Unpopular opinion thread

I'll start. It's absolutely fine not to wear a headpiece because lolita headwear is fucking ugly and costumey

[Anonymous No.10556356]

Unpopular opinion: lolita has evolved to become way too costumey, to the point where people look at perfectly fine toned down or casual coords and deem them ita. Full dress isn’t the only way to wear lolita and I’d love to see a casual resurgence.

>>10556313
Agreed but I feel like coords can look unbalanced without at least styled hair or some kind of accessory. Even just a beret or a faux flower or two is fine.

[Anonymous No.10556358]

>>10556356
Agreed.

I think lolita has become a better version of a cosplay contest. I wish it was a subculture instead of people throwing money to impress their comms. I'm sad that I couldn't join lolita when I was younger.

Like >>10556358 said, I feel like a lot of people jumped off the cosplay wagon when the predominant focus shifted from enjoying the characters to the hellscape it is today, and use lolita (specifically OTT) as a creative outlet instead.

My unpopular opinion is that while I appreciate indie, if your wardrobe is predominantly taobao there's a good chance your coordinates look more like a costume than an actual, wearable outfit.

Also I'm sick and tired of seeing taobao-chans in the classic lolita tag

wildly unpopular opinion, but as much as i hate wonderbitch and have since she was egl mod, i don't actually hate her coords. she's got some misses but overall they remind me of daily_lolita, from the coordination to the way she takes her photos, and it exudes nostalgia. especially lately, it reminds me of when we all used to have to rig up our clunky mid 2000s digital cameras with the self timer and take coordinate shots down a hallway, like theosakakoneko (pictured) and herajika used to do

This, which has also led to an emphasis on photogenic dresses as opposed to “good” or quality dresses. The truth is, a lot of really crap quality dresses look just fine on insta, so it pushes people to recommend and buy dresses that they can only really wear online because irl they look like shite.

piggybacking off of the social media takes with my own shit take: the extravagant insta-lolitas are ruining the fashion more than itas and conlitas do. Itas are just a visual nuisance who for the most part have no lasting effect on the fashion, whereas these instagram lolitas are pushing the boundaries of the fashion far beyond the fashion itself to the point where I don't even recognize some as lolita if it weren't for the tags. And when they do that they set a new norm of the fashion that becomes less and less obtainable/achievable with clothing FROM the actual fashion. Anything less than a theatrical outfit and a professional photoshoot becomes blah at best and ita at worst.

Personally I'm ok with ridiculous OTT as long as it's functional to wear out (i.e. not physically unsustainable/uncomfortable), but most of these looks would fall apart if you literally took two steps in them. Even if itas are poorly dressed and conlitas experience the fashion temporarily, they're still wearing it *out* as a fashion and not an art piece to be worn in a corner of a room for 5 min. I mostly follow gothic lolitas so my opinion is heavily biased but I feel like this could be applicable to sweet and classic too.

To end the shit take with another really shit take, a lot of insta goth lolitas look more "western goth" or nu goth/witchy and looks so far removed from gothic lolita in not a good way. Like, from a western goth perspective they look great, but from an egl perspective they don't have the right... silhouette? Idk, maybe its those awful pointy shoes replacing the og blocky shoes.

100% yes, I didn't even consider that lolita is going the way of cosplay. Not to get too ot but I occasionally do shitty cosplays with my friends for fun and jokes and it feels like there's less and less of cosplaying for joy nowadays thanks to social media (insta specifically), and that's how I feel about lolita. It's like the joy and fun is getting sucked out by these insta lolitas, literally to the point that I feel like I'm developing an ita lizard-brain mindset with my lolita fashion choices out of pressure (or spite) from these insta lolitas. Like at this point I'm happier if I see an ita that looks to be truly happy/enjoying themselves than the arthoe, stoic face, ~truly unique~ takes I see on insta. Imo for gothic lolitas this seems to extend to their attitude as well, idk how to pinpoint it but it feels like you're only in with gothic lolitas if you try ridiculously hard while pretending that you aren't? (idk how to word it, it's just a feeling) Not everyone wants to have a professional grade photoshoot for every outfit they do. Not saying I don't like gothic lolitas that do, I appreciate quality content, I just don't like that level of "professionalism" becoming the norm for a """""street"""""" fashion.

This. Both Lolita and cosplay experienced this transition, but it feels like it happened earlier with cosplay. When did it become all about some social media rat race? In Lolita, you’ll never even really get to the point where you’re making real money so what’s the point of it anyways?

