Maybe because it’s a literal satire on how communism doesn’t work in theory and was too deep for your empty head if you’re going to pass it off as ‘lol talking animals’.

lmao ok a book about talking animals was too deep for me sure

I misread this as animal crossing

In the more sophisticated versions of the critics of ideology - that developed by the Frankfurt School, fur example - it is not just a question of seeing things (that is, social reality) as they ‘really are’, of throwing away the distorting spectacles of ideology; the main point is to see how the reality itself cannot reproduce itself without this so-called ideological mystification. The mask is not simply hiding the real state of things; the ideological distortion is written into its very essence.

The Sims ended up with same-sex relationship support thanks almost entirely to gay programmer Patrick J. Barrett III.

“At the time, it wasn’t considered ‘normal’ to be gay or lesbian,” [Barrett] said. “Some even saw it as dangerous. But in The Sims it was normal and safe to be a gay person. It was the first time we could play a game and be free to see ourselves represented within. It was a magical moment when my first same-sex Sims coupled kissed. I still sometimes wonder how in the world I got away with it.”

So it’s a well known secret that drinking and drugs is very common and heavily used by servers in the restaurant industry.

I’m just wondering if this was the same back in the day of like idk downtown abbey when rich people had like an entire wait staff
