    I do like the idea the baby gear can be designed aesthetically for the parents using it. Not just soft pinks and blues, and preschool prints.

      designed aesthetically

      “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.
