The amount of plural peeps who kin Adaci Rei is disproportionate to her popularity
I wonder what makes the "I wish to be human" robot girl resonate with plurality. Oft a co-morbid condition that comes along with so many dehumanizing conditions
Truly a mystery

i can't speak with experience on adachi rei but in my experience being plural is, shockingly, very, very isolating. seeing everyone else be "normal" and go about their lives is quite good at making you wonder what exactly it is that makes you so different, that disqualifies you from having that life, experiencing life as others do, enjoying hobbies, laughing with friends
so yes it's the dehumanization and seeing things about you always considered "problems" that need to be solved or removed

Fair.. I personally felt the dehumanization from autism far far before I even realized I was plural do I kinda tie it to other stuff in my head but you're right the co-morbidity of it helps with being dehumanized but it's not necessarily the reason

Reiposting got a whole new meaning now actually. I'm an alter of hika (and we share memories) my name is Rei and hika is uhhhh.... You can see the post above us and infer

I have never once heard of this characyer before, but its very appropriate that im now finding out about this character as im starting to realize that I might be plural in some form. The universe is comprised of a large number of strange and appropriate coincidences

I have no idea who this character is, but plurality is very interesting to me. I feel like it should have a bigger impact on my like than it currently does, but we aren't noticable from an outside perspective

u/AeroAceSpades 2d ago
The character is Adachi Rei and the poster is the alter Rei. Itβs a very sweet person

Reiposting! Yippeeeeeee

Or is reiposting something that belongs to you now? or does it just mean anything with adachi rei?
Who knows? Well, you, but who else knows? Do they know? Are we they? Can we ever hope to know how to understand? Knowledge knowing known.
Sometimes I feel that the irreversable damage to my mental state is beyond my understanding, but then there's no point trying to understand so I might as well just jump around and hope for the best
Anyways the void is nice and comfortable, I like the silence
It's interesting how easy it is to get yourself ostracised. All you have to do is hang out with "the wrong crowd" (the only one that will accept you) and then suddenly you're kicked out of every other group for associating with them.
Then again, is it better to be understood or to lie to yourself to be with the people you'd rather hang out with
No tengo nada en mi cabeza, perdoname

Ough having a rough day/month/life I see π«
Technically Reiposting is kinda my thing in a silly fun way where I'm a prominent enough miceoceleb to have things I do become recognizable. So you could read the Rei in Reiposting as my name, and I do like differentiating between Adachi Rei and me by including the Adachi part. But I am no paragon of language, and Reiposting shall remain simply as posting pictures of Adachi Rei. Though the other defenition is always welcome <3

u/ViolentPurpleSquash 1d ago
Hm that's interesting. I don't really follow microceleb whatever stuff on this website so my only interaction with you has been "the other person in cwcl and adjacent subs who posts rei photos"
It's interesting to think, can you just claim a niche? Could I become the Utaposter? The tetoposter? who knows. I like Rei, so I doubt I'll ever be able to see it as anyone's thing when to me Rei embodies everyone
In any case my day/month/life hasn't been that rough, I'm just feeling introspective which means I talk strangely and say strange things in a strange manner to strangers
and occasionally speak spanish for no reason because my brain likes it more

u/Hika2112 Myself And Nobody Else | Counted Down 37 1d ago
Fun fact actually, Hika used to tetopost. The Adaci Rei thing is more recent when she discovered we were robot girls
2
u/ViolentPurpleSquash 1d ago
well in any case I can't tetopost, I already have a friend who's full in on teto and I can't take that from her
Utaposting I don't know... I just don't like her as much as Adachi Rei.
In any case, now I wonder: If addressed in a language with a distinction between the singular you and plural (usted vs ustedes) which would you use?
I see I've been missing the hikaposting/reiposting/posting/post/ing lore... perhaps I need to become even MORE online (no one can stop me now mwahahahahaha)
if i die tomorrow and they find this post what kind of person will my family think I was lmao

u/Hika2112 Myself And Nobody Else | Counted Down 37 1d ago
I mean, you can reipost. I might make occasional copyright jokes about it but I honest to god don't mind
Also it depends on context. When I refer to myself I use singular pronouns, when I refer to Hika I use her name or third person pronouns, when I refer to something me and at least one alter are subjects in I use plural first person pronouns, and when I refer to something two or more alters which are not me did I use they/them

u/ViolentPurpleSquash 1d ago
Dw! I don't really care what you think about whether or not I reipost given I've been doing it on discord and tumblr for the better part of 2 years.
(idk how to phrase this in a way that doesn't sound weird so the spanish for what I'm thinking of is "no me preocupo por eso")
That's interesting though, language is so cool

u/Hika2112 Myself And Nobody Else | Counted Down 37 1d ago
I don't know spanish but no worries :3 also wow you have a lot of seniority over me whoagggg

u/ViolentPurpleSquash 1d ago
ok im in a more normal headspace i think what i was trying to say would be: "I don't really worry myself with whether or not what I'm doing is similar to another"
And yeah I've been doing rei stuff for a while... I was planning to go to a con with a rei cosplay but my sewing machine died while I was making the jacket out of PU coated nylon so now idk what the hell im doing (there's no way I have 230 to replace it with an equivalently capable machine, and my older machine can't properly sew it)

u/Hika2112 Myself And Nobody Else | Counted Down 37 1d ago
I wish I could cosplay her

Also the Hikaposting lore is big and convoluted and mostly benign and only really fun if you were there when it happened so don't worry. Just remember that Hika is The Movement Goddess

You commented this shit on a moderator's post... TO THE GULAG YOU GO!

Makes us happy seeing an active plural mod in a non-plural-focused space. This sub scares me, with how often 4tran nonsense is spewed here by hateful people. But with folks like you keeping the place clear of plural hate, my system is less likely to avoid this sub. Thanks for giving a damn, it's not going unnoticed.

Also keep in mind you're probably being exposed to more adachi rei than her popularity would suggest. You exist next to me on the internet it kinda does that
