History MindRape / LiveActionTV

** River also undergoes this whenever she makes contact with the mind of a Reaver. In "Bushwhacked," a man tortured by the Reavers simply ''wakes up'' and she starts screaming at the mental contact. Later on in TheMovie, while ''Serenity'' is passing through the Reaver fleet, her face is locked in absolute horror as she is surrounded by the Reavers, and at the end of the movie, she is rendered catatonic and helpless by their presence as they assault the crew.

* ''Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}}'': [[Creator/DavidTennant Kilgrave]] can make anyone do what he says and he tends to use the power to hurt people. Sometimes it's short and violent and sometimes he uses it to make someone do something unpleasant for hours at a time. In the first episode Hope has been forbidden to move, so she soils herself and she also freaks out when Jessica picks her up and carries her away from the hotel room. In Jessica's case, about a year before the series began, she had been under his control for months, only breaking out when he finally forced her to murder Luke Cage's wife, which shocked her out of it. [[AndIMustScream She described how a part of her was waiting every minute for a chance to break free and escape]].

** ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'s favourite trick. [[spoiler:He put both Lana and Chloe in comas that comes with excruciating agony.]]

--> '''Sheppard:''' What did they do to you?
--> '''[=McKay=]:''' Torture, in ways too hideous and... intimate... to recount.

--> '''John:''' Are you saying I tortured ''myself?''
--> '''Koyla:''' You torture yourself everyday, John.
* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' dealt with this trope two times and actually stressed the physical sexual elements. It happened both times (the latter in a movie) to the half-Betazoid Counselor (and telepath) Troi, first time using corrupting a memory of her having sex with her then-boyfriend Riker into a bizarre rape scene with Riker substituted with the rapist telepath. Commander Riker and Doctor Beverly Crusher were also subjected to the mental rape by the same perpetrator in "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E12Violations Violations]]", in their case by forcing them to relive particularly painful memories with the rapist standing in for different people at different points.
** T'Pol is subjected to this in an early episode of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise'' by mind-meld with a Vulcan renegade. And it gave her Vulcan AIDS. - when the episode aired on Creator/SkyOne, it was followed by an "If any of the issues in this episode have affected you..." message with the number for an AIDS helpline.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' did this a number of times, without the {{Anvilicious}} rape analogy. "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS2E8PersistenceOfVision Persistence of Vision]]" was "Violations" on a ''shipwide'' scale, and the culprit responsible had nearly put the entire crew into a catatonic stupor by the time the last one or two members standing were able to stop him. Then there was the time a Maquis fanatic back home sent subliminal messages to [[spoiler:Tuvok, which made him forcibly mind-meld with every ex-Maquis on the ship and start a takeover]]. Then there were the dream aliens, then there were the aliens who {{Brainwashed}} the crew into working in their factory, then there was the LotusEaterMachine, then there was the beacon that made people hallucinate participating in genocide, then there were [[HuntingTheMostDangerousGame the Hirogen]] making the crew think they were part of the simulated UsefulNotes/WorldWarII they'd created as they 'hunted' them, and on and on and on. Honorable mention for the friendly NegativeSpaceWedgie inhabitants whose means of communication nearly drove Chakotay nuts. This crew's brains got baked so many times it's surprising that they knew up from down by the time the series ended.
** Mirror Spock's forced MindProbe on [=McCoy=] in the original series episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS2E4MirrorMirror Mirror, Mirror]]" came across this way for some viewers. It didn't help that [=McCoy=] appeared almost catatonic afterwards, although of course [[StatusQuoIsGod he was fine by the end of the episode]].
*** The fact that mated Vulcan couples create a permanent mind-meld makes this, and all other instances of forced [[IncrediblyLamePun bondage]], ''literally'' mind rape.
** [=Spock=] himself got mind-raped by Klingon apparatus in "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E26ErrandOfMercy Errand of Mercy]]". Again it was made worse by just how ''passive'' he was in the scene following. And considering that Vulcans value their minds above their bodies...
*** The Klingon commander's dialogue in the scene beforehand was even stuffed full of DoubleEntendre...
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds The Best of Both Worlds]]", Picard is assimilated by the Borg. Apart from being forced to share his mind with trillions of other Borg, his head is also mined for the very strategies that the Federation has painstakingly devised to fight them, allowing them to crush the fleet at Wolf 359. In interviews, the writers directly likened it to rape, and it's not unwarranted; in "Family" Picard breaks down as he describes how he tried to resist and couldn't. How badly he was affected didn't fully show until ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', when it becomes clear that the experience has left him with a near-insane level of rage against the Borg.
*** In [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]] Chief O'Brien had a similar experience in "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS04E19HardTime Hard Time]]" except with the violation component fully in force. In that episode, O'Brien was implanted with the memories of a 20 year prison term, in the course of which [[spoiler: he killed his cell mate, who after years together had become his best friend, over a scrap of food]]. Needless to say, this was an "[[BreakTheCutie O'Brien Must Suffer]]" episode.
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E24TheMindsEye The Mind's Eye]]" (or: ''[[ManchurianAgent The Manchurian Candidate]]'' '''[-[[JustForFun/RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]]-]'''), Romulans feed La Forge horrific images through his neural implants (which normally would connect to his VISOR) in order to brainwash him into becoming their tool.
** At the end of the original series episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E19RequiemForMethuselah Requiem for Methuselah]]", [[spoiler:Spock arguably does this to Kirk. Kirk expresses the desire to forget the love interest of the episode when things end badly, but Kirk is asleep when Spock mind melds with Kirk to make him forget.]]
** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E8TheBattle The Battle]]", a Ferengi gives Picard back the repaired Stargazer (Picard's first command) and then uses his Mind Rape device to force Picard to relive his victory over a Ferengi ship, causing him to use a risky but nearly unstoppable battle strategy.
*** Said strategy was only unstoppable to the Ferengi in the past who had no defense against it at the time. The Enterprise D could easily have stopped it. Riker's problem was finding a way to disable the Stargazer without being forced to destroy it or suffer damage from Picard's attack.
** Used by the Platonians in the TOS episode, "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E10PlatosStepchildren Plato's Stepchildren]]", with the most blatant example being Parmen forcing Spock to laugh and cry.

