No one looks good with blonde hair. I have no idea why it is fetishized so much. Take a look at every blonde who has dyed their hair darker, they always look better.
No. 292757
>>292745This. I only looked attractive as a bleach blonde when I did my makeup. As a dark brunette I found I could get away with little to no makeup.
Blonde without makeup I looked washed out and shit. Unless you wear makeup allllll the time or happen to be an extremely pale albino type with natural features that compliment blonde hair (aka someone like Tilda swinton), blonde doesn't suit that many people. It looks ridiculous with dark features. Black eyebrows and blonde hair only works if a) you are cosplaying as kaleesi or b) you have streaks or roots or something indicating it's not your natural colour or c)you are trying to achieve a weird model runway look with dark eyebrows and light hair.
But yeah I totally agree anon. It looks shit on majority of peeps. I hate how dudes will automatically gravitate towards a blonde and sometimes it doesn't even matter how attractive she is. A friend of mine would always get ignored over her platinum blonde friend when they went out drinking, even though she was the more attractive one in my opinion. They automatically think blonde equals easy
No. 292769
>>292759My partner tends to favour brunettes which is super rare because 2 guys I dated prior were weirdly obsessed with blondes to the point that one of them even insisted I bleach my hair. (I didnt)
All the girls my current partner seems to think are attractive I've noticed are very dark haired women like Eva Green. I will say how pretty certain blonde actresses are and he doesn't seem to care whatsoever. He reckons Jlaw and Emilia Clarke both look hotter as brunettes. The only one that we have a mutual agreement on that she looks better as a blonde is Scarlett Johanson. She looks good as a brunette and redhead but blonde suits her in my opinion.
Oh and by the way this is when we are watching movies and commenting on the actors looks randomly, not me being insecure and asking him how pretty they are or anything like that, just to clarify.

We as women should collectively shame mothers who do this kind of thing. It's bad for the kid and the sperm donor, and it makes us look like untrustworthy greedy cunts. It's insanely selfish to have a kid when the father doesn't want anything to do with it, and disgustingly selfish to expect him to pay you for 18 years just so you could get what you wanted (a baby and the attention that comes with it).

No. 292796
>>292794>I'm a girl>women only get pregnant for attention!!Uh okay
As you said, both are responsible, but you're trying to claim the man is 100% not responsible at all if he doesn't choose to be, women pay the price either way, so why shouldn't men? They both had a part in baby making therefore they both have a part in child-raising
>>292795This. Men tend to be extremely manipulative, they'll play the "oh don't worry baby I'll take care of this" card, walk out at last minute and of course people mob-shame the woman
No. 292802
>>292779I'm sorry that biology is unfair, but men will never have to run the risk of pregnancy or ever being pregnant, the fact that it changes your body forever, can absolutely wreck your emotional health, and often times lead to death. So men can deal with paying for child support.
If a man is 100% confident that he never, ever, ever wants to have a child and be a father, then it is his responsibility to use a condom during every sexual act, get sterilized, and make sure that every woman he sleeps with is on the same page as him when it comes to a potential accidental pregnancy.
If a man doesn't want to do any of those things because "but what if she doesn't want to have sex with me after :(" or "but i hate how condoms feel", then he shouldn't have sex. Period, end of story.
Except in instances where a woman deliberately lied or messed with her birth control (which is EXTREMELY rare, despite what MGTOW say), I have zero sympathy for men who whine about child support.

It seems like the internet became much more homogeneous around 2011-2012 with very popular sites that have millions of users like youtube, twitter, tumblr, facebook, instagram, etc. reaching a critical mass in size and influence. It doesn't help that Google and other popular search engines have skewed search results towards sites that pay them in ad revenue or whose owners have registered with Google Plus. I miss typing something into search and finding offbeat small forums and weird personal blogs related to the subject. I found a lot of cool websites, some of which I still visit today, that way.
I wish forums would make a comeback as a popular style of website. There don't seem to be any large and active ones under five years old. The loosely moderated back and forth you'd get with people and some of the eccentrics they'd attract was a ton of fun.

>>294600nta but lorelai is so needy and codependent. relies on her daughter for emotional support even though she has other adult female friends, always jumping from man to man to help make her life easier even if she's not actively in love, and instead of just distancing herself from her parents because she's an adult, her attitude is like "ughhhh i'm struggling it's because you didn't support me enough growing up :/ oh but i don't want your HELP though! god! don't you know i'm an independent inn owner despite all the odds?! muh inn muh teenage runaway years" it's not that it isn't relatable and sympathetic, it definitely is, but yeah a little pathetic.

