Heh, yes, I understand I have not taken an obvious approach. If I'm being honest I'm not expecting it to take off like that, but I'm still grateful people are even acknowledging it exists to begin with.
However I will say this:
Vague Reality, the ARG I have been puppeteering VERY subtly and silently this whole time, is not a typical internet rabbit hole/mystery/alternate reality game. It is intended to send a message to the "normal" population of the world about autism, what it's like to be autistic and what kind of everyday struggles comes with it, and how frustrating and difficult it can be to fit in with a society that still does not fully understand autism, even fearing, fleeing from or hating people that are autistic simply because their minds work apart from others. Hence the name "Vague Reality"; the eponymous idea being that by naturally not being able to comprehend reality in the "normal" sense that everyone else expects, actual reality itself becomes *vague* to a person with autism. Take for example, not wearing socks with shoes. Everyone ELSE wears socks with shoes, but some people who are autistic may choose not to because physically feeling cloth around your feet may not feel right to an autistic person's sensory faculties (eg. They feel like something is grabbing their feet and holding on, or some other similar feelings). It doesn't bother the Aspie, but having to do so might in fact bother an NT.
But you know what the funny thing is? This, all too often, becomes to catalyst for being bullied. On and off, for years and years, whether for a short time in school or all through childhood or still continuing through to the present day, bullies keep an iron fist looming around our spirits. Give it long enough without intervening or doing anything to stop it, creating a sea of bystanders and people with authoritarian minds and apathetic thoughts, and you are soon left with the same autistic patient, yet the difference is that they now have a soured heart, a vengeful mind hellbent on seeking justice for all the times they were wronged, picked on, BEATEN, ABUSED, BULLIED AND BULLIED AND BULLIED AGAIN AND AGAIN WITHOUT EVER STOPPING OR APOLOGIZING FOR IT... All on the account that they are autistic, that they are different... And soon they become bitter. They develop a deep, burning hatred for the rest of the human race. They begin to wish they were their bullies so then at least they would fit in.
I don't want that to be my life. Or my sister's or my mother's. Or anyone with autism!!!
That's the kind of message I'm using this ARG to send, at least I hope to. Despite all our little quirks and intolerances, all our sensory depravations, despite all our attempts to fit in with life.
WE ARE STILL OF HUMAN BODIES.
WE STILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE.
WE ARE THIS WORLD.