I'm not going to give current examples for the obvious reason of derailing the thread with inevitable vendettaposting, just look to anyone with a substantial following that fits the aforementioned descriptions, it's not hard to find, especially amongst (western/american) gothic lolitas which is why they were my key point of reference.

>>10556806
I came into the fashion right at the start of the LACE drama so I missed out on the lj days, would it be another unpopular opinion to pinpoint that particular time period as the beginning of social media efame climb?

Also ANOTHER unpopular opinion on the collecting clothes for social media clout bit, I respect jahr more than these efame lolitas, even though jahr hoards (dunno if she still does) she keeps her passion to herself, like she doesn't buy for the sole purpose of insta worthy photoshoots only to resell later (which seems super common nowadays). At least that's how I see it, I understand I missed out on the lj context behind it all.
>>10556808
>What happened to the concept of doing things for yourself?
I feel like the lolita comm has always had trouble with this concept, as they act like everyone and everything is communal property. Back to jahr, people get unreasonably upset that she holds onto so much lolita and admittedly doesn't wear it, but this pandemic made me feel more sympathetic towards her, once I buy something it is my property, how I wear it or what I do with it is for myself, I don't owe the comm nice highly detailed aesthetically pleasing photos of what I buy, me wearing and enjoying the fashion is enough. I don't need to document it, especially when people treat it like a competition in originality.

>People can cry all they like about me being an elitist, but I just don’t get why someone would pay $100 for a taobao dress when they could just buy secondhand brand for that price.

Nayrt but I feel the same. My unpopular opinion I guess is that taobao seems like more trouble than it's worth to me. Compared to the convenience of buying locally from my comm or from places like WW/CC that ship directly to my door for like 30 bucks, it just seems like so much of a hassle. People always say it's elitist or now even somehow racist to not like taobao but I honestly just have no interest in going through the trouble of navigating a website in a language I don't understand, combing through thousands of listings to find a few very specific things and then having to hire an SS to buy it for me anyway, only for me to potentially not even like what I get.

If I buy a VM dress for example whether it's a brand new release or 20 years old I know what I'm getting in terms of design, fit, quality and wearability. With random taobao brands I always think to myself what if I end up going through all this effort to end up with a cheap dress that will hang in the back of my closet because there's no tailoring and the fabric only looks good on instagram. It's just a gamble I don't want to take.

Unpopular opinion: lolitas screaming the fashion has nothing to do with paedophilia/ageplay while at the same time wearing shit like dreamy baby room or the star toy necklace need to take a good hard look in the mirror because what the fuck. You're wearing literal toddler prints/accessories.

Wearing something isn’t the same as sexualizing it. Sweet lolita can be childish, but it’s not ageplay because it’s not a fetish. Huge difference.

My unpopular opinion is that I wish people would stop using the word “ageplay” to describe anything too childlike for their tastes. Just say childlike instead. It’s honestly fucked up that the first idea people get when they see something overly childlike is that it’s a fetish. Get your mind out of the gutter and stop sexualizing kids

Seeing ageplay and nazi bait downthread, I guess this thread is on it's way out already so might as well. Again, no current lolitas, and seeing some of the bitter anons picking at my comments means I probably did enough to warrant the wrath of american gothic lolitas. Herau was a good example of being too tryhard. I personally thought they looked cool, but not in a gothic lolita way at all, glueing dead bugs to ones face isn't functional, it's an art piece not clothing at that point. A bit of an extreme example as I haven't see anyone else glue bugs to their face, there are definitely bigger gothic lolitas who have that same style for the purpose of photos. Also, I figured you're probably being obtuse, because there's *a lot+ of lolitas on insta who stage photos professionally and definitely a lot of popular gothic lolitas that look more akin to western goth than gothic lolita (which was just a side note unpopular opinion I guess). So if you truly don't know any then you must not be following any american gothic lolitas. The art exhibit lolitas were just a good example of what I was trying to get across.

Ummm. There’s a whole ass sub culture of black people who believe that they are the real Jews and that white Jews are actually fakes who are depriving them of their natural birthright. There are also numerous cases of black celebrities quoting rhetoric from these groups and making super antisemitic comments. Black people are just as likely and capable of being anti-Semitic as any other group of people. Even racist. There’s a whole nother growing cultural movement that insists that black people are the real Native Americans, and that the actual enrolled tribal people are all “$5 Indians” and confused Asians. Don’t get it twisted, every racial and ethnic group has their fair share of weird twisted and radicalized sub groups, and it’s not more or less likely in any one category.

