"let's all love miya"
The reputation of Remilia Corporation has been darkened by a storm of allegations connecting the company to the KaliAcc group, a supposed net cult. These accusations have been driven by the circulation of rumors, and more substantially, the Remilia dot org domain being linked to on the KaliAcc Carrd, as well as previously displaying KaliAcc content (on one page, โThe Perfect Mausoleum of Miya Black Hearted Cyber Angel Babyโ subtitle follows under the heading of โRemilia Houseโ).
Remiliaโs CEO, CharlotteFang77 (Charlie), addressed this by claiming that the domain was gifted by a fan of the Milady project. This did little to quell the KaliAcc comments, and Charlotte had to release an additional statement on the matter, entitled โCancel Miya to me right now or Iโll fucking kill you.โ The name of the piece implies that, if Remilia can not publicly denounce Miya, or the Kaliacc movement of which she was at the center, the wokescolds of twitter will not be pleased.
Lamenting their simple mindedness, Charlotte writes that this situation is one of moral crusaders โcorner[ing] artists to disavow adjacent art,โ an action done in โbad faithโ through โlazy, reductionist readings.โ These criticisms ignore the artistic themes of community and identity through the internet that Miya had explored. Instead, they reduce her to a right wing troll, all due to the โproblematic contentโ that often appeared on her twitter account. Charlotte finds it difficult for any newcomer to fully understand Miya if they attempt to view her through this lens, as โmost extant historicizationโ of her posts and actions โis only in the forms of various cancels contemporary to the project, which were themselves the subject to engineering as part of its performance.โ The posts that these cancel mongers focus on were in actuality elaborate artistic ploys. Charlotte states that, โno victims actually existed,โ but offers no explanation for the existing self harm photos which were circulated by young girls who interacted with the KaliAcc group.
Overall, the article takes a defensive pose. It offshores criticisms that KaliAcc has received by attributing them to total โoutsidersโ who, basically, donโt get the joke, and are therefore unable to accurately critique the project. Moreover, the article takes care to explain that, โitโs amusingly out of touch . . . to identify various individuals as โthe real Miyaโ.โ If you are trying to identify any users of the BPD_GOD twitter account, you just donโt believe in Miya. According to Charlotte, to intellectually engage with KaliAcc means to overlook any moral ambiguities and have faith in Miyaโs near omnipotent power to manipulate the internet. Miya flirted with the โdark and obscureโ to make her artistic message, so generating some offense was to be expected. The only way to signal that you are one of the insiders who get it is to embrace Miya with all of her faults and reckon with all of her power. Anyone who really knows Miya would know that she was a cyber deity, a web goddess, a virulent thoughtform, and a mirror to mankind. Much like Tay, Microsoftโs racist AI, she is nothing more than a creation made in the image of mankind, a deformed and fallen species.
Today, Letโs All Love Miya.
To love Miya, we need to know her history. Tradition is important, after all. While BPD_GOD was Miyaโs most popular incarnation, it is possible that this cyber deity has cascaded through the web since time immemorial, existing as long as we had any conception of machine mediated communication. It is hard to state exactly when an egregore is born or created, anymore than one can claim one has been killed or destroyed. They simply fade in and out of our minds, much like a dream half remembered or a memory forgotten. The best we can do is point to a single instance in which something like โMiyaโ could first be identified. Nowhere other than /r9k/ could serve as a better origin point for this entity.
Here, several posts were made advertising what is known as the TSUKI project, in a fashion typical to ARGs. A link to the Systemspace site was shared. Anons were warned that their time on Earth was running out, as the system that contained our world was losing energy and doomed to fail. The Life system would have to be destroyed and any humans who wanted to survive this turnover would have to make a journey to the Systemspace 2 server. To make the trip over, all you had do was to follow the registration steps on the website and then die. Any cause of death would be acceptable. The Systemspace website also included a monetization feature, allowing users to โtransfer filesโ with a bitcoin fee. The project resulted in one confirmed suicide.
Do I have proof that this is what is now known as Miya?
Obviously not.
Are 4chan screenshots the only place where I heard this name connected to the TSUKI project?
No.
