isn't this the same as psychics and hypnotists? Inferno Pendragon 16:08, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
I hesitated a long time before creating this category because it seemed too close to "Hypnotists" to my liking but I ultimately decided to take the risk. Balthus Dire 16:10, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
The point being strictly those who takes control of people and uses them as puppets. Stricter than "Hypnotists" if you ask me, while the "Psychics" are far wider. Balthus Dire 16:11, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
as long as it's monitored sufficiently I don't really care about the existence of either - not all hypnotists are actual psychics and not all brainwashers are psychics or hypnotists (Charles Manson and cult leaders are brainwashers, for example) - depends on the variations you're talking about (as in whether to include real-life brainwashing as well or not) Inferno Pendragon 16:15, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
I intend to focus strictly the category on the villains who take complete control of someone for a long period and monitor it often. Truth to be told, I was more thinking to fantasy villain who brainwash through supernatural means but adding Sect leaders can be interesting, granted that they can turn make their followwers obey their every command, should it be murder, but I fear an open gate to exageration so I'm not sure.

don't let fear of exaggeration stop you - we can deal well enough with trolls and misguided contributors, their is no denying Manson-type cult leaders brainwash people.. we can monitor it to ensure nobody adds obviously false ones Inferno Pendragon 16:27, March 11, 2011 (UTC)
