not to be the mind control guy on main but minor pet peeve: if the affected person is being puppeteered without their mind or emotions being influenced thats not mind control, its body control. someone please tell the tma fandom that. 

#the web gets called the mind control entity but most of the stuff we explicitly get 'onscreen' thats actually definitely the web involves #way more body control with maybe a light side of the person being confused as to why they are doing something bc they may not instantly or #fully understand they are being puppeted. its not that the web cant do real mc – triggering cravings for example is a more straightforward #example of canon web stuff that does count as mind control – but beyond that its all just stuff thats allegedly the web acting to cause #something which makes it hard to determine whats going on there if anything actually is and whether it counts #there is a decent amount of non-web stuff in tma i would classify as falling under the umbrella of mind control as well but half the time #people tend not to tag it as such even when centering a fic around it. arguably as an entity the web is incentivized not to do certain #forms of control bc if being able to draw fear from the controlled person is at all a priority it takes a lot of stuff off the table #its nit like body control cant fall under the umbrella but the way that a solid 70% of it is depicted in tma just doesnt. and yet its #overwhelmingly the primary thing that gets tagged as such #disappointing and annoying and actively makes it a lot more difficult to find mc stuff
