Brandomoai: "a lot of Tiki style is considered pretty tacky to the uninitiated"

Adoradam: "desirable as a tiki collectable even if it's ugly!"

The only one who didn't use the terms tacky or ugly was happybuddha. What am I misunderstanding in assessing that most people are saying it's the ugliness and tackiness of it that gives it it's charm? Those are literally the words people are using!
