I'm fine with figurative language. I enjoy reading and writing myself, however I believe in context outside of 'creative artistic expression', it becomes a very dangerous instrument in painting reality into any biased story book we want to create with real liferepercussion.

Plus with how much we're surrounded by ads and media, modern society is essentially closing itself into an echo-chamber of words that will grab your attention. Information is getting muddied down through all the noise of advertisement and politics.

but that's just me.
