There are other downsides to this rise of cuteness. Don’t kawaii street fashions (such as Lolita subcultures, appropriating Victorian girls’ dresses with oversized bows), mark a step backwards for equality of the sexes? Certainly the fact that Hello Kitty hasn’t got a mouth has been seen by some as emblematic of female submissiveness.
That's not the argument being made by the article. The article's arguing against actual 'cutsey' things..
This just in, people remember their childhoods fondly and would like to return to the things that make them remember what happiness feels like, and to find comfort in life, because people have made reality become a place where increasingly everything sucks, and your choices are: die, or work yourself to death.
We now go live to Stuart Jeffries as he questions why people want to kick him in the balls while wearing steel toe boots.
Legit reads as if a schizo wrote it. What does K-pop has to do with Islam? They both use cuteness or something.
This paragraph tho
But the country is not alone in seeking refuge in soft and fuzzy feelings. Today, grown-ups in the West have not only been seduced by cute novelties from the East – whether Hello Kitty or bubble tea – they have also become “kidults” on their own terms: we read Harry Potter, binge Marvel films, and gorge on cupcakes, heedless of the truth that these were all, at least initially, products for children. Following the success of last year’s Barbie blockbuster, toy maker Mattel has confirmed that it has 45 other films in development inspired by its various brands, including a Polly Pocket movie starring Lily Collins and directed by Lena Dunham.
Indeed, cuteness might be a form of post-modern irony par excellence – an appearance of powerlessness that is anything but. It’s striking that Somerset House’s Cute show includes a section on the pink balaclava-sporting art collective Pussy Riot, who, the curators argue, use a subversive form of cuteness to protest against Putin.
Now I might be uninformed but I don't remember ever seeing anything I could associate with the idea of kawaii in WW2 Germany and I spent a lot of time watching the History channel growing up.
How dare women not be hideous ham planets.

On it's face sure. But leftoids lie about everything, whatever their ostensible reason is, is probably a smokescreen.
Those cute dresses don't come in plus size. And for the most part neither do Asian women. That's the real reason.

Unintentionally based?
lol is the article denouncing consooom products?
No, it's subversion agitprop
Don't fall for it
Jews pushed this at least on top Japan via hyper consumerism. Now they make these articles kvetching about it for no reason other than to be loud
It's a clickbait trap to get people pointing fingers at each other
If girls wanna keep behaving this way, fine. They'll reap what they show and become childless quickly. Other women will get by just fine

Push the claim that there is an international jewish conspiracy to destroy japan.
The people who have so little self respect that they dress theirself this way are ultimately to blame.
How is bubble tea childlish

They just don't want anything specifically ethnic and beautiful.
How is bubble tea "cute" or "childish"? WTF?
huh i don't think the nazis would've approved what this article called "cute". the Japanese Gothic Lolita sub culture is kinda cringe.
SHAM.

Article literally unrelated to the title, while also being an attack on jews.
