The way someone dresses shouldn't be assumed that they want to or should be infantilized.
@chats-w-josieyАй бұрын
You do have a point! But some things have to go into play to consider this statement. The way people dress, aesthetic-wise, is usually a reflection of themselves, their beliefs, and ideals. The case of whether they are or want to be infantilized is categoric. This goes from mild to extreme. For an extreme example: Belle Delphine. She made a literal living off doing suggestive things, while dressing like a kid AND acting like one. Was this what she wanted? Yeah, for money. One on the less harmful end is the Japanese aesthetic Jojifuku (and Yume kawaii if you wanna look that up) both incorporating elements of childish girlhood but 9/10 times are grown women. They do not want to be infantilized and don't pander to the p3d0filic audience (the majority at least). I understand what you're saying but its a tad deeper than your blanket statement so I just wanted to add to it, perhaps clear it up!

I'm just not a fan of the often very boring, cookie-cutter fashions of today. I stand by the fact that no fashion should be age restricted. It's just clothes. These clothes make me happy. I think it's important to remember, too, that the fashion I wear, lolita, was created to explicitly regret the male gaze because of it's over-the-topness and flamboyance. It was created as a women's movement, and, for that, I'm proud to be part of this community.

Personally I reject the idea of "dressing/keeping to your age." A 43 year old should be able to wear babydoll dresses and mary janes just like any 19 year old can. A 50 year old should be able to enjoy bows and Sabrina Carpenter as much as she wants to. A women's closet shouldn't be restricted to blazers and pencil skirts just because she happened to live past 30. It feels like the term "self infantilization" gets thrown around a lot to shame older women for enjoying "younger" things when you rarely see men get criticized for the same thing like enjoying video games and legos past their teens (not that they should be criticized either but the double standard is obvious.)
@rileysjonger4192Ай бұрын
I wouldn't say there is a double standard and there is no reason to bring men into this because terms like "neckbeard/incel/basement dweller" are thrown at men all the time for enjoying things like video games, cartoons, not being into dating, etc. But otherwise, I agree. The only problem with dressing younger than you are, especially if you're dressing as a toddler, is if you bring sexualization into it. Adults should not be dressing as children and babies if there is sexual gratification behind it.
@liswaneАй бұрын
i mean, manchild is a thing and men do get criticized for not growing up, the difference with men is that it's about their hobbies and permanently sticking to the clothes they wore in their 20s, whereas some women act like kids and even talk in a childish high voice. the issue isn't women not wearing blazers or pencil skirts, nor is it having a youthful style, but acting and dressing like helpless children and doing so much to look like a "sexy baby" as taylor swift said. just my thoughts, i just find it odd, especially the older you get

For some women, I think the 'babygirl syndrome' can be a result of trauma, such as neglect, sexual assault, PTSD, etc. Some women may have been oversexualized and robbed of their girlhood, which causes them to grow up feeling an inherent need to please men and feeling they missed out on being a child or cannot remember due to repression. Some women may want to act like a child as a coping mechanism or as a form of regression during stressful times. With the hyperfixation on youth and the sexualization of girls, combined with individual and systemic factors, it is not a surprise to me that we have adult women trying to hold onto and emulate that youthful appearance. As unfortunate as it is, we live in a society in which young girls and women are simultaneously expected to remain subservient and soft while also being maternal and sexy.
@Mtv20O1Ай бұрын
Honestly, this is the best comment on the video. You explained it perfectly on how there is a difficult line between needing to remain youthful but pressured to be sexually from an early age that bleeds into adulthood.

There is a lot of factors, such as the ones you mentioned, that can explain the reason some woman act this particular way.

We become a different person?? 4) Having a sugar daddy is a completely separate topic that you tried to incorporate; many women that have one do not dress like a baby doll. 5) You're comparing unhinged 10yr olds to women who are free to express themselves.

Kawaii/Lolita fashion isnt about infantilization. Its about wearing something that makes you feel beautiful. Also its a way to dress up and beautifully that doesnt sexualize you. The sad fact is that if you're a woman and you want to be pretty, that often means wearing short skirts, bodycon, boob windows, etc. But kawaii/lollita fashion avoids that and appeals more to the female gaze than the male gaze.

Also our parents didn't speak good English so me and my sister had to help them with a lot of grown ppl stuff that we didnt rlly understand. It didn't help that I was also a "special" kid with a disability. I got to experience the suck of being an adult,and even though I'm an adult now I still act like a kid.

