No. 27607
>>27606She's the loveable rogue now.
Her mother, her sister, PULL, Tumblr, etc., she's waded through a tonne of shit and she actually managed to make it without having a serious mental breakdown. I can respect that.
Plus, when was the last time she actually did anything lulzy? She's pretty much reformed now, and don't try to get onto me about the shooping when a billion other idols are doing the exact same shit. The shooping was never the issue.
No. 27608
>>27583Actually there's a video of her doing the shoot and she's wearing a load of visible blush in it.

No. 27628
>>27607I still think she's a cunt, she's just smarter than the rest of her family and keeps it under wraps (which, I guess considering the circumstances, is somewhat admirable?). I get the feeling that she, like her sister, is too narcissistic for a mental breakdown.
The shooping was an issue when it was absolutely ridiculous. It was a joke.
She's not fat (though I also think her weight is a lie) she just has a really rounded face I think. She's a pretty girl but really rounded faces need to be done up just right (with makeup and hair) or it can look pretty bad. I don't think it would be an issue for her in Asia but maybe it was after she had shooped her face so differently for so long?
No. 27664

No. 27667
>>27662I don't even know what Kiki's end game is any more. Become a model in asia like Dakota? She doesn't even do "photoshoots" like she used to or try to get signed to any US agencies. Does she honestly expect to be scouted in the exact same way as Dakota and if she just posts enough low quality kawaii instagram selfies and google translate gibberish they'll be begging to make her their new gaijin purincessu? Be an e-celebrity? She hardly makes any youtube videos and isn't really that active on social media for someone who's supposed to be…idk, I don't even know what Kiki considers herself to be.
I suppose she thinks she should be paid just for existing?
No. 27680
>>27675Her nose isn't that big of a deal. At certain angles it can look sharp. She doesn't suffer from OC potato nose.
I think her biggest flaw is the lines on her cheeks. Happens with girls who have chubby faces, but really ruins the kawaii doll image with deep lines. Not like it makes her look older, but definitely isn't photogenic. Otherwise, she's pretty cute.
I used to hate Dakota, but I started liking her outta spite for Kiki. I can't stop the lulz at Kiki's desperation. Please notice me like you did my sister, Asia-sempai. She truly believes Dakota got famous because of promoting, but it was more the momentum of the internet at the time. Koots got lucky and remains lucky. She got a big company behind her and managed to get some important companies on her side. Koots is also way more suited for Asian beauty standards than Kiki. Kiki doesn't fit any asian ideals of beauty as far as what I could see other than being thin and pale.
No. 27684
>>27681Softer features. Cute! Youthful, round and oval shapes. Big round eyes, oval face and tiny lips.
Western idealized features…well, it's fair to think of Angelina Jolie as an ideal of western beauty, whether you think she's beautiful or not. She's got sharp features, a strong jawline, high cheekbones and huge lips. Kiki fits into a western ideal better than Japan's ideal. I mean she fits into neither, but we're talking proximity here.
No. 27686
>>27681You'd be surprised. They think snaggletooths are cute and youthful. I kinda agree with them, surgically altered straight bleached teeth are overrated.
It depends on the social class, age or even area of the people you ask. Some old fashioned japanese people think dark skin is ugly, then there's young people who use fake tan. You have people who get eyelid surgery and people who embrace their natural look.
In general the popular aesthetic for women is sexy and/or cute. I.e attractive.

>>27683Wow has PT been sneaking her some mochi?
Still, it's k to be a chubster in japan, a lot of people think it's a land of anorexics, but that's not so. I'm surprised she can get modelling work tho looking like this, then again what do I know lol
No. 27689
Ah damn. That theme's pretty cute but what the hell is up with that shoop. She looks like she has a gap in her front teeth from the way her mouth is opened.
>>27681More on the level of Leah Dizon I'd think, but she's a halfie.
No. 27690
>>27680I agree, I think Dakota's nose is fine, but with certain styling and combined with her round face it can look a bit fuller sometimes, that's all. It's still not a bad one.
If Kiki had kept a look that was more natural to her (sexier, rather than cuter) she could make it in Asia, in theory, maybe not for kawaii modeling type stuff but other types of modeling (though I'm not sure why she insists on keeping it in Asia). It's true that trying to look cute just doesn't work for her.
No. 27693
>>27687No, I agree, I don't think Asian (in this case, Japanese) are always as thin as we think, I've seen girls in magazines and the like that are kind of rounder and softer.
I think Dakota just gains weight in really unfortunate ways, it looks like it lumps up or goes to her face, rather than the overall softer look that's a bit more ideal.
No. 27698
>>27570This is pretty cute, actually.
Yeah, she's no living doll, but she fits in well with the beauty ideals Japan has.

the thing is her company wishes she was bone thin. Why they lie about her measurements and weight. They also claim she has a size 22 inch waist which she obviously does not have. They will either shop her thinner (In a laughable way) or have her wear frumpy large dresses or clothing to hide the fact she isn't as kawaii thin as people think. Also lol at their new trend of pretty much erasing her chin and copying and pasting clothes on her. They are not even trying ny more with her photoshop. I know it average in asia to shop models, but they mutilate Dakota so bad.
No. 27702
>>27699Damn it's ridiculous. I agree her weight is not that heavy but she doesn't have a nice bikini body and based on her figure, I doubt she works out a lot.
I'm always amazed how asian magazines have such tacky photoshop jobs that would never fly in europe (or the Us I guess). Like they'll touch up ridiculously the models features but overlook simple stuff (why are her fingers so read on op pic ??)
I wonder why they put up with the amount of work Dakota needs in photoshop, either it's because she's somewhat famous or it's because her agency has contracts with better models/opportunities and push out Dakota in it as a deal. Kinda like companies being "if you want this popular tv show you need to also buy this shitty one nobody wants"
No. 27704
>>27683Yeah, she really isn't what she claims she was. I know I have a completely different body type than I do, but I'm 5'3, 100lbs, and I'm much smaller than her.
I wonder why she doesn't just work out? I'm pretty sure all the other models are expected to and she's definitely self conscious of her body.
No. 27731
>>27722>>27728This. I don't know where people are getting all this "Ohh she's grown and matured now, I'm so proud of her she isn't a bitch anymore guys~~". Have they talked to her and actually realized this or are they just rationalizing admiring her photos and popularity? Hell, she still has yet to make a proper apology for her shitty behavior in the past.
All that's changed is that she doesn't go on Stickam to bitch people out anymore, or allow her very public Twitter to be her space for shit-talking.

