Ok I feel like this needs to be said, by me specifically because I run a cottagecore/farmcore aesthetic blog. There is inherent colonialism rooted within these aesthetics. The cottagecore community is notoriously full of trad fascists and Nazis and the like. I think it is possible to enjoy cottagecore and farmcore but you HAVE to acknowledge the racism/fascism/colonialism that goes along with it and take measures to ensure that you arenāt perpetuating those ideals. If youāre like me, and you actually want a farm someday (or something similar) you need to acknowledge that whatever land you buy will be stolen land, and make sure you donāt repeat the mistakes of your ancestors (or just people of the past if youāre not white, but letās be honest, most of us are white). Call up the local tribe and ask them how they want you to care for the land and LISTEN. Care for the land in a sustainable way that wonāt damage the soil and local ecosystems. LISTEN TO NATIVE PEOPLE. I feel like thatās the most important point. You can like farmcore and cottagecore but you have to understand its issues.
