This is going to be one of those texts where I leave half the things unwritten because I cannot be bothered with all the developing of ideas and the explaining of tangents and interconnections and the constructing of examples.
Dirty Care.
If you actually spend a moment, it is clear that this not even close of an equivalence here, and yet one of my impressions of “Cozy RPGs” had me thinking of Elsa Dorlin’s concept of Dirty Care.
Dirty Cozy.
Cozyness is a question or perspective. Cozyness is based on not seeing things.
A game about running a bookstore is cozy as long as you do not think of self-exploitation or of fearing for you economic survival.
There is always a dark side. It is your decision whether to ignore it. It is your right to ignore it.
