I loved this thread last time such a good idea to make another one

I barely browse this board so I don't know if that's sarcasm
was the last landmine thread a shitshow?

gothic lolita or visual kei or bust

>>10934147
Good :)

Can anyone post some cute jirai ita bag inspo

Can anyone suggest where I can go to watch tomorrow I will be someone’s girlfriend *illegally*. I refuse to bend at the knee to the corporation known as Disney to watch my cute jirai show.

does kissasian still work? just pirate it there

Thoughts on the Jirai Kei subreddit? It's seemingly full of ugly fatties and tifs going "omg can boys wear hyperfeminine clothing uwu" and getting hundreds of upvotes validating their delusions

>>10935117
im one of the fatties on there and all my posts get a huge amount of upvotes so i like it

>>10934133
>>10933813
jira kei is mid af, but these are pretty good, so at least you girls are good at picking up the diamonds in the pile of trash

How many of you jirai wearers would say you do have a moderate to severe menhera condition like depression, borderline, bipolar, ED, PTSD, general self loathing?

>>10935224
i have depression and self loathing but its moderate. i have severe anxiety and some sorta episodes where my depression mixed with anxiety turns kinda manic

to my knowledge i dont have bpd or bipolar, i have autism and suspected ocd

>>10935224
I'm BPD as fuck. Regularly smoke, drink, cut, and starve myself of food and sleep. Love showing off the scars on my thighs while wearing jirai.

(Captcha HM-SH lol)

>>10935271
OK we get it, you lack a real personality and like attention

>>10935335
I do, and so does every Jirai and Lolita and Harajuku fashion wearing fucker out there. If you're wearing an alternative fashion that's drastically different from the norm, you're all a form of attention seeker one way or another using your appearance to make up for a lack of an identity.

I have the common anxiety/depression/ptsd wombo combo but I also like most j fashion so not sure if there’s any real correlation.

>>10935425
Speak for yourself, I would actually prefer no one give me any attention when I wear alternative fashion.

>>10935610
nayrt and same. I like wearing lolita in general because it feels like me and I like looking cute even if it's just for myself home alone. I also wear casual more comfortable lolita at home (with fluffy slippers instead of shoes) alone to relax in unless it's super hot and humid. It don't like standing out, but it's a unfortunate side effect of wearing lolita.
I think assuming lolitas wear lolita for the attention says a lot about the person making that assumption.

the english speaking jirai community is starting to feel like a more tiktok polyester version of the 2014 lolita community but i think it can be saved... i think we should not spoonfeed or have "rules" for people who dont care enough to develop their own style. being "jirai" is just as general as being "emo" and if people like AH or other influencers misrepresent it its better to block and ignore. its such a cute, cathartic, indulgent style and if you dont really get it, other jirai girls can tell and it doesnt matter what normies think. sorry for the manifesto ive been seeing a lot of passive-aggressive, gentle-policing-type gatekeeping and im getting war flashbacks. i really like this style and i want to keep connecting with people on social media in a way thats not awful.

nayrt but same here too. if i had the chance to dress how i do and not receive any attention, comments, glares, i definitely would. fashion is a huge part of me and its my passion, not a quirky thing i do for attention

>>10935706
the western jirai community absolutely sucks. the twitter one is filled with asian worshipping they/xe/it/neopronoun teenagers who dont dress the part but feel the need to police everyone else on what they feel is right and wrong when they are OBJECTIVELY wrong on everything they say

tumblr is filled with bullies, reddit is ragebait but its ok, this board can be ok too. instagram is nice because no one fucking actually cares

i just want to dress cute and make friends

>>10935712
So just do it and don't post about it. Fuck nobody actually gives a shit

>>10935712
i think only instagram is worth the time bc people are doing their own thing

>>10936340
they're press-ons, anon. you can find some on etsy

>>10934133
Liz Lisa. This skirt gets so fucking expensive on mercari wtf

>>10935188
Most jirais put a lot of care into their appearance (excluding cutting themselves lol) like doing nails, getting hair professionally done and i don't think I've seen much fat girls around compared to lolita. Plus most are teen girls or women in their 20's

>>10935224
I have BPD and ADHD and years-long self harm habit so i'm pretty much a stereotype. I'm also recovered from anorexia but still get brainworms from time to time

Is it true that girls wearing this style of clothes are usually prostitutes in japan?

>>10936382
theres less fats because most of the jirai girls have severe EDs

>>10936383
some kabukicho girls do but its gotten pretty normified in japan as well. like i think its rare to see a jirai prostitute now

>>10936628
kill yourself

>>10936628
no one wants you especially jirai girls. kill yourself

>>10935117
the subreddit is full of idiots that are incapable of using google, but it is inoffensive because it's all about clothes. 90% of people on that subreddit can't dress (the ones that can dress know they look better than the other girls so they post for engagement), but it's better than the twitter community. the twitter community is a cesspit full of teenagers that don't post coords and think that having destructive tendencies makes them real jirai girls KEK

>>10936383
it was associated with the runaway toyoko kids that hung around kabukicho but it's more of a fashion style now. a lot of girls who are interested in underground idols/visual kei music dress in the fashion

I've been an outsider looking in on this subculture for several years. https://twitter.com/i_mesugaki__/ is eye of the storm for the more sadder Toyoko side of it.

