lolita fashion (NOT to be confused with loli/lolita cp) is so cute I just wish it were named something else
lmao then call it something else because there’s a reason it’s called lolita and they aren’t at all using it because of cute fashion.
The name Lolita has nothing to do with pedophillia. It was chosen by Japanese designers in the 70’s because it sounded old fashion and European so it fit the style. Due to a language barrier they did not know what connotations it had outside of Japan
The Lolita fashion community is very anti pedophillia, please do not try to say that we are fetishists for using the terminology our community has used since the 70s it is not our fault
Lolita fashion was intended to be intentionally childish, but not because it would be sexual to pedophiles. The original lolita fashion movement was a symbol of rebellion, of girls reclaiming their sexuality from a society that told them to dress formally at all times to find a husband.
These girls created fashion based around a little girl’s idea of fancy. It wasn’t good looking to men, but the women who wore it loved it, and that was the entire point.
Lolita fashion is basically the Flapper movement of Japan (which, for those who don’t know, was also a movement of young women defying traditional gender roles by dressing in ways they found fun instead of in ways that were deemed appropriate).
Rebloggin both because this is good information, but also because, holy crap, that is the most unfortunate coincidence ever.
Like, imagine if they’d have picked a different old-fashioned western name, like Dolores or Pearl. I can imagine at least the confusion would be more wholesome…
And dangit, now I wanna see some fanart of Pearl Forrester in Lolita Fashion.
Seriouly I love how the vampires in this are basically the allmighty janitor of the sims
I see some HEATED debates over the risks of “toying” with ouija boards in Halloween/horror groups I follow and I just want to say a ouija board is literally a toy for kids and if polterghosties existed I’d still seriously doubt that a piece of wood invented by Milton Bradley is a real magical conduit to their dimension
“nooooo dont listen to OP dont fuck around with a ouija board youll opEn PasSageWAys nAwt MeAnT fOr hUmaN ComPreHEnsiOn~”
Caaaalm down there, Lovecrafts. A weejy board doesn’t even work right with all participants blindfolded. The plastic thingamadoodle is only moved around by your own hands no matter how much it feels like it isn’t.
Why?
Because that’s how the human brain works and keeps you alive. It is absolutely full of protocols to move your body without your conscious input. This is the reason you don’t just fall over as soon as you stop thinking about standing upright.
If ouija boards had supernatural powers then the hasbro factory would just be pouring goat blood out the windows 24/7. All the employees heads would be whirling around continuously barfing like a bunch of demon lawn sprinklers. Toys R’ Us would have had to close down decades earlier than it did when the entire board game aisle started eating children’s hands.
Fun little fact victorians viewd spirit seances as a form if entertaiment back when spiritualism was really popular, obvioulsy the ghost knocking to communicate was just the medium secrectly tapping on the table. So really use quija boards to your hearts content
What was really funny about this is knowing that houdini spent his time proving that this wasnt real and but said that when he died he would try to reach out. If he didnt that meant that he was right.
Meanwhile the Autor of Sherlock holmes thought it was real of all people, he even wrote a story where his other totally logical scientist character found proof ot was real
Já viram um video que vos deu vontade de mandar o pc da janela, foi este
@official-portugal que tens a dizer deste bife que diz que levou os pasteis de nata para macau
This truly is the epitome of bife culture
– try to steal a secret recipe
– failing and instead creating a cheap, disgusting fake shit
– completely ignore the culture exchanges between Macau and Portugal that have lasted throughout centuries and resulted in cultural exchanges, including of a pastry that has been around since the 19th century
– claim they invented it
Absolutely outstanding
Just imagine how far up your own ass does your head have to be to pick a symbol of a country, move to Asia, try to copy it, failing to learn the recipe, create something that’s not even close instead, and then proclaim that this one asian country with whom Portugal has kept a complex and meaningful exchanged, has egg tarts because they ‘invented it’.
hell hath no fury like a scorned portuguese
Lmao I used to live in macau years ago and I always assumed it was us who brought it there,like what is this bullshit?
The final nail in the coffin for Fantastic Beasts’ political allegory is when Grindelwald namedrops the Holocaust.
Conjuring a vision of the future, he claims that if the muggles continue without magical interference, they’ll start World War II. It’s a twisted version of the “Would you kill baby Hitler?” argument. We don’t know if Grindelwald could prevent WWII, but it creates a scenario where, if the good guys win, they’re potentially fighting for the Holocaust to happen. As well as being wildly offensive, this ties into Rowling’s unpleasant view of muggles.
While Rowling paints a sympathetic picture of muggle-born wizards, the only muggles we know personally are the Dursleys (who are small-minded bullies), Voldemort’s father (the victim of a love potion), Credence’s abusive adoptive mother, and Jacob Kowalski. We never meet a heroic or impressive muggle. Jacob is nice enough, but he’s also an ineffectual buffoon. Combine him with Grindelwald’s assertions about WWII, and these movies suggest that muggles aren’t equal to wizards. They effectively imply that Grindelwald was right all along.
