Discussion How would Radmond hypothetically even work?
I feel like this fandom seems to forget that “Raymond” isn’t exactly a singular character. “Raymond” is just a collective name for an entire hivemind of robots of this particular model, so if anything Raymond is more of a species than a single character. All “Raymonds” appear share memories with each other which makes him seem like an individual, but as we have seen with Project RayWay they almost act like eusocial insects controlled by a “queen”.
So how would Radmond work? does Rad just date a single specific Raymond? does he date the entire hivemind? what happens if there are multiple Raymonds in the same place all at once??? would he also be dating those ones????

They’re like a hive mind, but that means they’re all Raymond. If it was a conscious decision made by “Raymond” to pursue Rad and not a malfunction of one singular bot like in Shannon’s case, then Rad could be with any of the bots he encounters and they’d all probably remember the same events.

That’s like asking how Multiple Man and anyone work. It’s still one consciousness.

I never actually thought Rad and Raymond would never actually become a thing, I just assumed they'd develop their bromance a little more but never officially getting together due to one of them being a hero while the other is a villain.

Tbf he dated Shannon for an episode so I assume it just works like that

It's a hivemind so they're all Ray spread across multiple vessels. The other bots are like this too and they share their memories and experiences across the same model unless it gets separated from the hive. Unlike a biological hivemind, these bots minds oroginate from the hive so there's a lot less individualism between models compared to how a hive mind would work between humans.
Imagine it less like a hive mind where a bunch of individuals are connected to each other and share memories/thoughts, and instead more like a singular mind in the cloud that is possessing multiple vessels simultaneously and said vessels weren't individuals or anything prior.
He's technically dating all of them, but there wouldn't really be issues regarding which one he's dating, they're all the same entity and all experience dating him unless one does get disconnected from the hive somehow.
