Analysis of a Predatory File - Sigil - Hypdom

Welcome! I'm going to be putting together a series of posts detailing predatory files--what makes them predatory, and what to watch for. It's my hope that this will spread awareness of the sorts of suggestions that are red flags from the get go as well as guiding people away from dangerous people in the community.

For this first installment, I'll be talking about hypdom's "intro" file Sigil. This isn't the worst of his files by a long shot (we'll get to those...), but it still exhibits some red flags, and it's important to look at the beginning to understand how files build on each other and how seemingly innocuous suggestions can build into much more sinister ones.

If you're unfamiliar with hypdom, he's a predatory hypnotist who's been around for a long, long time in the hypno community largely keeping quiet and doing his best to appear safe. I've personally worked with some of his victims, though, and can say he's absolutely not someone you want to be involved with. He ignores boundaries, does not seek consent, negotiates in trance, breaks down safeties, victim blames, instills fear and anxiety to protect himself and his suggestions, and has had significantly negative impacts on the lives of people he's played with.

(And, honestly, his files aren't even particularly good! If you're going to get addicted to something, there's better out there. There's a reason Sigil has a "this is the best file you've ever watched" suggestion in it! Good files stand on their own.)

Unfortunately in cases like this it's frequently one person's word against another's, so I hope by discussing his files it'll be clear he's someone to avoid.

Let's get to it...

Red Flags

Always Listen to the End

"And you're always going to listen from the beginning to the end of any of my files."

This is excessively bad. It's just one line, and it might be easy to miss or not think anything of, but this is a keystone of the foundation. It's attempting to embed the suggestion in the listener's mind that regardless of how they feel of a file they'll always listen all the way through. There's absolutely no reason for this suggestion other than to set the listener up for shady suggestions in later files as well as ensuring if they start to listen they'll continue listening.

Make no mistake. This is bad and any file setting something like this up should absolutely without reservation be considered predatory.

Focuses on Weakening Resistance

"See how resisting just makes you weaker" "The more you resist, the faster you drop" "Completely unable to resist the sound of my voice" "It's so hard to keep resisting because it just makes your mind weaker"

Resistance inductions are a thing, and this isn't necessarily uncommon, but it's still a red flag to immediately set in at weakening resistances. This is very much phase 1 of predatory hypnosis, introducing resistance play as part of trance and slowly wearing down resistances--particularly in a file set to be listened to repeatedly. We'll see plenty of this in later files also.

Directing to Contact the Creator

"You're going to feel like this is the best file you've ever watched, and you're going to want to tell me so."

Any file that directs you to contact them should immediately be considered shady and predatorial, but this file takes it one step further adding a suggestion that this is "the best file you've ever watched." The direction is a little insidious also, as it's not "You want to contact me" but "You want to tell me this is the best file you've ever watched," reframing the contact to make it a bit more likely you'll reach out.

Addiction

"Feel how good it feels just to listen to my voice again and again." "Desperate for (my voice). Addicted to it." "You listen to me. You need it. You want it. You want it." "Loving my hypnosis. Needing my hypnosis." "You need this, don't you." "Every time you see one of (my symbols), you're going to want to come back here and listen to this again." "Feels so good to drop for me over and over, again and again." "You love to listen to me, don't you." "You're going to find that you want to come back here very soon. Maybe right now." "You're going to watch this file again, aren't you. Maybe right now."

The one thing that's actually advertised on these files, though the "might" is a bit light considering how heavily it pushes addiction both to this file and his hypnosis in general.

This sort of thing might seem fun at a glance if you're into mind control, cnc, and the like, but it can be extremely dangerous. Especially with a hypnotist and set of files like this where you start in, things seem fine and safe, and then eventually they're not, but the addiction's set in and every time you try to pull away you find yourself coming right back. This'll become more clear as the files progress also.

Another thing to note here is the final suggestion. "You're going to watch this again...maybe right now." Keep in mind this file's weakening resistance and increasing obedience and the final suggestion does not offer an out. No "If you want to" or "If you feel like it". Just "Maybe right now." Which might seem like an out, but it's actually a gentle push back in. (And don't worry! This push will become much less gentle as we go further into his files.) This is outright unsafe and unethical, leaving a listener to loop an unknown number of times.

Final Words

Hopefully this gives some insight into things to watch out for in files. As mentioned above, a very important thing to remember is that frequently files will build on each other with the "starter" file laying a groundwork and each file after progressively layering more and more suggestions. It's not just the first file that matters but every file the hypnotist has created, particularly when the files are building addiction and a need to listen.

Make sure if you're going to listen to files that (if you can safely) you skip the induction and deepener and check the suggestions in the middle to see what you're getting into. If you can't, ask someone you trust who's familiar with hypnotic suggestions to check them out for you. Going in blind may seem fun and sexy, but it's a surefire way to end up in a bad situation.

Play safe.

