ARE YOU JUST A DATABASE WAITING TO BE REMIXED AND RE-ARRANGED? 🔄

It reminds me a little bit of Database Animals, Azuma, about the otaku and the otaku's obsession with anime and manga. I really see, let me know if you agree or not, but this sort of breakdown of us as people into this database of karimo, mo elements, like the attributes, the elements that make us up. And how do these elements get mixed, remixed, arranged and rearranged together and then spun out in different contexts? The idea is that in this fan world, there is no original, there are no copies, the parodies are just as important as the original character. But these elements are constructed and reconstructed and rearranged in lots of different ways. And that's maybe how we should think about ourselves in the digital environment. Is that a way forward for us to think about the self?

Yeah, I think that's a really interesting reference. I think it kind of intersects with this idea of fandoms and different characters that allow themselves to be kind of remixed and reinterpreted.
