    When it comes to being cozy I think wanting a respite from conflict or our hellish society is understandable comfy

      I mean yeah but the proliferation of escapist media signals the want to resign and fully embrace the spectacle.

          Well I mean you said above that's it is wanting a respite from conflict and our hellish society. That people want to not take on hardship or injustice and just escape into virtual utopias... I might be getting too deep into my head though :/

            I think people just need a breather, Idk, which is allowed probably. If you subject yourself to hellworld 24/7 you will be ground to nothing. I dunno, is escapism an infantile disorder?

              Yeah I do agree that people need breathers but i guess what I'm saying is we should examine why things like animal crossing and stardew valley are popular and that they shouldn't evade critique because they're not overtly problematic
