cottagecore & colonialism
unfortunately, cottagecore has a racism problem. the narrative of 'going to live in a cute little cottage', although not inherently racist, uses many of the same talking points as manifest destiny. this rhetoric has been used to justify colonialism in america and canada, for example. no, it isn't racist to want to live in the country or own a farm, and we're not saying it is, but it can be a racist dogwhistle. our intent is educating ppl on how we as a community can grow and learn in the future.
how does this blog aim to be anti racist?
🌸 focus on sharing and reblogging content created by ppl of color
🌸 focus on sustainability and caring for the environment
🌸 amplifying the voices of the indigenous ppl who for millennia have cared the land we settlers now live on
🌸 focus on nature rather than pictures of cottages and homesteads
🌸 focus on pictures of locations outside of europe and america
we want to use this blog as a specifically anti racist space because we want to drive out the racism in cottagecore. racism has no place here or anywhere else. however, since the mod is white, it is possible that we will slip up sometimes. we are always open to feedback!