(minors dni please!)

um. not to continue talking about the same thing even more, but i like thinking abt how hypnosis would affect a prey...

in an instant, a fiesty, angry or upset prey is suddenly sluggish and wobbly and smiley and giggly. they're so transfixed on whatever's mesmerising them that its hard to walk straight, so they're leaning eagerly into the hand or the tongue that they were just before flinching and struggling away from

they're just in pure mindless bliss as they slide down the pred's throat and into their stomach. they're leaning into & kneading at the stomach walls affectionately, smiling and humming and slurring any words they try to speak and getting so, so cozy and sleepy, head full of fluff and honey

Dawg, people have been seeing fucking porn in their little sfw tags

So I made the term “tcfw”

Too

Crazy

For

Work

TCFW is a term used for someone making nonsexual stuff that is too fucking insane to think about showing their art to someone (like their parents for example [especially when they’re working])

[qu1etdays]

Enter Mister-Sandman90, Yet another person who clearly lost their patience, and threw consent out of the window.

For what it's worth, stay safe out there hypno community. This is how messages start and how they could end.

Stop trying to hypnotize people without their consent. This shit is dangerous.

I have some not actually that kinky but also Very Kinky(tm) Halloween art for y'all, you're WELCOME. 🧡 'Cuz hey y'all remember that time Tucker had hypnosis powers . . . ??

Somehow my "dangit I am gonna draw SOMETHING for Halloween this year!!" art wound up being a kinky and an incredibly niche take on an incredibly niche couple that I had literally never thought of before; y'all can thank or blame @faeriekit at your leisure. Because they are the entire "somehow", they're it, this was ALL them.

Yes I did draw Halloween-themed fanart of a Tucker/Jason consensual hypnosis PWP fic in which Jason is stubbornly refusing to be the cute and soft housespouse he so longs to be and Tucker is mercilessly (consensually!) Domming/hypnotizing him into being it anyway. So we are just extrapolating on that fic's setup/concept and Jason is getting hypnotized into doing a vampire/thrall couple's costume and going to a party by his boyfriend totally-just-his-Dom. He will have a very nice time and then get fully shoved down into subspace and fucked stupid in the bathroom, so officially the best time he'll have had at a party without gunfire involved in yeeeeears. 💚💚

Been obsessed with a certain supercomputer these last couple of days.

Both in the short stories and in the game they're always mentioning how the five survivors are "in the belly of the beast" and in xAM'sx guts, so I literally could not not doodle him having eaten someone.

Basically the concept is that instead of making all the sequences in the physical world (like he does in the game) he just eats the person and then runs the sequence directly in their brain while they're in him.

[bimb0-bunnie]

could we talk ab how some doms on here want a bimbo sub but get angry when said bimbo has long nails, wear lots of makeup, pretty jewelry, takes 1hr+ to get ready, loves to shop, needs a man that will spoil/protect them and love how much of a dumb bimbo they are! 🎀🧁🐾

[dazed-dollie]

🥀thorns🥀

to the lovely subs anywhere along their journey to surrender:

this is your reminder that you are a gorgeous rose and you should never let a dominant convince you that you need to remove your thorns to please them or be worthy of keeping.

the thorns protect are there to protect you from the kinds of "admirers" that would think to possess such a pretty thing means to pluck your flower from its roots - leaving it to wither while claiming to put you in “your place".

sometimes the thorns are your limits

sometimes the thorns are your wits

sometimes the thorns are your own sense of yourself and your value

sometimes the thorns are just any of the things that make you the person you are outside of the kinks you indulge in

a dominant worth submitting to will not seek to clip your thorns. they will earn their way through your thorns to claim your beautiful blossom. though they may seek to shape you to their fantasies, they should aim to shape themselves to yours as well.

they will not uproot you from your garden of safety. they don't remove the thorns from your rose, they remove the weeds from your garden.

the remove weeds like the feelings of shame

they remove weeds like the heavy weight of self-doubt

they remove weeds like the fears of honesty, openness, and vulnerability

they remove weeds like the ever-present, spiraling noise of the unwanted thoughts in your mind

they don't set out to turn your "no" into "yes"

they turn "I want to try" into "yes"

they turn "show me how" into "yes"

they turn "that sounds hot" into "yes"

they turn "I've only ever dreamed I could..." into "yes"

they turn "yes" into "please"

they nurture their rose so that it can grow and bloom more beautifully each day.

and you deserve nothing less 🌹

Hello there. I hope I’m not disturbing you.

In one of your posts about predators and which predators to avoid, you mention the hypno professor. There are a few people who go by that name! Which one to block?

Thank you for your time!

You're not disturbing me at all. Thank you for the question!

My apologies, I got the name wrong. "Professor Mesmer" is the person to watch out for. I'll fix my post. A very candid video about Professor Mesmer, the B--mbi files, and what's it's like to be groomed and slowly boiled by a predatory hypnotist can be found here (YouTube link). TW: trauma, sex slave, cult, drug use, b--mbi file discussion.

This sort of story is why I and others here work to educate, help victims, and call out predators. We've seen where it ends, worked with the victims, and it's never pretty.

↳˗ˏˋAbout Mysticˊˎ˗ ↴

I am an eighteen year old female. I've always been into the idea of hypnotist since I believe elementary school, and found it as a kink when I hit 16. So you bet that when I turned 18 I really dove right into it to get to know more about it.