I mean a vast majority of European and American whites dislike/are prejudiced against Jews at minimum. The weird cult movements are not the majority of the population and most black celebrities who subscribe to that bullshit are irrelevant. And most black people don't think they're real natives, many of us typically claim to be mixed with it either to seem special, or because there are tons of cases of Natives mixing with black people but them just being considered black because of one drop rules and how they may have presented with darker skin.

I'm not saying whites are more capable of anti-Semitism. Just that black people on average tend to have less of it. Using a few cult fringe conspiracy theories to paint black people as anti-Semitic and therefore able to be Nazis, when Nazis also hated non Jewish minorities, doesn't hold much water. I think wearing Nazi stuff is bad in general, why spend money and being attention to shitty people? But at the same time I can see how people would find a black person liking an item like DW as far less indicative of a secret hatred of Jews and love for Hitler than a non Jewish white person wearing it. Still not great either way though.

Thanks for sharing; I genuinely have never been taught or exposed to any anti-Jewish beliefs by my family as a black person, or by other black people I know irl, only seen these things online. I have however met casually anti-Semitic white people all the time IRL so that is where my perspective was coming from. In Europe and the US tons of white people I knew casually believed in the idea that Jews secretly control the world and other stupid Nazi Qanon level shit far more than black people I've talked to. I know one of those studies is older and things change drastically as time goes on, so maybe it's older generations with those conspiracy theory beliefs. I also suspect mostly men believe in these theories, cause I usually see the majority of anti semitism coming from men in any race (ex: Nick Cannon said some of those shitty "black people are the real Jews" things with some radio guy, neo nazi and Klan types that are really active and out in the open typically being white men, etc.).

Like I said, wearing the shit is bad either way. And my opinions are based on my personal experience which is vastly different than other black people.

The thing is, people often call out whole ass groups of other people, or call out individuals for "profiting" off of the fact that their race has subverted or oppressed another. While this may be true, every race features some aspect of benefitting from attacking or subverting another group, and if you're gonna call out a white jew for benefitting from anti-black racism, you better be fully prepared to get schooled on black anti-semitism.

Sure she's below average looking, her apology video was spineless and dumb and some of her coords are ugly, but none of that is proportionate to how much hate she gets on here. I don't think any seasoned lolitas genuinely look to her for advice or inspiration so who gives a shit. She's just there.

I think most of her fans are normies and random weebs rather than lolitas. Lolita just isn't big enough in the west to sustain a following like she has, which is also why we have so few lolita content creators who actually make high quality stuff. Most lolitas either are inconsistent, boring or make potato quality videos and eventually give up because lolita is so niche. Lor studied film and then decided to make YT her job but everyone else does it more as a hobby, thus she is the only consistent one.

Even deerstalkers who made the most unanimously loved, high quality content in the community transitioned their focus towards cosplay because lolita just isn't that profitable. Before Tyler and a handful of others came along there was this gap for years where Lor was really the only one who made consistent high quality stuff, so she has the advantage of seniority. There were a couple of flash in the pan creators like Pixielocks and I think k8 and Fanny put out a few videos but for the most part it was just Lor who stuck with it. Consistency is really all she has going for her.

>I don't find her content to be even as interesting/watchable as Tyler's, and that's a low bar.
I assume that most of the lolitas who watch Lor just see her as inoffensive background noise, which she is. I doubt anyone who isn't new genuinely finds her content interesting or engaging. Tyler on the other hand brings more to the table (albeit mostly drama) but she has always been divisive and will be even more so since the recent drama.

I didn’t necessarily mean monetary profit, but in terms of audience growth and satisfaction making lolita content clearly wasn’t worth it to them.

This. Trying to make a living as a 'lolita influencer' the way Lor does sounds like shit. Most lolitas would rather get decent jobs that pay well or marry rich so they can afford their wardrobes full of brand instead of selling out and ending up with a wardrobe full of shitty devilinspired crap.

Also as time goes on I think youtube is getting less relevant as a platform. Everything happens now in short form content like ig stories, reels or tiktoks. Why would anyone waste their time, energy and resources in making creative and high quality long form content for youtube in 2021?

If anyone put half as much effort into the corporate ladder, they'd be paid 4x as much within a year. 10 years into this "influencing" with her being the most prolific and well supported creator and she still has to rely on shilling shitty devil inspired to make ends meet.