I mean shes cute with out all the shoop, but how is she getting all these gigs.
No. 27753
I personally love Kota, I have a very similar sense of humor to her and I feel like a lot of the shitty things she did was to impress Kiki. Kota idolized Kiki in the scene days because she was the skinnier and "prettier" one. And Kiki has proven to be the shittier person with her even insulting
Kota for being fat/ugly. I think Kiki brought on the racist things too, Kota was a bit weeby in her scene phase and even owned some anime plushies, Kiki even made fun of her for it. I think Kota was pretty honest when she said she always had an interest in Japan, sure she didn't learn the language from Cardcaptor Sakura at five, but why else would she pick Japan over everywhere else that was giving her modeling contract offers?
Sure she made fun of people for their looks and said/did some bitchy things, but is it really that much different from what we're doing atm? I also can understand the excuse making and such, she made an idiot of herself on the internet and was to ashamed to admit it. Kiki acting like she never did anything and she was love and light her entire life is much more annoying than a half assed apology.
>>27752I agree with this anon. Other than Charms claiming Kota was abused physically and mentally by Kiki and Cathy. Could you imagine having to have Kiki as your older sister and only friend? Kiki is so self centered and narcissistic she most likely never listens to what anyone else has to say. And if you're having problems, imagine talking to Kiki about them and have her make
everything about herself.
No. 27813
>>27794In the video where Dakota says lesbians are gross, you see Kiki continually making fun of Dakota for being a Dyke and you can see how uncomfortable Dakota is with that. Dakota, being the fatter, unpopular sister was always left at home or playing side kick to Kiki's bitchfests. And how old was Dakota? 13? (or 11 like her agents trying to shedding off years. kek). Dumbass teenagers are usually shit tier personalities. Kiki was an extreme and Dakota followed as best she could. Now, that may not excuse Dakota for saying homphobic and racist shit without a proper apology, but, at this point, who should care? Koots is now the outcast amongst the moon people of Japan. I"m sure she has better perspective, I'm sure she's shitty, but I like her sense of humor. I find it amusing that she misuses Japanese gender roles to sound like some hulked out American man. While that's really weird in Japan, I think it's a hilarious gimmic. It also shows that she doesn't necessarily try to keep up with the kawaii image in the public eye constantly.
I'm kinda high right now, but I like Koots. She's okay looking without shop. Her shops are pretty hilariously bad, but sometimes she models some cute shit. I'm glad that SHE'S the sister to gain fame, while kiki is at home taking care of cats and blogging about vegan mochi or whatever she does these days.

>>27813A lot of people think she's actually a closeted lesbian, which would make sense because she would always use lesbian as an insult and talk about how gross they are. I think she used to say that stuff all the time because she wanted to believe it herself and she wanted to impress her family.
>>27843And I third this, I thought it was hilarious when she kawaiified a picture of vomit.
Kota may not be a kawaii petite living doll, but she'll always be a qt in my book.
No. 27851
>>27849I dunno. I was called a lesbian by a lot of people just because I was insecure and a late bloomer when it came to interest in guys. I was intimidated, but I didn't turn out gay. She might be, but that's as solid as her NOT being gay.
Oh the kawaii vomit! I remember reading posts on PULL pissing all over Dakota for that when I thought it was gross and hilarious. Dakota has a more masculine type of humor so it makes sense she'll use masculine ways of talking. While it's inappropriate in Japanese culture and somewhat doesn't make sense, I find it endearing almost. Even Tsubasa (I think that's that Candydoll creator idol person's name) remarked on how hilarious Dakota's way of talking is. Even a native speaker can at least understand that it's funny despite being unusual then I think Dakota got a pretty cool niche way of defining herself despite that moronic dolly shit.
I"ve read a few blog posts on people who met Dakota. Despite insults saying she piles on make and its super caked on, they also say she's quite petite. No way in hell she's under 100lbs (personal opinion), but she's still itty. She's just got belly fat and is sorta squishy looking.
I hate to white knight so fucking much. I'm not from PULL and I think I started to root for Dakota when I realized that all the girls from PULL were actually JEALOUS! Not all members, but many did the same kawaii dolly bullshit and harped on every detail of Dakota that wasn't perfect. Meanwhile they'd post their ugguu shit all over the forums. Dumb bitches. You can hate Dakota for being an ignorant white girl from a shitty family that photoshopped herself into mediocre fame, but once you start hating her because you think you're more kawaii, then Dakota is suddenly the better person. Because she made it and a portion of PULL is still taking shitty photos in their dirty rooms with tons of "made in china" pokemon unicorns.
No. 27853
>>27851excuse the shit grammar. still high.
Anyways I'm sick of defending Koots. Maybe we can spam more photos of the hilarious photoshop disasters. I always love a particular campaign's take on her chin. Will they leave it? Shave it? Narrow it? Oh the possibilities!

No. 27863
>>27851I was the same, I just thought it could make sense.
I love that too! I think Dakota's one of the most original "snowflakes" I know of tbh. Everyone on pull likes to go on about how "unoriginal" kota is whenever people attack them or someone they want to replace Kota, like Taylor R for example. I feel like even without the shooping, Kota would be pretty popular now. She had great/interesting style and a very interesting personality. I would love to meet her and talk to her, she seems like she'd be fun to hang out with. Too bad I wasn't around during the early tumblr days, she had an aim on her tumblr where you could talk to her.
And I feel you, I thought I was going to get attacked for white knighting her. I really hate those types of bitches on pull and I never understood why they would want to be known on a forum for talking shit on people. That's pretty much the opposite of the "cute, sweet, innocent" persona all these girls have.
>>27859Same, hahaa. Part of me wants to troll Kiki and ask to interview her for a popular blog or something, and then just ask her a bunch of questions about Kota and her success, lol. Or just tweet her about Dakota, she gets so livid when people fawn over Dakota instead of her.

No. 27903
>>27900She just curses and has sort of a gruff sound to her way of speaking. No femininity whatsoever (which I think is fine).
When speaking in Japanese, she often uses male language (in case you don't know much about the language; there are words specifically used by each sex in many cases. She often uses words spoken only by Japanese men.)
No. 27906
>>27901Like what
>>27903 said, she uses male language, for example, she uses 僕(boku) which is a manly way to say "I/me" and だ(da) at the end of her sentences which is a more forceful/manly way to state things, it's kind of like です(desu) but です is humble/honorific.
No. 27909
>>27902I agree. I think the people on PULL dislike Kota because she is just an average (though I actually think she's fairly cute, shoop or no) white girl from Florida who managed to make it in Japan, while the SG bloggers are Asians so they can do no wrong because ASIA!!! I don't think it's necessarily limited to PULL either…a lot of people in the Jfashion community will have nothing negative to say about any East Asian models or personalities but tear apart black and white girls.
People say they like(d) Xiaxue because of her openness about shooping and unapologetic personality but, yeah, you could really say the same thing about so many other e-celebrities and only the non-Asian ones get called out.

>>27900In Japan there is a specialised way of speaking referred to as keigo, which is basically ultra-polite version. It's remembering your pleases and thank you's ramped up to a whole new level where forgetting a single desu can be the difference between basic politeness and you sounded liking an uncultured barbarian.
タメ口 / tamekuchi, or ため語 / tamego (literally equal speech / equal language) is a form of speech in Japan by which a person addresses and speaks to those around her as if they were equals, i.e. as others mentioned, using pronouns such as "ore" and "boku", ending her sentences with "da".
It's funny to the Japanese because she projects herself as this dainty, pure and clean living doll and the way she speaks is the equivalent to her walking onto a shoot and being like "alright u scallies time to get on wiv the days graft, u watch ur mowf son".
Tamekuchi is actually past of the reason Rolla managed to become so popular in Japan so when you Google it a few images of her pop up.

part of being a model is making good connections with the staff you work with. even if the photographer or one of the other models behaves like a complete ass, you don't point it out publicly and you certainly don't write about it in your personal blog if you ever want to work with those people again. esp. in japan.

