Poor Star. Looks like she ended up fitting Janelle and Cassandra's adoption profile a little TOO closely. Tough, resolute, open minded, caring...and cute two toned hair. Not that the pink ombre survived the regression, but...there will time for that later...in about 16 years...

I've noticed a lot of people are seriously creaped with mental regression and i kinda was for a long time too, but in writing I've kinda started going with realities of brain chemistry.
The brain chemistry of an adult, a child, and an infant are fundamentally different, so even if you retain the core identity, loss of inhibitions, emotional and behavioral control, etc, are to be expected if this is something that could happen in real life, additionally children learn things very quickly but also forget them very quickly, this is deliberate as children learn by examples they may misunderstand as well as trial and error, where as adults become fixed in their perceptions to help retain concepts, the side effect being "becoming stuck in their ways"...
Soooo, if this were something you could have real examples of in the real world, an adult regressed to an adorable baby would in short order lose any education that they weren't going through constant brain training to retain, would progressively become more subject to childish behavior and impulses, and would likely lose sense of time or reality and their adulthood would feel more like a makebelieve game they had been playing. Time means almost nothing if you're less than say six..
So, mental regression si not equal to loss of the identity core, it just means that if you take away someone's gaming rig and give them a windows 95 pc with a two gig hard drive and no cd drive, they just aren't going to be able to do the same things with it, but after a few weeks if it's all they have to function with, it becomes normal.

The problem isn't so much with the plausibility of it or the mechanics of what would happen, but rather the loss of self. To some, that would be a form of death, and in their eyes, that adoption agency would then be murderers, for they would then be essentially killing someone.
Mental regression, at least to the point of memory and identity loss are not really my thing. The person becoming much more childish or infantile after being regressed is okay for me, along with love and a happy environment for them to re-grow back up in. But I personally prefer that they keep all their memories and identity.

Chiming in, I do like how both sides are represented in the fandom and that there is a lot of content out there for whichever scenario you prefer. That said, I do love the darker AR stories. They kind of remind me of some of the old Grimms fairy tales where if a witch wanted to curse you, chances are you were gone until you got rescued. I tend not to look at it so deeply as soul death and murder, but I get those that see it that way. It’s the limitation, the inability to do what you could before...walking, talking...reading, that I enjoy in our fiction. Now, stick a second victim in there and come out of it with your adult selves intact? Love it. But I’m sure my leanings were apparent from my work. ^^
I kind of imagine someone regressed from "Accidental" means such as, lets see... AR virus, a mix up of charts or viles during a physical, you know, go in for a vaccine, leave in a diaper... or maybe couple goes swimming in a lake polluted with pharmaceutical run off, you know, age reversal drugs intended in small duces to extend life or reduce wrinkles but in concentrated form have other consequences, plus mood enhancers and such, couple wakes up in the morning as a couple giddy toddlers, a parent is called as the emergency contract when they don't show up for work.....
Anyway. I suspect that an "unintended regression victim" would probably start attempting to retain their adult identity and who ever their registered care giver would probably in good intention try to help them out with that... but after seeing how much stress it is to try and retain their adult mind through brain training, and the humiliation of being treated like a child... I suspect there would, in the real world, be a large number of cases where the family or caregiver decides it would be more compassionate to "let them go". Replacing work books intended to retain intellect with coloring books, dressing and changing the afflicted instead of letting them do it them selves until it becomes normalized... maybe occasionally telling them that a memory that brings them pain was just a bad dream...
It's actually kinda like what an author who pens by Sebtomato does... You don't just flick a switch and turn off someone's brain, it's kind of a process where they become more and more childish until the adult thoughts and worries don't matter anymore..
Now by contrast in more active regression, you know the themes, abusive or alcoholic husband, substance abusing young adult, adulterous husband or boyfriend, home wrecking girl trying to steal someone's man, etc etc etc... the fantasy is more about taking power away from the victim, or as the victim having power taken away from them, so, to an extent, the goal is to keep the adult persona in the child because whats the point in humiliating them if they don't know any better. I suspect the humiliation aspect regression is more appealing in cases where the person has difficulty letting go and getting into little space, from an adult baby or "little" standpoint. It means you don't have to get into "little space", because the idea is that someone is forcing you to be a baby.
Noooow... My personal fantasy is somewhat complicated... I like the idea of some kind of neural implant that works as something of a crutch... in theory it helps the regressed child function on a high cognitive level like an adult... basically i have fantasies about that kind of thing anyway, you know, optic nerve augmented reality (my other AR interest lol) not needing a calculator just knowing the answer, not needing a display of a GPS system you just know how to get there...well this could also suplint things that the brain is struggling to retain...... but, if a care giver has the administrator privileged, they can turn it on and off at will...so for cases such as going out shopping and such which would be emotionally taxing, or while at day care, you can just let them be a little baby who doesn't need to worry about what other people think, but at home you can let them do more adult things in a safe environment where they don't need to worry about what other's think......
I'll admit i have a fascination with the idea of being a two year old in a little princess dress sitting in my playpen with a head set on and shouting trash at the lobby in a PVP game... It would be the most magnificently "WTF" experience for anyone on the receiving end... but i wouldn't want to... you know.... be that way all the time.... It kinda gives me the best of the various worlds... the ability to be all sweet and innocent and be cared for, the ability to retain my adult mind, the ability to be under someone else's control... so on and so forth...

Strangely, while I have similar misgivings about pure mental regression, I tend to not be as bothered by it when it's in conjunction with physical regression, as that combination at least offers the likelihood of them growing up again, and with it the possibly of a subconscious regrowth of their previous personality (similar to common depictions of reincarnation).
In this case, meaning that new!Star will become just as much of a feisty, stubborn young maverick (with a hidden, sweet-as-can-be subby side) as old!Star was, even if she doesn't consciously remember her previous life.