>>294607i thought lorelai was kind of bratty but a good mother tbh. i don't think she was that desperate for a man. it seemed like just kept them around for attention but kept them relatively distanced tbh.
and what was cucky about logan? he was skeezy, if anything. not cucky at all, imo. though i think rory has the charisma and charm of a moldy manilla folder, rory deserved waywayway better than all of her bfs.
what REALLY pissed me off about gg, tbh, was the way rory was constantly praised for being so talented, but we were literally never shown any of her talents or even really developed an emotional connection to her at all, or at least, i didn't. she had very little personality. emily and lorelai were both lively and multi-faceted women (that were such great characters), and rory was just… there, but received 1000000x more praise and admiration than emily or lorelai despite being such a bore. she was the most flat character with no passion for anything but 'reading' (allegedly) to the point where we couldn't go thru an episode without hearing from everyone in stars hollow and everywhere else, about how she's the second coming of christ. there was no excitement in her voice about anything, really. you'd think she'd had clinical depression, ffs.
also kind of annoyed me the way they made it seem like rory was such an underdog child when realistically, her grandparents would've done anything for her and lorelai (even if not on ideal terms). most 'poor' underprivileged children and grandchildren don't have a cushion of literal multimillionaire parents and grandparents that will do anything for you to fall back on.
i remember emily said once about her (about some scholarship or s/t) "no one could deserve it more than rory!!!" like, just, so ridiculous and delusional.

Rory was always a spoiled brat to me. She always got everything she wanted, her personality was literally just looking cute and she always got away with everything because she's sorry about messing up/ didn't know any better. I mean she slept with another girl's husband KNOWING he was married and was then made a victim because the guy's mother-in-law was pissed at her and Lorelai defended her because look at how sad about it she is! Then her grandparents bought her everything she wanted because she was a good girl, let her NEET around at their place because she's just "trying to find herself", she got everything she wanted and she was still unhappy.
Meanwhile Paris was always the butt monkey of the show yet she ended up being ten times more successful because she's not a little bitch.

>>294633tbh i dont see anything wrong with NEETing it up if you don't know what you want, the problem is that she never appreciated anything, really, and went out of her way to ruin shit for other people, then act like such an innocent victim all of the time. and seriously, if rory was just an average tubby girl everyone would've been telling her what a worthless, boring sack of shit she is/was, but her entire personality was literally "she likes reading and is so cute ^.^".
>>294637glad they called her out for being a shitty person, but this is such a dumb theory and these two are super stupid for not seeing that rory didn't even seem remotely perfect in the original series. she was worse in the original series, even, imo. she was fraught with flaws, imo, to the point of aggravation, they just never framed it like that bc she was supposed to be the cute, baby genius shy girl. fuck, even april, as insufferable as she was, had more personality to her. rory seemed like such a huge mary sue, but instead of for like, male attn, just, attention and praise in general.
is there a tv thread? would anyone like a thread for gilmore girls or tv or something? tbh i love gg and there's so much to dissect imo. i especially want to talk about that fuuucking ending that was soooo formulaic and painful, esp to think ASP apparently had those "four words" in mind from the beginning of the series. so anti-climactic and predictable and just, ran counter to everything rory was supposedly about.

Its not anybody’s job to “check up” on other peoples mental health issues. I hate how when somebody commits suicide they always turn to the persons loved one for not picking up and it and asking if they are okay.

Even his wife says his suicide had nothing to do with depression. He was down because his body was literally DESTROYING itself! If he could feign being better he would've, but physically he couldn't.

Since I stopped browsing fandom boards, tags etc. I'm feeling so much better about the stuff that I like. I recommend this to you too if you do not feel like looking for tumblr feminist sjw ~omg slay queen~ blogs which never shut up about real and perceived misogyny in the fandom and the show/game/whatever itself.

Good thing that I rarely buy make-up so at least I do not contribute much to human/animal abuse for non-necessities. I will take a cruelty free make-up over a brand that tests on animals.
I am aware that many items that I own like computer parts or clothes could be produced in ls than ethical ways, so don't misread this as me claiming to have a high ground (which I don't).
Animal testing is horrifying and disgusting to me, every time I read about some cases I have a hard time sleeping at night. I can't help but think how awful it would be to do the same things to humans… and animals suffer as much…

>Why the need to define people as gay? Uh, because we exist. I’m gay. 100% gay. Always have been, always will be. I’ve known since I was 7, and was told what the word meant. Yes, there are a lot of bi and pan people out there, but there are also A LOT of gay people.
But why accept being defined as only one aspect of oneself??
>Why would they only be defined by one aspect if they were gay? That doesn’t make any sense.
>Why do you need to define them as only straight?
for honesty
>Because representation matters, Frank.
Yes it does. When it's honest representation
>it's important for characters to be explicitly declared queer, because the mainstream will code them straight by default
Agreed. When a character is created to be queer it is indeed important that the character be known as such. It is also important when a character who was not created queer, be accepted as such.

I don’t have anything against genuine trans people or using their preferred pronouns. What I do have a problem with is that there are so many psychotic creeps who call themselves trans and use it as an excuse to fetishize, invade others’ spaces and put others in actual danger just so they get to feel morally superior and immune to criticism lest they screech bigot.
Basically I don’t have anything against transgenderism itself or genuine trans people who just want to live their life and don’t hurt anyone; I just hate the (plentiful) rotten eggs and transtrenders.

