sweet

Does anyone besides me feel like sweet Lolita has been under attack lately? This isn't just in response to the post on egl right now, it's also all the "all AP lolitas are clones!" secrets and just the general distaste people have been showing for sweet lately. At first it seemed like people were just saying "it's not for me", but I really feel like it's escalated to full on hate. People say things like OTT sweet makes them want to puke, and no one jumps in to defend it or say they're going a bit far. I dunno, I'm probably just being a bit sensitive since I always seem to be the lone pink ranger at the Loli meet-ups I go to, but I really don't think sweet is such an overbearing style that it deserves all this hate. Is it really that tacky to look like a cupcake? And is being a little bit tacky always a bad thing? Maybe it's because I've always had a love for kitschy things, but I kind of like looking like a little girl's cupcakes and pony dream world exploded on me.

Thoughts?