* The ''Series/StargateSG1'' episode "Unnatural Selection". Also, a slightly milder version of it occurs when human-form Replicators interrogate prisoners.
** Done more directly by Fifth to Samantha Carter in "New Order", after escaping the incarceration she tricked him into. His insertion of his hand into the front of her brain is shown as particularly akin to forced penetration, and we are shown glimpses of the horrific imagery she is subjected to. She keeps screaming the entire time his hand is in her brain. He even moves his hand ''through her head'' during the torment, finally removing his hand from the ''back'' of her brain. By the end, she is in tears, begging him to stop. He later says that he "tortured [her] for so long" because he was angry about her betrayal.
** This happens to the major characters on ''Series/StargateAtlantis'', too. We only get to see what Sheppard is forced to experience (a scenario that ends with his suicide by HeroicSacrifice). But it's heavily implied that what the others went through was even worse.
--> '''Sheppard:''' What did they do to you?
--> '''[=McKay=]:''' Torture, in ways too hideous and... intimate... to recount.
** This also happens to Rodney, Woolsey and Sheppard in Season 5 involving an alien parasite. It's later revealed that the parasite isn't evil and the characters are controlling their own hallucinations. Turns into FridgeHorror when Woolsey imagines a beautiful woman falling in love with him and Rodney recreates a friend who tells him he's brilliant, but Sheppard hallucinates [[ArchEnemy Koyla]] kidnapping him, taunting him, and brutally torturing him for hours on end (including cutting off his ''hand''). It reflects horrifyingly what his [[TheAtoner state of mind]] was.
--> '''John:''' Are you saying I tortured ''myself?''
--> '''Koyla:''' You torture yourself everyday, John.
* Pretty much the background for ''Series/{{Firefly}}'''s River Tam; she was tricked into going to a government-run facility known as "the Academy" where she spent three years having her brain cut apart and transformed into a psychic killing machine. Once she was rescued, she was reduced to a babbling, incoherent and at-times [[AxCrazy violent]] little girl who spends plenty of time [[TheWoobie crying or shaking helplessly in corners]]... until she's triggered, at which point she unleashes the WaifFu to end all WaifFu.
** River also undergoes this whenever she makes contact with the mind of a Reaver. In "Bushwhacked," a man tortured by the Reavers simply ''wakes up'' and she starts screaming at the mental contact. Later on in TheMovie, while ''Serenity'' is passing through the Reaver fleet, her face is locked in absolute horror as she is surrounded by the Reavers, and at the end of the movie, she is rendered catatonic and helpless by their presence as they assault the crew.
*** And then she flips to the opposite mode, and becomes an unstoppable killing machine. (The door closes on her, leaving River with the Reavers. When the door opens again, River is standing there, soaked in blood, gripping an axe and a grappling hook, with what's left of the Reavers in pieces around her. Then the Alliance troops show up...)
** River also gets mindraped by an entire ''planet'' when she is on Miranda, and the vast numbers of people who ''should'' have been alive but ''aren't'' sends her into a screaming mental breakdown. Being TheEmpath ''[[BlessedWithSuck sucks]]'' sometimes.

