People marrying objects :P

As I logged in today I got the usual "news" of whatever mainstream bullshit passes for news, but there was also a curious article: People who married objects. XD

Had to read lol..

So apparently, disappointment in other Humans and inability to find peace with someone of your same species can lead someone to start pouring their emotions into .."something".

Examples here were cars, the Eiffel tower, a French bridge, obviously anime characters and pillows with the picture of the anime character, even ferris wheels, and lastly, a robot girl someone apparently built. O_O

(Ring a bell? lol, that why I thought of it.. (Love, Sex and Robots), huh?)

You'd also normally think that perhaps it is men going after some car or radio, but no.. there's probably one object-married woman for every anime character-married man out there.

Guess it's useful research for me since I'm writing stories where a domestic robot with shrinking powers has sex with his owner and plays practical pranks on his sister and him, but to think that this is taken the next step...

What are your thoughts?

The comments in the article where pretty self explanatory.. either "idiots" or "are these people allowed to vote?" means the 'normal' people believe loving an object to be insane, but I guess I can easily speak for everyone here when I say that, probably, being rejected or betrayed or hurt a sufficient number of times can lead someone to believe they "don't belong with a Human being" like every other man or woman out there.

I know this is sudden and weird, but I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

As always, I don't bite. You can say what you think. :)

PS. Yeah, if I had a Mechaela... I'd probably be doing everything you saw in my story and more with her... 😂
