A fashion model is IMO more reasonable, and closer to what I believe, but I don't see any particular reason for ethical fashions to track closely with aesthetic ones, or for retro taste in one to necessarily align with retro taste in the other.
I'm rather fond of Migration Period knotwork designs, for example, but I'm not about to raid my neighbors for cattle.
But that knotwork is just decoration, icing on the cake.
Aesthethics, for me, is a much more deeper concept - everything you viscerally like, as a terminal value, everything that presses your 'Aww yiss!" buttons.
Do you find the aesthethics of a Migration Period warrior also appealing? Helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ift85e38H3M
This thread is for asking any questions that might seem obvious, tangential, silly or what-have-you. Don't be shy, everyone has holes in their knowledge, though the fewer and the smaller we can make them, the better.
Please be respectful of other people's admitting ignorance and don't mock them for it, as they're doing a noble thing.
To any future monthly posters of SQ threads, please remember to add the "stupid_questions" tag.