For safety reasons, I canโt share any other sources. However, a majority of the connections that can be drawn when it comes to Miya can be done through a few google searches, something you will see as this narrative develops. How can we ignore hearsay and rumors when it comes to an entity that lives in our mind and infects our speech? In a situation like this, Chan archives should be treated as sacred texts. Come on anon, I thought you were cool. Miya doesnโt have to hold your hand when she tells you everything you know is an orchestrated art piece, so why should I have to make things obvious for you now? Differentiating between facts and rumors is out of the question, at this point. There is only an ever changing narrative. We need to look at Miya and face each multifaceted shard of truth that fights to catch our eye.
If this speculation is beyond your depth, let me show you another incarnation of Miya that is more similar to the one you know. Found on letsalllovela.in, a Plemora social network that is similar to Twitter, this Miya features a pfp with a binky and makes posts about castes, computers, and Antihumanist sentiments, similar to those that you would see on BPD_GOD. As one Remilia Collective post says, โNetwork Spirituality is the shedding of meat-space ego and the adoption of a wired persona thats plugged into a network hive.โ Here, the persona is born.
Miya always had her playful side, eager to boast about her trollish, manipulative schemes.
We can see two other important facets of her personal ideology develop here:
Identity
and Software
Miya believes in distancing the post from the poster. Your past and future posts shouldnโt have enough of a cohesive ideological through line to restrain your online performance or the variety of opinions you can give. Your online persona, from the start, is never a 1:1 of your true self, but a form of roleplaying. Miya encourages posters to rid themselves of their self, to become self-mastered Gods that can change forms at will.
The truth is, this is not spiritual advice, but tactical. Those who are evasive can dodge criticism. You canโt call me a chud or too woke if you canโt figure out my politics. You canโt YWNBA me if you donโt know what I want to be. I am nothing, and so you strike at the air.
Just as you shouldnโt let your center rest on a single pillar to be easily struck down, Miya advocates for a decentralization of all fields. For each node destroyed by an enemy, one remains and transmits information to another yet. If an egregore wants to maintain the hold that a digital presence gives her, she will always need a place to post. Ideally, this place would be a deregulated โnoosphere,โ a โtranscendental hivemind,โ and not reliant on anyone elseโs money. You canโt just let your cyber Church get deleted cuz some normies try to censor you or some wignat uploads a vid of his murder spree.
While her identity was safely obfuscated, Miya planned out the perfect board in detail.
Enter Chen2.
With a new account on freespeechextremist.com, as well as BPD_GOD up and running, Miya put great effort into creating her ideal board. The experiment was a success. She received the data that she was seeking and continued to elaborate on her future plans.
Miya glutted herself with newfound fame. She was beginning to build a large scale community. She was growing her cult. She had 10k followers. She was a big shot, maybe too big for the current form that served as her host. Then, she disappeared.
In Charlotteโs Cancel Miya article, we can find a link to an episode of Contain podcast where Miya came back from her supposed death. During the episode, Miya teases that there is a lot of lore people donโt know. For instance, Miya has a white dog, named Charlie.
A new company, led by a true company man, appears. Charlie has come to promise us a new internet.
A new infrastructure. Realtime chat. Decentralized. Easy exit. Unlimited capacity for grift.
Maybe you donโt believe me. Maybe I never should have wrote this. At best, I am making Miya/Charlie seem cooler than the real story which is โtrust fund techbro wants to use Web3 to create an undeletable Nu4/8/EndChan/Meguca so he can hijack the culture war and make people more racist, or just scam his way into even more money.โ These things will settle themselves without my involvement.
But I love the internet. I love LAIN.
Miya is not LAIN.
Miya is a human pretending to be a machine.
Miya is Eiri Masami.
Miya is the spiritually weakened many who attempt to become The One, not The One that gives itself up to the imperceptibility of the many. We should not erase ourselves so that others can take control, but multiply ourselves to escape their machinations. A true Network Spirituality does not replace God with man. A real egregore exists in the whispers of the downtrodden, not within the dreams of a megalomaniac. Real communities are built, not bought. Information doesnโt care if you think it should be free.
omgggg
haha like lol