* Characters/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower: Sauron submits Galadriel to this in the season one finale, taking her through a traumatising vision sequence, firstly posing as her beloved older brother Finrod ([[IncestSubtext while looking at her like no brother should ever look at his sister]]), then proposing marriage to her in the most manipulative way possible while showing her a reflected image of them together as the king and queen of Middle-earth. When she rejects him, he finishes up by showing his terrifying true colors, screaming at her in VoiceOfTheLegion and then making her believe that she's drowning in the ocean -- just like the first time she met [[spoiler:Halbrand]] -- and she may have ''actually'' drowned if it wasn’t for Elrond pulling her out of the water.

* In ''Series/TheBoys'', the psychic [[CapeBusters superhero]] Mindstorm puts Butcher in a coma and forces him to relive [[DrivenToSuicide his brother's suicide]], until TheHeart Hughie convinces him to release him.

** The Nebari "[[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYoursoul Mental Cleansing]]" process involves this. In her first episode Chiana is being escorted back to Nebari Prime so she can undergo the process but makes it clear to the rest of the cast that she'd rather ''die'' than go through it. In "A Clockwork Nebari" the crew of Moya are subjected to a temporary version that turns them into emotionless pawns until the drugs used are cleared from their system. Crichton turns out to be immune to this, probably because the Nebari have never met a human before.

** In "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS4E24TheMindsEye The Mind's Eye]]" (or: ''[[ManchurianAgent The Manchurian Candidate]]'' '''[-[[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE]]-]'''), Romulans feed La Forge horrific images through his neural implants (which normally would connect to his VISOR) in order to brainwash him into becoming their tool.

Honorable mention for the friendly NegativeSpaceWedgie inhabitants whose means of communication nearly drove Chakotay nuts. This crew's brains got baked so many times it's surprising that they knew up from down by the time the series ended.

** Also {{inverted|Trope}} in the same episode. One Dust user is found huddled on the floor screaming that the mountain was falling on him - his Mind Rape victim evidently had some very vivid memories of being caught in an avalanche while skiing.
** According to Lyta Alexander, somewhere on Beta Colony there is a man in an institution who spends his days and nights screaming at things only he can see, things planted in his mind by the Psi Corps as punishment for murdering telepaths. He has to be restrained lest he tear out his eyes.
** The Shadows routinely created servants by irrecoverably altering their personalities. For example, [[spoiler:Anna]].

