This. It's actually a fashion history thing. Small decorative hats worn by women were pinned in and, more to the point, were decorative. Functional hats are meant to be taken off indoor, regardless of gender. You'll see this in period films with ladies wearing bonnets and straw hats: the women undo their bonnet…

Yeah, Japan is also very self policing on knockoffs. They happen, but rarely ever on this scale with such a successful shop.

They aren't even knock offs. Bellemaison has an official license with Disney. Disney licensing just has to approve product copy, from my experiences working with them. Advertizing, including on the website, doesn't require extra approval from them as far as I'm aware, so typical Japanese spelling errors go through all…

Yeaaaah, their biggest size is a Japanese 75 D, which is a US 34 C.

Agreed! And Belle Maison is licensed with Disney, Japenglish spelling errors aside, so Disney is aware and ok'd these designs. Honestly, I don't see issues with these sets that aren't present in more widely available sets in the U.S. Right now, it reads as a lot of hate and as yet another piece of "Oh those wacky…

Ah, I heard it as "Dipsy." Good to know they stopped animating her with the crossed eyes, though.

Yeah, I learned what my bra size is in Japanese sizing just for this... a 75D is their largest, which is a 34C. Good news for me, since that's my size, but I don't know for certain if the panties would also fit right, and it's still vastly limiting for all my friends that also wanted a Sailor Moon set when they were…

It's not just teens. I'm 27 and a convention goer, as well as someone who recently left college after too many failed attempts. It's really, really not just teens. I get really hyped on fandom stuff, but I still heard some fangirls in an upper division class talk about how they hope season three of Shelock doesn't…

Eh, it is a fan name, but she does make an appearance where her eyes remained crossed and she messes up a lot. Her real name is Dipsy Do now.

Well, in the case of the VlogBrothers, they're kind of famous for other things that lent to their Internet fame spreading. Award winning novels by John comes to mind.

Other than that, I completely agree. It's a great way to present new ideas and concepts and shows that probably wouldn't get picked up so easily (or…

Dogma is amazing in that regards: the protagonist is female, Jay and Silent Bob state themselves as being pro-choice on the basis that it's a woman's business and a woman's business alone what she does with her body in their first scene, points out how ridiculous it is to think that Mary was a virgin her whole life…

You're pretty lucky in that respect, then. Even out of my high school friends that got me into his films in the first place, a lot of them have resorted to the "femi-nazi/stop hating men so much" crap when things got a little to heated for them, though they claimed to be pro-feminism.

I've always found it ironic how Smith fans tend to be these obnoxious dude-bros where they ignore how well rounded and personally secure most of the women in the films are. He doesn't even glorify the bro dudes of his own films so much as show them for what they are: problematic people who need to get their shit…

Scott Baer should remove his Finn icon. Jake doesn't approve.

If you're neither Catholic or raised Catholic, what is you basis of understanding catechism against those who were, though? Catholicism is very much so a cultural identity as it is a religion, and even within the religious rules, if you were baptized Catholic, received Holy Communion and Confirmation, you are Catholic…

Hey, your statement that I was directly responded to cast doubt on why someone would even know one another in college with an age difference, as if the only way was if someone older than 21 could know a college freshman was if they were failing or a TA. I'm in no way condoning someone dating a minor. I am, however,…

Or if the older party has switched majors or exploring a new one or took a break from school or was in the military or couldn't afford college before... There are a lot of completely valid reasons as to why someone older is in college and taking basic classes where they would meet someone with a significant age…

Um, never said I had the authority, but having gone on 4chan for years, talking to its founder and most visible mod, and having partaken in some of the protests myself, I'm going by what I've observed.

Which is why I said "and their supporters." It still doesn't mean that everyone posting anonymously on 4chan's boards, even /b/, is part of Anonymous. Again, a lot of that board is a bunch of Internet Tough Guys that are actually too young to use the site in actuality but can't be blocked out because of anon posting…

When you're talking about Anonymous as a hactivist group, even with a history of working on 4chan (and /b/ by extension), it doesn't make every mook posting anonymously there a hacktivist that is part of Anonymous. One asshat posting trolling (I hope) comments about pedophilia doesn't follow the whole "We are legion;…