>>30497To me, it seems like Kota wants nothing to do with Kiki now. Kota's much happier now, she actually has a social life and does things other than shoop her photos/videos and listen to Kiki talk about herself all day. I mean, Kiki seems like that friend you have who only comes to you only when
they need you or when
they want to talk about themselves and then completely dumps you when they get in a relationship or find a cooler friend. I highly doubt Kiki gave a shit enough to hear when Kota wanted to talk about, unless it was something bitchy about someone h8ing on her or that she hated. This is all my speculation though, but I feel as if I'm right based off of Kota ignoring Kiki, Kota briefly unfollowed Kiki on twitter , and Kota took down the Audrey Kawasaki print that Kiki gave her. I know Kota followed Kiki back and I think she put the portrait back on her wall, but Kota could be trying to move on from that family and Kiki/Cathy could be clinging onto Kota hard. Who else is she going to try to get famous in Japan off of if Kota wants nothing to do with her? I've been in an experience with a desperate person clinging onto me, manipulating me into talking to them/letting them brag about me/etc, Kiki seems to be that desperate or at least she's becoming that desperate.
No. 30511
>>30503Yeah, their relationship doesn't seem great, from an outsider perspective anyway. They hardly ever seem to speak to each other, I mean, they could well be in contact a lot privately but you'd think Kiki would want to be seen talking to Dakota. Also, seeing as Kiki has no job and does nothing all day and is desperate to be an ~aidoru, you'd think she could go and stay with Dakota in glorious Nippon for a few months and she could hook her up with some contacts or something.
I wonder if it's because Kiki is buttmad jealous and pushing Dakota away or because Dakota wants to distance herself. Maybe a bit of both?
No. 30514
>>30509No problem!
>>30511>you'd think she could go and stay with Dakota in glorious Nippon for a few months and she could hook her up with some contacts or something.I think this also tells how bad their relationship is, I mean, if Dakota wanted to, she could easily get Kiki the popularity she so desperately desires. All she would have to do is introduce her to some people, put her into a couple videos, maybe mention her in interviews, etc.
>I wonder if it's because Kiki is buttmad jealous and pushing Dakota away or because Dakota wants to distance herself. Maybe a bit of both?It seems to me Kiki tries to contact Dakota and stuff. From time to time Kiki would tweet to Dakota and get completely ignored. For example, when Kota posted that gun pic a while back, Kiki tweeted to Kota and got ignored. I feel like the only reason Kiki wasn't ignored recently when she tweeted Kota is because she either somehow got a hold of Kota's account, or because Kota would much rather stay on Kiki's good side since she'll have to be around her when she gets her visa renewed. I feel like Kiki would try "accidentally" hitting Kota in the face, cutting all her hair off, etc, to sabotage her if it weren't for the hope Kota would make her famous. Kiki also sent that Audrey Kawasaki print for her birthday, what did Kota even send her for her birthday?
I know that we don't see everything, but they used to be so close. I don't think Kota being very secretive is an excuse for it, I mean I'm the exact same way as her, but if you looked at my social networking sites, you could easily tell who I'm close to even though I rarely post publicly ever about them. Kota doesn't even like/favorite any of Kiki's pictures/tweets, Kiki literally gets no acknowledgement from her.
No. 30551
>>30520I feel like if Kota and Kiki were on good terms, Kiki wouldn't have to make up fake Japanese people in Japan to send her vegan Japanese snacks. Especially since Kota is vegan and would have access and knowledge of vegan Japanese snacks. But even despite that, considering Kiki will post gifts from other people (no matter how small/shitty/from the local AsianMart they are), she has never posted about any sort of gift from Kota. She never even mentions Kota. You would think that if she did get anything from Kota she would brag about her kawaii Japanese gifts.
It kinda sucks and I'm sure they haven't cut ties completely or anything (hard to cut ties completely with family) but I have to agree with the other anon who has suggested they are probably on okay terms since Kota has to stay with them when her visa expires. I'm positive there was some ruckus and Kota likely told Cathy and Kiki to stay out of her career because it's an actual real career in real life that has real consequences when dramu and lawlsuits are introduced.
Kiki is DEFINITELY jealous of Kota, and I'm not even sure how anyone could pretend otherwise, and Cathy is probably bitter because Kota is the interesting one with the fun life and wants nothing to do with her and Kiki just like pole dance 101s in her room and tweets about Buddhism all day.

>>30572Even though I do feel like Kota doesn't idolize Kiki or even really like her anymore, I really agree with that too. I think it is a mix between Kota not liking her very much anymore and not wanting to be associated with her image. Has Kota ever advertised Kiki or even put "her music" in her videos? Now thinking about it, I don't think I ever have. I'm sure Kiki has asked, I mean, when Kota first came to Japan and was at the pique of her popularity, Kiki seemed to tweet her so much, post conversations they had, I think she also posted a picture of a Liz Lisa hat Kota got her one year, and she had no issue mentioning her.
And going back to what I said earlier about how I still feel Kota doesn't really like Kiki, since I'm now thinking about it. I wasn't around in the tumblr days but I've seen her old tumblr and heard all about it. But I think one other thing showing that Kota was really getting tired of Kiki's shit even in the tumblr days, is that Kota advertised her aim, I've heard about her answering all kinds of pms she'd get, and she befriended Charms and told her all kinds of personal stuff about herself. I think Kota made this Kotakoti persona, other than for fame/to be liked by people, but she also wanted to reach out to other people. Back in the scene days, Kota never seemed to have friends at all, unless you count Kiki's friends she was third wheeling with. Compare her to Kiki, Kiki never, ever replies to anyone unless the person has something to offer her and is willing to give her all their information in case everything heads south and her and Cathy need to sue them. I don't think I've ever heard of Kota doing such a thing. Even when Charms told everyone about what Kota told her, Kota never screencapped it and tried suing her or even tried to send her fans after her, though I'm sure Kiki and Cathy have. And speaking of Charms, I definitely think Dakota would've never told her all those things about her personal life if she wasn't trying to reach out to other people and the only person she had to talk about her problems to was Kiki of all people. I mean, she's learned from Kiki to not share too much to other people. And imagine if she tried to tell Kiki about being physically abused by Cathy, Kiki wouldn't relate her or other peoples' experiences to Kota's and give her advice/motivation based on what she knows like a normal person would, no, she would just make it all about herself and talk about how much
harder she has it with the internet ~h8erz~ and all.
It may seem like I whiteknight Kota way too much, I just don't think she's as shitty of a person as people make her out to be, at least when you compare her to Kiki. Even though it's easy to look like a good person compared to Kiki, whom I don't think there's really a likeable quality about her, Kota seems like a really cool and good friend to have. I just wish I could've befriended her or at least talked to her before she became really popular and started to keep her guard up with people.
Idk, I apologize if I'm rambling and this makes no sense, if it doesn't, it sounded much better in my head and I'm really exhausted at the moment.

Actually,she didn't make the kotakoti persona to be famous, she sure as hell milked it when she realzed it got her fame, but it wasn't her intention when she created the tumblr account. I followed her on twitter beforehand and shooping was just a quiet hobby where she'd post pictures like the one here and add a crude joke underneath. She only had 8k followers and like every 1 in 5 tweets was at kiki. This was in mid 2011.
No. 30754
>>30746I was the anon who wrote that she wanted to be famous, not because I knew her motives but I was just saying a reasoning she could've made it in the first place. I also added it because I know a few people would be like "she just wanted to be famous!!11!!1!" Some people flip out when you say you believe her about her age.
Anyway, I feel like she did do the shooping for praise and to feel prettier. I don't think she expected to become a model out of it or even that was her goal in the first place. I think she just wanted to act out a fantasy of being someone else and I also think she wanted to share her makeup/fashion with like-minded people, which both are completely understandable. I'm also not going to hate her for milking the fame because if I was in her situation, I would too. Same thing with the modeling, like I'm sure Kota knew she wouldn't be good at it and she wouldn't look like her shoops but I think she took the opportunity because she's really interested in and wanted to go to Japan, even if she sucked at modeling, not many people can say they were a model in Japan, and she wanted to get away from her insane family and
actually do something with her life unlike everyone around her.