* [[Creator/DavidTennant Kilgrave]] from ''Series/JessicaJones2015''. He can make anyone do what he says and he tends to use the power to hurt people. Sometimes it's short and violent and sometimes he uses it to make someone do something unpleasant for hours at a time. In the first episode Hope has been forbidden to move, so she soils herself and she also freaks out when Jessica picks her up and carries her away from the hotel room. In Jessica's case, about a year before the series began, she had been under his control for months, only breaking out when he finally forced her to murder Luke Cage's wife, which shocked her out of it.

* ''Series/MotherlandFortSalem'': While tracking down Nicta in "Delusional", Abigail and Raelle experience different magical hallucinations as a result of a spell that are horrifying. Raelle has to experience her mother killing her father and then her, while Abigail's involves her conjures a storm that goes out of control to kill her mother along with other people. Worse, they start to harm others and themselves as a result of these hallucinations until they escape it. The other soldiers with them didn't manage to, and killed themselves unwittingly. Scylla admits this was the same spell she used to cause a mass suicide in the first episode, which indicates the people hallucinated something innocuous that made them walk off ledges.

** This is quite a big one to miss. In ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'' Mesogog always does it to Zeltrax and Elsa so they don't betray him.
*** And at one point to ''his own son.''
*** As far as we know, though, it causes "only" causes tremendous pain... no sign of altering/prying into emotions, memories, etc. Compare hitting someone in the head with a baseball bat. [[HardHead Then again]], that's more likely to affect things mental than it does in Hollywood...

It is said later on in s3 that if this claw ritual is performed wrong, that it could paralyze the subject.
** In several episodes of s2, the ghost of Peter Hale, which Peter forced into Lydia's mind, does this to Lydia. Using her banshee abilities at the end of s1, makes her hallucinate and mind controlls her into helping him ressurect himself. Afterwards he mocks her on how with a little bit of therapy she'll be just fine.

** The entire nogitsune arc in s3b, in regards to the Nogitsune's possession of Stiles.

** Season 5: The Dread Doctors twist the pack's mind, messing with their memories, making both them and the other chimeras they created forget what the Dread Doctors had done with them. The way they made Tracy murder her father and her therapist in her sleep was particularly horrifying

** At the end of the original series episode "[[{{Recap/StarTrekS3E19RequiemForMethuselah}} Requiem for Methuselah]]", [[spoiler:Spock arguably does this to Kirk. Kirk expresses the desire to forget the love interest of the episode when things end badly, but Kirk is asleep when Spock mind melds with Kirk to make him forget.]]

* ''{{Roswell}}''. Half the plots after Tess entered had her mindwarping some person or other, to the extent that [[spoiler:she ends up killing Alex by mindwarping him one too many times to get the translation to the Royal book]].

** This also happens to Rodney, Woolsey and Sheppard in Season 5 involving an alien parasite. It's later revealed that the parasite isn't evil and the characters are controlling their own hallucinations. Turns into FridgeHorror when Woolsey imagines a beautiful woman falling in love with him and Rodney recreates a friend who tells him he's brilliant, but Sheppard hallucinates [[{{ArchEnemy}} Koyla]] kidnapping him, taunting him, and brutally torturing him for hours on end (including cutting off his ''hand''). It reflects horrifyingly what his [[{{TheAtoner}} state of mind]] was.

** "[[{{Recap/BabylonFiveS03E06DustToDust}} Dust to Dust]]", G'Kar takes a drug called "dust" which allows the user to gain telepathic powers for a few hours. He uses it to invade Londo's mind and go through his memories, tormenting him about them in the process. He physically beats him up beforehand in order to subdue him, which emphasizes the similarity to actual rape. [[spoiler:However, before G'Kar's mind-rape session is over, Kosh visits him (first as a vision of his father, then as a sort of Narn angel), and G'Kar undergoes a [[CharacterDevelopment key change of heart]]. Although he is sentenced to 60 days in jail for his assault on Londo, he welcomes it, and writes a holy book.]]

