What gets me about all this are the odd crossovers. There is a gay man who works out and dresses in masculine drag like Levi's and flannel and ends up with his image frequently used to promote right wing messages. And hyper masculine young men playing kill sport games online don Hello Kitty outfits to demonstrate how edgy they are. The socialogical links with aesthetics are there, but the reality of how people make use of them is all over the place.
