Comment on Bullets don't shoot people. So why do cars 'kill' cyclists?parent

Comments

What was anthropomorphized in that sentence? Inanimate objects can burst through things and kill people.

I used the phrasing the article author was objecting to for cars. It anthropomorphized to the same extent as what the author is complaining about. So, I suppose you could collapse the thing either way- bullets are often anthropomorphized just as much as cars, or your direction which I'd agree with- there isn't much anthropomorphizing to begin with in either of them.