** In "[[{{Recap/BabylonFiveS04E09Atonement}} Atonement]]", Delenn was rather brutally forced to relive some of her memories of the Earth-Minbari war. She had already been living with them for a long time, however, and was thus not broken.
** In "[[{{Recap/BabylonFiveS03E04PassingThroughGethsemane}} Passing Through Gethsemane]]", a [[LaserGuidedAmnesia mindwiped]] former SerialKiller is forced to relive some of his old memories of what he'd done via the interference of a Centauri telepath. Significantly, this interference is supplemented with more mundane techniques, including what looks like bloody writing on the wall (later revealed to be a 23rd-century form of disappearing ink) and recordings of voices (ostensibly of his victims).

* In the ''Series/{{Torchwood}}'' episode "[[{{Recap/TorchwoodS2E5Adam}} Adam]]", said Adam implants fake memories into the team by touching them. Using this to make Tosh believe they're a couple and sleep with her was bad enough, but when Ianto is onto him, Adam gleefully implants him with memories of brutally murdering women for pleasure, all the while saying he "forgot what a rush it is, feeding in the bad stuff".

*** In "[[{{Recap/FarscapeS04E18Prayer}} Prayer]]", Scorpius actually refers to Scarran interrogations as "MindRape."

** Not to mention, Rack from "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E10Wrecked}} Wrecked]]", who basically uses Willow (and others) as some sort of telepathic crack whore. Both Rack and Willow make orgasm faces when he transfers power into her, and then tells her that she "tastes like {{strawberr|yShorthand}}ies."
* Another Franchise/{{Buffyverse}} example: In [[Recap/AngelS01E22ToShanshuInLA the first season finale]] of ''{{Series/Angel}}'', Cordelia has all the human suffering going on across the entire planet shoved into her mind. She winds up in a non-responsive helplessly-in-pain state in the hospital for most of the episode. When she gets better, it's caused her personality to change for the better. Cordelia had been self-absorbed and shallow, though not nearly as much as she used to be, having already undergone positive CharacterDevelopment before this point.

* [[{{Series/Dollhouse}} The Attic.]] Trust me, there's a ''reason'' you don't want to get sent there.
** Heck, the entire freakin' {{Series/Dollhouse}}. It's just that they [[NotIfTheyEnjoyedItRationalization can make you like it]].

* Angelus on ''{{Series/Buffy|TheVampireSlayer}}''. In the past he drove Drusilla completely insane by torturing and killing her entire family before siring her. He had other victims as well, many others, in the old days, and it's implied he did physical rape as well. When he is reawakened in the 21st century, he uses major psychological war on Buffy, Giles, and generally anybody who happens to be around. The Master aptly describes him as "the most vicious animal I have ever known" Even Spike is afraid of him, for all the mocking he gives Angel's ensouled persona.
** In "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS2E22BecomingPart2}} Becoming, Part 2]]", Angelus was on the verge of killing Giles, who has withstood extensive torture without revealing his knowledge of the ritual on how to destroy the world. Spike suggested that Dru play a game; she agrees, and reads Giles' mind to discover his weakness. She finally cajoles the information she wants out of Giles by hypnotizing him, so that she appears as Jenny, his dead girlfriend, in his eyes.

*** Just to mess with Angel Investigations, pulls a Iago to Gunn's {{Theatre/Othello}}, with Fred as Desdemona and Wesley as Cassio.
** The First's taunting and manipulation of Angel in "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS3E10Amends}} Amends]]". He winds up so bad-off he tries to kill himself.

* Implied in ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', when Derek was captured in the future and taken to the basement of an old house. We're not shown what happened while [[{{Room101}} he was in that room]], but when he came out he was visibly shaking, exhausted, and horrified. Whatever it was it was apparently related to [[RobotGirl Cameron]]; when he sees her later in the resistance base he immediately draws his weapon and tries to destroy her, and after travelling back in time he immediately recognized her on sight and drew a weapon on her.

* An episode of the original ''Hawaii 5-0'', "A Bullet for McGarrett", features two women hypnotized by an evil college professor to become assassins. Interestingly the evil college professor was himself brainwashed during the Korean War, by a character played by the same actor who played the evil hypnotist in the original ''The Manchurian Candidate''.

