I do find the cottagecore aesthetic visually pleasing and dream of being kinda self-sufficient someday, but people need to stop and think about what kind of values their ‘aesthetic’ implies for a minute.

    Idonno, most of the content I’ve gotten around cottage aestethics has been labor focused - in small farming and renovating houses

    and the value of “trad” is just a correlation, not inherent.

      i get what OP is saying but yes they are identifying correlation and calling it cause and effect.

      i appreciate the level of criticism OP brings to the table, but there is plenty of opportunity to adopt such a lifestyle while still being vehemently anti-racist, anti-misogynist, etc etc.
