too pure
>why

>>8492843
are you talking shit about Bobby Scarduzio?
that dude killed Mufasa you cretin

>>8492774
>wear clothes that show off your legs
>oh no! some guys noticed my legs! i'm so uncomfortable!

>>8494304
It was the comment, anon. It's creepy

>>8494315
The one about the backpack, maybe, but how was the first one anything bad at all? Is it really creepy to tell someone they're cute? wtf?
>implying people don't dress up to be cute
Not to mention op was walking around in fucking bloomers.

>>8494328
Relax man, she just mentioned they were staring at her legs a lot, that's what she's getting at since she didn't really grasp the innuendo about the cat's placement

>>8494328
OP wasn't saying that the first one was bad. They were providing it as a contrast.

>>8494304
>>still nice to hear anyway eh.

she literally mentions that right after....chill anon, ok

>>8494106
Maybe she thought you were Princess Peach?

At the end of the day, in the evening during a con I changed into this tartan jsk out with my friends...we ended up being mostly outside of the con (only put the jsk on cause I thought we were going back inside) to get stuff for the hotel room.
I have to admit, tartan + the chunky old school style shoes I was wearing made me look like some kind of weird ageplay hooker but I didn't think it was that big of a deal...on the street these 2 guys walking past gave me a "look". not that big of a deall, but y'know how odd it feels when someone stares at you in a creepy way.

after that we went into a store to get some stuff for the room, when we were leaving this old man came up to me and started looking me up and down exclaiming "wow! you look so great!" then started singing??? then turned to my friend and said "doesn't she look GOOD?"

I dunno, none of this was obviously sexual but it made me uncomfortable enough that I sold the jsk after because I just associated weird vibes with it. I don't know what it is about plaid that makes people act so bizarre because I've heard stories from other girls who've worn plain shit out getting creepier comments than what I experienced. The 2 reactions I had were odd but definitely nothing compared to some other people's stories.

>>8494106
>One side will make you grow taller and the other side will make you get shorter.
>Op: the other side of what?
>THE MUSHWOOM, OF COURSE!!!
That kid knows, and it went way over your head.

>wearing this exact dress
>American Eagle, literally normiewear
>car of either nigs or wetbacks speeds by in the parking lot, driveby-yell "AY LITTLE BO PEEP"
>instinctively flip them off
>tear up a little because wearing simple shit that isn't jeans and a sweatshirt is fucking forbidden voodoo magic and I can't stand it anymore

It's not even poofy or rori, I don't even wear jfash, but I figure you guys would see how asinine that was. I get occasional unintelligible yells from people in cars even when I'm in jeans and they're driving up from behind me, fucking why? What'd I do? I mad.

How do you deal with drivebys?

>>8494523
Laugh at how dumb they are for actually thinking you can understand them.

>>8494523
Usually if you give them a response it only encourages them, I've taken to wearing really obvious headphones and a resting bitch face in public if I encounter drive bys.

I had someone I work with asking me questions about the fashion recently. They mention that they want to help get their girlfriend in to it and buy her a dress. I write a huge email response with helpful links and honesty about what looks good or bad. Response was, "Oh sorry you put so much time in to this anon, it really is just for a sex thing"............

>>8494523
Lol that happend a lot at AX .
>me and my friend sitting in front of the convention center
>Just people watching
>traffic to turn right is backed up because of a bunch of weebs
>suddenly a group of black folk stop in front of us. (We weren't cosplaying.)
>They start laughing and making fun of the weebs
>Start to check out slurs
>"AYYY DAT SAILOR MOON HUH NIGGA? AYYY YO BITCH COME OVER HERE!
>none of their beta orbiters said anything.
>me and my friend were laughing

>>8494549
Would you rather he be dishonest with you?

The proper move for him would have been to say thanks in some form and then later if you follow up say she lost interest, but still.

I was playing Cards Against Humanity with my comm in a public seating area once, and someone came up to us and asked, "Are you Wiccans/pagans doing some sort of ritual?"

>>8494557
It really just makes me feel gross that he looks at it like a sex thing, since it isn't for me. I wish he would have mentioned it first though, rather than say she was interested in the fashion.

>>8494565
Bruddah, everything you have ever loved is a sex thing to someone out there.

Even your nana.

>>8494558

>>8494570
A+, anon.

>>8494569
Well I know that, I just would have preferred they tell me that before I put effort in to helping them.

>>8494523
i'd feel bad for you, but you're racist piece of shit lmao

>>8494569
>hur durr you shouldn't have boundaries because men will fuck anything

>>8494591
That projection sure leaves a wicked burn.

>>8494556
why the fuck are all men associated with this hobby such fucking weaklings? grow some balls already or stay home.

>>8494582
Not even OP, but fuck off.

>>8494523
>Always sad I only see women wearing fucking jeans, no skirts or dresses.
>Thirsty faggots that can't handle acting like adults ruin it for the rest of us.
Sweet.

>i try to slightly move when he takes it, hopes it comes out blurry
>he thanks me
>run as fast as my bodyline shoes will take me

On ILD i went to the store to get snacks for the meet up and this little kid, probably around 10 was riding his bike near where i was walking. Now the town i live in is not big, so it's easy to tell he's following me. Then when i wasn't paying attention he rode next to me and slapped my ass over petticoat and everything. What's the point of slapping a girl's ass of you can't even feel it.
Needless to say it still wasn't cool

>>8492774

Pic related

>>8494665
Don't worry Anon, I still wear skirts and dresses and curl my hair almost everyday - the glares from women in sweatpants are worth it.