>>297189they're goddamn kids show puppets holy shit. they're not defined as any sexuality. it's not like they talk about going over to zoe's apartment for a booty call either. great and all that this guy supposedly ~knew he was gay~ since he was 7 but most children have no idea what their sexuality will turn out to be, even if there are clues, so they don't need muh representation. in fact, i'd argue that the constant barraging of "are you gay? are you pan? it's fine if you are! super brave and courageous if you come out immediately. so what are you???" from a young age is why so many teenagers identify as asexual now. back in the day, if you didn't really have sexual thoughts or desires yet, you were just considered you know, not ready? now if you're late on your mandatory coming out assignment you just automatically pencil in ace.

It gets annoying and weird when it's done in a way like Steven's Universe. Romance doesn't isn't common in kid's cartoon, nor do I feel like it has a place, so having the two gems that are garnet or whatever kiss and have a wedding and shit is weird.

im not saying she should be an angel tbh, because its a very specific modeling niche those girls typically fall into, but as for her just being a model and actress its fine and your discomfort with seeing someone with down syndrome is pretty akin to someone thinking their discomfort with seeing a poc is a valid excuse to keep that person from getting jobs where they are visible people

>>298001The downs syndrome persons who make it into media like that are more high-functioning than most with their condition. Meaning it's a complete fluke and something the adults in their lives supported them into doing to feel better about their otherwise bleak existence.
I had a distant cousin with downs who lived into his 50s with the mentality of a 3 year old. He was prone to violence, unpredictable, and had a 6'0 man's body; mostly non-verbal and only knew simple words. Also he needed constant care because he was a toddler in a man's body. He would often clobber his parents. When I visited once or twice my mom would tell me to behave, and to try not to upset him. It was very uncomfortable and intimidating.
Yet they put up with it because back in the day it was either deal with your developmentally disabled child, or throw the child into a neglectful gov't home where they'd probably mysteriously die young.
Anyway, I find modeling to be such a subjective joke that I do think putting a downs syndrome person on stage like that is harmless (But Victoria's Secret, lol really? The brand known for subjugating women is gonna cape for an unattractive, mentally disabled girl ha. ha. ha.). If people don't want to see her, then they can simply tune out.
What bothers me is when people try to force these developmentally disabled people into private spaces. How about this piece of news where a campus is getting backlash because none of the sororities took on a downs girl during rush?
>https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/university-cheerleader-with-down-syndrome-denied-from-every-sorority-on-campus/ar-BBNwPjuThey're calling this pressure for others to unconditionally accept the mentally disabled "neurodiversity."
I don't even like Greek life, but how is it helping the plight of people with downs to bully other people into accepting them when they do (rightfully) have concerns about letting someone with literal retardation into their spaces? What does that do to deescalate the fear and discomfort? And what if she didn't get picked like how other normal girls didn't get picked? Why
should everyone accommodate every disabled person all the time or they're jerks?
It's getting out of hand.

>>298040nope if i was comparing the physicality it would be different, but the comparison is literally in how someone is using their "discomfort" with seeing someone who isnt like them in media

there is no difference in saying >i am uncomfortable when people with down syndrome are visible human beings and saying >i am uncomfortable when someone who is a different race than i am is a visible human being
america wouldnt even allow poc to play their own fucking race in movies, television, and musicals and STILL have a problem doing so
its the same shit as having able bodied people play disabled characters in the media because they want to profit from their stories but are >uWu uncomfy seeing an actual human being with those disadvantages on their tv

there are models with down syndrome, and its perfectly fine
nobody ever whines about being an ~uncomparable victim~ unless poc are brought up as if 50 years ago poc werent literally looked at the EXACT same way people still look at people with down syndrome
being compared to monsters and animals and stereotyped with inhuman features
anybody with a brain in modern society knows poc are not deformed but youre deflection from my point of comparison in the way society has and continues to treat people who are born socially disavantaged, is very telling in that its more acceptable to just shrug off discrimination against the disabled because it makes people uncomfortable
No. 298078
>>298058Nta but we can assume that a person of color, a woman, or an unattractive human is mentally competent to perform the jobs laid for them most of the time.
A person with a severe disability may not always be able to do so. I agree that nobody should blanket statement every person with downs because some are high-functioning and can perform certain tasks.
However, that doesn't mean every disabled person will be a boon to the work environment. Therefore there is reason for uncertainty as opposed to discriminating against someone for a mental illness that's functional and common say, like depression.
Anyway
>all this talk about aesthetic and who qualifies to model whatWhy even bother with this argument? You know you farmers are going to have differing opinions on it anyway and that's beside the point.
How about the hypocrisy of these people for wanting everyone to look past a down syndrome woman's appearance while she wants to model for a company that is known for preying upon other women's appearances and nary choosing women to model for them who aren't bodily flawless?
C'mon, there's bigger issues to unpack there.
No. 298083
>>298078sure but the point was that the anon is saying NO ONE with down syndrome should be a model or actor and that there is an attempt to normalize it

