"Military" as an aesthetic is very 90s-minded. Like, 30 years ago, when I was a dumb teenager who was excited to see the live-action GI Joe movie, cosplaying as an Elite Operator Guy felt no different than playing around as a cowboy or a knight or a jedi.
Now? Idk. I can only expose myself to so many "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" gore videos, with guys dressed like that opening fire on a crowd of starving Arab children, before I've lost my taste for this kind of aesthetic choice. Its beginning to feel like I'm seeing a guy who wraps his kid in a swastika themed blanky.
I meant I could get behind them using other aesthetics, not military, but were chosen with adults/parents in mind.