I also get the "What are you so dressed up for?" from people all the time, which isn't negative, but incredibly sad in the big picture.

>>8494733
lmao what a playa

>>8494740
autism shoes??? anyways I laughed anon, sorry for your weird experience but at least you never saw him again.

What I get from this thread is that you all hate ethnics. As a spic, does this mean I have no chance with any of you Lolita's?.
>the normal and brown.

>wearing lolita
>casual meet, nothing too fancy
>I am the tall goth vulture mom to the two tiny pink sweet lolitas hanging with me
>dude walks by
>gives me the up-and-down, I expect the worst
>"Holy shit, you guys look swag as fuck."
>everything went better than expected

>>8494765
Autistic kids fuckin' love brightly coloured, puffy sneakers and they usually have fifty of the same pair because it's the only shoes they'll wear.
>Not sure if Americans use a different word to 'sneakers.'

I get what she means, though.

>>8494765
pic related and anything from payless

>>8494765
>>8494782

I don't think autism shoes are solely limited to trainers/sneakers. For me, hiking trainers and loafers with velcro straps spring to mind as well when I think of autism shoes.

>Bonus points if they're worn with blue jeans and a ratty black coat.

>>8494790
>and anything from payless
u wot

>dressed in lolita to watch an opera, wearing a cute coat that covers most of my coord so still not that noticeable anyway
>opera finishes, it's dark
>goes to bring bf some food since the bar he works at is just a short walk away from campus

>heart pounds, all alone
>immediately start running and enter the back of the bar where there's a kitchen (where I'm not supposed to be)
>find bf there and tells him what happened, still frightened
>owner comes to check on me because he saw what happened, says it's fine for me to wait in the back till they leave

>>8494843
>Didn't turn into a story about how you and your bf got gunned down in front of your son.
But seriously that's shit, get some friends to watch opera with you yo.

>>8494843
Sad to say but having a GF and hearing her stories about guys catcalling when she's alone sucks real bad. I hate how guys can't be fucking be non annoying white knights.

Fucking frat boys.

>>8494837
Shoes are a big deal where I come from, so my opinion might be skewed because of that.

>>8494858
Jesus christ I laughed so fucking hard

>>8494858

>>8494773
Only the ones that yell stuff from cars or act creepy.

>>8494523
>upset for people judging you for your clothing
>judging people for their skin color

okay.

>>8494591
I think anon meant that everything is literally a fetish. Lolita? Fetish to others.
Mature old lady? Fetish.
Feet messages? Fetish.
Gay men having dinner and then fucking each other after? Big fetish.

>>8495807
>implying 90% of the idiots who do this aren't black

>>8495816
most of the time this has happened to me, it's been dumb white rednecks.

>>8494118
that happened to me a few years ago in high school
the guy wasn't a normie by any means though

>guy i sat by in class was really creepy
>i was looking at some coords on my tablet
>he leans over
>"what's that anon"
>"it's a fashion style called lolita--"
>"YOU LIKE LOLICON?"
>no.jpg
>he actually ends up going around to other people in the class who liked anime and telling them i liked lolicon

for the rest of the year he'd randomly ask if i'd seen so-and-so hentai

>>8494416
Hah, what did he sing?

>>8495839
ew, wtf. why would you go around saying that, even if it were true...

>knew a guy that used hentai mouse-pad in public
>had a phone case with a loli in a swimsuit on it
>guy was an anime snob that hated mainstream animes like naruto and looked down on people that watched them
>but was into obscure low-quality ecchi animes
>would speak passionately about his love for flat-chested girls in public
>no one liked him and he eventually went away
your story reminded me of this guy...

Seriously people who's stories are about being yelled at from cars. I used to walk home 30 minutes from school everyday before I got a car and got yelled at pretty much everyday. And I lived in a rich white suburban area. So I started wearing headphones and couldn't hear so then they started throwing bottles or cigarettes instead. I'm not even unusually attractive. It's just looking female, not the clothes.
>be me at con
>got there early, in lolita, waiting for friends
>this youngish obviously aspergers/autistic kid starts approaching
>shit
>"Hi ma'am. I like your dress. I'm making my own anime character, and I'd like her to wear something like that. What's it called?"
>"Thanks, it's called Lolita Fashion"
>"Alright thanks"
>hobbles away
>ok I guess
Good luck on your oc little dude.

>>8495900
I go for a long walk every day and I mostly just get random people offering me rides. As if I'd accept a ride from a stranger... Could be Ted Bundy wannabes, for all I know. I guess they mean well, it's just really annoying when all I want to do is get a little exercise.

I wear T-shirts and shorts when I go walking, if it makes a difference.

>>8493740
DJs at high school proms are always pathetic asshole losers.

>>8495896
>>knew a guy that used hentai mouse-pad in public
>>had a phone case with a loli in a swimsuit on it
Made me cringe hard

>>8494118
I have had this exact conversation too many times. All these people who think they totally know better than someone who actively participates in the fashion because they saw a link to knowyourmeme.com on Facebook once, yet somehow I'm the ignorant one who doesn't know what she's talking about.

>>8494779
That's the kind of people I wanna be friends with.

>>8494416
I posted about this in a previous thread but a coworker of my parents insisted that my tartan coord was a "sexy schoolgirl outfit" because apparently that's the only time anyone ever wears tartan. I didn't have my hair in pigtails, cardigan rather than blouse, no knee socks, nothing school girlish whatsoever aside from the tartan. People are weird.

>>8494569
I'd still appreciate people not telling me they're jerking it to my glasses/hair/shoes/cat/whatever but ok

>>8495826

99% of the time it's poor people.

