Heel Face Brainwashing

rdfs:comment

Someone is Brainwashed or Mind Controlled into a Heel Face Turn. Yes, that's right, a Heel Face Turn. This is most notable when it's considered inherently different, or better, than when the heels do the Brainwashing. Then it sends the classic "the ends justify the means" Family-Unfriendly Aesop. It should be noted that if any kind of brainwashing is successful in turning a person from one side to the opposing side, the brainwashee will automatically consider the change (by virtue of the brainwashing itself) to be a Heel Face Turn, no matter what the real case is.

Someone is Brainwashed or Mind Controlled into a Heel Face Turn. Yes, that's right, a Heel Face Turn. This is most notable when it's considered inherently different, or better, than when the heels do the Brainwashing. Then it sends the classic "the ends justify the means" Family-Unfriendly Aesop. In-universe, the Godzilla Threshold can justify almost anything, but on a meta level, when this happens, it means that either the morality is Black and Grey Morality (or Grey and Gray Morality), or there is serious Values Dissonance going on, or maybe just thoughtless Moral Dissonance. Occasionally, the heroes ask first, and the villain figures that he's stronger than whatever they will do, and accepts, only for it to work. Someone who breaks the brainwashing that put him in a Heel Face Mind Screw, if he doesn't decide on his own to stay good (the Power of Friendship is powerful) similar to Amnesiac Dissonance, will likely be a more formidable enemy than before out of righteous indignation. If they have some special powers, it's much more likely that they'll break the brainwashing after exhibiting said powers. On occasion, happens as part of a Memory Gambit. May be induced with a Mirror Morality Machine. The brainwashing can sometimes involve Mind Rape or (oddly) a Care Bear Stare, though not always. However, if it does involve Mind Rape, expect even more Black and Grey Morality. Compare Brainwashing for the Greater Good and Deprogramming and contrast Face Monster Turn. It should be noted that if any kind of brainwashing is successful in turning a person from one side to the opposing side, the brainwashee will automatically consider the change (by virtue of the brainwashing itself) to be a Heel Face Turn, no matter what the real case is. Examples of Heel Face Brainwashing include:
