I saw a TikTok video that says that modern "aesthetics" are like porn tags in that they categorize women for the purpose of commodification. They not only promote a certain aesthetic, but also a certain personality, face shape, body type, etc. The sexualization of women can be seen in names like Mob Wife and Office Siren. The words wife and siren can play into men's temptations, even if that's not the intent of the aesthetics' creators. While not in the video, it can be compared to the "dere" types of anime, like tsundere (aloof/lovey-dovey), yandere (sick/lovey-dovey), dandere (silent/lovey-dovey), himedere (princess/lovey-dovey), etc.