Many millennial women get flak for not hitting the traditional milestones older generations expect. Buying a home, having a stable long-term job, and getting married early used to be the norm, but nowadays, these things are often out of reach due to economic and social changes. Instead of understanding these challenges, society often shames millennials for not sticking to outdated timelines, calling them irresponsible or immature. We need to rethink what being an adult means today. Plus, in our current capitalist world, it's not just vanity when people want to look younger-it's often about staying employable. 🤷🏻♀

I turned 30 a couple of weeks ago. As a grown-up I've never used a baby voice or acted like a 5 y/o, i think it's kinda weird. But I've always been in love with girl core aesthetics and I'm happy that it's kind of trendy now. I'm happy that now as a grown up and independent person I can finally spend my own money on all these beautiful floral dresses, cute socks, mary jane shoes, glitters and blushes. I was growing up in 90s and early 2000 which was quite a hard time for my family, so practical clothes were more important since we didn't really have that much money. There were no big chain stores like h&m in my city yet and I still remember how poor was the clothing choice at the shops we usually went to. I really loved japanese lolita fashion when I was in my teens but couldn't afford this kind of clothes. I wanted to wear dresses but at the local stores they were usually too ugly, too expensive, too much evening gowns OR the biggest problem! TOO LONG! I'm quite short, about 1.59, and I have no idea what was happening with fashion at that time when I was in my early teens, but I always struggled with clothes being too long to fit me properly. I still remember that time when I could finally find a beautiful and cute casual dress that was of suitable length. I cherish it a lot and still wear it sometimes. The next problem I had when i was in my teens - was my grandma. She always wanted me to be ~elegant~ and to dress "according to my age". "It's too childish" - I think I've been hearing this since I was 13-14. Cute prints, ribbons and bows were too childish in her eyes for a 13 y/o girl. This is how I started to be rebellious in terms of my looks and I kept this flame in my heart till the times when I could finally buy my own clothes. I love my current style and I don't care if someone sees it as too childish or too girly or not suitable for a 30 y/o or whatever. I'm finally free and can fulfill all my desires, I have money, I have tons of shops, I don't need my family's approval. If I want to wear my hair in braids, put on lacy socks and floral baby doll dresses and walk through the city drinking my favorite bubble tea - I'll do it!

I think the biggest thing I can appreciate about girlcore is the hyperfeminity. The bright colours and the playfulness of the outfits. I think it allows people to dream and connect with a part of themselves they either never got to or they neglected for some reason as they got older. The best advice I've ever heard is definitely allow yourself to still remember what it is to be a kid. We don't have to take ourselves so seriously all the time, and I think that this really allows people to get in touch with that childlike wonder. It can be very healing. You highlighted some of my biggest issues with this as well, primarily that being the "I'm just a girl" and babytalk. I know people who say "drinky drink" or other things and it just slightly bothers me. We are adults, and while there's nothing wrong with baby talk in certain contexts (with a child or a pet for example) there is also a big jump back I get, personally, with people who talk like that just regularly. As for "I'm just a girl," people using that to act helpless to an extreme or play into "women are just dumb damsels in distress who need saving" that bothers me. It can feed into certain sexist attitudes towards women that I see making a very big rise on the internet again (insert any red piller thought here). LOVELY video, I enjoyed! Thank you so much for touching on the nuances of this topic and hitting the positives and the possible drawbacks. :)

Childhood is seen differently in Japan, and for this reason, these things CANNOT be infantilizing in the way Westerners imagine it to be. That's why old Japanese people buy Sanrio goods, that's why grown Japanese men go to kitten cafés, etc. The equal relationship between child-parent is called amae (甘え), and is so different from the west.

And to be honest, her youthfulness and little girl energy actually looks and feels authentic, like, I can’t imagine my mom being anyone else.

yeah its almost like clothes does not have an age, but people who don't know about alt fashion seems like they like to infantalise anything that's different from what they deem as normal so. also slightly offended here in (alt gothic lolita)

I think there are two kinds of "babygirls". The one's that are infantilized and sexualized for the sake of men and the one's just tired of so much responsibility and who are embracing their childlike freedom. I don't think they are the same.

I think what keeps someone young is their passion for life and the joy of living in the present. That is the way to keep your youth as you age. Nothing can stop us from growing old, but maintaining a beautiful spirit is alluring to all people.

