cottagecore is unnervingly white… call that shit confederatecore
I feel like people are purposely missining the point of this post. It is white. The entire concept of white people en masse moving into the woods to escape an issue that they are responsible for, be it directly or indirectly, reeks of historical colonilization. Not only that, indigenous bloggers have spoken about the anti-indigenous mindset that comes with claiming lands that aren’t your own due to what you’ve caused, especially since this land may be Indigenous land. Black bloggers have discussed how this mindset is very reminiscent or racism that forced black people out of the deep South, and how cottagecore’s whiteness has made it hard for people of color to exist. let’s not pretend there’s not a connection between cottagecore and the witch community, which is notoriously racist. Maybe instead of running away from problems you all benefit from, fix the problems in the present society.