No. 298091
>>298088I really hate to be the one to say this, but racial issues are about making judgements towards people over things that don't actually exist. Races don't have differing mental capacities or anything. People with mental disabilities do actually have differing mental capacities. A model with downs requires extra care and support while a black model does not.
These things aren't even comparable anyways. Sure these people do need compassion, but they don't need equality in this way. Throwing them into cut-throat industries known for abuse, assault and general shittiness is not positive.
No. 298106
>>298077here's the point though, judging negatively a POC because of their looks or their "physicality" is very often uncalled for. Meanwhile, being even mildly disturbed by the physicality of someone with down syndrome is normal because they're really deformed, have the maturity of a child even when they're high functioning, speak like toddlers for the most part, have a bunch of physical health problems, etc. and you can guess all of that in less than a second. So the comparaison is stupid in the first place, and potentially insulting. Not just talking about modeling here, bu you comparing a group of people who can barely do shit and it's obvious by just looking at them and they can only work thanks to quotas that can force some companies to hire disabled people, to a group of people who can, for the most part, work and are sometimes only prevented from that because of racists recruiters. My point here IS about being judged by looks too.
From my very short professional experience, working with someone with down syndrome is fucking hell on earth, and I'm talking about a high functioning guy and a very simple job. Hope I'll never have to go through that again, it was like being a babysitter while doing my actual job. I can't even imagine why they picked this girl to do something like modelling half naked in front of people and cameras, she can't possibly consent to that and the modeling industry doesn't seem very safe for someone like her.

Almost every male autistic and sperg I've ever known was a self-centered shit with a bad attitude. Worse yet is that they usually have parents who dismiss their bad behavior due to the 'tism so they grow up thinking their selfish behavior is a-okay and fuck how they treat others.

I work in the Games Industry and studied Games Development at college and Uni and those were honestly filled to the brim with Autists (no surprise)
When i was in college i was thrown into a class with a guy that claimed he was "high Functioning" but was the exact opposite. He would stop whole lectures to make someone sit next to him and explain in full detail what he needed to do for his assignments when it was already babied out for everyone. I normally wouldn't mind but this guy went out of his way to slow down everyone else's learning just so he could get the spotlight and scream about how he can't read this word or can't spell that word. I have no idea how he got onto the class to begin with.
I once got took into a meeting about my attitude towards the guy because I was top of the class and refused to give him my notes, because there were, well mine. I explained to the lectures that if this were the real world he wouldn't be getting babied as a "high functioning autistic" and he'd be expected to do his own damn work without hindering anyone else. I was legitimately told that I was a bully and should be ashamed because he is different and I need to accept that.
I was later put into a group project with him where he point blank refused to do any work because he didn't understand it and I spent many sleepless nights working my ass off to finish it by myself and he got all the ass pats for it. He even started to say sexual things about my body and when I complained about the treatment I was pushed off because "muh autism i can't help it"
TLDR: People should stop giving high functioning autistics the world because when they're expected to do their own shit they turn into giant man babies and pull the disability card to get whatever they want.

The guy in my class would get the bus to college and do everything all by himself while others who were also autistic (further down on the spectrum if you will) needed extra help with the simple stuff. Funny enough those who needed extra help were very kind and easy going.
I just really hate people like that guy who label themselves as high functioning and act all high and mighty about it yet act worse than those who really do need help and are nice people despite their disability. It really annoyed me to see these good kids get a bad rep with other students because of one greasy autistic that refused to sit and listen quietly to a lecture and couldn't keep his filthy hands off women.

I feel like I'm going to get some backlash for this post, but I think people who make a constant habit of complaining about J-fashion being too childish (I don't mean just thinking to themselves "That's a bit too childish for my taste, I would not wear that" or "That person looks bad, their clothes are so cutesy that it highlights how haggard they actually are" and moving on, but getting in a mood and feeling the need to gripe about others dressing like 12 year olds whenever they see pastel colors or a ribbon or something) are probably more concerned with convincing the world around them of their own maturity than anything.
Like, I never see kids wearing shit like pic related (actual kids seem to either wear bright graphic tees with pants, or mini versions of adult normie clothes), I see skinny young adults/college students and 16 year olds (at youngest) with expendable income doing it. There's just a lot of femininity without any real sexualized aspect involved, which may read as childish to some people, but I don't see why "cute" would necessarily translate to "for kids only". A more sensible criticism would be that it looks too costumey, like something a fictional character would wear, but it's always down to age and maturity for some people, which strikes me as odd. It's like they assume being an adult means either keeping clothing very toned down, inoffensive and/or near-androgynous, or at least somewhat sexualized and cut to give the illusion of an hourglass figure or cleavage. It doesn't have to be like that. Adulthood is a stage in life and physical makeup, not a singular set of aesthetics. Adults dress and present in all sorts of ways (including obnoxiously and flamboyantly) because they have the means to do so. You can't reverse your age with clothing.

>>298596Nobody rips on people for being childish with an outfit like that. Its when people like venus are wearing things that are obviously childrens clothes (like some tshirts she wears ) or wearing things like bonnets and cutesy bear/cat clips that are obviously marketed towards little girls.

