Racism

While the aesthetic itself does not support racist ideology, it is built off of racist systems. It is important to be aware of the impacts of the systematic and ingrained racism that is inherent in Western Cultures. For Cottagecore specifically this can be seen in its basis and focus on the aesthetic of European Colonialism, and the lack of representation of People of color in the media. The impacts of this ingrained racism is important and far reaching. As Cottagecore continues to grow in popularity, it is essential that these systems be broken down to allow people of color a space in an aesthetic that has grown out of a society built on their oppression.