>>8495992
well, no one in a mercedes has ever yelled at me from a car, so maybe. for some reason it's usually pick-up trucks.

>>8495922
Friend got hit on once on the train by a dude rocking a messenger bag with a GIANT "fakku!" logo taking up most of it.

His weeb wiles did not work.

>>8493740
Fucking normies can't compare for shit

>>8495911
Sometimes when I go jogging random suburban moms would pull over and ask if I need a ride.

>took the metro to a party a few months ago
>wearing sweet lolita
>older friends offer to take the train back with me because they're concerned for my safety at night
>we wait for the train
>kind of greasy dude starts to walk towards us
>get nervous because I'm autistic and don't like talking to strangers
>he walks past friends straight up to me
>"I like your maid outfit!"
>smile, try to make eye contact "it's not a maid outfit, just Japanese fashion. Thank you!"
>"Oh no, it's a maid outfit. My friend ran a panel on maid outfits at this con so I would know."
>ok.jpg
>he keeps on talking about maid outfits and anime at me for ten minutes until the train comes

Also that night:

>feel awkward because I'm walking to this party in the city alone in lolita
>pass a group of young guys
>hope they ignore me
>"HOW YOU DOIN BABY"
>"great, thanks!"
>"come sit down with us!!"
>say I gotta go after talking for a couple minutes
>one gives me his phone number

I ended up texting him and now that guy's my boyfriend. Turns out he mentioned me to his friend and his friend yelled at me to embarrass him.

>>8494790
nigga, those ain't austism shoes.>>8494825
are, also socks with sandals

>small group of us at friend's house in a not so great area
>we have to go to the supermarket
>in oldschool
>on our way back some woman drives past and literally screams bloody murder out of her car window
>like she doesn't even say anything, she just shrieks
>major wtf moment

>>8494591
I think you mean people will fuck anything.

>>8496143
i laughed

>wear j-fash
>don't dress like a fucking retard
>people don't say anything

If you dress avante garde, people are going to say something, or stare. Keep avante garde for private functions and you won't have to deal with "teh normieez"

>>8496081
>>"Oh no, it's a maid outfit. My friend ran a panel on maid outfits at this con so I would know."

god I fucking hate when people do this. like okay, I'm also wearing it, don't you think I would know too?

>>8495889
I don't know, he just started singing a random song he made up as he went along I guess. just lines peppered with shit like "YOU~~ LOOK SOOO GOOD~~~~~" it was weird...and this was when I left the store, he must've saw me from outside because as soon as I walked out the door to put the shopping cart away he came up to me and started singing. I even ignored him and he kept doing it. I just said acknowledged him super briefly then walked away lol song was 'innocent' enough I guess, didn't want to stick around to find out of he had anymore songs for me.


>>8495974
Yeah I guess people really associate tartan/plaid with sexualized school girl shit and it's super creepy. Was it red tartan that you were wearing? Seems like that gets the brunt of this awful stereotype. I'm thinking if I wore some other color (like navy or dark green) perhaps it would have a slightly different vibe?

>>8495985
this. sure, there are all sorts of sexual fetishes and sexualized things out there but it's just manners to know that it's not appropriate to randomly blurt or ask people about it when it wasn't asked for. asking your coworker about their mode of dress 'for a sex thing' is also really kinda weird. I wouldn't ask my coworker that. That's something I'd go online to like, fetlife for.

in the same way that plenty of gay dudes think athletic wear is hot but they don't just go up to random friends and coworkers asking where to buy gear 'for a sex thing'. that's just an odd thing to bring up.

>>8494720
How is that a normie horror story? Not even a real horror story just a weird guy took a picture with you, hell you didn't even mention hover hand so fair game to that creeper

>>8494790
hey those are comfy as fuck for walks, plus they ain't all that cheap

the normal non toed type are better though

>>8492774
Sounds like you walked into that one OP.

>>8494610
>beta orbiters
>why aren't they stepping up to protect me
>beta

Question answered

Also for real though protect yourself. When is conceal-carry lolita going to be a thing?

>>8494610
it ain't like the girls are any less beta unless they are full on tumblr or bitchy freaks

>>8496081
>some guy gives their number to a passing girl they don't know in the street
>it actually fucking worked

Okay, do I need to get braver or hotter, what am I doing wrong

>>8496451
Seriously luck out

>>8496338
Yeah, I was just like "....okay." I didn't want to get into it with a random 30 year old weeb at midnight. It didn't even look vaguely like a maid outfit, it was a printed BTSSB JSK.

>>8496451
He wasn't the one who was yelling at me, so idk. I think you just have to get lucky. I stopped because of his friends and then we started talking and hit it off. He's way too shy to actually do something like that himself.

>>8494773
Dude.. Just have charisma and hygiene. Don't be creepy or rude. It helps if you know how to dress yourself well and aren't a NEET.

>>8494523
>car of either nigs or wetbacks speeds by in the parking lot, driveby-yell "AY LITTLE BO PEEP"
I was about to feel bad but judging by that description you deserved it bitch
mfw i read that

>tries to slow dance to a 180bpm song
I fucking died anon, sorry. Glad you didn't see him again though

>>8496593
When did seagulls get so sensitive? Do they have a normie view of /b/ being the devil of the internet, too?

>>8492774
The fuck, why would you wear JUST bloomers and walk around in public? That'd look ridiculous. They're underwear ffs not pants

>>8496707
Naw, the flooding of more Tumblrites the last few years has caused ~muh feelings~ to come out.