No. 39271
>>39234>>39226Actually I think it was the scene that gave Kota a head start. She had 8,000 followers at the time she created her tumblr, and literally the only marketing she did was post the link on twitter once. No pretentious tags, nothing. Just silently started uploading pictures. My theory is that a couple hundred or more of those twitter followers followed her on tumblr and reblogged her pictures, helping them spread out. So to a high degree I think you really can say it all just fell into her lap. At least in the beginning when the popularity started rolling in.
Though later on she definitely tried to milk it by directing her tumblr to a new website that she used as a sort of portfolio with a "contact me for bookings" page. As well trying to appeal to Korea, then China and finally Japan by making her videos in their language.
I remember the first ever youtube video, the horn tutorial, the title was originally in Korean, all because a Korean TV network featured her tumblr. Then when someone tipped her that a fake Chinese weibo account had 6k followers she had a freak out on twitter asking everyone to report it, before eventually asking the fake for the password instead. So she made a weibo and that's when she jumped ship on the Koreans and made her thank you china video. After that I assume
No. 39272
>>39271Shit, I clicked post on accident. Anyway…
I assume bravo must have contacted her for booking, so she left china now and started making videos speaking Japanese because it was "serious this time".

You have to remember also that the Ostrengas are trashy and cheap but also resourceful, so it would come as no surprise that they went around looking for a surgeon shady enough to reconstruct her nose while billing it so ther insurance would pay for it. That's actually a really common problem in FL- people lying to their insurance companies about the degree of necessity of their surgeries. Most plastic surgeons had to stop taking insurance at all without a recommendation for necessary breast reductions because women were getting cosmetic lifts and billing them as reductions for "back pain".

if i were you, i'd try out getting one made with real hair so you can dye it to match your color and it will look more natural. if you think it looks fake where you clip it on, you can wear a headband or something over it.

She isn't even trying to be super famous, she seems fine with her current status level, but Bravo seems to me like a more higher end agency (when Kota got signed, they were representing Andrej Pejic at the height of his popularity after all).
If Dakota had applied to Bravo without all the photoshop, they wold have laughed in her face. I dont get why they keep bending ovrr backwards to keep getting her jobs and photoshopping her to death. Agencies don't go after models where they have to dilute 85% of their appearance. It goes against the entire business model. "Don't waste time and money on girls who don't have the look". Obviously if Dakota had the look Japan wanted she wouldn't need the shoop in the first place, but lucky for her Japan is retarded about photoshop, to them it must be magic or some shit.

No. 42376
>>42056You do know that it's not Bravo that's photoshopping her shoots right?
The only things agencies will do is advertise you on various platforms, negotiate with employers and hook you up with work. If you're lucky they might even spot you travel/accommodation fees and even then you have to pay them back. They have absolutely zero input on how a model or a client chooses to edit stills from a shoot.

>>46408I was wondering about that. How popular are white people in Japan, or countries outside of the UK, U.S., Canada and Australia in general? I've only been outside of the U.S. a few times in my life to the Caribbean, but they didn't seem to care that you were white at all outside of trying to have you fall for tourist attractions.
I didn't really see any ads or anything with white people in them either. When I see videos with people in Japan I often notice many white models on billboards in the background.
No. 46424
>>46417I haven't been to Japan yet, but I think being white is kinda popular in Japan. I do language exchange with a lot of Japanese people and it's anonymous, the only things the people know is your age, where you're from, and first name. My name is a common Russian name so I'll have a bunch of old Japanese guys flirting with me each time I post for language exchange/friends. Which I feel like that's how Kota's sister got that sugar daddy, I've had old Japanese guys suggest that they're sugar daddies to me. A lot of these guys are very thirsty just at the idea of a white girl, which is why it was easy for her sister to get one.
That being said, like this anon said
>>46421 , just being white isn't going to get you famous or worshiped by Japanese people. I think a lot of people in Japan fetishisize white people and foreigners in general, just like how a lot of people in other parts of the world would fetishisize people foreign to them.
No. 46429
>>46424i agree, like mentioned there's an audience for it. but it's more of a special snowflake syndrome thing. because it's rare there, it's popular for it's "exotic-ness." i recall watching a video where they interviewed young students in japan on their ideal mate, most of them said japanese
i think having a white girlfriend in japan is seen as more of a wealth status
No. 46432
>>46424I agree with you to a certain point. A lot of my friends are Latinos and when we asked each other what types of guys we go for vs guys we'd never consider dating, a lot of them said Asians for guys they aren't attracted to. I was really surprised because it was unanimous. According to them, the majority of Latinos (of different countries) don't care for Asians, they're mainly into white or native americans (mexican looking). Black guys are looked down on a lot too.
So I'm assuming that the people that are most fetishized are white world wide
No. 46437
>>46432like i said, western/european colonization of most of the world is really responsible for that.
but it is a stretch to say white world wide. honestly if you look at non white societies what they claim as being the most beautiful are things still indigenous to that country
in japan a round face and small features are the most desired. those aren't really ethnic traits for a lot of white people who have squared jawlines and protruding noses and such
No. 46443
>>46434that's because the appearance of black peoples (i'm certain black is fine, since not all black people are american) is very stark to what asian features are
but like literally go to africa, there are people with a crapload of different hues, eyecolors, nose shapes, mouths, ect. beyond the stereotypes
No. 46444
>>46441originally yes! but we've also seen in the west that pale, fair skin isn't really desired anymore. tanned skin is, because it shows you have the money to afford to lay out in the sun all day (or whatever).
very fair skin is seen as unhealthy, and olive or tanned skin is seen as healthy
beauty things change all the time
No. 46448

No. 46456
>>46452not necessarily.
people with dark skin aren't intentionally shooped lighter because light skin is seen as more beautiful. it's because many cameras don't meter for dark skin, but meter for fair skin.
because of that the white balance is thrown off
if you have any class pictures with very dark skinned peers you'll know what i mean. their features are drowned out.
the shooping is to recapture them
No. 46459
>>46456They're not always shooped to have their features captured though. People are whitewashed for the sake of having them appear as though they had naturally lighter skin.
Though I do think this is done more so in countries like the ones mentioned by
>>46452 and the US.
In countries where the majority are dark skinned it wouldn't make sense.
No. 46463
>>46459i agree with the part about eastern asian countries doing that, but not western countries and definitely NOT mainstream US.
I can tell you this now, as somebody who works as a fashion photographer in NYC and also models, that isn't anymore truer for dark skinned models than it is for fair skinned models. If it happens, it's to even out tone from blemishes.
But believe what you will.
There is more shame from the black community over skin tone than there is from white people in America. I can vouch for that one.

not everyone who is of geological african descent calls themself african-american when they inhabit america.
also look as to where african peoples have been dispersed (mostly due to slavery). brazil has a huge african ethnic population but does not say Afro-Brazilian
another thing, the term "African-American" was coined BY black americans after the civil rights movement when there was a focus on reclaiming/honoring their african ancestral past which was lost to the slave trade
anyways this is getting hella OT but i'm kinda happy it's being discussed
No. 46470
>>46468No, that's not what I'm talking about. Because what was being alluded to in the discussion was that dark skinned people prefer that so that they look more ethnically white, which I don't 100% agree with.

occasionally posting a selfie or update.
People are gonna start to forget about her, and she's getting older which, despite her gruff gimmick and how she ages, isn't working in her favor. She can't pretend to be ~16~ forever.

