I find them cute but very dangerous cuz fire.

Yep! Because I’ve lived in a cottage/cabin. I’ll just say you eventually either become comfortable with the idea of bugs, mice, and small lizards all over the place (including on you), or you lose your mind.

The thing I was referring to is that there’s a whole lesbian subset of the community.

I had no idea that’s a thing. Thanks for letting me know :rosa-salute:

But it’s been coopted into a pioneer-woman style marketing aesthetic, given the original concept was pretty bougie to begin with.

I mean, “American Girl” was a thing back in the 90s. And “Little House on the Prairie” goes straight back to the 70s.

“Cottagecore” is just a new spin on an old fad. And its always been consumerist aesthetic first and foremost, playing on the myth of Rugged Individualism that forms the bedrock of American ideology.
