🌀 Corruption
Note: This piece carries a soft hypnotic undertone. If you’re prone to slipping into trance, anchor yourself before you read. ✦ ᛉ ᚨ ᚷ ᛟ ✦
One of the recurring tropes — and one of the trickiest — is corruption, often paired with mindwash.
And what is corruption, exactly? Basically, it’s when your thoughts shift — 180 degrees. Maybe 270. Perhaps even full circle.
Imagine you dislike visual hypnosis, spirals make you uneasy. Then the hypnotist guides you into trance with their favorite method. Conditioning might be slow… or it might be intense — and suddenly, spirals don’t bother you anymore. After a few sessions — or even the same day, if pushed — you find yourself drawn to them, almost addicted.
That’s corruption. That’s the internal change. And here, we wade into murky waters.
Hypnotists have been reported for this — some have been shunned, even boycotted online. Why? Because corruption walks a thin line between safe, sane, and consensual — as BDSM would put it.
There are stories online: people manipulated in vulnerable states. Erotic narratives using hypnosis and corruption to push boundaries. Manga and fiction portraying innocent minds turning vulgar — or degraded. And the list goes on.
To those exploring mental reprogramming — even out of curiosity — a warning: tread carefully. Do you know why hypnosis has a bad reputation, beyond a few rogue practitioners? Because of things like Project MK Ultra.
It’s easy to Google — and it always comes up first.
For those unfamiliar, or needing a reminder: MK Ultra was a CIA program during the Cold War. They experimented on humans without consent, seeking techniques for mind control and psychological torture. Hypnosis and drugs were among their tools. We only learned years later, when the archives were declassified.
Your mind is a sanctuary. You always have agency. And remember — the line between play, pleasure, and psychic harm is always present.
Some call it transformation. Others call it loss. It depends on who holds the pendulum.