>>51001I got the same feeling. I don't know if her time is up obviously because people have been saying that since the beginning of her modeling carreer (if that's a career).
But she reeks off awkward and while she's cute, I think she's been too affected by truth blogs and how she and her family handled it. If she faced it from the start she'd have grown some balls but all she does is ignore, deflect and report. Her family taught her that even if they make mistakes (with Daniel, with her shoops, her lies, her past racism) they don't have to apologize and just block, report, harass, threaten.
I know it's armchair psychology here, but Dakota seems the closest one to sanity, I don't really like her but I can see where she tries to not make the same mistakes as her family and managed to be more successful than her sister. The problem is now she's insecure because she obviously looks way different than her shoops when other people take her pics and can't relax and have fun. She's not a good model because it's like she's always holding in, not fully smiling or revealing parts of her she doesn't like (chin, tummy I guess)
No. 51072
>>51056>>51069Both of these posts arevexactly why I don't see her making much more out of this Living Doll trend than she already has. If she doesn't get into school soon for something she can actually live on, she'll be out in the cold sooner rather than later, that's just how trends work. Unless she finds a way to be more interesting and appealing, Japan is going to get tired of her. Nobody likes a one trick pony after all, and Bravo isn't going to break the bank keeping her when she starts aging and doesn't show any sign of improving herself. At this point she's got no more tricks up her sleeve unless she ties to make her own fashion or cosmetics line, and since she doesn't have business experience then even that might not be a very good idea.
She was hella lucky that her Living Doll deal took her as far as it did, but it's still just another internet fad and it will die out, and idk what she'll do when it does.

>>51071To be fair, people were saying that In the beginning, and especially when she got signed, out of jealousy. Now almost 3 years later, she's a one trick pony on a dying fad, getting older, and her modeling sadly hasnt much improved since she started.
I hope she gets as much out of it while she can, her popularity is declining and she's not getting any younger.
No. 51103
>>51072The thing is, if she had some sort of personnality like she had before she could rely on it to become a sort of celebrity and get invited to show or sponsor products. If she were funny or had a talent she could use it but she's rather awkward live and can't handle her face, so she doesn't move much and try to stay as dolly as possible.
She really shoot herself in the foot because she can't keep up with her shoops and is too weak to assume her mistakes.
No. 51243
>>51069Even in Japan she showed she's still got the same attitude. Like that time some Japanese guy wrote "I cant imagine what having cramps would be like" and she said "if you want to know, I'll punch you in the stomach!" and more recently, the way she was talking about what those guys said in the February 2015 Popteen issue ("I don't care about looking kind", "Shoes are never enough, I don't need a letter. I don't want a wallet, I want money.")
Remember the Living in Japan segment? She was very standoffish with the other girls. One tried to touch Dakota's arm while talking to her and Dakota made a face like "get away from me".
She's able to get herself to fake it enough to seem cutesy for her job…but sometimes not even then, like a lot of the time when videos show the models getting ready to go onstage, Dakota has a sour face while the rest are happy and waving for the camera, and same when they're leaving the stage.
>>51072>She was hella lucky that her Living Doll deal took her as far as it did, but it's still just another internet fad and it will die out, and idk what she'll do when it doesI do tbh. I don't think she'll allow herself to end up back in the states. It seems like she's been dating most of the time she's been in Japan and she took a guy home the last time she had to go to Florida. I'm certain she'll want to get married to get a Japanese citizenship. Dakota's sister is trying her best to do the same now.
>>51148Yeah, I don't know what was up with that. There was some article that said she was planning on singing but then other people thought it must've been a mistake. I think she also said something about how she can't sing in a later interview when asked. And I mean, we know that for ourselves already…case in point, the Belebel song, lol.

No. 51321
>>51246She can't get Japanese citizenship. lol
But she can get permanent resident status, although it would require living there for 10 years without moving back in-between.
You can get it as a "Highly Skilled Foreign Professional" but that would imply stuff like scientist, professional chef or other things she would never be related to.
Or if she gets married (loool) she can get it after 3 years of marriage.
No. 51432
>>51243Where did you hear that Dakota brought a guy back last time? I know in Kiki's video she mentioned Dakota bringing a 'friend' back with her to the states and that was Kiki's 'reason for learning Japanese', so she could talk with the 'friends' Dakota brings back and their families (lol yeah, t0tez not because you want to be your sister or anything). But I don't remember reading she straight up brought a guy back. But it makes a lot of sense given how Kiki said she wanted to be able to talk to them and their
family. I could definitely believe Kota has a bf.
No. 51462
>>51432Kiki was really reaching for reasons to learn Japanese in that video. Weebs who want to learn Japanese to watch unsubbed anime or play imported games have much more valid reasons to learn imo. I'd have a lot of respect for her if she'd just outright said, "I don't care about Japan, I just want to be famous like Kota."
Dakota better hold onto her man tightly! I'm imagining a scenario where Dakota brings a man back to Florida, Kiki locks him in her "office," and starts pole dancing to seduce him. I can't get her busted ass trying to seduce a man out of my head. Other than that scenario, imagine bringing home a foreign friend and a family member clings onto your friend while speaking an incredibly broken version of their language.

>>51260I don't believe one minute she'll be a fashion designer. Celebrities like really well known models sometimes hop unto singing or collaborating with designers to create a brand (or paying designers and seamstresses and applying their name to it) but Dakota has nowhere near the popularity to do that.
Or she could study her ass off for years but then again no way that would happen.
I doubt she'll be able to bounce once her modeling career is dead, she has no personnality whatsoever to get invited to shows and can't get into singing or fashion design. Plus let's be honest, she got no sense of style and never had. In her tumblr era she probably copied what was in but her outfits are mostly weebish and cringe inducing now.

It's weird to think she went from not giving a fuck about making funny faces/making herself look ugly for comedic effect, to now barely moving her mouth when speaking in videos, like an automaton.
>>51538Yeah, this. I don't think she'll ever be an "open" person and that works against her longevity in this kind of career, unfortunately. BUT she's become comfortable enough that she talks in her gruff tomboyish voice in Japanese now when she used to pretend it was highpitched and cutesy, and she's not afraid to show her true attitude. I think that's as close as it gets for her being open.
>>51469>I doubt she'll be able to bounce once her modeling career is deadThis makes me wonder, do you guys think she'll go back to being more active on Youtube and social accounts if her modeling career drops, like she did before she got picked up by Bravo? Or will she let herself fade into obscurity?
No. 51789
Oh please. People have been having negative predictions about her future since 2012. In timeline:
1. When she started going viral, people on tumblr started saying that she "would never survive in the real world" if she can't even handle online criticism, therefore she had no future outside of the comfort of the internet.
2. When Bravo was announced everyone questioned the agency's legitimacy, saying it was fake and no way she would be a model.
3. When her first modeling photos came out everyone said they would soon drop her because she looks nothing like her personal photos.
4. Some self-proclaimed "hate blog" claiming to be a Bravo model lied that Bravo was dumping her and set her profile with the plane icon supposedly meaning that from now on Bravo refused to pay for her.
5. When she started adding frequent videos and be active on twitter, PULL said that it's because she has no jobs.
6. When she was removed from Candy Doll PULL went on to celebrate that they're done with her and this a sign that she's losing work.
7. When she appeared in the commercial with Kyary they said that it was filmed at separate times and stitched together, so she never really met her.
I'm probably forgetting other examples, but it's become embarrassing how throughout the years it's constantly been "LULZ THEY'RE GONNA BOOT HER ANY DAY NOW, SHE'S GOING HOME SOON, SHE'S LOSING WORK, I BET SHE'S BACK IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW, NOBODY'S GUNNA WORK WITH HER WHEN THEY SEE WHAT SHE LOOKS LIKE, ONCE THIS IS DONE SHE'S GUNNA GO BACK TO BEING A NOBODY"
It's been 3 years and none of that has happened, instead she keeps going up.
No. 51810
>>51789>It's been 3 years and none of that has happened, instead she keeps going up.Actually, no. She peaked in Japan about a year ago, her poplarity has been decreasing ever since becayse she's not very active publicly. Popteen has started using her less and less, she isn't doing as many purikura machine shoits, and she hasn't been on TV nearly as much.
Go back to PULL with your "I'm not a Dakota fan or anything but u guise are all so jelly bc shes famou in grorious nippon and ur not" shit. Honestly, I wish I knew why every kawaii weeb thinks Dakota is so huge and famous when really she isn't, as someone said before, she got signed with Bravo because they thought she was already famous thanks to /cgl/ boosting her popularity by talking about her so much. PULL was even created originally to "expose" her.

