This Just In: "Brainwashing" Still Not a Medical Term
Leverage fandom, hypnosis is not brain rape. Neither is suggestion. Granted, neuro-linguistic programming doesn't really seem like a nice thing to try out on your friends, but it's still not brain rape. Apparently, it's planting a suggestion in such a way as to make someone think it was their own idea. Not that big a deal when the suggestion is "pour me tea," and surely it wouldn't work if the suggestion was "jump off a cliff or do something else harmful."
Also, any woman with a good enough sense of self-preservation not to date a self-destructive man should be lauded, not criticized for "not accepting him as he is."