Sorry if this is OT since it's cosplay

>Taking photos of bf in con's Avatar/Korra photoshoot
>Couple of city cops walk by, start asking me what's going on while looking very concerned
>"Oh, it's a conven-"
>"WHATS GOING ON"

>"We-"
>"WHAT"
>"It's a photoshoot."
>They say "okay" and walk away
>mfw

>>8496916
Not OP or from tumblr but what she said is kind of rude, isn't it? That's not something would say in public would they?

>>8496935
We're on an anonymous image board.
Why do we give a shit what someone would say in public?

>>8496325
bait harder

>>8494758
>"what are you so dressed up for?"
>so I don't look like trash

>>8496573
>hygiene

All of this. Seriously, I refuse to even be around anyone who doesn't groom themselves.

>>8496935
You'd think "LITTLE BO PEEP," "ALICE!," "r u a catholic schoolgirl," "RED RIDING HOOD!," "YOU LIKE LOLICON?" are also things people wouldn't say/yell in public to strangers.

>>8497070
Yeah, but it's kind of hypocritical to complain about that and then say rude shit about other people over things they can't even change.

>>8496943
Because real people read this anonymous message board. You don't have to care about other people's feelings, but it's still rude.

>>8497081
She didn't yell it to them though, she was complaining about them anonymously on a forum where they will never see these insults aimed at them. They yelled at her on the street.

I'm not saying slurs are ok, but being upset about a person and defaulting to an "easy" insult about them online is hardly enough to make what happened to her ok. Criticize her for using the slurs if you must but her using them here doesn't make her a shitty person who deserves to be publicly humiliated IMO.

>>8497093
They won't read it, but other people will. Using racial slurs doesn't just insult the person they're directed at. They insult every person belonging to that race, whether they've done anything wrong or not.

I'm not saying she deserved it (that poster was not me), and there are certainly worse things people can do than say racist shit on the internet, but two wrongs don't make a right and all that.

>>8497113
Fuck that sling hate errrrywhere.
I think you're giving too many shits, there's a chance none of this even happened.

>>8497113
Yeah I get that but there were a few people being nasty and saying she deserved what she got because she was upset by it and used some Bad Words on The Internet. She didn't. You are absolutely correct to say that her words insult more than just the people she's directing them to, and I think you saying as much is a good thing. But the fucking tumblrites ITT who are just here to say someone deserves harassment because they said bad words on 4chan are missing the god damn point so hard.

>>8497125
Even if it didn't happen, other people still read it and it's rude to be a dick to them.

There will always be people being assholes anonymously because no consequences, but I'd rather not be one of them. But do what you want. I can't stop anybody.

>>8497138
She did nothing to provoke them, so of course she didn't deserve it. But I can understand if people find it harder to feel sorry for her over it. It's still better to criticize her actions than to just spit unnecessary vitriol though.

So I agree with you.

I got one I guess, it's a story my mom and sister always like to tell me from when I was a little kid or something.

>Sister's friend wins homecoming queen during highschool
>Back in the day when the kids at the school actually had school spirit and town pride and shit, so there was a homecoming parade.
>Chick who won homecoming queen drives by on a float wearing so poofy frill frill dress with the crown and sash, and waves
>Apparently I got super excited to see her
>Sister drags me with her to greet her friends at the school
>I see the homecoming queen
>Ask her if she's the Queen
>"Lol, yes?"
>Blush and tell her she's pretty. And I asked for a hug
>She hugs me and a says something like "I hugged the queen!"
>Apparently I thought she was a legit Disney affiliated Queen/Princess or something.
>That shit made my whole day and I guess I told people in the grocery store that I "met the Queen"

I mean in my defense I was very young and anything frilly and poofy = a queen or princess.

>>8497169
Aww, you were cute, anon.

>>8497169
And now you're on /cgl/.
That's is pretty heart warming.

>>8494558
Don't forget they also called us Gypsies

>>8494523

I'll never understand this viewpoint. It would literally make my day if I was outside and a car full of girls yelled at me.

>>8497169

I've actually had very, very few negative reactions from normies when dressing in jfash. Instead, I've gotten a decent amount of girls who come up to me and compliment my outfit, ask where I buy my clothes, etc. However, my coords are usually pretty tame, nothing super out-there like loli.

>>8497661
Uhh... usually the things that are yelled aren't great, anon. Calling someone "little bo peep" is basically saying, "You're dressed differently and because I never matured past playground bullying, as a form of expressing my confusion I'm going to mock you!" It's annoying, to say the least. Then you have the, "hey sweetie"s, the "baby"s, the "aw don't be like that", and after ignoring these, the "fuck you, you slut"s. It's not enjoyable. At all. Especially when these things are hurled at you not from one man in a passing car, but from multiple in a car that's crawling next to you, and you're alone, and you're scared.

So yeah, fuck you and inability to grasp any viewpoint that isn't your own or put yourself in anyone else's shoes. "literally make my day", my ass.

Sage for the double post.

Sorry you're now realizing you were wrong about wanting to be yelled at from passing cars and someone pointing out how gross it actually is made you uncomfortable enough to make a cheap jab in response.

You give me too much credit to be offended at that, I just felt like making a cheap jab at your expense.

>>8497929

It's ok. Just catcall me next time you drive by

Surprisingly, I haven't had much of a reaction to the way I dress. (I wish I had some interesting stories to tell. I really do.) Just the occassional compliment from an elderly women here and there. Its always elderly women for some weird reason. Kids stare from time to time, but nobody has really said or done anything to me.

>>8498075
Same here. Lots of compliments from middle-aged and older ladies, only some stares from children. Funny thing is that the compliments I get from older women sound a lot like what other seem to get from kids, like "you look like a princess!"
Unfortunately women my age tend to give me the stink-eye and men, if they react at all, just look really confused or startled. Nobody has ever catcalled me (beyond the usual) though so that's good.