** season 5, The Dread Doctors twisting the pack's mind, messing with their memories, making both them and the other chimeras they created forget what the Dread Doctors had done with them.
The way they made Tracy murder her father, and her therapist in her sleep was particularly horrifying

** Not to mention, Rack from "[[{{Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS6E10Wrecked}} Wrecked]]", who basically uses Willow (and others) as some sort of telepathic crack whore. Both Rack and Willow make orgasm faces when he transfers power into her, and then tells her that she "tastes like [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=strawberry strawberries]]."

** Picard was forced to live out someone else's life in "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS5E25TheInnerLight}} The Inner Light]]".
** In "[[{{Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS3E26S4E1TheBestOfBothWorlds}} The Best of Both Worlds]]", Picard is assimilated by the Borg. Apart from being forced to share his mind with trillions of other Borg, his head is also mined for the very strategies that the Federation has painstakingly devised to fight them, allowing them to crush the fleet at Wolf 359. In interviews, the writers directly likened it to rape, and it's not unwarranted; in "Family" Picard breaks down as he describes how he tried to resist and couldn't. How badly he was affected didn't fully show until ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', when it becomes clear that the experience has left him with a near-insane level of rage against the Borg.

** "Promise to the Death", and "Smoke and Mirrors", Peter had Kate kidnap Scott and Kira, where Kate then turned Scott into a Berserker. Subdueing his mind and first making him stab Kira, before sending him after his own pack. the way Kate dresses Scott up, and puts the Berserker mask on Scott's head has a particular sexual feel to it. Especially with Scott begging Kate not to do so, and screaming as she puts it on him.

** In Pack Mentality, Peter uses his power over newly bitten Scott, to make him sleepwalk to the school, and help him attack one of his targets, a busdriver who'd been part of covering up that the Hale fire was arson. He imposes images in Scott's mind, leading Scott to dream that he himself had attacked and mauled his girlfriend, Allison.

** In Co-Captain, Peter, aided by his nephew Derek, corners Scott in the empty locker rooms, while Scott is only wearing a towel. He then puts his claws in Scott's neck, and forces him to live through not just the Hale fire, Peter's own time in a coma, and Peter's murder of Laura Hale, and Kate Argent's accomplices. This leads Scott with quite reasonable issues with fire afterwards.

** In several episodes of s2, the ghost of Peter Hale, which Peter forced into her mind, using her banshee abilities at the end of s1, makes her hallucinate and mind controlls her into helping him ressurect himself. Afterwards he mocks her on how with a little bit of therapy she'll be just fine.
** In Motel California, the Darach adds wolfsbane to the Coach's whistle, poisoning all four werewolves on the school bus to start hallucinating. Leading three of them, Scott, Ethan and Boyd, to try and kill themelves, and forcing Isaac to relive his memories of being locked up in the freezer. The worst part is that though using a torch brings Ethan and Boyd out of their suicidal mood, with Scott, even after he himself lights a torch that should have dissipated the influence of the wolfsbane, he's still suicidal, even while perfectly aware of what he's doing. Showing that his depression is real. It's only Stiles putting himself in danger, that brings Scott out of it enough to be saved.

** Promise to the Death, and Smoke and Mirrors, Peter had Kate kidnap Scott and Kira, where Kate then turned Scott into a Berserker. Subdueing his mind and first making him stab Kira, before sending him after his own pack. the way Kate dresses Scott up, and puts the Berserker mask on Scott's head has a particular sexual feel to it. Especially with Scott begging Kate not to do so, and screaming as she puts it on him.

* D'avin Jaqobis on ''Killjoys'' believes he's a victim of this because he murdered his entire squad but can't remember why because of neural blockers placed in his brain. [[spoiler: He is later told by the scientist who developed the process that he killed his men in the midst of a psychotic break and he requested the she remove the memories as he found them unbearable. She's lying of course and her process turned him into an unstoppable killing machine. D'av's partner Dutch offers the scientist the choice of being killed or wiped. She chooses to be killed but Dutch has her wiped anyway.]]
