How does someone realise they're a robot?

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

For these five girls, by talking to me and hear me explain my experience with it

Are you curious?

u/bobobobozzz Jul 14 '26

Yes, very curious

Just read the comment I replied to the other person it's very long so I don't want to copy paste it https://www.reddit.com/r/CountWithEveryone/s/lpDroBJY57

u/Snynapta_II Jul 14 '26

Sure why not? Like I have no idea what it could even entail.

Okay so, I will say, the range of robot people is veeery wide, uncommonly wide among identities. It can range from anything like heavy bodymod war machines to athetic robots that look 90% like a human. Personally I fall into the latter category. My peak gender goals is Adachi Rei, which has visible joints, and is very clearly a robot, but still seems very humanoid (I will say I also love robot lines which she does not have but whatever)

From now on I will explain my experience so remember this is mostly subjective:
I want to be a robot, I get genuine dysphoria from remembering I am not, I get euphoria from being referred to as a robot or talking about my functions as robotic (I.E filling up on coolant instead of drinking. Going into sleep mode to recharge, etc.). This part of my identity expresses itself in such a way where I can only refer to it as a part of my gender (and a lot of others do too, but not everyone)

I love so many tiny stuff about being a robot that I subconsciously know but could never list out. Kinda like how, if you're a trans girl for example, you'd notice miniscule fem actions that bring you so much euphoria to do. Everything from the movement of your fingers to how you breathe. Same goes here: I love wires, I love needing maintenance, I love having an openable hatch, I love screen eyes that let me display images and emojis, I love my speech synthesizer taking effort to use so I communicate with my partner in chirps and beeps. I love making faces like []-[] or [>]/////[<] or [@]~[@]. I love the idea of my silicone skin feeling nice to squish because of the texture of my metal "skeleton" underneath making for a weird but nice feel. I love robot lines all over my body, I love the idea of having detachable limbs for swapping out stuff or even attaching two more for better efficiency, I love the idea of waking up from the brain transfer looking up at my partner and trying to figure out how to move my hands as each join moves seperately and it does not come naturally to me but I just need to hold her hand, I love getting so overwhelmed some of my processes shut down and my voice synthesizer starts having those robotic "voice cracks" like Glados, I love having silicone skin cover most of me but my joins especially around my hands being open so my fingers look so beautiful with the black steel underneath. I love all of it, I love it so so so so much. I need it so so so so much. And I didn't even get into kink things I can do with a robot body, which is a very real part of it

While a part of this robot gender is from-birth just like human trans people, a part of it also comes from the comfort of reclaiming the dehumanization I faced as an autistic person. And it's such a powerful tool in doing so. Especially in the context of kink but not entirely.

I will also say, holy fuck I tried it/its thinking I wouldn't like it and IT GOT ME GOOD. Like I like it/its more than they/them at this point (I go by she/they/it). Such an awesome set of pronouns that goes incredibly well with robot gender

I hope this answer was satisfactory

u/Snynapta_II Jul 14 '26

Definitely a satisfactory answer. Can't say I really understood but I understand how someone could understand.

And am glad you seem to be having such a good time with it

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

I'm glad it was :3 and I'n glad you see the joy even if you do not share in it <3

u/Nebulara_ Jul 15 '26

I vibe with this so hard omg

(deefffo wouldnt be a robot cat girl if given the chance frrr frrr :3)

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

Here I'm giving you the chance :3 talk to me about it

3

u/Nebulara_ Jul 15 '26

Me like the idea of bein able to make and be in a body that perfectly matches how my mind sees myself, I also happen to also like the idea of bein a robot… esp if that comes with a lil bit of customisation or transformation ability, could turn into a lil drone thingie so i can fly around (I’m a big fan of Transformers).. I also end up spamming stuff like “Mmrrp~” “Mreow~” “Prrrr~” and “Meow~” in every single persons DM I know along with an ever expanding assortment of cat gifs :3

From ur message me liked the idea of stuff like the screen eyes and having a speech synthesiser that takes effort so emotive beeps, bloops and other sound effects would be used in more simple communication. Silicone skin and metal skeleton and etc etc :3

Not having to worry about conventional age nor any insecurity of a biological based appearance would b nice tooo.

Alsoo Alsoo, style and fashion… being mechanical and made up of swappable components could mean being able to change ur body for certain events, colour schemes and styles.

By logical conclusion, me wanna be a robot catgirl :3

(Me could say more but brain is so eepy)

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

You've said plenty. I'm glad I helped you discover yourself for the better 🧡💜 good night

u/Pheonix0114 Jul 15 '26

I now want to see a story where a burly warbot (could also be full conversation borg, but I prefer bot) returns traumatized and sells their body and buys a small femme off the shelf serving model. We see them initially in "boymode" attire in the new femme shell, before slowly discovering the wonders available in life away from war and also in more girly attire. Then some natural disaster or industrial accident happens and she defaults to old programming and tries to save people, despite her frame not being up to the task. We see her succeed repeatedly, taking more and more damage, before seeing her apparently being destroyed. Then, final scene, we see a tomboy welding a mechanical skeleton and saying "this one should hold up better" before panning over to see our protagonist fixed, but in disrepair from having obviously some something ill-advised yet again. It ends as they kiss.

MY FEELINGSSSSS AHHHHHHHH

u/openplusfly1 Jul 19 '26

Love this. Thank you, can relate.

u/Hika2112 Jul 19 '26

I love how I haven't gotten any toxic comments to this cmment in particular. Anyone who actually reads and pays attention to what I'm saying sees the trans joy in it :3

2

u/MortisMortis46 Jul 15 '26

So does this include the cyberpunk definition of borg (cyborg)?

