That usage always bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I had to refer back to English classes to figure out why. It is an adjective, but it is not a predicate adjective like it’s used here. It is an attributive adjective and has to be used in conjunction with the noun that it’s modifying.
you know, i think you’re right - and in further support of your argument allow me to point out that the commment directly below yours says, ‘what is it even supposed to mean in this context?’
Just a small loan of some God given bodily assets, a touch of charisma, and probably not at risk of being homeless if drops out of education and becomes an adult with no other tangible skills. Also we only see the 1% of the 1% who succeed. For all of them I expect many ended up in actual porn or at least OnlyFans.

cool, but aesthetic is not an adjective.

thank you for looking it up. i always fuck up adverbs and adjectives so there was no way i was pulling out attributive adjective.
i just knew they were wrong and i was right. now if you don’t mind ive got some clouds at which i need to go shake my fist.

This isn't a grammar issue but a semantic one: if you make an aesthetic choice, that choice is aesthetic

In this context aesthetic means "aesthetic[ly in line with me/the situation]". It means big mood, but for style.

eh, not everyone will get the meaning the first time they encounter a new usage, but if it makes sense to most people it'll be used more

Can Barbies really sit like that now? I remember them having those straight legs with clicky knees that couldn't really bend that much.

Gotta love when people try to use "big" words they think sound cool but don't know how to use, it isn't complete cringe at all.

You can be aesthetic.
Know how I know? They said it, and many of us understood it.

The longest word in that sentence is 8 letters...

Your letter count, much like the word in question, is wrong.

Shit
Anyway 9 is still not exactly "long"

Which is why I specifically had "big" in quotation marks.
