- Every single one of Queen Atomia's slave "subjects" was presumably human at one point, before she hit them with her Shrink Ray and shoved them in her horrific Mook Maker, permanently altering them physically and mentally into the forms of her robotic looking "Neutron" and "Protron" slaves for the rest of their lives.
- Every last drop of water on the "island planet" of Sorca is hexed to contain Circe's transformation potion, including the morning dew! Anyone arriving there will inevitably dehydrate if they can't finish their business and leave in the time, assuming they even know Circe's corrupted Sorca's water cycle, unless they mix molu herbs that Circe has nearly eradicated from the planet into their drink, and just getting wet is enough for the potion to seep into a person's skin and begin a Forced Transformation.
- Possibly due to Values Dissonance, the fact that the Amazon "good guys" regularly take defeated opponents to a hidden near inescapable prison island and lock them into mind control devices that force them to obey their captors every command with a smile without trial regardless of their alleged crime is a pretty damn horrific bit of Accidental Nightmare Fuel. It's essentially Brainwashing for the Greater Good played disturbingly straight and no one, including Wonder Woman, finds it unacceptable for violating basic civil rights. The allies who introduced the Amazons to these devices have even fewer reservations about their usage.
- The Lighter and Softer Silver Age of comic books often retreads story lines from the Golden Age "Earth Two" run but tends to omit the Venus girdles from its "Earth One" setting, wherever possible.
- 1986 comic The Legend Of Wonder Woman revisits two brainwashed Golden Age villains and shows that while one was indeed irredeemable, that the other was perfectly capable of being reformed through conventional methods and that the brainwashing itself actually solved nothing in the long run.
- In direct contrast to the Silver Age Earth one, the brainwashing of defeated enemies and captured criminals gets played up again in Post Crisis Wonder Woman: Earth One and it's shown as even creepier and blatant than the Golden Earth Two stories, while the newer story paints the practice as a good thing!
