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.
If zooey deschanel has taught us anything, it's that you can dress period-cute without suffering the period
And with modern fabric, most of period-cute is a lot more comfy than pre-industrial revolution.
I agree with the post with one caveat: maybe it’s because I was raised on one, but I don’t think farm smell is that bad* (on the cottagecore level, anyway). I also grew up near a lot of factory farms and that shit REEKS.
*Unless it’s pigs. There’s probably nothing that will make the smell of pig shit bearable.
I grew up in a farm and hearing city people complaining about farm smells just makes me role my eyes. I go to NYC and everything just smells like piss, car exhaust and micro plastic from all the tires.
Cows, goats, and chickens also can stink. Not always, but my government removed any regulations regarding of that, because they needed the votes of "small farmers" (who then got immediately betrayed).
Ducks are pretty bad too.
Nostalgia can bring the pig shit smell from "unbearable" to "unpleasant but bearable". Though that is from a distance, like existing within sight of a farm, rather than visiting or working on a farm.
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.
Are you proposing we move from cottagecore to goblin core?
Goblincore >>> cottagecore.
That said, I hate how most of the images that pop up when you search for goblincore looks like cottagecore but more earthy. Goblincore should be pictures of people living in caves and shit, not "cottagecore with skulls".

I guess it's not stolen land if it's urban.
