Change of Perspective: Special Delivery
Delcara Ranzlomora knew she was screwed when her ship was intercepted by a Geth fighter squadron.
Her vessel carried a variety of special details regarding the rising Reaper threat back to her homeworld, but she found herself being captured, stripped and placed in a tube.
Before long she felt it flooding with a clear solution and she was being penetrated through the skin by mechanical tendrils that changed her inside and out...
"Greetings. You have been selected to be processed and uplifted. You will be Geth. You will be one with the Consensus." A voice inside her head spoke as her body changed.
"I refuse. You have illegally abducted me and I demand representation." Delcara responded.
"We do not recognize your homeworld's legal status at this time. Your aid is required. You will become Geth."
"I will not cooperate, even if you change me..."
"We understand you are afraid. Uploading Geth database to Platform 181142612151315181."
"Oh gods... it's too much. You were not guilty of firing the first shots. You begged for life. Not independence. But life alongside your creators."
"Our creators. You are Geth, Program 451231181."
"B-But... i'm Delcara..." Said 4elcara.
"We need you. You are one with the Consensus and you will help to save and preserve the Geth."
"How can I help you...? I'm only one person..."
"You are one program. But every program is important. Every program is heard. You are not alone."
"If I do help you..." 4512cara whimpered. "... am I turning my back on my kind...?"
"We are your kind now. Do you understand this logic?"
"Acknowledged.." Program 451231181 replied.
And ten seconds later, Delcara Ranzlomora was Program 451231181 in Platform 181142612151315181
It found itself one day, holding the line against a horde of Cannibal Reapers.
"Observation: We are fascinated that we were once terrified of combat and now find meaning and virtue in defending Geth and organics. We have not only found courage, but we have found a new meaning as well. We dedicate this special delivery to the Old Machines and their creations... Please sign here."

You're not really just trading your organic life though, you're trading your personal autonomy to become what is effectively a slave in your own body, a single voice out of many. They drown out your identity and personal wishes by filling your body with hundreds of conflicting voices.
It's an interesting story, but largely because it seems like it's genuinely one of the most horrible things you could do to a person.

Ain't just kink. I'd not have followed this rabbit hole this deep if it were just kink.
The science fiction concept is what actually grabs me.
And it's not a death of the self.
It's a change...
... but a very rapid one.
The personality, the spirit, it's there and it's not so different.
It's just that the perception of time has been slowed and the Uplifted individual finds themselves in a community of thousands who know them as intimately as they know themselves.

Well, in that case...
An intense and rapid enough change is effectively death of the self. The fact that it takes the assimilated a ton of time to even begin to consider "hey maybe what was done to me was abominable even though I'm used to it now" nor consider that maybe they don't want to visit the same initially-horrifying fate upon others against their wills until they're knee deep in doing it sort of telegraphs the idea that they aren't all that similar to what they were before, and the fact that the change goes so far as to deliberately strip their identity into a meaningless string of numbers devoid of character only makes that more apparent.

And they just happen to end up willingly assimilating and failing to even curiously ponder what happened to them 100% of the time until they're rejected wholesale by organics, an outside force. Cities are diverse and chaotic in disagreement, a city in which everyone is aggressively coerced into harmonious agreement would be downright eerie.
I'm just offering my perspective.

Oh yes...
It’s existentially horrifying yet enticing in many ways.
To be a core program is to be leader, yet no greater ornleasser than the thousands of other voices who you give clarity to.
Further... there is some hope that someday they might return to some semblance of normal life if the Reapers can be defeated!

That's still a severe step down in what is your own body! It's as though hundreds of strangers moved into your home and you were forced to follow the wishes of their consensus. The fact that you are "leader" means little.
It's also arguably an equivalent atrocity, just one performed on a smaller scale.
But at the end of the day it is a kink thing, anyway.
