You'd think this would be an easy one considering we're already primed to different definitions of the word fetish. Everyone knows that a fetish can be a trinket believed to have some kind of magic power. But somehow they still get hung up on it.
And yeah I've had a couple of arguments where people get hung up on the word reactionary and just go "nope, you must not own a dictionary" when I explain the definition I'm using lol
gonna be honest - most people think fetishism is an accusation that they're into some weird stuff of the horny kind. the origins of the word have been lost, much as with materialism.
I've never heard fetishism used in the magic item co text and I'm your garden variety precocious nerd, voracious reader, some interest in fantasy/sci-fi type

Do they?
I wish, I swear to God I can't mention a magic item in my Werewolf game without my players howling with laughter

I suggest testing that hypothesis.
Edit: Because it'll be hilarious.

I have a Zuni fetish. Hey, why are you looking at me like that?