>>298597Children's characters are often designed by adults, based on what they believe would catch children's eyes, and be obviously discernible from adult characters. It doesn't usually translate to actual children's clothes (aside from Halloween costumes), because they're usually too over the top, not comfortable to kids, impractical for children's playing, eating and getting dirty, etc.
It doesn't sound too weird, IMO, for an adult to think "Man, I really liked this character design from a book/cartoon/fairy tale I still feel nostalgic about. Now that I'm a grown woman with an existing taste for things that are flamboyant/theatrical, and don't have childish concerns (like fabric being too tight, itchy or getting covered in cake or cereal) I can dress like I'm from a fantasy", and working based on that.

It doesn't usually translate to actual children's clothes (aside from Halloween costumes), because they're usually too over the top, not comfortable to kids, impractical for children's playing, eating and getting dirty, etc. okay? obviously? i've said that. but what does that have to do with what i've said? the fact is that the emotional and visual connection is there and that it looks like an outfit a child's character would wear, point blank. like, a character that is also a child, not just any fantasy character – specifically those that are children.
>It doesn't sound too weird, IMO, for an adult to think "Man, I really liked this character design from a book/cartoon/fairy tale I still feel nostalgic about.

i think most people typically want to dress like pic related and think that's generally more appropriate because again, it doesn't look like you're trying to cosplay a child's character. the styling in that pic you posted, and in a lot of lolita bullshit, is often the same type of shit: childlike hairstyles, childlike hairclips, socks with heels, etc, etc.

Some clothes are made for young adults who actually look their age, yes. People looking their age and being able to pull off things that aren't targeted at those in the 30s+ crowd doesn't make them child-like ageplayers. It just sounds like, again, you have a warped idea of adulthood and what an adult is supposed to look like.
You said it was childish because of the people who can't pull it off, and I already explained why that's silly. Just because you or someone else can't fit into a sweater or a pair of leggings, or their colors happen to bring out the worst features in your face, doesn't mean they're objectively bad and for little babies.

I wasn't part of this convo until now, but this is literally the first line of wikipedia's article about lolita:
>Lolita (ロリータ・ファッション rorīta fasshon) is a fashion subculture from Japan that is highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian children's clothing and styles from the Rococo period.And further down:
>History>Although the origin of the fashion is unclear, it is likely that the movement started at the end of the 1960s with the fashion style and subculture Natural Kei, which romanticized the Victorian Period. At the end of the 1970s, this resulted in a new movement known as Otome-kei, which slightly influenced Lolita fashion since Otome means maiden and maiden style looks like a lesser elaborated Lolita style. Before Otome-kei emerged, there was already a rise of the cuteness culture in the earlier seventies; during which there was a high emphasis on cute and childish handwriting in Japanese schools.Plus the name… makes denying that it is influenced by kid's clothing rather difficult, no?

Not liking something, or thinking it looks funny is not the same as insisting only 12 year olds wear it. I wasn't talking about people who just think it's ugly.
The rest of your point is, like you said, an opinion. No point in trying to argue about taste. If all wearers look old and shitty to you, that's you.
>Lolita (ロリータ・ファッション rorīta fasshon) is a fashion subculture from Japan that is highly influenced by Victorian and Edwardian children's clothing and styles from the Rococo period.This is what I've been saying, actually. It's Victorian-based fashion, while others claimed it looks like ageplay.
>Plus the name… makes denying that it is influenced by kid's clothing rather difficult, no?The name isn't "organic", it came from the person who made it semi-popular (Mana) using it in combination with a girl's name that sounded suitably edgy/dark.
If you've read or watched Lolita, the aesthetic and time period is wrong for the fashion, as well.

The fashion and the book are separate, and the fashion existed before it was given the name "Lolita", which is, again, an unfitting misnomer.
If you knew what clothing in both time periods looked like, you would not be conflating the two. Lolita was not written as a Rococo-era piece.
Actual Lolita-based fashion would be that Tumblr "nymphet" thing, and it looks nothing like the pics ITT.
No. 298700
>>298695if this is too confusing for you, let me simplify it
>lolita complex means little girl complex, which was derived from the book>lolita fashion uses the term lolita from lolita complex>lolita fashion means little girl fashionso it's not so much that mana named it after the book, but he named it after lolita as used in a japanese context. it's not that hard, mana didn't pull the term from nowhere, the term lolita complex became popular right before he decided on that term for his fashion. lolita was designed around looking like creepy porcelain dolls anyways
No. 298705
>>298701Because Mana (or whoever else coined it) is a dumbass who probably never read the book himself to understand that it wouldn't fit, but thought it sounded cool and that it fit the dark/innocent motifs.
>>298700>lolita fashion uses the term lolita from lolita complexThis is where you're wrong, or it would've been called "Lolicon kei" or "Lolicon fashion".
>lolita was designed around looking like creepy porcelain dolls anywaysWhich has pretty much nothing to do with pedo shit, and more to do with looking like something out of a gothic portrait or film.
>>298703>mana wasn't the first to use the word, it was already being usedHe was, for the clothing style.
No. 298706
>>298702Anyone who thinks Mana didn't take the term from "lolicon" is in denial. Even Japanese lolita admit it. Sure, he didn't take it from the book, and no it's not supposed to be nymphet shit, but he didn't invent the term. Just search this stuff on girlschan, only
triggered western lolitas deny this shit.
No. 298711

>>298710anon, please try to listen. i'm saying that he took the word lolita, which was already used to mean little girl, and applied it to the fashion. no one is implying it is a lolicon fashion, just that he thought that word was cool and it already carried the connotations he had in mind. also yes,
>>298691 is saying that mana just used an edgy girl's name randomly. it's the biggest knee-jerk reaction from lolitas to say the term was pulled out of mana's ass.
all i'm trying to say is that lolita already meant little girl, not that the fashion has to do with lolicon.

