Caelistis: Why are they all fat?

Think about what's in your average burrito. Now think about eating three of them a day.

The_Original_Roxtar: thursdaypostal: Goddamn you guys are racist.

Non-Hispanics making fun of Hispanics dressing like Japanese... makes the Non-Hispanics racists.

does that mean white people can go around in black-face now? are the black people who complain about it the real racists?

First of all, I was primarily talking about all the sharpie/pregnant/fat mexican comments, and second of all, the Japanese Gothic Lolita is a highly stylized form of Victorian clothing, so MAYBE THEY'RE THE REAL RACISTS.

And no, blackface is nothing like EGL clothing. What the fark are you smoking?

Bleh. There are many things in anime/manga (and related Japanese cultural exports), that I enjoy. Lolita fashion, however, is one of the things that just irritate me, because of its relationship to modern Japanese culture's* creepy insistence on conflating childish cutesy-ness with sexuality. I'm not just talking about pornography -- for example, it's creepy even when in some mainstream anime/manga series there are "loli"-ish characters. Not everything from Japan is worth importing here, FFS.

*segments of modern Japanese culture, anyway

Iceman208481: What's a lolita?

go to NSFW PORN SITE type lolita into search and find out.

exvaxman: feckingmorons: About once a year I drive there from Florida through all the towns that you hear such terrible things about. I never had any problems.

I had a neighbor two doors up who drove through every year on her way to her home in ecuador. She never had a problem, even though she was an elderly lady who was an easy target. She bought a used car (usually a subaru 4WD) and took a couple of months to drive from the US east coast to her winter home, and sold the car for airfair back to the US. She often made wide diversions to visit places and never had an issue.

It goes both ways, I know an archaeologist who used to work in southern Mexico, he was driving along on a rural road and BAM!!!... he kills a guy in the road. A group of people were about to lynch him until somebody convinced the crowd that the dead guy was drunk and suicidal and he jumped off an embankment and landed in front of the car on purpose.

A botanist I know was camping with another guy and two women. Some guys showed up, robbed them at gun point and raped the women, threatened to kill them but left after a while.

Another botanist friend goes to the Ensenada area almost weekly for research and has been for years, she's blond so she sticks out like a sore thumb, often goes alone and never has had an issue.

I agree. There's more than one otherwise interesting manga or anime I've put aside because of the creepy factor of the handsome 20-something looking hero getting jiggy with the 14 year old female sidekick.

Ick.

Big difference between a sexy woman in a skimpy schoolgirl costume and a woman with the body of a 10 year old dressing like a 10 year old with the intent of being sexually attractive.

This makes me shake and cough.

Clicked on this expecting some hot latina bootay.
I'm sorely disappointed in Fark today. :(



/hot, on multiple levels

This subculture needs more anime-eye contact lenses.

And simultaneously.... working all day at somebody else's job, longer ours for less money while also smuggling in, then selling, all the illegal drugs consumed in this country from a lowered and bagged 64 impala with a mirror polished shine. So Lazy.

This makes me shake and cough

mhd: Just like the old man in that book by Nabokov? If so, then don't stand so close to me.

Wait... is that an Archer reference to loading up a car with snow in Big Bear/Baldy and driving back to LA that I missed?

Foxxinnia: All that Saint Seiya went right to their brains.

I'd say it was Candy Candy what went into their brains instead.

Anyone remembers when the emo-bashing in mexico was on the news? I remember even reading about it on fark -- it was hilarious.

Dinobot: Anyone remembers when the emo-bashing in mexico was on the news? I remember even reading about it on fark -- it was hilarious.

IIRC, it became less than hilarious when it turned out that it was largely a matter of homophobia, because the emo subculture there was felt to be too accepting of homosexuality.

feckingmorons: sno man: feckingmorons:

About once a year I drive there from Florida through all the towns that you hear such terrible things about. I never had any problems.

Then what happens when you get to Mexico?

I pay less for gasoline, drive on a toll road that includes insurance against damage from the road or road debris in the price of the toll, I can drive as fast as I want on the well maintained road without risking an expensive speeding ticket as the police have more important things to do, and then I visit friend and have a great time in Nuevo Leon.

Mexico is fantastic.


Is ransom insurance included too?

Dinobot: Anyone remembers when the emo-bashing in mexico was on the news? I remember even reading about it on fark -- it was hilarious.

Yeah hysterical that a group of people get beat up for how they dress? I know this is fark but I fail to find the humor in that.

LOLita No



EGL Yes







Something a little more modern (a splash of punk)



And the male equivalent



// all fine and dandy to me for occasional wear, but not as an every day thing. I also tend to lean toward the evil (dark colors, sharp angles) side of fashion.

Swarthy is good. Swarthy works. I would like some more swarthy please, sir.

Yes, that is me.

I also wanted to point out, that lolita fashion is not an Anime subculture. Lolita fashion is from Japan derived from victorian and rococo fashions. Basically it's a street fashion in Japan. It gets clumped a lot at Anime Cons. Also the dresses are expensive to upwards of $300 to a $1000.

And with that I'm going have another double martini.

That doesn't look so much Lolita to me as Victorian, but I don't know much about the "live action" portion, so to speak.

lordargent: // all fine and dandy to me for occasional wear, but not as an every day thing. I also tend to lean toward the evil (dark colors, sharp angles) side of fashion.

I was going to make a joke about that, but then I realized that this is exactly how I would describe the way Darth Vader dresses. So, yeah.

SO mexi loli's? I'm ok with that

sort of cute

Seems like a lot of farking effort and money for silly affectation.

If it was effortless and cheap, I'd say make yourself look however you want. Whatever makes you happy. But when you spend so much time and money on it, I have to wonder about your priorities in life.

Sgygus: Caelistis: Why are they all fat?

Those with native American genes do not do well with on a high-carb Western diet.

/lots of diabetes

Especially the people of the arid southwest. Not a lot of carbs in the desert, their bodies adjusted appropriately.

Back to the thread: Those look like Quincinita outfits to me.

lordargent: Also

Neo victorian > EGL


The hell you say.


/yeah, yeah, I know what you actually meant

GhostFish: Seems like a lot of farking effort and money for silly affectation.

Some people spend a ton of cash on non-mainstream fashion.
Some people spend a ton of cash ricing out their cars.
Some people spend a ton of cash traveling.
Some people (like me) spend a shiatload on camera gear so that we can take photos of some people (like them).

// also spend a ton of cash traveling, another reason to have expensive camera gear.

// In fact, I just got back from Aruba Friday night. And all I have to say is

BABY OSTRICH!!

"Quinceanera" About 22,500,000 results (0.13 seconds)

But yeah, I was thinking that this wasn't much of a stretch based on how ridiculous those quinceanera dresses get.
