#i noticed that I'm developing a probably weird little pet peeve#where people see any kind of monetary system in a game and immediately complain about the devs bringing capitalism into it#like i get that we're all traumatized by the modern economy but also i just. aughh money as a concept =/= capitalism#money has existed as a concept for way longer than capitalism has#like i get wanting the perfect socialist communist utopia but like.#maybe a game about reviving a dying community's economy or a game about running a potion shop aren't. the places to look for that?#not just games either but a majority of the media i partake in is games so its just where i see this kinda thing the most#in not even wanting to defend money like of course it would be better if people were just given what they need to live and thrive#like i said its just a weird pet peeve I've developed even i don't fully get why it bugs me so much#kam talks#ive got a similar weird pet peeve re: folks who get mad about 'be normal' and 'normalize x' thinking its about conformity#like no imo normalize means stop making a big deal about something you personally think is weird or unusual#like its directed at the people responding to the thing not at the people doing the thing#and 'be normal about x' is similar but also brings to mind the idea of like. dont dehumanize people by treating them like devils or idols?#yes these can be misused and need to go on the shelf but also interpreting it as pro-conformity just feels disingenuous or misinformed
