I'm a former professional musician. Not being able to tell the difference between your own pet being tortured and an object on tv being destroyed in a commercial would be a severe mental disorder. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7044560/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7044560/

People have anthropomorphised and attached sentimental value to musical instruments and other artistic instruments since the beginning of civilization. Just because someone writes an academic paper claiming it's a disorder doesn't mean we should care what they have to say. https://cellomuseum.org/the-photographer-and-the-cellist-doisneau-and-baquet/ https://cellomuseum.org/the-photographer-and-the-cellist-doi... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_(guitar) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_(guitar) https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/feb/20/it-feels-like-an-extra-limb-musicians-on-the-bond-with-their-instruments https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/feb/20/it-feels-like-... https://psmag.com/economics/the-benefits-of-bonding-with-a-musical-instrument-50265 https://psmag.com/economics/the-benefits-of-bonding-with-a-m...

  There's a big difference between "I give my guitar a name" and "Seeing a commercial where a trumpet gets squished is the same as my own pet being tortured". Let's not pretend you didn't say "Watching a musical instrument get crushed is like watching a pet getting tortured".

    This reads like you're accusing somebody of having a mental disorder after failing to understand their metaphor.

      It's a troll and/or GPT. Getting lectured by "CyberDildonics" about attachment to objects is just a little too on the nose. It has to be a joke.

        Remember when I predicted that you would attack me and attack 'how I asked' for evidence instead of actually explaining how watching a commercial of a trumpet being mushed is the same as watching your own pet being tortured? That is what just happened, right on queue.

      A metaphor would be "the boy was a cat as he tip toed quietly through the house". You're thinking about what reasonable people would say and mean, but these people actually want to say that seeing a trumpet getting flattened in a commercial is the same as watching your own pet be tortured. Why that is, is anyone's guess. Maybe to seem sensitive and deep.