>saying that mana just used an edgy girl's name randomly.Why do you think it's edgy? Because of the subject matter. The issue is the lack of relation to the fashion except to those unfamiliar with the actual content of the book and films.

>but Mana likely though the term lolita, when used to refer to little girls, sounded coolSo, exactly what I said here:
>The name isn't "organic", it came from the person who made it semi-popular (Mana) using it in combination with a girl's name that sounded suitably edgy/dark.I wasn't claiming he invented the term, I was saying he coined it
as the name of the fashion. If you agree the fashion isn't based on the book
or pedo shit, there's literally nothing to argue about.
No. 298724
>>298716i'm not that anon, but i see how you may be confused. i don't think mana got it from the book. i don't think the fashion is based on the book or lolicon, but i think the name is definitely based on lolita as from lolita complex, because the term lolita was circulating at the time he coined the name. it's not a coincidence.
the name doesn't mean it's based on any of those things, but a lot of lolitas plug their ears when you try to mention that the name is based on anything.

>>298853That's not really what I mean. It's the sort of things that's good on paper but if literally nobody aborts their down syndrome fetus, that would mean way more dependent people to take care of, which means more money to spend on them, and most likely the same amount of money coming from taxpayers or more, which means more taxes to pay, etc. But as I said, I don't know about the Netherlands' situation when it comes to healthcare.
Sure, free healthcare for disabled people is great and all but combine that with what her friend said (or yours, idk if that was your post):
>I believe the Netherlands encourages women to abort if they're fetus is very likely to be born with down syndrome. The friend or a friend told me that it's wrong and all babies are beautiful.>it's wrong and all babies are beautiful.Then that's fucking stupid.

I used to get this father and (adult) son that came into my shop a lot and at first i didn't know how to react. He would shout at nothing and get violent if he didnt get the toy he wanted at the register. You can praise the parents for having patience to deal with that, but in the end, you know they're suffering inside and made a terrible decision.

I don't get why so many anons are losing their shit over people abusing animals. Yes it's horrible, but you do realize that exactly the same nasty shit is done to women and even children every single day as well?
But if it's animals suddenly everybody cares and "feels like crying". If somebody kills a child it's tragic, but if e.g. that one tranny from a few days ago shoots his chihuahua he's a psycho who should get the death penalty. Not because he killed his own parents, no, because he killed an animal.
I wish people would care more about humans.
You might say this belongs in the dog hate thread, but just as an example; people seem to care more about animals starving than human's starving. Why is that?
No. 298973

>>298998I know the whole "sorry, English is not my first language" thing can be annoying, but from an ESL perspective a lot of the kids that write that are just out of hs, where they learn English, and are just beginning to post on the English speaking side of the internet after a couple o years of lurking. Their English might seem fine but I can bet a lot of them google a lot of spellings and grammatical structures before posting a simple Youtube comment, so I can understand why they would feel paranoid that their English is still not good enough to communicate with natives.
tl;dr:
ESL kids often feel very anxious about typing in English and adding a disclaimer to their comments calms them down.
No. 299160
>>298957I personally care about both people and animals.
It's easier for people to stan for animals because there's a label that they are all unconditionally innocent and helpless, like babies, regardless if it's actually true or not. I've noticed when something happens to an older child, teenager, or adult, a lot of people are stingy with the empathy because they always assume the victims are not 100% innocent. "Hungry? Then why doesn't that homeless eat a can of dog food," and the issue is looked at no further.
It's just easier to love an entity that someone can project their feelings onto and can't talk back. People feel big for doing small things for animals because to help a human requires so much more.
In your example, it's easier to give a dog a $1 can of food because the dog can't articulate that maybe it didn't like the food, that it's still hungry, the reason why it's unable to procure food of its own, and by the way it needs more food later.
Imagine if animals could talk and express
gasp ingratitude, insatiability, laziness, and greed.
No. 299171
>>299166NTA, but humans have proven to be shit time and time again. They can't even be nice to each other if their skin doesn't match colors (or even if it does), talk less of other species or the environment. We serve no real purpose to our surroundings or the global "system" the same way other animals do, we just take up resources, shit up the air and make the world a worse place for everyone (even ourselves).