>>8494523

Depends on the area. I wear dresses all the time, winter and summer. Had some old people say it's cute and guys seem to like it, but never any negative reactions. Move out of Harlem?

Besides, more normies are wearing cute stuff. Look through Rue 21 sometime. Cheap, shitty clothes, but have to admit some of it is cute. Recent fashions are more lacy, fluffy, and dainty. So it is more accepted.

But yeah, 95% of people just wear jeans or yoga pants. Any negative reactions are just them overflowing with jelly that their girls aren't moe as fuck.

>>8496074
i love it when normies call alice in wonderland when i'm wearing no sax, alice elements, or aprons in my coord

>>8498458
One time I was wearing a black collared shirt with chains, a tie, studded bracelets, pants, and boots (going for a punk type of look), and I got "where are your sheep?". I don't understand normies.

>>8498068
>cgl enough
Have you been living under a rock then? She crawled her way up from being a femenazi lolcow to mass media big name for feminists.

>>8494523
People do that just to be assholes, I know because when I was 16 I did stuff like that with my friends to crackheads in bad neighborhoods. Generally we didn't like bugging normal folk.
We had a little crossbow that would shoot pencil crayons and would drive by somalian gangsters and shoot them with it, one time a guy ran up to us as we turned the corner and threw a metal pipe at the window. Was some good stuff

Nowadays if I'm out for a jog every now and then some kids in their car will yell something I can't understand anyways, probably "fag" or whatever

>>8498538
Oh. So that's who you're referencing. I thought you meant someone who actually would hang around cgl. I thought I missed the next Olivia or something.

>>8494523
I get really pissed off at that stuff but as a dude in ouji it's usually more along the lines of "faggot" or something. If I have my skateboard and am by myself I'll usually throw a water bottle at them (2/5 success rate so far) but otherwise there isn't much you can do.

>>8497661
Do you also get confused when you see a cute girl alone on her phone and she's rude to you when you try to talk to her? Maybe one day you'll be able to understand different points of view.

>start dressing in ouji
>after a couple months, pictures of it end up on my facebook
>i have family on my facebook

>grandmother, aunt, and mother sitting at table with me
>"What's that thing where you dress up all stupid? You look like a homo"

They were unable to comprehend that it was a fashion/hobby. They were insistent that I got paid to do it (I do acting stuff, they thought maybe it was theatre) because there's no way anyone in their right mind would dress up like that intentionally.

My mom doesn't have facebook and wasn't sure what they were talking about but tried to defend me.. the two of them are just very ignorant and loud people, while my mom is pretty timid.

Thankfully the man wasn't really that creepy. He was just old and confused and it was kind of adorable honestly.

>be in fairy kei at target
>in grocery section
>group of like ten old ladies sees me from their seats where they're getting coffee
>call me over and tell me they love what im wearing
>want selfies with me

I feel like most of the reactions I get are harmless old people that are cute. I've had some negative ones but nothing too bad.

The worst was when I was at an outdoor shopping mall and this lady spotted me and drove really slowly nearby while her daughter had her camera out. I was with my bf and hid behind him.

Dapper. Would date/10. Nice coord.

Just say it's fashion and then stop talking about it. You don't have to justify yourself to anyone. My parents think I'm a freak and completely crazy, but I do my thing no matter what they say. Eventually they stopped bitching and became supportive. Mostly.

"I could call your daddy for you!"

I wasn't even wearing tartan, usually that's what causes folks to get weird. For the most part though people leave me alone unless they're asking what school has my uniform.

Same anon as above

A friend of mine and I got in a fight recently and she decided to start shitting on lolita saying how it was sexual and some form of ageplay even though she knows its not and I've repeatedly told her and explained her the fashion. She told me how we were pandering to the male gaze and some other bullshit, which surprised me because even though she was angry, I could tell she was being sincere and not just saying it to upset me. Not only that but she's one of those tumblrtards who is like uh clothing does not make u a slut, slut shaming is wrong, I'll have sex if I want. Idk bitch pissed me off and I'll never trust her again. I don't even feel like calling her a friend tbh. Sorry for the personal rant. On another note

>wearing lolita at mall with friends

>>8499375

Top fucking kek, is she just using random tumblr buzzwords or does she actually believe that lolita fashion is appealing to the average normie man?

>one of those tumblrtards who is like uh clothing does not make u a slut
True though.

>>8497792
>"You should take a selfie!!!"

That's the fuckin' spirit, older lady. Embrace the zeitgeist and startle people with your positivity wherever you go.

>>8497857
Dude, just type "sage" in the options bar ffs

>>8499375
I genuinely do not understand how anyone could find lolita sexual unless the only thing they look at is the name. It barely shows skin and hides natural curves. I get that someone somewhere will have a fetish for anything, but how could an average person find it sexy? (ignoring ero lolita)

>>8499428
That isn't always enough

>>8499051
It's a pun

You know, 'Hello Kitty'?

>>8499439
are you being serious

typing it in the body of text does fuck all 100% of the time

>>8499375
>pandering to the male gaze

god, you can tell she doesn't know fucking shit and is trying to push western feminist ideas onto a japanese thing....didn't lolita literally come about in part due to girls in japan specifically wanting to dress up in clothes *they* thought were cute and that wasn't supposed to be for men/to freak men out???

>>8499486
I've heard that it was in part a reaction against femininity being oversexualized. They wanted to show you can be feminine without having to appeal to men... so miss tumblrite doesn't know what she's talking about at all.

