I’m not sure I have this - but I am going to ponder on it. I have some questions though. What is the difference between being noticed and being perceived? Is it not just semantics? And also, do you actually not like the wordplay, or do you just object to it being called something it is not? (This would be my issue!)
So, for me, being 'noticed' is equivalent to being positively recognised for something I have done or produced. While being 'perxeived' is having someone watching me *as I am doing or producing the thing*.
I like wordplay if it's relevant to elements that already exist and a human brain has made connections between them. If, however, an element is being retrospectively shoehorned in then it's a NO.
Ok. For me, I would probably use observed instead of perceived, and yes, I agree that it is not a pleasurable experience. I’m not sure I know where you are coming from with the pun - an example would be helpful.
Right. So SUPER CALEY GO BALLISTIC CELTIC ARE ATROCIOUS is the most famous newspaper 'pun'. BUT IT IS NOT A PUN. Why? Because there was no Mary Poppins connection to the football match in question.
See, I don’t. For me, perception is about understanding and I see it as broadly positive (although you can perceive something incorrectly) whereas to be observed is to be watched closely and judged accordingly. Of course, it could just be the baggage of “teacher observations” which leads to that association. I don’t think being perceived has to involve physically looking at something though.
I’ve got a few:
Good: Photoshoots
Bad: Seflies
Good: Recording / recording my singing
Bad: Live performances / live singing
Good: Tomato sauces
Bad: Raw tomatoes
Good: Writing a revision
Bad: Writing a draft--a first one at that
I could go on 😂
Ah these are great ones! Feel free to go on!

Gotcha! Semantic relevance!
I think there's more of a judgement attached to being perceived? Not sure!!

Thinking about this some more I think the key distinction for me here is being noticed as an intellectual entity and being seen as a physical being 😳
Being watched vs feeling seen!
Yes!
