Yikes, sorry for trying to invite conversation about our different perspectives lol, clearly that is not in the cards unless I feel like being personally attacked repeatedly 😅. Maybe I need to do a better job of using tone indicators to convey I'm not trying to start a fight when talking folks online, or just try to more proactively distance myself from the possibility of reading an antagonistic tone into my message. I do use "😅" a lot, maybe that comes across as passive aggressive.

Yeah I like the idea of homesteading too, I see them as being closely related fantasies. Homesteading is just less of an aesthetic fantasy and more of a reality, but I see hokestreading as a lifestyle as being a component of the cottagecore fantasy. And no, I don't use tiktok, or tumbr, which is exactly what I meant by feeling like maybe I haven't seen the online spaces that created your resentment for the aesthetic. That resentment may be totally valid (for all I know those groups online suck shit and are super gross) taking it out on anyone you talk about cottagecore aesthetics with is less so; I am not those people on tiktok, believe it or not.

I don't think I really understand your position, cottagecore is explicitly a fantasy. Isn't that the point of it? Why would land being unaffordable make it unreasonable to fantasize about having land? Thats why its a fantasy? I'll probably never actually own land, does that mean I'm not allowed to enjoy the idea of it either?

Because the concept of actual hard labor doesn't exist in your experience, or your brain.

Thats a really weird assumption given you don't know anything about me other than an internet comment. My last job was in the trades and regularly involved manual labor.

You seem to be indicating that any kind of discussion where I can enjoy chatting with someone about the different way we see things probably isnt gonna happen; I hope you have a nice day, take care