>>8499473
Uh, yeah, in 5 years being on this board, sometimes I've needed to write sage in both fields for it to work. Sorry?

>>8499500
>>8499486
I'm of the opinion that it has fuck all to do with any of that, and is just girls enjoying fashion reminiscent of old styles and trends
God forbid someone actually enjoys feminine clothing
You have to remember that this post-modern crap is literally created with the intent of being injected anywhere and everywhere, inventing it's own justification after the fact.

>>8499538
Yeah, I like it because it's cute.

But if you *have* to read too much into it, lolita is a rejection of the "male gaze". It certainly isn't meant to appeal to mainstream men's sexuality.

>>8497786
no one cares, just don't stare

>>8498640
It's a pretty gay looking fashion anon, they're not wrong. Looks good though, just keep walking with your dandy ass held high.

you're an obnoxious idiot, you know that right?
stop it.
>boy summer sure is fun

>>8499639
I don't get why everyone doesn't do this? If someone asks me what I'm wearing or why I'm dressed different I just say it's a Japanese street fashion. 9/10 that shuts them up they'll nod and say it looks really cool/different.

>>8499350
He probably was gonna rape and kill you cause he thought you were some defenceless child.

>>8499413
i believe she meant it was a type of fetish
>>8499419
like i said above, she meant it as if it was a type of fetish. and yea its true which is why it surprised me when she called out my fashion choices for being kiddish and close to padering to lolicons when she herself believes in no slut shaming.
>>8499438
that is what i would like to know as well anon.
>>8499486
anon, this girl and i had been friends for years, i've explained to her the ins and outs of lolita fashion including all of the issues that come with it of people sexualizing it even though its such a covered up fashion. so i assumed she understood me and agreed with me until this shit came up and she called me out for wearing lolita and kiddish clothes?? (i dont even wear sweet) and how it was sexualized. i really have no idea wtf was going through her head.

>>8500106
Man, fuck her. I couldn't be friends with someone that thought of me like that.

>>8497792

I know i brought this on myself. I've never had responses like this though. Found out this girl can't do anything on her own and needs constant direction. Boyfriend tracks her mileage and scolds her if she's a mile or so off of what she's supposed to be. She can't even go to the gas station without him tracking mileage.

>>8500408
Yeah, thanks, I know it's just a meme. Sometimes when I write sage in just the options field, it won't let me post, and idk if it's just a glitch I've been having, but I haven't had that since I've included sage in the other fields.

>And that other one with muh heritage, but I forgot what it was called
Ireland?

I was going to go to a con alone in lolita but thanks to the stories here I'm taking someone with me.
What was I thinking? I live in a country known for its rude people.

Not really exactly jfash, but was wearing Kyary's Tsukematsukeru outfit to a con right after the pv came out (skirt w/ snack bags and all that jazz)
Con was really small and there were a bunch of normies walking around really confused, the usual and such.

Extreme normie neckbeard creep walks up to me, with the creepiest smirk:

>"hey, cute outfit, I like your skirt"
>"..haha... Thanks..."
>"I have to say you're delicious up top and down there" (pointing to my skirt)
>image attached is mfw
>fucking books it out of the hallway area

I was like 15 years old and mortified

>>8499639
Oh I do, but sometimes they come across the name on TV or the internet and run to me like HEY DID U KNO there's a Japanese movement called gothic lolita that's all about dressing liek a sexy baby to attract pedos!!?!?!? And I'm just sitting there from head to toe in IW trying to explain to them that they've been misinformed but nope, clearly the person who wrote that clickbait article knows better than someone who's actually into the fashion.
I've started just trying to ignore it when the topic of this wacky Japanese pedo sex cult costume comes up but it stings, man.

>>8499350

>>8500516
But she did do that
It looks like anon was giving her shit for...what? Not JUST saying sage?

This all thing looks so autistic as fuck.

Any gals want to share their experiences? I showed a friend gyaru and told him I wanted to get into it and he said they looked like cheap hookers

>>8500359
>>8500379
"I want to destroy that pussy"

(Not sure but I don't think the idiom actually translates well to Japanese... I think they would take it literally.)

>>8501046
Anon was giving her shit for typing sage in the main field like a newfag and then arguing that this does anything whatsoever.

>be at con in misa cosplay
>not even a revealing one either
>walks out the doors of the con
>not five feet from the con
>car drives by
>loud "DAMN GIRL!" from backseat
>rufuckingkiddingme.jpg

Literally not even five feet from the con. What the hell? They weren't even con goers, just normies who drove near the con all day to harass the congoers.

>>8501047
They do, though. Let's be real.

>>8501047
But in all seriousness my ex hated gyaru and thought I looked like an alien, but little girls thought I looked like a princess, and I've had some old people clearly think I'm a prostitute, and some think I look lovely.

Honestly I think with some substyles the more you look like a hooker the more gal it is. That's the style and you have to just think fuck it.

>>8499051
To many normies, lolita and other jfahs is "helly Kitty" fashion.
I can't count how many times people told me I looked like Hello Kitty.

>>8501054
You got it.

>>8501059
But people say sage in the main field the time, not just because they think it does anything

Kft. I always thought mori looked like hobo gear, but didn't want to say that here. Also, lemme say, a bunch of drapy, loose clothes like that would be hell to wear in a forest, so I don't know where the name comes from. Shit would pull and drag on everything.

She is under the mistaken impression that you have to put sage in the body of a message in order to sage a thread. It only goes in the options field, but if you want your reply to go through, you have to put SOMEthing in the body of the reply. However it doesn't need to be "sage" - it can be literally anything. You just can't post a blank reply.