Anywho, Kooter's gonna be on TV again, a show called "Gyoretsu no Dekiru Horitsu Sodanjo" or "Legal Office: Advice So Good You Stand in Line". Never seen it so I have no idea what it's about, but the preview images have her side by side with her shoops from back in the day.

Her absence was probably her either having some work done (the question mark on 整形しない？ makes it sound like a question, not definite "it's not plastic surgery!") and recovery, or she thought up some new makeup tricks to make her face look completely different from the 100 other looks she's created over the years.
Personally my ojective vote is for plastic surgery. It isn't the huge taboo in the east that is is in America especially, but I could see Dakota still lying about it because she's insecure- after all, she lied about something as trivial and harmless as wearing circle lenses when it was plainly obvious she was, so I wouldn't put lying about a nose job or jaw shaping past her.

She wouldn't be the first and definitely not the last model to have work done and lie about it outright. Her entire career is based on her face and her making herself look half Japanese, her body and her modeling aren't up to par (sorry, but it's true) and everyone has seen her face without her hafu shoop and makeup tricks. She's supposed to be this ~magical makeup transformation guru~ so any work she does get, she'll just say it's a new super secret technique she invented.

>>55320just because you're a model doesn't mean you're not insecure.
if anything, you probably have a lower opinion of your physical appearance after comparing it to your edited pictures in magazines.
not to mention that a model's life is made up of almost daily casting calls, where your potential employers criticize almost everything about your appearance. Being a model really is not as fun and glamorous as Popteen tries to make it seem, esp. if (like Dakota) your reputation is built on having a supposedly flawless appearance.
Not to mention that you have a very short shelf life if that's your career of choice. Dakota's going to have to find something else to do by the time she's around my age (23) or marry into money. It's actually very fortunate for her that she did turn out to be younger than everyone expected, because otherwise she'd have a much harder time competing.
No. 55330
>>55315I noticed this too, but I didn't read it as a 'bitch' move.
Dakota has a large online following, probably none of these other girls have an audience like that.
She's obviously got a lot more to worry about what with being the only foreigner on set as well. I don't speak Japanese, but the way she had to be coaxed into that half-hearted pose and 'yey' just seemed like someone trying to appear upbeat when they're actually feeling stressed, and I can't blame her for that.
No. 55364
>>55359Tbh I feel like all that would be things that she just has to suck it up and deal with, since being a model isn't the glamorous cakewalk magazines make it out to be, and well, she chose to go to Japan. If being a model and having to think in and speak Japanese is soooo stressful for her that she can't manage to look bored out of her skull 90% of the time, maybe she should think about doing something else.

>>55310She does seem bitchy In this vid. Idk How many of you caught it, but when she put her finger up at The camera girl, that was kind of rude, and just The way she was acting was very "get that camera out of my face". I know someone's gonna jump to whiteknight her (but shewas probably tired/didn't want o be filmed/etc), well those excuses don't really apply to models, especially on a set. Being a model on set means you have to be camera ready, and being tired is a part of working for a living, boohoo. And besides all that, Popteen is a cutesy, upbeat girly magazine, Dakota should at least try to emulate that with all they've done for her. She always seems ungrateful and kind of blind to what an amazing opportunity she had fall into her lap, like she takes it for granted- "I'm THE Dakota Rose, they're lucky to have me".

They know what she looks like and obvs don't care and shoop her to oblivion anyway.
As a side note, I laugh every time someone says "she's just shy!!!". That bitch ain't shy, she's conceited and keeps her mouth shut about it because it's the smart thing to do. If she were shy she wouldn't have made all those videos and been such an outspoken bitch on all her camshows/twitter before she got noticed for being "kawaii".

Being a model is perfect for an introvert. A career as a talent, maybe not so much. But as a model, the only requirement is that you look pretty for the camera and be polite and obliging towards your crew.
also you say 'she chose to go to japan' as though the rest of us wouldn't have jumped at a chance to do the same, jfc.
>>55367not being a native speaker of the language.
There are people who have lived in Japan for literally decades and are still not considered fluent. Speaking on camera is nerve-wracking enough for most people, but in another language it's difficult on a whole new level. Making a mistake would be humiliating. Dakota's always paid attention to her online audience, do you think she doesn't notice people making fun of her sister's bad Japanese?
I'd be a recluse in her situation, too. Not to mention that Dakota doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation for interacting well with her peers. The only person I can ever recall having 'befriended' Dakota is Charms/Lotte, at least before Charms sold her out to /cgl/.

Dakota pretended she could speak perfectly decent Japanese with google translate back when she was still in Florida, and kept that up until that first time she went on tv in Japan and sat there awkwardly. Since then she learned not to speak much in person or on camera until she got better. It's been 3 years or so by now, assuming she had a basic grasp on the language before she got there, immersion learning coupled with thw class/tutor Bravo made her take, her Japanese is good enough for jer to feel comfortable using as much slang as she does, so you can't use that as an excuse. Dakota reads, understands and speaks Japanese perfectly fine, at least JLPT N3 or N2.

And while Kota is definitely not fluent, I don't think it requires that much for her to speak Japanese. I study another language and know many other people who speak second languages. In my personal experience and from what I've seen, the more you use a language, the more natural it becomes to use it. Kota has actually lived there for almost 3 years, so I think she's fine.

Jeez, what is with people lately? "Dakota avoids cameras becuz her nihongo probably isn't that good!" You would have to be pretty slow to live there for 3 years, studying the language and still not be able to speak it decently. I'm sure her agency either put her in classes or gave her a tutor.
Face it: she's the same self conscious, yet superficial bitch she always was. Kudos to her for not conjuring some fake ass ~sweet kira kira kawaii elf princess of love and light~ persona like Kiki, but she's still the same foul mouthed white trash Ostrenga she was, she just learned how to keep her mouth shut and keep her shit personality to herself. That's why everyone saying "she needs to act more X/Y/Z or she'll lose her Japanese fans!" are ridiculous. Dakota smiles and acts cute and polite when the cameras are on because that's the only time she really has to. In candid stuff like that video, if she were expected to act a certain way she would have been against a proper background, properly lit and saying her prerehearsed bit like a good little trained monkey. Instead one of the models just decided to do a behind the scenes type of deal and Dakota clearly didn't want to be a part of it.

