I've really been into Lolita fashion for years and I do understand that it's fashion and not meant to be cosplay. I really don't mind the lolified naruto characters actually. A while back I would be offended about it and how people are butchering the fashion and stuff. (I was pretty elitist, too, going on about "real" lolitas and what not) I would've been offended because people would look at that and go "Oh, so THAT's lolita", thinking that it was cosplay with too much lace when it isn't and fear the moment when someone looks at me in what would be considered the "appropriate lolita fashion" and place me at the same level as those cosplay lolitas. But now I don't care. People may look at me and compare me to those cosplay lolitas and get the wrong idea, but so what? I don't expect everyone to be so knowledgeable about everything regarding lolita. I dress lolita for myself, regardless if anyone cares or knows what it is. I think it's fun, and I think those lolitafied characters and that gangster mario are fun, too. I don't take them seriously. I wouldn't doubt them if they made it tacky on purpose with the cheap lace and materials. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they even did it to make fun of lolitas.