The whole point of sage is being able to reply without bumping the thread. On busier boards if a thread gets enough sages it goes into auto-sage early (at least this is how it used to work, not sure about these days), so that's why you would want to sage without adding to a conversation, but on a slow-ass board like /cgl/ there's no point to doing that, really.

>>8501196

You're not very far off. The origin of the fashion was that one girl posted a selfie and some other girl said "that's a terrible outfit, you look like you just crawled out of the forest!" and then the first girl said "well ok! this is forest girl fashion then!". So yeah, the origin of the fashion was a ridicule.

After the first handful of girls taking it up the "fashion" it should really have died out, but spoon magazine for some reason decided to take up the fashion, and then suddenly it was a legit style. Kind of makes you wonder about the tumblr snowflakes starting up their own fashions.

afaik it happen on a Japanese forum, no one has caps. If you go back to the earliest entries on the morigirl LJ comm you'll find the same story, though.

Since she was replying, she didn't need to put sage in the message. Either put sage in the email feild and reply, or put it in the email and message field if you aren't going to say anything or post an image.

Going "sage, here's my tirade" is pointless and shows how new you are.

you know, after reading this thread, i'm pretty happy i live in such a crowded city. nobody ever yells from cars here, because the walking person you just insulted would catch up to you a the next stop...

The only negative response I've ever gotten was someone asking me where my sheep were and then they touched my skirt because poof. Other than that all the responses I've gotten have been very positive.

One time I was out with my bf at a local park and there was a group of older ladies sitting in the covered picnic area. They came up to us and asked me why I was dressed so fancy and one of them said "I wish more young girls would dress like you." They admired my coord for a good ten minutes or so, it was the cutest thing.

>>8500147
Yes because when you're in a potentially dangerous situation you should definitely be thinking about how to avoid OTHER people being in a dangerous situation.
Fuck you, if you were in that situation you would not have thought of protecting other people.

Anon who wrote the story here, and the girl (i'll call B)flat out told us this. B always left right on the dot and freaked out if she had to stay over to help clean rooms. She was already freaking out about how she thought we all hated her. One of my female coworkers passed B in the hallway while B was cleaning.
>B: Do you hate me?
>female coworker: No...why? Who said that
>B: The voice in my head.

B also tried to offer the other coworkers food that she had taken a bite out of already. She'd shove it in there face saying "Here!!" No joking. Quite a bit of social awkwardness. Sorry for distracting bits in my story. The girl just couldn't do a damn thing for herself. At 27 years old she still whined relentlessly and very much outloud about doing work. She'd find another lady from our company who she'd attached herself to and continuously nagged the lady to help. Said lady took no shit from B.

You did fine at explaining reasons why it isn't appreciable to someone who isn't seeing it from your point of view admirably, but then you finished with:
>
So yeah, fuck you and inability to grasp any viewpoint that isn't your own or put yourself in anyone else's shoes. "literally make my day", my ass.

Which is entirely unnecessary, makes you sound self-righteous over somebody who probably wasn't even cognizant that they offended you, and makes the exchange unnecessarliy hostile.

Hostily breeds hostility, and is the death of exchange and understanding.

TL;DR There is no point in being hostile, and being hostile just ruins the point you want to get across, so fuck your cunt you shit eating cocksucker man eat a dong fucking mass ending shitfuck eat penis in your fuckface and shitout abortion of fuck and do shit in your ass you cock fuck shit monkey ass wanker from the depths of shit

You were at barnes and nobles dressed differently, with bows. I've seen a ton of weeaboos in cat ears at B&N, so that's probably exactly what he thought, looked again, realized they weren't actually cat ears, and exeunt stage left, pursued by spaghetti.

Actually, sage only goes in the em- well, the options field now. It probably "didn't go through" because sage is disabled on some of the boards where it was frequently used to just say "I don't like this lel sage".

Nothing like chancing bodily harm trying to take down a licence plate number. Besides, because he technically didn't do anything, the police wouldn't do anything with that information. I can't get someone arrested for being creepy and scaring the shit out of me.

This drove me absolutely insane. I got called a witch/gothic (no not goth, "a gothic") for black nail polish and occasionally a blue streak in my hair. Cue black nails suddenly becoming trendy and girls with all kinds of multi colored hair everywhere.

I'm sorry to break it to you but when you start wearing Japanese fashion in public you kind of are a weeb

The reason why I wanted to try wearing thigh highs was because of those cute Halloween costumes only the adults had in the Party City ads. I was like 8, thought the adult sexy costumes were super cute and was disappointed that the kids versions looked nothing like it (I didn't know about fetish stuff). Knowing this, my grandmother ended up buying a bunch of really good quality black cotton thigh highs from her China trip for me. I found them to be warm, they hid all my leg bruises, and the ZR looked cute.

It really wasn't until I got to high school before I found out it was weeb wear and that ZR was a major Japanese fetish because I didn't really watch anime back then (I do now though so people have a legit reason to brush me off as wearing weebshit I don't really mind or care now). Also found out that the socks on the adult costumes I liked back then were weak ass thin shit once I bought some on clearance sale.

>>8502867
Be thankful you got called a pokemon trainer, when I wore my socks "too high" I was told by a teacher that I look like a prostitute.

since this intellectual brought it up, all these "in public" threads have the same story over and over with slight variations:

>I wear (insert fashion) in public which makes me stand out.
>I get put on the spot for my decision and feel embarrassed/ uncomfortable/ creeped out.
>run to post about it, as if to receive a medal

Any fashion worn properly coordinated will get attention.
The difference is that you act surprised by the attention you draw to yourself. Embrace it and what comes with, or move on.

