Oh Maiden, Advance with a Sword and a Rose by Arika Takarano

"I wonder what made you become Lolita? Is it because you wanted to wear cute clothes? Because you like lace and frills? Because you wanted to be like someone? Or was it because you wanted to become cute so you'd be popular with the guys?
No, no, that's impossible isn't it? After all

Actually, the comparison between lolita clothing and a knight in armor really annoys me (but I guess that's because I'm a boring European Middle-Ages History major). So mostly because of that I can't really agree with what's written above. And the first part of the text made me giggle.

Well, anyway, if you like the clothes and want to wear them, the reason "why" you suddenly decided to do so doesn't really matter, doesn't it? I don't really understand why some people try to find justifications for everything they do or say, especially when it comes to lolita... And the "I've always been a lolita maiden at heart even before knowing it" really amuses me because I think it's completely delusional.

I'm okay with lifestyle lolitas, everybody's free to live and think the way they want to. But which I don't like is that some of them want to force their beliefs on others and that really annoys me. This text enforces the lifestyle lolita's beliefs (I guess that was to be expected since it comes from a G&LB) making them believe that their way of percieving lolita is the "right" and only acceptable one, and that's why I think I can't really appreciate it.
