If an alternate version of me was… forced.. to identify as character, does that still make present me ‘kin of that character?
I would say if you still do ID as that character, then yes. If you don’t still ID as them, then no, probably not.
it certainly affect my identity, at least. A good number of traits from then have carried over into this life and have been present for years even before my awakening as them. like I said in my tags, I have identified as them for close to two years now, I was just suddenly curious about the semantics of it all.
My rule of thumb is just that if you’re not sure, check the definition. The why’s and how’s don’t matter as much as actually following the definition, and it looks like you do so you’re good.
But semantics are still fun sometimes. 😮