"They stared at my legs" - well you wore a skirt. (In countries where girls wear school uniforms, those girls dont notice this, or dont make a fuss about it. You're just not used to wearing them.)

"They were creeps" - wear normal clothes you're not cut out for this.

"They were mean" - dont take it to heart, dont read into it.

The "western mentality" goofballs wear a style and don't know how to deal with the attention.
Someone who does approaches it like an idol: smiling and being thankful, acting polite even to disrespectful people, since they don't expect that (and it shows who the better person is.)

There is a good story here and there, but one has to drudge through the same regurgitated story and its variants to find it.

>>8503147
>>8503165

I had totally forgotten but this thread jolted the memory; in school on a non-uniform day I wore knee-highs and a skirt because muh animes and Nippon Fashun.

A teacher notorious for getting a sixth former pregnant in the 80s commented something like 'that's a good sight, isn't it?' to a dinner lady. She responded something about it being inappropriate and I hurried into the library to escape.

I'd always defended him when people said he was a perv, but after that I couldn't. On the street I might expect it, but saying that to a 17 year old student in your own school is pushing it.

I super wish they weren't associated with sexual outfits because I love thigh highs, and I hate my knees.

>>8503284
People start these threads because they like reading the stories. This is the appropriate place for this discussion. If someone put this on their facebook or tumblr, or phoned me up about it, it would be a 'that's life' response. But this is literally a thread about these experiences.

Also, 'One has to drudge through the same regurgitated story and its variants' - calm down there Queen Vic.

>>8503291
>teacher notorious for getting a sixth former pregnant in the 80s
Wtf, how did he still have a job as a teacher?

You sound like one of those pompous assholes who love to hear themselves talk.

Aren't knee socks/OTKs just normie fashion now? Nearly every pair I have I've bought in local stores.

I know my coord is nitpick and that I'm a fatty-chan but at least it adds a bit of believability to the story. It's an unflattering photo but the only one I have.

> Be me at small local fair with charity stalls
> Go up to guy in dog suit for a high five

> Tries talking for longer and mentions that it's not slutty like other girls
> Leave to go win some wine at tombola
> Come back to stall later to see friends gran so she can look after the wine
> Dog guy is back but not in his costume
> Strikes up another awful conversation by starting to talk about my guy friends nail polish and my friends hotpants saying that he's seen it all before and that mine was the only new interesting outfit
> Gets creepy and nosy and asks personal questions about if we have girlfriends or boyfriends and general creepy things
> Leave to go back to friends house to drink wine in a shed and cry about creepy dog guy
> Want to go to cat stroking event because cats but he invited me and told me to wear something similar
> Friends gran says that he's a pedophile but they can't kick him out til he does something and that we can't to go that event in case he does

If the 6th former is 18 then she's just as responsible as him. A teacher at my school had a fling with a Year 13 with little to no consequences

>>8503327
At least in my country, a teacher is in a position of authority over his students and would be fired for having sexual relations with his pupils no matter their age.

>>8503284
You sound like someone who'd ask a rape victim what she was wearing that night.
Yes, random people on the street will be rude. No, you don't have to accept people losing their manners because you wear strange clothing.
If you wouldn't shout insults at a woman wearing jeans you shouldn't shout insults at a woman wearing a poofy skirt.
Weird fashions are not a free-pass to behave bad.

>>8503291
There is nothing wrong with knee high but this has reminded me of a weird one

>be 17 in sixth form attached to highschool, no uniform for us
>be allowed to wear full decora harajewkew with full support of lovely teachers
>have a supporting band of merry weirdos that had started to wear similar things
>one day working at a table, super chill lady teacher suddenly rushes me out of the room
>anon are you wearing a neon pink suspender belt with stockings? to school?

At the time I was angry and embarrassed that she had pulled me up about it, especially because quite unlike her she said something dumb like 'what do you think one of the boys will think about the message you're putting out?'. But looking back on it whilst she was great lady who supported anyone doing what they wanted with their body, she was also in a position of responsibility in a traditional school. If it had become a trend with the 13 year olds to wear them with their uniforms, she'd have gotten the blame for it. I wonder how teachers are dealing with the current nymphet trend.
>inb4 me saying something maybe isn't appropriate in school gets equated to me saying 'sluts really do ask for it'

>>8503291
>A teacher notorious for getting a sixth former pregnant in the 80s
I though this was a typo for sixth grader at first and was shocked they still let him teach. Read replies and realized it's just a non-American thing, and she could have been around 18... Still kinda skeevy, but not nearly as bad.

>>8503109

You know what I don't get? I see old guys in socks over their knees all the time and no one cares, but as soon as a cute girl does it, suddenly she's a weeaboo hooker.

What is it with the amount of SJWs, Tumblrites, feminists and casuals in this thread? Is this a summer thing or did something happen in the few months I didn't come here?

It's true, you have to accept the consequences of dressing in a certain way. Stop taking offense to every little thing.

>>8503731
And rude people have to accept the consequences of being rude. Namely, that people will complain about them whether to their faces or behind their backs.

>>8503858
Yes, but staring and catcalling is hardly rude.

>>8503865
That's extremely rude. You sound like an asshole.

>>8503872
Clearly it's subjective then, as both are compliments to me. You sound like a whiny brat.

>>8503872
No, it means you're attractive, accept the compliments, you tremendous faggot. I wish i got catcalled every once and then.

>>8503883

Do we have the same definition of catcalling? A simple compliment isn't a catcall. Catcalling is yelling rude, sexual comments at strangers. I like compliments, I don't like people yelling obscene things at me.