It's difficult to state something like this because then you get asked, "Well, why don't you kill yourself?".
But I think a lot of people share the same opinion.
There's the edgy Pentti Linkola. However, he lost my respect when I learned that he had kids since he's the one preaching against having them.
I think the closest to reality was Ted Kaczynski because he wanted the pre-industrial society.
Without the postindustrial technology and advancement, the humankind could keep itself in check numbers-wise.
I hate the consumerist society today which only makes the environmental crisis worse.
And while I can recognize many benefits in the field of medicine, science in general etc., I don't think the majority of people deserve them, including me.

They constantly reblogged anti-white shit on their blogs, for example "2018 is the year we come for white women". When I spoke up to them about this hurting me since I thought we're friends and well, I am definitely white, they always said that they aren't talking about me, they only mean white Americans etc. The thing is, only one of them was American to begin with. Why is an Asian woman in Asia so vocal about e.g. white people being overrepresented on American TV? I highly doubt that her country is any better in that aspect.

Some annoying fat white girl I know was casually talking about how she was going to learn Farsi to get a better job after graduation. I commented that Farsi speakers were rare for a reason. She said it was because people hate brown people languages because it makes you sound like a terrorist.
No, you dipshit, it's because Farsi is a difficult as fuck language to learn. It doesn't have to be about racism. It's not easy to learn another language, even Spanish, which is probably the easiest language for an English speaker to learn. I bet this bitch would love to lecture me about racism even though I'm not white and I'm bilingual. (I'm working on Spanish and am going to be bilingual soon too)
I hate it when people act like they can casually learn a new language. This includes the time when some Mexican guy said that he would learn Arabic easily because it and Spanish are in the same language family. The ignorance is palpable, because Arabic is not even an Indo-European language. I didn't want to press on too much, especially because he would probably call me racist for not believing him.

I hate anyone who attacks people of other races under the guise of "not being politically correct" or "having free speech", only to lose their shit when anyone says anything about their race.
It's always ridiculous how wide the gap is in either group's "humor", too.
>"So-and-so race are LITERALLY subhuman, every criminal of so-and-so race is a representative of that race. Look at this video of people of so-and-so race behaving badly! Typical so-and-so race behavior, amirite? Look at these dehumanizing comparisons between so-and-so race and animals. Here are some twisted, incorrect interpretations of science, statistical data and history, as well as obsolete skull graphs from the 1700s. No more political correctness. Haha, people of so-and-so race from this country died? Good riddance, fucking animals. I will repeat this comment on as many videos pertaining to this incident as I can. Anyone who does not like this must be a triggered [slur pertaining to that race] xDDD"
>"Oh, yeah? Well, your race spent all this time invading other cultures, killing swathes of people and taking things, and yet you still haven't figured out how to make decent food. Also, the people of your race who genocided a shitload of people, and the people who are racist even today? Really bad and fucked up. You people can be literal demons."
>"What the fuck? Why is this allowed? Why am I being held responsible for other people's actions?? You're calling us demons?? This is so racist, we are being oppressed."
I didn't attribute either behavior to single, specific races for a reason, by the way, before any hit dogs holler. I'm just sick of people having pissing contests about race in general. I wish people would just shut the fuck up unless they're trying to reconcile and make peace with each other.

I think that especially during the last decade, the bar for female beauty standards has been raised a lot, too much in my opinion.
Take three actresses who were considered beautiful in the 90s: Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt. If they came out right now and not in the 90s, the general public would've considered them average or even ugly.
I feel that now beauty is more of a "list of specific features to check" rather than how balanced/interesting a face looks. Almond, catlike eyes? Check. Button nose? Check. Big lips? Check. Okay, you're beautiful. (Bonus points if chiseled cheekbones, blue or green eyes and tan skin)
Of course it's not always like this blah blah, but generally speaking, this is my sensation.

Here's mine:
Cats are cute and I have no ill will towards them at all. My issue is people who allow their cats to roam freely. ESPECIALLY intact male cats. Here's why
>unaltered male cats piss on everything
Including my neighbors front door who had an indoor female cat
>unaltered cats reproduce incessantly.
The same neighbors cat who pissed all over everything, got another outdoor cat pregnant. The neighbor didn't let the cat inside ever. They put an opening in their crawl space for it to live and its babies started living there too. The idiot owner denied the kittens were spawned by her cat. Even though their markings were the same and the kittens followed the dad cat around everywhere
>roaming cats shit everywhere
It was really fun when I was planting some flowers in the flower bed on MY property and I ended up touching cat shit with my bare hands. It had dug a hole there, shit, and kicked dirt over it.
>they decimate wildlife, including endangered species
Have fun finding bloody dead birds in your yard and feathers everywhere.
>the cats get hurt because their owners are lazy entitled assholes
I've seen so many run over, flattened cats its ridiculous. Not to mention cats fighting each other and causing fatal abscesses and FIV. Sickos end up hurting outdoor cats in droves.
Predators eat them. I live near a desert and have seen half a dozen missing cat posters. Fucking dumbasses, we have coyotes and hawks out here. Your cat was probably their lunch because MUH CAT WANTS TO BE FREE.
No other pet owners let their domestic pet out free and susceptible to dangers like cat owners. Walk your cat, get a catio, get a higher fence or keep your kitty inside. Otherwise you're a negligent, selfish, entitled asshole IMO.
All other cat owners who dont do this: we cool.
No. 301708
>>301591I'm a cat person and I totally agree. I have to suppress my "you're fucking stupid" face whenever someone mentions they let their cat outside unattended. Like ignoring the environmental damage cats can do, you really love your fluffball enough to have them risk disease or painful death?