I'm a lesbian dom, simply because I find women attractive and am generally to scared to sub, so that's that. And I really hope to get to meet so many people as I go on.

I'm excited to learn and grow in my skills as a hypnotist and am open to any and all feedback good and bad, so feel free to send asks and DM me whenever!

↳˗ˏˋAbout The Blogˊˎ˗ ↴

This blog is an 18 and up blog where I mainly post hypnosis inductions, hypnosis fantasies, and whatever comes to mind regarding the topic of hypnosis.

This blog is made specifically by a lesbian for lesbians, so while most of my relaxant inductions will not use any specific term, all of my lewder/sex focused inductions will be for the female community, which includes anyone who gets that little twinge in their head and heat between their legs when I call them a "good girl". If that's not you, then it isn't for you. That's all there is to it.

No, this isn't an AFAB or CIS Fem only blog, this is for ANYONE who identifies as FEM. What does that mean? If you have a dick, that is not an immediate expulsion, because trust me, I will work on making inductions for trans females! So long as you're fem leaning of any kind, non-binary, trans-fem, cis-fem, you're welcome to stay and enjoy my blog to the fullest.

But that doesn't mean those masc-leaning or presenting aren't allowed to interact with me. As a lot of doms are male these days, it means a lot if those wiser, more experienced hypnotists can give me pointers/advice. And as mentioned, my more subby male friends can simply use my relaxation inductions if they really want.

↳˗ˏˋRulesˊˎ˗ ↴

✮ Don't use my post to add on an induction, I see plenty of doms reblogging with nothing. I'm not a fan, simply because if you want to be a hypnotist, and your blog is so you can be a hypnotist, do not use other people's works to make you seem like a hypnotist

✮ Please don't start doing inductions on subs who dropped to my work, see sometimes on other people's works where they'll post an induction, a sub will drop, and a dom will go and interact with that sub on that post to get them to play with them. It ain't cool.

✮ Please minors/male subs looking for private sessions DNI! This blog isn't for you, so please move on! Thank you!

↳˗ˏˋMy Tagsˊˎ˗ ↴

Figured that as I grow in popularity that I should come up with my own tags so people can find my work easier, so they are as follows:

❥ #mystic inductions: A tag where all my inductions will be collected for easier findings of them

❥ #mystic rambles: Any rambles or fantasies I have without any actual hypnosis being done

❥ #mystic answers: My answering tag for any asks I get that I have answers to!

↳˗ˏˋMy Linksˊˎ˗ ↴

A collection of my links such as to my main blog/my request form and whatever else I make with it!

❀ My main blog: @spacedoutkeys where I post whatever I want at the time, such as hobbies, photography, life updates, and whatever. SFW and very very greenish

❀ My request form: Mystic's Session Requests where you can go and fill out if you want a session with me! You can check in my bio if it's open or not.

i’ve been seeing multiple people tho point out that the movie IS supposed to be the 3rd drb where there are multiple outcomes and therefore no real winner. which doesn’t make much sense to me storytelling wise, but it’s something to keep in mind!!!!!

[supernormalblogname]

(minors dni please!!) giant hypnotic pred that has a lure and / or hypnotic eyes, of course, but they also have a hypnotic throat. you've already had your mind ensnared by them, but once they open their mouth wide and you get a glimpse of a particularly mesmerising pattern on their uvula or otherwise at the back of their throat, your brain is even more consumed by the single-minded need to get closer.

the pred doesn't even need to do or say anything else as you're immediately & giddily clambering into their mouth and to the back of their throat to get closer, closer to that beautiful light... making you sooo easy to leasiurely gulp down

[starsonmarsy]

currently thinking about how easily he can talk me in circles until my head spins. thoughts draining away as my head swims, engulfed and overwhelmed with bliss.

that little tone he gets when he calls my name that makes my breath hitch, knowing that i'm absolutely fucked the moment i respond.

trying to resist even when i know it's futile, trying to be coy in attempts to hide my excitement and need.

but trying implies failure, naturally. he overrides and overpowers my will with ease.

ending up being wrapped around his finger like a little bitch, toy, pet—anything he wants me to be.

being shown off and made an example of, and then being made to thank him for it.

and then doing it all over again.

People forget …

how easy it is to drop into trance

because when you want to drop, you can easily remember the last trance

you can recall the last time you felt the lovely pull

down

into trance and the more you think about that time

the more you remember how good it felt

and the more you feel the pull back down because you know how good it feels

when you drift

and sink

and drop

down

into trance

and you let everything go

so you can drop down

deeper

into that blank and empty space that you find

calls to you because your mind feels good the more it drops

and the more you drop, the better you feel

so while people forget

you remember

and you drop

and find you can sink down

when you remember how you love to trance and

drop

and the deeper you drop

the more you remember

and the deeper you drop

down

and feel so good

so happy

so blank

so empty

and you find

you forget

you forget how you got here

and all you can remember is how to drop

and all you can remember is people forget

so you drop

and you forget

and you feel so good

so blank and empty

as you drop further

and forget more

and drift away

from everything

and the deeper you go

the more you forget

and the better you feel

and the deeper you go

forget

and

drop
