me when tumblr recommends me someone defending dr3 in the tags and i read through the entire thing and get mad bc they don't understand what brainwashing really is.

#'brainwashing has been a staple of the series for a long time' they say (mostly talking about mind control)#mind control in the fictional sense not the real world sense btw #magical/technological means of instantly controlling ones thoughts #the video in dr0? yeah. brainwashing. they were watching it ON FUCKING LOOP over and over to the point of desensitizing themselves #they were already vulnerable to start with as well. it was fucking conditioning them. not controlling them directly – brainwashing them #the monokuma kids? DIRECT MIND CONTROL #THEY ARE WEARING FUCKING HELMETS ON THEIR HEADS AND HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEMSELVES OR THEIR AUTONOMY #THAT IS NOT BRAINWASHING!! THAT IS FUCKING!! PUPPETEERING THEM #they brought up smthn in the togami book. never read that but apparently there's a book that spreads despair disease #(info gotten from unreliable source in the book)#tbh it's probably propaganda to help despair spread better #it doesn't have to be fucking literal #also despair disease... if it is anything like dr2... IS NOT BRAINWASHING #IT JUST FUCKIN TAKES OVER THEIR BODY/OVERRIDES THEIR PERSONALITY AUTOMATICALLY #IT'S A MIND ALTERING ILLNESS???#NOT!! BRAINWASHING!!#and then of course saying brainwashing in dr3 is the natural conclusion and that it doesn't retcon anything #AND I AGREE BRAINWASHING IS THE NATURAL CONCLUSION. BUT DR3 DIDN'T DO THAT #it just fucking... made them flip a switch out of nowhere?#MIKAN SAID SHE BECAME THE WAY SHE DID DUE TO HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS #NOT BC SHE WATCHED SILLY DESPAIR VIDEO #to use magic subliminal messaging to INSTANTLY change the way someone thinks isn't brainwashing in your typical sense. that's mind control #let's define brainwashing shall we?#a method for systematically changing attitudes or altering beliefs #originated in totalitarian countries #especially through the use of torture— drugs— or psychological-stress techniques #or perhaps this one:#any method of controlled systematic indoctrination especially one based on repetition and confusion #REPEATED TORTURE. REPEATED WATCHING OF THINGS #**REPETITION IS KEY**
