hey dude, i know you meant well but i think some cranks here are ruining the discussion
Just a modern day freedom absolutist /narcissist, who thinks that it's unfair they have to live in a world with other people that have their own opinions on things and that actions can have reactions from the fact that we are all existing together in this world.
Honestly same kind of logic as crypto heads and war mongerers who find it annoying others complain about them, burning down the world, because it makes them happier and wealthier.
The idea that world needs to get out of their way to let them do what they want us kinda the whole problem cause you have to empathize with others and so many have decided that's lame.
I'll proudly ruin the discussion of people trying to be judgmental twats. Thanks.
On one hand, the driver should have known the context of "lolita" stuff being super creepy.
On the other hand, if he was wearing any other fun costume, and not cross dressing, this would not have been a problem at all. There's nothing inherently wrong with drag. There are well respected Toronto comedians that wear drag for characters and they are great.
Case of some dude with niche interests who only knows of "Lolita" from the Japanese cultural perspective, which is more focused on a specific fashion style and has no direct relation to the book.
Honestly, he wasn't doing anything wrong. From the picture in the article, all he would do is wear frilly dresses; probably thought the students would find it amusing. Like... Big deal? Not like he was diddling the kids or anything. People need to stop being so judgemental.
Exactly. This is just like when I got fired from my bus router after putting up a sign calling it “The Epstein Express” and decorating it with the work of famed cartoonist Benita Epstein. Can’t believe the parents were so uptight
There are times when pushing societal boundaries is fine. Imho driving a school bus isn't one of them.
There’s absolutely no context in which “Lolita” isn’t a sexual thing
Except yea there is. It's called "the Japanese Lolita fashion trend about a cross of Victoria and Rococo dress". I literally have been explaining it. Sorry y'all want to remain ignorant that other cultures exist. I'd recommend you go educate yourself except we all know you won't and instead will just continue to be an ignorant dip shit who wants to make assumptions of others.
If this is the creepy hill you wanna die on, go for it.
If this is the judgmental and ignorant hill you want to die on, go for it.
It's only "creepy" cause you would rather make assumptions instead of just doing 5 minutes of googling and reading about how the fashion trend came to share the terms.
It is literally just a coincidence.
The Japanese Lolita scene is probably more pedophilic than the book itself. You literally used a bunch of creeps to defend your pedo kink
Love how you assume I'm a fan of it just because I'm defending someone's right to their own personal expression. Classic leap of logic. Still just as baseless and made in ignorance to still try and claim the fashion trend has anything to do with sexualization of children. Sorry you're incapable of differentiating it. You should work on that.
And the Lolita fashion scene isn't the same thing as the otaku lolicons. Again that's only a tangential relationship from how the term was popularized. But can't really expect people who make wild leaps of logic to care about something as small as nuance.
You need your hard drive checked
You need your head checked if you make wild ass leaps of logic like that.