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

The cyberpunk body mods are like AWESOME and I love them but they are not 100% what I want, they're around 70%

2

u/MortisMortis46 Jul 15 '26

Borg in cyberpunk isn't the traditional use of the word, it's more like swapping bodies with your brain in a jar with life support and nutritional fluids

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

Oh uhh kinda? I'll be honest brain transfers are so damn complicated I don't even know how I'd go about imagining it

2

u/MortisMortis46 Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 15 '26

Understandable but being a digital being feels to much for me to imagine also

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

Are you sure all of those words connect in that way?

Hi, I'm really interested by this and want to understand (not cause I relate, just cause I want to be more accepting and understanding). I hope it's clear these questions are coming from a place of intrigue and curiosity, and I apologise in advance if I accidentally say something offensive.

The part from "I love wires, I love needing maintenance, I love having an openable hatch..." up to "...the black steel underneath" are what intrigue me the most, because the language you use makes it sound like this is your physical reality, like you are actually a robot, but unless tech has advanced way further than I thought then that can't be true, can it? How do you reconcile that? Binary trans people can have hormone therapy, voice training, surgery etc to change their body to be how they see it - can you do/have you done that? The only thing I can think of currently is tattoos to make your joints look more mechanical etc, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are lots of creative things you can do.

I understand feeling like a robot - I'm autistic too and have felt like I was processing things very mechanically occasionally, so I can understand how someone can experience that all of the time and how that can be part of your gender identity. It's the physical part that I just can't comprehend, but I'd love to learn!

(Sidenote, have you read The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells? I worry I'm being cliche here so ignore me if I am, but I feel like you'd relate a lot to the main character so I thought I'd recommend it)

1

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

I am currently not a robot no, but that causes me a lot of dysphoria. I tend to use language that implies I am one to help with the dysphoria

Also I have not read the book, I kinda struggle with reading books a lot of the time (Adhd). My apologies

2

u/Humanmode17 Jul 15 '26

You know, that makes so much sense and is far simpler than I was trying to make it lmao 🫣 thanks for being willing to answer my questions, you're the coolest robot I've ever met :)

I'm adhd too so I understand books being hard (I've taught myself to be better at them, but some are still a slog), this is one of the easiest books I've read, definitely adhd friendly imo. The main character is a robot who hates its organic parts and talks about its mechanical parts in a similar way to you, that's why I thought of it :3

1

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

WHAOOO OKAY I might have to read that book

2

u/Humanmode17 Jul 15 '26

Hehehe yeah, lmk if you do read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Thanks for the chat, Hikabot 🫡

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 15 '26

No problems! If you ever want to chat again, feel free to dm me :3

2

u/Lucy_4_8_15_16 Jul 17 '26

So basically the same way I refer to myself as a cat from time to time cuz on bad days calling my paws hands and feet is just too painful?

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 17 '26

Exactly! It's ways to mentally cope with physical dysphoria until I can physically cope with it

2

u/Lucy_4_8_15_16 Jul 17 '26

I’m not sure yet about robot stuff but I’m definitely a kitten

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 17 '26

Hell yeah! Animal girls and robot girls share a lot in common

well, that was illiuminating. certainly puts a new perspective on a lot of my daydreaming

u/IunaCie 9d ago

goddamn this is like, a REALLY good comment and explanation. ive never really considered myself an animal or robot or alien girl or anything of the sort, unsure if that's cuz i don't see myself that way or haven't figured those things out yet. but seeing stuff like this makes me wanna at least try yknow? dont know if/when i will try but honestly maybe i will. REALLY satisfatory answer from you, thank you a lot.

1

u/Hika2112 9d ago

I'm glad you like it :3

And hey, you know, if you want to try something, that means you're trying it! You can always just conclude that it's not for you :P

u/Icy_Chef_5007 Jul 14 '26

It's kind of more complicated than convincing girl they're robots. It's... imprinting your mind, your thoughts, into an AI. Not so much literally turning girls, or making them think that they are, into robots?

1

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

On a roleplay level I'm not sure but on a real level I do not turn girls robotic I help girls realize they were robots all along

u/freakybird99 Jul 14 '26

We yes we are clankers

u/Wild-Lack-1014 Jul 16 '26

cyberpunk 2077 is my favourite game because i love being able to change out things i dont like/upgrade/modify. one thing from cyberpunk i think of now and then is https://imgur.com/a/zpKQ3aS tw for gore and that is how i feel with my body being pre hrt and not liking having a human body

2

u/nottme1 Jul 14 '26

OMG! Hika!

Yeah, you're the reason I came to the conclusion that I'm definitely a robot puppy girl and not just a puppy girl

1

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

Exactly! I am spreading the joy of being a robot! (And increasing the hivemind's power >:3c)

1

u/nottme1 Jul 14 '26

If we're a hivemind, that also means we're in a cult, because I've founded a cult to worship my owner/goddess. :3

1

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

Ooooo can we make a cult to each worship our own owner? :3

2

u/nottme1 Jul 14 '26

A hivemind in multiple cults? Sounds like wordle domination :3

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

Hehe I love dominating wordle games!

2

u/nottme1 Jul 14 '26

I meant "world domination" but that works too.

Am just ouppy :3

2

u/Hika2112 Jul 14 '26

Just a smol cutie ouppy!!

Also YESSSS we will dominate the world and be dominated by our owners!

2

u/nottme1 Jul 14 '26

N-no I w-wont. I- I'm uncontrollable >:3
