Pareidoliac 

The type of person who looks at an object and despite the context, somehow finds a way to project a completely unrelated meaning, intent, or resemblance onto that object; generally done to disparage that object or the person displaying that object.

To see a perfect example of this google: "Prada pulls products after accusations of blackface imagery"
I showed my roommate a shoop da whoop video and now she's convinced I'm racist because that face somehow "enables the ongoing oppression and dehumanization of Blacks in America for like 200 years"...err something like that. Jfc... what a pareidoliac.

Pareidolia 

Pareidolia is the phenomena of seeing faces/figures/forms in patterns; as opposed to where one normally sees faces/figures/forms (on animals including people/landscapes etc.)
Pareidolia is seeing what appears to the individual to be a representation of a face, figure, or form in the clouds, wood grain, marble, smoke, shadows, or any non-homogeneous area. It can also be an auditory phenomenon as in hearing white noise or a record played backward that sounds to the individual like words or a melody that isn't actually there.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
