An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

All the goodness of Mind Rape... with the bitter aftertaste! When somebody is Brainwashed and gets better, but somehow part of the programming sticks and it shows by the character acquiring new personality traits, tics and/or quirks. For example, Alice is a mind controller who casts a spell on Bob to make him fall in love with her. Bob somehow breaks the spell, but whenever he looks at Alice now, he blushes and can't quite explain why. Maybe he's falling in love for real, but who knows for sure. Also comes in other flavors: Examples of Brainwash Residue include:

  • All the goodness of Mind Rape... with the bitter aftertaste! When somebody is Brainwashed and gets better, but somehow part of the programming sticks and it shows by the character acquiring new personality traits, tics and/or quirks. For example, Alice is a mind controller who casts a spell on Bob to make him fall in love with her. Bob somehow breaks the spell, but whenever he looks at Alice now, he blushes and can't quite explain why. Maybe he's falling in love for real, but who knows for sure. This can be used as a Plot Device to show that the character hasn't quite fully-recovered from his brainwashing. Maybe he has, but the idea of being somebody Not Himself makes him change... probably for the better. Can become a Family-Unfriendly Aesop when brainwashing is the only way for a character to change. Also comes in other flavors: * Laser-Guided Amnesia-flavor: Either by magic or any other mind-altering means (Time Travel, Reset Button, etc.). Alice makes Bob forget that he was ever in love with her, but somehow Bob still retains faint, lingering sentiments for her. * Shapeshifting-flavor: Whether involuntary or self-induced: Bob gets transformed into a frog. After being brought back to normal, he retains his newly-acquired taste for bugs. Usually used as a gag. Compare and contrast with More Than Mind Control, where the character more or less knows that he is/was being manipulated, but goes along anyway. See Cartesian Karma for when the residue may or may not have resided, but the consequences of their brain-washed actions are still quite valid. Examples of Brainwash Residue include:
