>>2324962says, Rebuild is being very unserious in how it treats it's lore and universe. Rei is now a legit clone of Yui too, it's gone "screw you" to the science and logic.
Besides, Rei Q hardly moves and thinks anyway.
What matters is that as a character, there is no continuity between them. If their souls aren't the same either, then they aren't the same, no more than identical twins, nature's "clones".
Yes, conflating the two is insulting.

I do recommend sending a letter if it worries you, but you just know he's going to hang it up somewhere as a goddamned trophy. I figure that the destruction of Rei is what he wants, so why feed him?
