The parents are also heard taking issue with the fact that the bus driver appears to be dressed in a schoolgirl’s uniform. The bus driver is heard saying that they “do this every week.” “And I don’t think there’s any problem,” they are heard saying to the parents before driving away.

    No, it has multiple connotations, which are completely independent of each other.

    The Lolita fashion trend of 90’s Japan has nothing to do with the 1950s book. Period.

    Just because the words are the same doesn’t mean they are directly related to each other

    Unless you also think Goth subculture and music genre is related with 3rd century Germanic people or the 12th century architectural style just because they also share the same word.

      You are saying the fashion trend involving looking like a young girl is only coincidentally called “Lolita”?

      Gonna check out of this discussion at this point. 👋

        Yes. Go read about how the term Lolita became associated with a fashion trend in Japan. Sorry you choose to remain ignorant.

            Nice baseless assuming and clear misrepresenting my argument. Lolita fashion isn’t “love for little girls”, so don’t try to force an association that isn’t there. Sorry you like to remain ignorant. Please. Block me so I don’t have to deal with judgmental assholes like you in the future.