This. The amount of effort it takes to even approach 10k followers in lolita would get you much further in a career than it would in the fashion. And your coworkers generally won't dox you or tear your appearance apart.

I like Mei Yan even though she's not as popular as she used to be. She does more general jfashion and asian fashion but it really hearkens back to the early 2010s jfashion I used to enjoy.

I think if you become an influencer you need to capture a wide variety of audiences, so you end up either generalizing or subverting the subculture you became popular in. At least, this is what I've seen with most of the youtubers I follow. So I'd imagine while they would be influenced by lolita for instance, they wouldn't be wearing it all the time or if they did it would be a la mode.

Western lolita has taken it to the point where it is unrealistic to be able to wear it apart from in photos or at most at a con for 2-3 hours. Petticoats that are so heavy they hurt your back, headwear that needs to be adjusted every 2 seconds,very little ways to make a coord warmer unless you want to spend £100 on a cardigan.

This post has no logic. Just invest in a nice petticoat and if one petti is too heavy for you, lolita probably isn't the fashion for you. Try otome instead.

Don't wear anything on your head if it bothers you that much yeesh.

Buy secondhand. A cardigan costs like $60 max. secondhand. Or better yet buy from taobao, a cardigan costs $30 new there.

Who the fuck is calling toned-down coords ita unless they're ita, and why the fuck do you care?
If you're so bothered about what other people think, then fashion probably isn't for you, and social media definitely isn't for you.

I get that social media and posting coord shots is a major part of the community and OTT can be uncomfortable and unrealistic, but just don't do these things. No one is holding a gun to your head telling you to do it. If you don't want to, you don't have to anon, so stop whinging about it.

Also, OTT isn't western stfu. This take in particular always annoys me. Give credit where credit due, Japanese lolitas started the OTT trend, not us whiteys.

1. I don't care what anyone else does in the fashion, even if there are hoards of poorly dressed people what does it have to do with me? Even when a bad trend catches on it won't do 40 years of fashion, just disregard it.
2. Lolita looks like a costume to normies and that's fine.
3.Sissies and DDLG-ers are largely lolita boogeymen that the lolita community would be better off ignoring most of the time.
4. Its painful how many lolitas know nothing about fashion outside of lolita and I think it does a disservice to their coords in general and frequently cheapens the look.
5. Piercings and tattoos can be cute in lolita, its just that a lot of people with piercings and tattoos pick bad piercings and tattoos (or don't coordinate their jewelry with their outfits)
6. Coording isn't that hard, it shouldn't take people years to be a decently dressed lolita apart from the time it takes to collect pieces.

>>10559429
Nah just a shitty opinion I guess. But apparently not a wholly unpopular one considering how many surgeries there are to male eyes appear bigger.

I don't take people saying I look like a doll while wearing lolita as an insult at all, who wouldn't want to look like a victorian doll after all?

I know a lot of the hatred of being compared to dolls is because of "living doll" stuff. But honestly same anon. If I don't look like a doll then I'm not working hard enough

I'm not one of those "living doll" types at all, but it makes me happy when people say I look like a doll. It's a cute compliment, not to mention kind of what lolita is all about.

The only time I disliked when someone called me a doll, was when it was some weird trans -woman- who was alluding to my dress being a fetish thing. he told me that there was a specific group of people on the internet that i might be interested in because they liked that -kinky doll stuff-. Ugh

I’ve been really fucking confused about the DDZ witch hunt.
Like, I’m glad I never need to see her eyesore coords but idk how you can Justify her getting booted from CoF for “wearing nazi garb” when a CoF mods own the meta nazi set. Like either both or neither idk

Completely agree. None of those fucking nooblets understand industrial fetish culture, or even care that the outfit was literally from 10 years ago. You can cancel the girl, but you can't cancel Meta? She LITERALLY wore an ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCE COSPLAY. Are you virtue signaling with witch hunting because she's a "Nazi" or because she's a "Jew"?
This community never fails to amaze me with the sheer stupidity. You're falling for an agenda designed against you.

Has anyone noticed that he refers to the bedroom Tyler films in as 'her' bedroom? He's done it a few times, so many in fact that I don't think it's an accident.

I wonder if they sleep in separate rooms?

Unless they have a 3 or 4 bedroom house which isn't sooo out of the realm of possibility.