>>10935706
>>10935712
I hate how Tiktok and influencers in general bundle up subcultures to sell to people in small, neat packages like this, resulting in nothing more than a surface level understanding by their audience who eats it up. They're wearing a costume, not clothing.

Is there an updated taobao buying guide with jirai-kei items included? Need to find some more stores on there.

if anyone itt is from aus and interested, i have 2 pieces im trying to sell, 1 dupe 1 dearmylove piece

i dunno if this is a strange question to ask but
how often do you all go out in general and how often go you go out dressed up

>>10942528
I don't go out very much at all personally. If I go out for small shopping of basic needs like groceries, I won't, but if I'm going to see friends I will, since I see that as a special occasion.

>>10942528
I go out almost every day for work and errands. I dress up when I'm with friends or doing something fun

Any tips on getting into jirai fashion while built like a fucking wall

>>10935117
can someone please teach the fatties how to iron their clothes? it would make them at least a little more presentable.

Don't be built like a fucking wall?

Absolutely wonderful idea i will now go and modify my genetics ill also take out some of my mental illness too
so easy and so simple you gotta try it

>>10943111
The same answer I would give anyone about fitting into j-fashion:
-lose as much weight as you can without compromising your health.
-buy stuff that fits you well, if the clothes are a little bit too big that's not much of a problem. If they're a bit too small that's a problem if you're putting strain on the seams or when you get gaping between the buttons.
-make your own.

I have asd, ADHD, depression, and anxiety
my psychiatrist thinks I may have schizophrenia or bipolar because of my paranoia and hallucinations so
also cut myself and have no friends what so ever

>>10943152
>and hallucinations
nta, I have been in the receiving end of psychiatry and schizophrenia, hallucinations are a clear sign of schizophrenia, just know that the pills can:
. make you fat as fuck
. make you feel extremely uncomfortable, physically, hard to explain
. make you almost not able to walk

But it's complicated because it also depends on the person, each person tolerates the drugs differently. Just... good luck lil girl, and get a friend or two, that's actual mental health

>>10935224
My close friend and sometimes roommate was jirai, or at least jirai-adjacent, and had pretty much the whole laundry list, except surprisingly BPD. It evolved into drug addiction and homelessness after she left her husband (for reasons I don't clearly understand) and lost her health insurance. I just found out that she died yesterday, I don't know how but it was probably an OD, she'd had a lot.

>>10943181
impressive

>>10943152
nice to see some other jirais with something other than BPD, hope you are able to get some help ^^

Is there any jirai discord servers worth joining?

The objective of fashion is to modify one's appearance in such a way as to affect their perception, to affect the minds of the people around them, and to influence the behavior of the people around them. E.g. to curry favor with certain people in certain contexts, to attract a mate, etc. Fashion serves no other purpose. (The functional utility of clothing is separate from fashion, and that is not what we are discussing here.) You can go the roundabout mental-gymnastics route if you want, and call fashion an art (and it is) but the objective of art is the same -- to influence people. Sometimes, merely influencing people to pay attention to the artist is as far as the influence goes, and as far as the influence is desired. Even if you don't display your art, or claim that you don't want people to see your art, you actually do. Or to be more precise, what you want is identity, and your art is a route of pursuing that. You're simulating in your mind what people would think of you if you were to look like "X". What you're doing is no different from an artist drawing sketches.

i’m an oldfag and i know young people don’t have a lot of money but most jirai clothes look so cheap and they are, why do people recommend dearmylove so much for jirai and tenshi kaiwai? i get it, it’s inexpensive but it looks like crap. ive seen liz lisa up close and it’s nice but it still looks like cheap taobao in photos. at least you can find some seemingly nice-looking lolita on taobao. some of you have never experienced good quality clothing so you find your trash bag fashion acceptable

>>10944177
dearmylove isnt actually that inexpensive compared to most other brands, its recommended as its one of the biggest and has more sizing options

its basically all really crap material desu. ive bought from a good handful of jp brands, taobao brands and dupes. ive found that taobao brands and dupes actually have higher quality than most jp brands. its like the complete opposite of lolita with jp brand being the best

liz lisa definitely has the best quality of jp brands and is fairly decent, even a fair amount of dupes of their pieces are quite good quality

but most cn brands, especially shengzhongwei, actually are high quality and feel high quality. kittybxllet is the cheapest quality one but at around $10-$30aud per piece you cant complain

but yeah the fashion is really cute though (at least to me) so i put up with the shitty quality for it

Also, I get the sense that jirai as we know it is dead or dying in Japan, is that the case?

also nah it seems its still decently popular. slowly dying but i see new accounts of jp jirai girls popping up all the time
