Community Lolitas - 1000% more backstabbing than you'd expect.

I think you could argue that each caste of lolita is a herd of cows in its own right.
Sweet: Clearly playing off the little girl vibe. No matter how much they try to deny it, nearly every print includes some form of baby or toddler item, candy or sweets, or generally childish design. They're also the ones you see with loads of junk on their hair/jewelry/nails and tend to wear more of the wild, cavity-sweet colored wigs.
(Sweet lolis also tend to be fatter, in my experience. There's just something about an obese girl smushed into a print covered in pancakes that's viscerally satisfying.)
Notable cows include
  • Chanel
  • Venus Angelic
  • Any lolita who actively admits to ageplay
  • That one fat chick who sewed two skirts together
Classic: aka "Lifestyle Lolitas" Usually older girls, often with more narcissistic or holier than thou outlooks. Dress more like your grandmother's porcelain dolls (though have an easier time passing as just girls who wear old lady clothes or period actresses.) Colors tend to be more neutral but often still include childish items like bears or rocking horses. Like to think of themselves as "mature" or above younger girls/those who dress Sweet. Often mold their lifestyle to reflect Victorian or Edwardian aesthetics. Drink loads of tea.
Notable cows include
  • Anyone attempting to sell limited edition prints for $800+ (may cross-contaminate with Sweet and EGL lolitas on certain prints)
  • Misako (late 20-something, 30-something lolita who has made a career out of dressing this way, not really a cow)
  • 35+ age women who are basically Miss Havisham
Elegant Gothic: Argue that they are the "original" or "old school" lolita. Dress almost exclusively in black, dark blue, oxblood, and white. Often look like someone's doily collection shagged a tea cozy. Pull inspiration heavily from Mana, a Japanese cross-dressing musician and designer. Overall a dying breed. "Lolita" dresses sold in Hot Topic or as Halloween costumes are trashier versions of this kind of lolita.
Notable cows include
  • All of them
There are tons of subcultures within lolita that just get more and more ridiculous the further you go (ie Pirate, Wa-Loli, Country, and the mess that is OTT Sweet or Decora.) This is a very deep, very frilly rabbit hole.

When done well, it looks like pretty decent period dress. When done badly...

Well, they don't seem to have anything else going for them in the appeal department. Is there actually a large fan base for this? It's surprising that not one model would be conventionally attractive.

To be fair, there are quite a lot of attractive girls who do this.
You don't see those girls unless they're batshit or piss off someone else in the community. Mostly what the internet gets to see are the nasties.

Are male lolitas actually a thing or just a running joke among them?

Depends on the brolita. The average crossdresser generally fails unless they're already familiar with making themselves look more feminine. Successful brolitas are nigh indistinguishable from the women (and are often better at makeup than the average lolita.)
An unsatisfying newish trend with brolitas is full beard, which only prompts the hammier girls to think their facial hair is acceptable as well. :cryblood:

So is my initial assumption of them trying to dress like 19th century little boys in like newsboy hats and stuff like that false?

How to tell when a thread is infected: someone tries to pass off dudes unironically trying very hard to look like little girls as better than manlier men who wear this shit as a joke

Did you just use the word 'successful' in the context of simpering faggots who dress up as ageplay pedo-bait for fun?
