Personifying inanimate objects is usually either a metaphor or signifies something unsettling. This article borders on the latter of those two.
Sorry, that was just the way I took it.
Between the passive aggressiveness
>Sam cuts me off. “Em,” she says, “can you control the volume? You’re very loud.”
>“I am?” I ask.
>“YES,” the entire bullpen yells.
And then the obsessive literalness of the personification of the ipad this was a weird read for me.
- mystikal 11y agoWhy is that passive aggressive? Because she asks "I am?" instead of just adjusting the volume?
- jklinger410 11y agoThe entire bullpen yelling YES as if an loud ipad is disturbing their sanity. You know what though? I'm just expressing how the article made me feel. As a reader that's my right. You obviously don't agree with me so let's leave it at that.
- mystikal 11y agoShit man, I just genuinely didn't understand. I haven't even read the article. I would probably call the yelling straightforward aggressiveness, but I'll agree that it's childish, overblown, and reactionary.
