Lolitas, Please take the time to read and sign this petition:

The Lolita community has been misunderstood for years, usually mislead by the title of Vladimir Navokov’s novel “Lolita”. The community has been fighting really hard to make people understand that, no matter the personal idea of what Lolita is (a fashion, a lifestyle, an aesthetics), it is NOT about sexualising women, but completely the opposite, it is about women feeling comfortable with themselves in clothes that make them feel pretty and that do not relate with attracting men. Moreover, Lolita is not about ageplay. It does not try to make young women look like little girls, hence it’s not focused on attracting pedophiles. It might make the girls look a bit childish depending on the style, but that is not the point for a lolita.

With the promotional poster in which a girl is shown wearing Lolita clothes, her expression being overtly provocative and teasing, the productor and director are causing a massive harm to the Lolita community, leading people who does not know the movement to think that it’s about sex and ruining the hard work that thousands of girls have done during years. Due to this, we ask for the removal of the poster plus a formal apology from both of them.

There is also speculation that the girl in the poster may have been mislead about the use of her photos.

As a lolita & a feminist, I am outraged by this. Lolita fashion has absolutely nothing to do with pedofilia or sexuality. Women should have every right to dress however they wish without having to be questioned regarding a so-called sexual agenda. Women’s fashion should not be seen as having the solitary function of attracting the opposite sex! Fashion is about personal expression, and the very notion that women only engage in fashion or style their hair, their nails, or their make-up to attract a sexual partner or please men is ignorant & belittling! What an egotistical, male-oriented view!
