Elegant Gothic and Sweet Lolitas affected by radiation.

I think using these negative stereotypes about Japanese disasters is certainly in bad taste. No one is commenting on an American collection about it looking like it's been ravaged by the California wildfires.

Kinda disturbing that, in 2025, it's still the Japanese designers who are on the receiving end of cultural and racialized stereotypes. I don't see the Italians or the French being subject to the same treatment.

If this collection was made by Richard Quinn (to give an example) my message would have been the same: it looks like Elegant Gothic and Sweet Lolitas deformed by radiation. I don´t care about the nationality of the designer/brand at all.

You don´t like it? It´s ok. I don´t care.