I think there's a big difference between people simply liking lolita/decora fashion and other cute girly frilly things and doing it for themselves rather than doing it to infantilize themselves for the male gaze... and this video doesn't seem to acknowledge that difference. Throwing in random pictures of women in decora fashion right when you were talking about self infantilization at 17:12 is very misleading. Also I couldn't help but feel there a little bit of ageism as well, of course it is 100% ok and awesome to age and be proud of it but damn some older women just like hello kitty and that's ok!!!

Honestly, I'm not gonna restrict myself from living life how I like to. The way I dress is how I express myself. I think a wrinkly 90yo would look kinda gross in let's say a cropped top and a miniskirt, but tbh everyone does. If you liked wearing sweaters at 22, wear them when you're 80. If you like jeans and a white T shirt, keep wearing that. You like leather jackets?. Wear them. Like hot pink? Wear. It.
@killunaticАй бұрын
i honestly adore lolita fashion (the fashion you showed a few times in the video, it comes from japan and has been a thing for a loooong time by now. not everything you showed is lolita, but those that were do not belong to this “new trend” necessarily). i think it’s such a creative way of dressing and expressing yourself through your clothing. that being said i cannot ignore the weird origin and connotations the fashion has. i don’t think that dressing that way has to be inherently weird. some people just enjoy bows and soft pink without thinking of little kids. but it is true that it can be very weird.

I feel called out. I'm turning 30 this year and I love it when people think I'm around 19 (I've a round face, which helps), so I dress as a teenager most of the time: cargo pants, crop tops, pleated skirts... And I look good, I like it, but sometimes I feel it's kinda ridiculous. A couple of years ago I dressed more like an adult, and I still looked good and got compliments for my style. I think turning 30 is messing with my head.

Oh man so I'm 29 but I'm kind of scared to wear bows and like mary janes for fear of being seen as someone tryna be a teenager. I swear I'm not trying to be weird. It's just that now a lot of clothes that I would have liked as a teenager are now available in my size. I really want to enjoy these new aesthetics but then I get hella self conscious and just feel stupid.
@StarlightBibiАй бұрын
Girl wear them and stop taking people who judge women for wearing bows seriously. Men are wearing the same clothes from their teenage days till they grow way old. No one says a thing. So why should women stop being feminine all of the sudden when we reach our 30s or older? Like what are we supposed to wear? A tie and a suit?? No.

I know super mature teenagers who already want to settle down and I know people much older who are very young at heart, and are thrill seekers. Acting someones age is different for everyone. You only live once, dress like a princess if your heart desires such things! However, I believe it crosses a line when people try to sexualize childhood traits.
@justgirlythingswitheveАй бұрын
I love girly styles in my mid 30s. But it’s not about attracting men, my husband isn’t into girly styles, he would have liked me best wearing casual. It’s simply my little protest against stereotypes, it’s letting myself wear what I always secretly liked and it’s celebrating inner child. Life is hard and boring so why not to make accent on attractive and happy things?! (doesn’t mean totally escaping obligations). Yet, have to admit, the feeling of being protected allows women to feel relaxed and safe enough to wear styles like this.

y'all in the replies clearly don't get the point in general, this might not be their case but for me, my mom is a huge narcissist who sees me as "competition" for my dad (they're both abusive, mentally, physically, emotionally.. basically all you can think of except sexually), if i were to describe her best she's basically a boy mom except she didn't have a boy and instead got an only child, that's a daughter. She's 56, lies about her age, acts like a baby and makes fun of every part of my being (even my SMELL??) but when i tell her to stop and defend myself she runs off to my dad and cries like a victim (if he's not there she'll insult me even more), till i either get screamed at or beaten. You might argue, "oh! she's just regressing!", but no.. at least it didn't seem like it when she locked me up at 3-5 years old in dark rooms and beat me up till i had blue marks?? why was i not allowed to cry and whine like the little kid i was whie she still does it to this date?? Point is, these people act like little babies for attention or sexualization of it. Most of them tell Gen-Z they're growing older just to make themselves feel better about their age. AND I HATE HOW EVERY1 USES THE SAME EXCUSE OF "age regression" WHEN MULTIPLE REGRESSORS SAID IT WASN'T THE CASE/THEY FELT UNCOMFORTABLE OR MOCKED BY THAT BEHAVIOR. PLS READ THE ROOM.