I think Dakota's pretty savvy about managing her reputation. She knows not to respond to her critics directly, but it was pretty obvious she read her own threads and took the complaints into consideration. Her sister's infamy and her earlier tactics are what catapulted her to ~stardom~ but now that she's living independently, she's well-aware that it's not in her best interest to continue providing fresh lolcow milk.

If she's gonna keep shooping (which she is) she should tone it down somewhat at least. You can barely see her nose.
Pic added is my favourite picture of Kota because she looks almost…natural? It's still shooped, of course, but at least she looks like a fucking human being and not like a pale alien fetus. Plus, 10 points for smile.

>>55544At least from what I've heard, there's a huge difference between having a 'working' level of fluency and having a 'native' level of fluency.
I think Dakota's probably familiar enough with the language to get about on her own, but not enough that she would manage well compared to other, native talents. There's a certain amount of jocularity amongst, for example, TV talents or hosts…you need to be more than proficient in a language to contribute to that kind of atmosphere.
Idk, maybe I'm too forgiving towards her, but like mentioned above, it's literally fifteen seconds of video. Difficult to say whether she's really a 'bitch' from that short of a clip.
No. 55639
>>55629For a "good" job at a large company (not over seas that is), your Japanese has to be JLPT level 1 or 2, not any lower than that, so basically you have to know how to both read and write.
However for Kota she's just a model and she doesn't really need to know much japanese, and since she is a gajin people won't expect her to use formal language most of the time because baka gajin can do whatever baka gajin wants to. But yeah I think her Japanese isn't bad, and she can get by fine with it.

she edits herself to oblivion, young girls see this, and feel like shit about themselves, when it's all a farse.
it's one thing if the companies decided to do this, but tbh, nearly every company she's worked for has given her a more natural look than what she's publicized herself.

to save face, kiki claims danny savagely raped her regularly while they were living together, yet viciosly slanders his name online. years later, she makes threats against people who disagree with her by saying "the last guy to cross me ended up dead".
I tried to shorten it as much as I could, but that's a lot of drama.

Let's be honest she's not. She somewhat cute but her belly is unfortunate and I fail to see how her legs are awesome, they seem above average at best and with huge pumps.
She has a cute nose and her face is ok I guess but her chin is terrible to shoot at certain angles. Let's face it, she's a good model if you think marketing yourself is a huge part of a model work, then yes. If we only take shootings, modeling and figure into account she's not model-like.

Then suddenly Dakota gets noticed by Bravo and moves to Japan and suddenly PULL and weebs all over the internet can't stop whiteknighting her and kissing her ass, talking about how much she's ~changed~ and ~matured~ by living in Japan, even though 99.9% of them never met her or spoke to her online or off.

I'm not saying she isn't wearing lenses or that she lied about wearing them, but that if she said they're her natural eye color because it's a near perfect match, then I wouldn't consider it an outright lie about her eyes in general.

isn't low though, she isn't as skinny as Gemma Ward, Gemma's arms are super thin and that's why the elbow sticks out so much, but Dakota's arms aren't really that thin at all. I've noticed they're slightly on the chubbier side if anything. Even in

I also just noticed how squiggly and compressed the creases where her armpit is/where her arms press against her boobs look. Definitely shooped. Looks like she pushed in on her arms to make them thinner and used the bloat tool on her boobs.

>>57203>>57196I think her elbow just looks funny in the image. Bony elbows tend to jut both ways (towards and away from the body) and hers just sticks out inside, while being totally flat away from her. That's what struck me as strange. She seems to not have a joint facing away.
Her stomach looks really weird though. Obvious edit there. Something is wrong with her navel in this photo.

it`s like
>>57209 says. if you have bony elbows, it sticks out on both sides like with gemma ward. if you have thin arms, the forearm muscle is a lot more prominent compared to your forearm and upper arm, so it sticks out like your elbow.

>>58154To be fair, regarding the apology, and maybe I'm the only that noticed it because I have a mild eidetic memory but the original apology she posted was no where near as fake and bullshit as the one that's currently on her blog.
The apology post has been edited multiple times, and each time it's awarded her less and less responsibility and tried to blame it further on Dakota and Kirsten's dissenters.
I also noticed that each time it was edited, and I believe it has been around 3 times in total, it begins to write more and more like Cathy's writing style which I remember very, very distinctly from when she made that Tumblr that one time.
I also remember that precisely one day after the apology was originally published was when that pregnant girl who somebody complimented and said looked more like Dakota than Dakota did received that Anon ask from Cathy saying she looked like a sickly fish with s Michael Jackson forehead (sic).
For a while I wondered why Dakota stopped using her kotakoti.com website and now I believe it's because Cathy has access to them a long with numerous other accounts and was fucking things up for Dakota without her permission, kind of like how Kirsten logged into her Twitter that one time. People said that in the old days that it was Cathy and Scott that controlled all of their Myspace/Buzznet accounts and I believe that's probably true and was true for a long time up until Dakota left for Japan. They probably all used shared logins/passwords.
If anybody else here has a strong memory go back and read the apology again, you'll likely notice how much it's changed.

>>58140>>58152By anti social are you guys implying she isn't sociable or anti social personality disorder? Because she and Kiki fit both tbqh:
"Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of a disregard for other people’s rights, often crossing the line and violating those rights. It usually begins in childhood or as a teen and continues into their adult lives.
Antisocial personality disorder is often referred to as psychopathy or sociopathy in popular culture. However, neither psychopathy nor sociopathy are recognized professional labels used for diagnosis.
Individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder frequently lack empathy and tend to be callous, cynical, and contemptuous of the feelings, rights, and sufferings of others. They may have an inflated and arrogant self-appraisal (e.g., feel that ordinary work is beneath them or lack a realistic concern about their current problems or their future) and may be excessively opinionated, self-assured, or cocky. They may display a glib, superficial charm and can be quite voluble and verbally facile (e.g., using technical terms or jargon that might impress someone who is unfamiliar with the topic).
Lack of empathy, inflated self-appraisal, and superficial charm are features that have been commonly included in traditional conceptions of psychopathy and may be particularly distinguishing of Antisocial Personality Disorder in prison or forensic settings where criminal, delinquent, or aggressive acts are likely to be nonspecific. These individuals may also be irresponsible and exploitative in their sexual relationships.
A personality disorder is an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates from the norm of the individual’s culture. The pattern is seen in two or more of the following areas: cognition; affect; interpersonal functioning; or impulse control. The enduring pattern is inflexible and pervasive across a broad range of personal and social situations. It typically leads to significant distress or impairment in social, work or other areas of functioning. The pattern is stable and of long duration, and its onset can be traced back to early adulthood or adolescence."

because of the fact that people interchange the words, i.e. she has some of the characteristics (as do many of us), but that doesn't mean I think she'd be diagnosed as anti social by a psychiatrist.
Btw, most people in power are recognized as either being antisocial or having a genetic predisposition towards being that way. The only thing that intervenes and determines whether a person turns out this way is their environment while they were being raised.
Idk if that article explained it well, I stopped reading after what I quoted because of my own knowledge of aspd, but they have a tendency towards being cruel. I don't see Kaka or Kota fitting into that tbh despite their homophobia and racism.

she's not a friggen psycho. people with antisocial DISORDER cultivate people to manipulate, they can act charming and confident. dakota is not charming nor confident. she might act like she is online where, but every video i've seen of her interacting with real people she's looked uncomfortable. just because there are videos of her at 15 acting wild and crazy with her sister doesn't mean that's her real personality, she's a follower and was feeding off of her sister's energy.

