Comment on Is it wrong that my cat casually uses the N word, in my head when I anthropomorphize her?

Your cat doesn’t do anything. You are doing it. That said, thoughtcrime is not a crime. However, you should probably spend some time having some deep thoughts about why you choose to imagine your pet this way, because it says a lot more about you than it does about your cat, and maybe by continuing this, you’re not reinforcing helpful thoughts, ideas, and behaviors for yourself. Or maybe it’s just a harmless fantasy. I’d be more concerned with outcomes than the actual method you’re getting there in your own head. Do you think this is having a positive impact on your life? Is it relieving stress and giving you joy? If that’s all it is, no judgement, have fun with it. Just make sure it doesn’t start leaking out of your head and into your real life where it doesn’t belong.

Well sometimes she says things that are pretty sassy, and it’s not normally the way I’d talk to my friends, but then I take a step back and look at her intentions and not necessarily the delivery, and i feel alright about it. That’s just who she is, and I accept her for it.

You should probably talk to a psychiatrist about it to be honest. I’m not a professional, and I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, but the fact that you seem to be having trouble distinguishing your fantasy from reality, and choose to write that your cat says these things, without taking responsibility for the fact that it is you saying these things in your own head, suggests you may be suffering from some mental illness, in which case you need to see a mental health professional, or you’re trolling, in which case kindly go fuck yourself with a rusty knife.

Do you think when Ridley Scott was explaining the scene to Sigourney Weaver he was like, “and then I attack you, but it’s not actually me, it’s the alien I’ve imagined”?
