Moe-Anthropomorphism and Zemlya-chan
Maybe add a section about Moe-anthropomorphism (how in Japan they depict things or objects in the form of an anime girl)? Noraskulk (talk) 07:02, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * The full article is moe anthropomorphism, by the way. And it's linked in the "see also" section of this article. Sandtalon (talk) 07:13, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok, I didn't notice. Noraskulk (talk) 14:14, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

In stocks
Anthropomorphizing is very prominent in reporting/commentary on stocks and indexes. I'm surprised there isn't a mention of this here because it's so prevalent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.241.192.137 (talk) 17:06, 26 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Artificial intelligence (AI) is even more so. 133.45.130.211 (talk) 02:55, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by anthropomorphic reporting? Can you please give a couple simple examples here? I don't see how it can be that prevalent if I'm not familiar with any. JustinTime55 (talk) 14:03, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

Idea for the 'animals' section.
On Twitter, YouTube channel 'The Dodo' was criticized for anthropomorphizing animals. The stance is as follows: if humans apply human qualities to real animals, it may cause issues (such as children approaching wild animals, feeding wild animals, or abusing domesticated animals). I have no sources, so my contributions wouldn't be valuable to the article and may fall under 'own research'. However, I implore others to find encyclopedic information. If I remember: I might do it on my own time. Here are the improper sources, in case they come to use: https://zookeeperproblems.tumblr.com/post/154571135881/wait-why-is-the-dodo-bad https://www.reddit.com/r/likeus/comments/5t8dft/discussion_lets_stop_with_the_anthropomorphism/ Holdonspirit (talk) 19:35, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
