Welcome to Lemmygrad's corner dedicated to anime memes and discussion! (manga/manhua/manhwa/donghua/aeni count too)
Remember to Read the Rules™:
-
Absolutely no racism, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no misogyny, none of that!
-
No low-quality images. Images containing text should be legible.
-
Please mark spoilers with the prefix "[SPOILER]" in the title of your post.

Please mark NSFW content as such. This does not, however, mean you can post hentai.
-
Absolutely no NSFW content containing or involving minors will be tolerated.

Guidelines
-
Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.
-
Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.
-
Try to provide sources for the images you post.
-
There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

What in gods name
If I understand correctly, the characters here are likely used to refer to a fashion trend in Japan; dressing in cute, overly-frilly, doll-like clothing. Ironically, this trend started (in part) as a way to avoid unwanted male attention -- if you dressed like you were younger while out and about, then creepy old guys were less likely to play grab-ass. It's part of Japan's feminist movement -- a way of reclaiming power in public spaces.
NONE OF THE ENGLISH NAMES FOR THIS SOUND GOOD, primarily because most of our translation efforts revolve around pornography and, to a lesser extent, comics and cartoons.
I think that's "Gothic Lolita." Lolicon is short for "Lolita Complex" and is more or less just awful pedo stuff.
Good to know, thank you