>>301900 are not a robot in disguise but I agree with both of you. This is a huge reason why I got tired of feminism (I still agree with it, I just don't spend as much time reading feminist content).
Liberal feminism is trash that made H&M THE FUTURE IS FEMALE t-shirts a thing, as well as thousands of retarded think pieces like BEYONCE IS OUR FEMINIST SAVIOR or ARE MARVEL MOVIES FEMINIST?
On the other hand, I agree with radfems, but being constantly bombarded with rape news from around the world and focusing on how men are disgusting is not healthy for me. Yes, I know men can be the most evil and vile thing on the world and women are fucked. I just don't want to constantly think about it when I can finally enjoy my life not being entirely shit. Maybe it makes me a traitor, but me getting depressed over fuckery does not help anyone, but ruins my life. The radfem community life is not for me.
On the other hand, I would like to become a volunteer for a feminist organisation, but IDK where to start (especially with my depression making even waking up almost impossible someday). IDK I just wish I could do something to help sex abuse victims or homeless people. Maybe I should start with donating.
No. 301933
>>301916i agree with this. i tend to agree more with radfems, but i have more of a moderate stance on this kind of thing in general. i also don't like generalizing men since most women and feminists hate being generalized, why do that to them?
there are toooons of shit men in the world and i really think getting them as allies is very important to ending toxic masculinity's reign.

it's not about the literal application, just kneejerk shit that has less to do with what the person is doing and more to do with their own bitterness.
No. 301936
>>301916No, I see where you're coming from and it doesn't make you a traitor. This is one reason why I limit the amount of time I spend browsing feminist media which includes certain threads on lolcow.

I liked both of them before and was really feeling for Bunny for being assaulted by Moo but now it just feels like they're milking that for visibility, you know? Neither Susu nor Bunny were/are very well known compared to Momo, it feels like they're leveraging te situation to climb up using Moo as the stairs. Not that she doesn't deserve to be dragged because she's a fucking piece of shit, but this whole situation is really exposing the true colors of other costhots, and now i'm hoping both of them get dragged along with Moo & Moochlette.

>>302980While i do think victim blaming is wrong, Bunny has been literally riding on this scandal's coattail for relevance and it irks me out. I don't think sexual harassment victims can't be bad people, like Asia Argento who was behind #metoo and has ben outed as an abuser herself. I can't help but hate that she's using a serious issue as a popularity stunt. We play along because we want to see Moo down but idk if it's worth it to help someone willing to leverage this to gain notoriety.
>>303000The problem is that once it gets posted along with a commentary like "SO WITTY OMG LOVE THEIR SHADE SLAY QUEENS" (which is why i think it's selfposting) it's bound to turn into a slapfight between those annoyed at the asslicking and the whiteknights.
No. 303091
>>302980I also agree that they're kind of cringe. At first what they were doing was fine but then they just kept milking Moo unnecessarily. Like that Jane chick who is always being posted to the thread and it's so annoying. I don't want to say move on to a victim but is it really necessary to always be commenting on things Moo does even if it doesn't pertain to the harassment? (This is about bunny)
My unpopular opinion, I like Shane Dawson and his friends. I've been seeing a ton of hate for him lately after his new video and it seems people hate him now because he's everywhere. I liked him for his conspiracy videos and the squad ghost hunting videos. I do think his content is extremely overdramatic but it's fucking youtube what do you expect.

A lot of times of your a woman with no makeup you get passive aggressive comments from other women since they feel like they "have" to wear it, and you not participating invalidates them by showing its not actually required.
I'm sure someone will jump down my throat for this. But it's like being a woman with short hair. Others women will comment that they "could never" do that. Because some women are so tied up in their image to appease men that any alternative is un thinkable. It's like they're mad that you aren't constrained by yourself.

>>303091I loved him back when he was hanging with trish and drew all of the time and doing the podcast with lauren. I think he can be genuinely funny at some points (which is why i still watch his ‘series’) but he crosses the line between funny and overdoing the joke to where its just annoying and predictable sometimes. He can be a little cringe when he overdoes emotion for the sake of painting “he moment’. (For example “WTF JEFFREE?” 5 million times in the warehouse)
My unpopular opinion is that I’ve always felt sadder for his ex Lisa than I ever did for Shane coming out. He basically dumped her because he was out of the closet (as a bisexual mind you) and wanted his chance at dating a man. In her breakup video you could basically see her blaming herself for ‘holding him back from experiences and being who he truly is~’. I just feel like it was a huge copout for him to end this long relationship by using the lgbt card and saying it was a chance to “explore this side ive never been able to show!” instead of flat out saying “hey I’m over you and want to start seeing other people” which could be construed as kind of douchebag-ie by some people.