This was just brought to my attention via Kontrakoti, last year when Kota did a shoot for a brand called Tiara Mily, she had a cold sore that they didn't bother to edit out, despite smoothing her skin and shaping her jaw in most of the pics. There are two pics ITT from that shoot already where you can kind of see it, but here's a better one.

>>58244I'm getting the chills because ASPD describes my 'roommate'/ex best friend so precisely. I've known her (and I'm in contact with her, unfortunately) for longer than anyone else I know, and she puts on huge airs about being arrogant and confident and talks all the time about how she is proud of her "ability to be so incredibly cold to people that they will give up on talking to me again." (Her words, as I remember them.) her and I were bffs for 6 years before she made a complete 180 on me and started bitching about me online and talking shit behind my back (while living illegally on my property.) she hates me with a fiery passion and has decided all of her problems in life are my fault. She's never had a job before, and I'm between jobs right now (though I've been working consistently since I was 16, she is now 21) and now that she has one she gloats and rubs it in my face.
I'm sorry everyone. If you've been on lolcow since the start you may have heard me tell this story before. She's a complete tumblr grrrl and a furry too. She's known me in my worst years (being a teenager), but I really don't understand to this day what made her decide to take the plunge and stab me in the back. She would only talk smack online and never to my face. I can see Kiki being like this, I truly can, I imagine it would be shitty to be her friend. But I think Dakota is just really insecure and may have a major case of resting bitch face. I know I am very very insecure and sometimes I can come off as a jerk because of it. I wonder if Kota has BDD? Sometimes really insecure people can develop it, esp. At an early age.
Anyway, sorry for so fucking off topic. Dakota is cute, even with her bald spots and bad photoshop. I wish she would put some color in her face though, the moon face look is (while desirable to Asia) not the best for her. I feel like Dakota is infinitely more relatable than Kiki right now, which I think is one of the reasons her tumblr-milking worked so well. I think most plain girls admire her looking 'natural' but still pretty. While Kiki looks a lot more like a washed up skeleton corpse to me. I might be talking out of my ass.

I don't think she has cut her hair, you can see the back of it when she turns.
It's just because it's wavy it looks shorter and because she has a hime cut it's shorter at the front. Plus she doesn't have her extensions in.

>>59202I agree
and imo she actually kind of looks awful w/o shoop

one trick pony if you ask me
No. 59324
>>59318Agreed. I always do this. I don't get where people think this is some Japanese only thing.
I think it's very striking how different she acts between the TV appearance last week and the one last night. Must not be a morning person or something.
No. 59370
>>59360Yeah, but until now she has actually avoided appearing on TV and stuck to modeling, which was a smart move because as a model all she hasvto do is look good, her personality is irrelevant.
Now, however, just being white and pretty isn't going to get her very far on TV if all she can do is stand there, giggle, and answer the same basic questions over and over again. That isn't a gimmick for a TV personality, that's what every TV show guest always does. She could do makeup and hair tutorials on shows, but I can't really see her doing that unless she has a model sit in to do the makeup on because we all know there is no way in hell she would set foot in front of a camera without pounds of makeup.
No. 59376
>>59320what does that mean btw? she's said it twice now and I have no idea why it's funny to people I'm too American for this.
But I think we're all kinda shocked that she's made it this long. She really keeps to herself but I wonder if she has any secret talents no one knows about, or if she really is just that boring.

>>59476i guess because black is slimming.
y'know, Dakota, it'd do you some good to tone up, but i guess it's easier to photoshop the fat away ~
No. 59512
>>59491Thanks for the answer. rme at the gap stuff. That's really the extent of the interest in her there, I think. At least she's not putting on that fakey cute voice anymore.
Does she use this expression on twitter and ameblo a lot, too? I know sometimes when I use google translate, a lot of the time it returns "hella" a lot and I'm thinking that's what it tried to translate. I think I see "mother" a lot on there too which I can't figure either?
>>59501Huh, you might be onto something there. She does do all she can to cover up her insecurities so maybe there's something behind that.

>>58197In her apology she says at one point "What about Lisa Lamponelli? If my jokes offended you then hers would send you into a schizophrenic rage."
I feel kind of stupid but even though the rest of her actions didn't offend me, this comment did…it's not very smart of her to belittle someone for having a mental illness when she's trying to clear the air about having judgments. Schizophrenics don't necessarily have "rages," in fact one symptom of schizophrenia is a complete lack of emotion. Also, insinuating that schizophrenics react violently is extremely harmful to the image of someone who is sick. It's really pretty fucked up. I legitimately think that she harbors some kind of misconceived bias toward schizophrenics and/or other mentally ill individuals; and likely believes there's nothing wrong with it, either. I could be 100% wrong but at the very least her comment serves to perpetuate these misconceptions people have. I know Japan has a real problem with mental illness but in the Western world it's considered very callous to have these views…

2. Like 80% (made up statistic, but a lot) of people don't even know what schizophrenia is.
No. 59559
>>59491Thank you so much! She's cute, yeah, but I'm still shocked she's not getting flack for it to be honest.
>>59387She really could be huge if she made more tutorials more frequently. She could use that as her talent and do well. Other than that, yeah, she's only famous for her shoops and foul attitude.
No. 59577
>>59569True. It wouldn't be very useful.
I recall a few years ago she did a TV appearance in Korea where she showed how she did her makeup on a Korean model. When doing the eyeliner, it looked so off on the model they laughed? I think. Wish I could find the segment.

>>59596Its just a breif, basic timeline of her life before all the kawaii shit happened. Youngest of 3 kids, couldn't go to school (lol), she's from Chicago (LOL), etc.
There's a much better description of it on kontrakoti but I cbf to go fetch it since on my shitty old tablet.
No. 59616
>>59604that timeline is wrong.. I literally followed her from early 2011, and remember the details to this timeline.
She made her blog in August (autumn), not Spring of 2011. And she started uploading videos on October 2011, not December. (I know cause I remember her youtube saying she joined in Oct. 10, muh birthday, and the day she uploaded the first horn tutorial)
ugh. I feel icky knowing so much.

So I was doing some blog reading today and came across a girl who says in Orlando who said she meet dakota at ulta around 2013.
Its a sad blog with one post, so makes sense how it went unseen for all these years.

It takes a while for your teeth to start getting yellow from those things unless you don't clean them properly.
No. 60757
>>60505>She should brush her teeth a little better.If your teeth are yellowed, there's not anything that can whiten them besides bleaching really. It's a myth that teeth look yellow only if they're not being brushed.
I think her skin tone contributes to making them look yellower, too
No. 60806
>>60793Her sister was a Myspace famous scene queen, and Dakota was a tag along so she had a lot of followers as well, she made a tumblr years later and started uploading pics of her shoops and they staryed getting lots of notes and reblogs so she milked te living fuck out of it. She has zero fashion sense, looks nothing like her shoops, lies about almost everything, and is an antisocial bitch who speaks Japanese like a gruff old man and swears a lot.
There really is no legit reason for her popularity, she's only famous because her shooped pics got so popular on tumblr that she staryed getting noticed in Asia (not even Japan at first) and then Bravo signed her without knowing what she actually looked like because they thought she was already an internet famous model. Then when she got to Japan and went on TV everyone was shocked at how she looks nothing like her shoops, but she was already signed so she started working at Popteen, they kept shooping her, so she kept getting jobs. Thus the talentless shapeshifter was born.