[Anonymous No.10560398]

uhhh considering they live in texas, having 2-3 bedrooms isn't a huge deal. i have "my bedroom" where i put all of my lolita stuff, too

[Anonymous No.10560399]

If you're naturally inclined to be stylish in normie clothes and understand color theory you will do just fine in lolita. You won't need much help to build a coord that works.

I think there's a lot of emphasis put on building a coord that it makes it seem daunting and scary. But I don't think that this is really useful advice for people who can put together nice outfits with normie clothes.

All the itas I see on CoF and in the IG tags I usually creep on their social media. And 9/10 times according to photos of them in normie cloths they can't make a well styled outfit.

And it's like oh honey, if you can't dress yourself in a t-shirt, jeans, with shoes or a cardi that matches or contrasts well enough there is no hope for you in lolita.

It's definitely cringe. I get major Pam and Cameraman vibes and not in a good way.
He talks like one minute into her newest petticoat video and I just couldn't watch it. I hated how Lor shoved her gf into every video but at least she had good camera presence.
I wonder if she stopped because of all the negative comments?

Yeah honestly i’d prefer them both to be gone lmfao
I think it’s tacky even if it’s ingrained in the raver/fet comm (plus I have a hate-on for fet communities anyways lel)
But its just so weird that the CoF mod gets asspats for her shit when like, she did the same thing in the eyes of the mob

honestly good on them if they do. my boyfriend and I having separate bedrooms is fantastic and I wish it wasn't so stigmatized. we both have our own space that we can spend time in, and can sleep in our own beds. but we also can sleep in each others rooms when we feel like it. not trying to pretend to be oppressed for it, but a lot of people get weirded out when they find out, because they assume it means that the relationship isn't going well. but in actuality its a big part of why our relationship is so healthy

My fiancé and I have separate bedrooms. We always sleep in his room because I took the bed out of “my room” (which was actually the spare room) because I needed to make room for an IKEA wardrobe for more brand. It started out as the closet not being big enough so I moved my dresser over to the spare room and put my clothes in that closet, but now it’s morphed and it’s definitely our separate spaces and when we (rarely) fight we go to our rooms and we have all of our own stuff in there and it feels really good and healthy to have a space to ourselves. I suppose back in the day it used to be the garage or shed for the man and the kitchen or laundry room for the woman where they would all have their private stuff that they didn’t want the other one to see, but times have changed. Our relationship is one of the healthiest I know because we know how to give each other space

Honestly this is exactly what I want, discussed the idea when my boyfriend brought up moving in together and he seemed supportive of it, I’m really introverted so I need my own space even from him and your set up just sounds like a dream, there’s nothing wrong with needing your own space anon, I’m happy for you and your relationship

I wear circles on a daily basis because they're more comfortable than my regular contacts for the first few hours and I rarely wear contacts longer than 4-5 hours anyway. I do really light makeup and no eyeliner, I think I look nice. But I don't usually wear super intense circle lenses. 100% eurotrash.

[Anonymous No.10560655]

>>10560653
Nayrt but I'm worried about your normal contacts. I don't think I've ever worn a pair of circle lens that even comes close to being as comfortable than my regular contacts. I can wear contacts for like 10+ hours too.

He seems like a daddy dom in most of them, the way he talks to her in a benevolently patronising voice like she's a bratty little. Creeps me out just slightly. I assume she's into ddlg - her having her own bedroom, him calling it her room, most littles have their own room if at all possible because it makes ddlg roleplays more immersive. Plus the way she witch hunts ddlg people in the community, thou dost protest too much basically.

[Anonymous No.10560660]

>>10560655
My normal contacts are more comfy if I'm gonna be wearing contacts for 4+ hours. The circles I wear have a higher moisture content which is why they're more comfortable for the first few hours. Also they're not super huge in diameter so they're not covering very much of my sclera at all. I use neo vision brand circles and biofinity clear contacts.

It was a struggle to get through that petticoat review, the review was over in the first 5 minutes and the rest was just awkward banter, I’m happy she’s with someone interested in the fashion but jeez, guy needs to learn to shut the fuck up for 5 minutes and know when his stupid fucking jokes aren’t appreciated in a fucking product review video, you can see the look in her eyes as well that it annoys her too

Putting together good coords is really not hard at all and shouldn't be treated like some major accomplishment.

No. There are plenty of perfectly chill headpiece options that don't involve the equivalent of literally putting a cake on your head. Lolita never looks complete without a headpiece, you need one to balance it all out.
