Tom of Finland was a Finn who lived through WW2, so it makes sense that his aesthetic of bold leathery manliness is a lil tinged with SS nostalgia. Doesn't make his art or the many gay men who were inspired by it "problematic," but it's good to keep in mind

True, i have a problem how context gets separate from aesthetic, but who even has an answer for that?
