Damnit i want to not be a mod so I can say something snarky.
Real legit question coming from actual ignorance and a desire to learn. Is tamagochi ownership likely gonna be tied to commodity fetishism and poshness, or is it a poorer person hobby? I completely missed this cultural fad when it happened.
Give me mod status, let me lighten your load. Let me carry you when you can no longer walk.
Commodity fetishism is more about the M-C-M+ relationship than anything else.
As in, the existence of a money system that uses commodity as an intermediate for profit extraction from labor creates a fetishization of commodity since it represents the stolen surplus value of the workers. That relationship can't exist in C-M-C where the money serves only as an intermediate for commodity exchange and it definitely can't exist in C-C relationships where the monetary intermediate is gone due to planning.
A tama toy is like $12 so it's not expensive to get in to and I had them growing up and we were working class, so no? It's silly sure but it brings me joy, I love those little things.
Honestly that's fine. I just felt an uncomfortable loathing with the person who choose to flee her settler home, fill a suitcase with collectables, and posted it to
. Sorry if it felt like I was tying you two together.
Yeah if I was fleeing a natural disaster, my priority wouldn't be mindless junk BUT these are pissreali settlers so...
Well they already made sure their Funkopop collection is safe, they do have priorities
