Ehhh not so much talking about anime here. IRL Lolita fashion is very much a girls club. It is specifically about the clothing and the looks and, as ForbiddenVelma said, it is an extremely judgy and expensive subculture. Its like.... the extreme femme clothing version of a Warhammer 40k collector.My knowledge of it comes from anime where it's referring to a specific kind of character based on their style of dress taking inspiration from Victorian/Edwardian fashion. Usually divided into Lolita and Gothic Lolita. Shows that might give you an example of what I mean are things like Rozen Maiden. Some specific characters being Ranko from Idolmasters, Victorique from Gosick, and Kuroneko from Oreimo.
It's most commonly found in Japan as a subgenre of fashion alongside stuff like gyaru/visual kei/Yankee/etc. Just one of the more popular ones to makes its way outside of Japan.
All this to say that its not really meant to be sexualized and even though im not a part of that subculture by any means (too broke for that shit lol), something about AGPs invading such a peak femme space with their lazy disgusting coomer selves makes my skin crawl.
(To be fair there ARE some trans women out there who are legit into the fashion and are androgynous and well groomed enough to actually pull it off but lord knows they arent the ones complaining here)
