Rename because "Crazy" is ableist language demeaning mentally ill: Brainwashed And Crazy

Obvious problem. If you don't see it, google "crazy" + "ableism."

We need to have a more compassionate name of this trope, that also hints at its overlap with More than Mind Control, in my opinion...

Possible names? I'm thinking of "Brainwashed Into Violence," but that doesn't cover instances where the brainwashing leads someone to do something nonviolent yet harmful (e.g. stealing from people or emotionally abusing them or filing lawsuits against them, for example). Maybe "Brainwashed Into Abuse," "Brainwashed And Abusive," "Brainwashed And Harmful" or "Brainwashed Servitude" or "Brainwashed And Dangerous" or even "Brainwashed And Mentally Ill," though that may seem redundant.

Or just merge it with Brainwashed as a specific type, where the Brainwashed person is engaging in abusive, criminal, harmful, or violent behavior?

Is this supposed to be some sort of ironic parody of the Mind Rape thread a while back, or what?

I find it pretty lame, personally.

Nah, I'm serious. "Crazy" is ableist and we've had renames for less. Major Unfortunate Implications in a trope name, IMO, as well as a trigger to some people (imagine if you've ever been called "crazy" and had people mean it...) necessitates a rename, in my opinion.

POOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!

Any way. How about no?

No.
