* TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy movie has a "point of view" gun, which forces the person hit to suddenly understand the wielder's point of view. Generally just distracting, but utterly incapacitating when ''[[PersonalityChip Marvin]]'' uses it, as you can imagine.

* The Habbalah from InNomine are able to impose anger, hatred, depression, love/attraction, fear, or nearly any other emotion upon others, they can also impose "emptiness" which is essentially a state of total emotionless apathy. However if the target successfully resists the emotions will sometimes backlash upon the demon, who can either accept them, and be affected by their own power, or absorb them and eat dissonance. If the demon is subjected to his own emptiness, though, there is a small chance that he may instantly redeem and become one of the Elohim, the Spock-like angel counterparts to the Habbalah.

* Freya's "vybe" power in the webcomic ''Magellan'' falls into this category. In a more benign application, she can make a large group of people collapse into helpless laughter, a good way to break up a fight. In more desperate circumstances, though, she can do a "full-spectrum vybe" which apparently makes someone experience every possible emotion simultaneously at full force, enough to render them catatonic for hours or days.

* An episode of ''AdventuresOfTheGalaxyRangers'' had the team seeking to recover a stolen "sensation doll" created as a piece of art by an alien. Anyone who made direct contact with the doll would be deluged with "one million emotions" [[NightmareFuelUnleaded ALL]] [[MindRape AT ONCE]] (or as Goose called it, "the emotional electric chair"). One of the thieves who touched the doll was reduced to an insane wreck.

* Vittorio Malvora in TheDresdenFiles. Because he decided to do some phenagaling outside of the traditional PlanetOfHats line of White Court vampires, he has the ability to use this, plus lust, plus fear, ''all at the same time''. It takes [[spoiler:the HeroicSacrifice of a freakin' fallen angel]] to keep it off Harry.

* Arael's weapon of choice in ''NeonGenesisEvangelion''. It's '''the TropeNamer of MindRape for a reason'''.

* Firecrafters in the CodexAlera series can inflame the emotions of others, Senators and Lords of the realm that can firecraft generally use this ability during their speeches to influence the listeners. Also, Earthcrafters can create lust.

Compare MindRape. Contrast CareBearStare, which is this but with niceness, to be used against a villain.

* In Saberhagen's Books of Swords series this is what the Tyrant's Blade (AKA Soulcutter) does. When it is drawn from its sheath everyone in a 250m radius ''including the wielder'' is struck with such crippling despair that most will be unable to summon the will to do ''anything'', even eat when food is provided.

* ''[[YuGiOh Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' played with this by having Mai Valentine (Mai Kujaku) use the "Shadow of Eyes" spell to entrance monsters to attack, having their power drastically reduced by her "Mirror Wall" trap and be destroyed in the process. Yami Yugi cleverly [[ScrewTheRulesIHavePlot (and in defiance of all game rules)]] subverts this by summoning "Mystical Elf", a ''female'' monster, in defense position.
** ''[[YuGiOhGX GX]]'' also plays with this trope by having Rei Saotome (Blair Flannigan) initially run a deck focused on dropping Maiden Counters on her opponent's monsters and having them serve her. While the way Judai (Jaden) trumps this is within the boundaries of the rules, it still focuses on Burstinatrix being female, which is overall irrelevant to the duel at hand.

* Madrigal Raith in TheDresdenFiles. Because he decided to do some phenagaling outside of the traditional PlanetOfHats line of White Court vampires, he has the ability to use this, plus lust, plus fear, ''all at the same time''.
