Dear lolita brands, stop putting crosses on everything!

[johorror]

I never see anyone talking about this (I've seen it like once a loong time ago), so I'm wondering if anyone else is just as annoyed, for lack of a better word, as I am about lolita brands putting crosses on everything now? I understand it for like gothic brands/themes because they take from gothic architecture like elaborate cathedrals and stuff,

I completely agree with you, OP! Soooo tired of crosses everywhere. D:

Yeah it will honestly ruin an otherwise beautiful print for me, I hope they go out of style soon.

Same. I see so many dresses these days that I would pounce on, but then I see crosses and I'm like, "Nope, all the nope."

[johorror]

Also same. I always look for crosses in prints now before I pine for them, it's come to that.

Same same same so much same. It used to be the only thing I had to check for with AP was bears (I also don't like bears though obviously for different reasons lol) but now it's crosses too.

I don't get it because AP used to almost never do crosses--it was always Moitie that did them, and Putumayo (I wear a lot of Putumayo but I buy it in person to make sure I can avoid them).

I can deal with a cat or a character in a print wearing a cross, but crosses as a motif on their own are just hell to the no for me.

Yeah, and AP is my favorite brand, so this really sucks, but ever since posting this thread I've gotten a lot of comments with different perspectives/reasons why this is happening. Even the smallest cross on a print would turn me away, so I'm trying to see these crosses in a different way so I don't hate them so much (and I don't want to hate AP either). Really I'm trying to see them as a symbol of European history as that cross was used for religions that aren't Christianity and also for non-religious purposes and that puts me at ease about it a bit.
