Not So Pretty Patterns
This is the story a man named Michael, or Neural Nets, or Petruccio, EvilPsychiatrist, BrainlessBecki, MistyGwen, MindFogger, Decognition and Bimbo Virus.
A Decade of Lies and Manipulation
I don’t want to Trigger the trauma of his other victims by reciting stuff already on the web (Just search it up). What I want to do is share my chapter. What I saw, what I heard, and you may just have to take my word on it.
Originally, I was a fan, I wanted to support him, I did. Hell, I wanted to be in his files, and eventually, I was, but after knowing him for some time on TumbLr, and other places, namely joining his Discord, I began to hear stories. People came to me, talking about abuse, and for a while, I played along, quite a while, and suddenly, the Real person behind the facade began to emerge.
(I should mention here, I am empath, I pick up on people who lie, and this also means people can find me to be someone who is easy to open up to)
It started, the moment I joined the server. I met with https://huntressm.tumblr.com in Voice Chat, had a great time and trance with her, and then conversation somehow shifted to consent, where NN was mentioned. She imparted wisdom upon me, and I listened mostly.
I took Huntress’s advice as something of great value, and her and I would continue to communicate about it at a later date.
I would soon learn NN had damning evidence against him, but for the time, I played along.
Then, was about the time he decided to me a 5 dollar Whore in the server, for speaking too much, and I was silenced. I would then be put under Bliss’s care, for what she called “One word training”.
Things got more cult-like…
Soon, members, myself included were involved in the gaslighting of other members, it was awful, and when any questioned it, they were peer pressured into following along like I was. People would be encouraged to confess things they experienced under hypnosis, encouraged to trance on the daily, and that is what ultimately led to Feather, the infamous file Neural promoted which had suggestions in it to “Forget all other people” and was the subject of trauma for some. You may have even read, dear reader, the story of Secret Subject, and her reaction to the file was not great.
The Great Cult Clash of Hypno-kink
SS, bless her, just wanted NN to put consent warnings in the descriptions of his files. He did, but only after covering his ass which he had Mind Melters (his high ranking cultists) help out with, to strip himself of any responsibility for his actions. It IS a fact that when SS tried to speak out, they did everything in his power to make her look GUILTY. Not once showing a shred of care about consent, till it took to Tumblr, and it became hard to suppress.
Then I got kicked
Long story short, he manipulated a good friend, many actually, and with the help of Guzzles, aka Bliss, aka Amelia, that friend was led into a whirlwind of mental health issues. We have since rekindled and apologized to eachother.
The Bitch is Back aka Deneuralization
After some time had passed, I contacted NN for re-entry. Veronica Mars was back on the case, and I immediately set out a plan to play honey trap, and squeeze this lemon of anything I could. I played along again, each time noticing no matter how high I got promoted, there was always this inner circle, an untouchable few, that did stuff in secret, so nothing bad ever got out. I also worked to get close to who I could, felt people needed protecting, to know the truth.
The Girl who Kicked the Hornets Nets and the VFD
Soon I was on his good side enough to become a Mind Melter, this meant, I was a mod, and as soon as I became one, I was aware this was much, much bigger than I had ever imagined. He pulled all strings, everything to ensure the place ran like clockwork. Bliss became my boss, but we rarely spoke except for events like Friday Deep Drop.
In drop, it was kinda hot, I’ll be honest, but I always had this worry, like it was a way of conditioning others to follow him, say the mantras like the girls in the files. On the surface it was inclusive, but deep down more or less a way to rope more people in. He has since deleted all evidence of the promotions, but they remain, as reblogs.
Then I find out, I’m not the only one looking into all this. That SS and hero of the decade Hoosen, and many others, were also looking into it. We worked together, I method acted, kept digging, and kept finding more evidence.
Exes, old friends, you name it, so many have interacted with him, and then bounced because of how manipulative he is. Speaking of bouncing, I find it fitting to note I got accidentally triggered by one of the suggestions from the file Bounce, while in the shower. Thankfully, I was able to gain a grasp on reality, some were not so lucky.
I continued to poke and prod, finding out about more and more stories, just like mine.
Hoosen’s Letter
Then came the first truth bomb. Hoosen sacrificed himself in the line of duty, everything he worked to build, soon exposing NN and his past.
This open letter (meta I know, so self-aware)
That leads us to here, and this very moment, where I write to you dear hypno community to say your stories are valid, and if he harmed you, and you are comfortable, speak up. You are not alone. Just today I finally got brave and called him out on his tricks. We are wise to them all, name changes, identity shifts, a true Count Olaf.
Why He didn’t have the nerve to do it himself, I will never know, but I was in fact kicked again, like all before me, for just bringing some transparency.
I ask you all, please, let him manipulate no longer. See it in your heads that what he did was wrong, and he is trying to this to evade punishment. See it in your minds to come to your senses like I have, and others before me.
We want to say he could change, but after saying he was not coming back and giving control of the place to Aurora, ego pulled him back.
Bliss aka Amelia, even knows he is an abuser, yet lets him do it anyway, wanting to be fucked up. Promoting it like others should do that too, and blurring fantasy and reality along the way.
The Pink Room
This was Amelia’s personal retreat, a public, but inaccessible audio channel originally just for her, a person brainwash room. When I asked what it was and if I could join, she shut me down fast. She knew more than she was letting on, and I knew it too. I’d see others join too, others closer to Amelia, people she had sometimes met IRL, I am to learn. We now have every reason to believe she was deliberate about all this. She wanted us to know she was getting fucked up. And we knew all right because she was so open about it.
As a file girl
At first, it was liberating, like being a Playboy Bunny but ultimately, that wore off and it was clear he was just using us, for our voices, cause he disliked his own. At first, it was like “yeah cool, I get to work with people I have wanted”, but the cold reality is I recorded alone, having to press for tips by sharing what I recorded, till what was recorded was sufficient. Even then, it was clear who were the faves. It was clear he wanted to draw the most attention to the higher circle in his establishment, as I am only in a fraction of the file, despite recording the whole script. All this effort, for only a few seconds, here and there. And pretend praise when it was shared with those involved. He made it clear. He cared more about those who were established in mind-kink.
The illusion of Free Will
Ultimately, He’d like you to believe you have a choice, that you can quit any time, yet he also very happily admits his files are designed to addict people. Don’t believe me? Healsluts are what was it now? How about if I say Tick Tock? 1 2 3 4?
These earworms, combined with advanced NLP and other tactics, are his main weapon. Why his server went to 4K, before declining, as people worked out what was really going on.
You never have a choice, he makes you think you do, that it is a game, but
THIS IS NOT A GAME ANYMORE…THIS IS REAL. Real minds have suffered real life consequences, and he will say it’s a conspiracy, anything to make him not liable for the damage he has done.
I love this kink, I really do, but I saw him lie and manipulate long enough, and it’s time it was out on the open.
He’s banned from conventions and forums on hypnosis for his behavior. He’s even broken laws just to make money off stuff that isn’t his.
He is danger to all who love hypnosis, and the more people who know, the better. He has no intent on helping people with mental health issues. Only in being an earworm…that’s the bimbo virus summed up, and this entire year in a nutshell.
I still keep seeing ‘bimbo virus’ audios being spread around. Please, if you’re into hypno be more cautious about what you’re listening to and follow @safehypnosis. If you’re a hypno blog you should be relogging this, it’s still relevant.
Stay safe out there bimbos 🩷
